I was really impressed by what he knew. Just goes to show that weeb level can not compare to someone that actually moved to Japan cause they liked it so much.
I was surprised by you knowing every single one of the characters in the cars and even internal jokes like Aqua being a onion but knowing about military weapons too!? How much of a weeb culture expert you are Noriyaro? And btw not a single Oozora Subaru in a Subaru? I bet there is at least one of those out there
Knowing the onion joke got me. You've got to be in the rabbit hole pretty deep to know that much detail. And there is no better description of Houshou Marine than horny pirate.
What a mad lad Alexi is. Goes to an itasha meet to explain the logic behind anime girl cars, talks about vtubers and shipgirls all day, then the event organizers literally tell him to go touch grass and the absolute LEGEND actually does it.
6:34 "this is houshou marine who is a ... for lack of a better word " oh so he's going to explain vtubers and maybe hololive- "... a horny pirate " CULTURED.
I really want this to be showcased on the Grand Tour tent and have Jeremy ask why there are a lot of cartoon characters, while James and Hammond correct him, which Jeremy starts to insult modern Japanese culture.
"Fate is hard to explain" I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I can confirm this: I had to read fluid dynamics and metallic molecular behaviour papers and those were still easier to understand than the Akasha concept.
I was surprised when Alexi went over some of the characters and series featured on the cars. For those that might not be obvious and he didn't go over I've made a small source list for those featured. 0:01 Shion (Hololive Vtuber) 0:03 Alice and Asuna (Sword art online) 0:04 Yoshiko Tsushima (Love Live!) 0:05 Unchou Kan'u (Ikkitousen) 0:05 Yoshiko (Love Live) 0:26 Shamiko (The Demon Girl Next Door) 0:29 Shizuka (iDOLM@STER) 0:45 Aqua (Hololive Vtuber).. 0:58 Tsumugi (THE iDOLM@STER Million Live!: Theater Days) 0:59 Mizuki Makabe (THE iDOLM@STER Million Live!: Theater Days) 1:01 KAF (Vtuber) 1:03 Shiryu Chou'un and Unchou Kan'u (Ikkitousen) 1:25 Setsuna Yuki (Love Live!) 2:00 Rina Tennoji on both sides (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club) 2:05 Riko Sakurauchi (Love Live!

4:26 unnecessay knowledge: the weapon manufacturer Oerlikon is actually called after the city they built them; Oerlikon. Today it‘s part of Zurich, the biggest City in Switzerland. Unfortunately we don‘t have itasha cars here, but we have a lot of itsaha cars here (watch the video again if you don‘t get the joke lol) Greetings from Switzerland!
"I'm not one to judge because I've been there too but when you have a bunch of virtual girlfriends and no real girlfriend you probably have a lot of spare money to spend on this sort of stuff." Love it!
The BEST part of this is Alexi not just revealing his power level, but exceeding far beyond it when, while talking about the Strike Witches car, ALSO names the weapon correctly as well as getting close to its historical provenance, albeit with a mistake.
Well,i found recently in Romania a Romania-sha car. A Dacia Logan 2012 with Nakano Nino from "The Quintestal Qvintuplets" livery everywhere,and is located in city Pitești,county Argeș. Greetings from Romania also 🇷🇴👍
What I love most about these is that they're always so clean. Take the wrap off, and you've got a car that would melt any car nerd's mind. But the wraps are always so quality too.
This. The owners love what they do and you see it. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY better than some golf or audi with bigass wheels that don't fit at all but you see it all over the place. It doesn't matter what style or car it is, I appreciate it if it is well done and you see that someone put some thought into the process
Said it before, and I'll say it again; normal stories paint you a picture. In FATE's case that picture is the equivalent of a Jackson Pollock painting.
I love how alexi is just cultured enough to know all the subtle details of itashas but also makes jabs at everyone in the scene, gotta love it also loved the little nature vlog style ending haha
7:39 the moment he realised he's giving us an introduction about anime, vtuber and weebs stuff and nothing about the car specs for half a video. i like it. should give him a subscribe!
Respect for the Aqua thumbnail, not a surprise for me that she's one one of the holomembers with the most itashas. What i am surprised about is that there wasn't a single Rushia car, considering how her fans have the deepest pockets, plus I think her aesthetic would work well for a car wrap
I love how he actually knows the Charakters as well. It's not just him explaning it from Wikipedia/ Hearsay, he actually knows what's going on. Also, off topic, the pronounciation of 9:48 was spot-on.
What I appreciate about Japanese itasha over American itasha, they actually have well put together cars. It's almost like they are car people first before anime, while it's backwards for Americans.
@@Turbo_Lag_Gaming Why does that matter? If the owner loves Zero Two and his dream car is a Charger, isn't it natural for them to combine them both together? I mean, it just has to be done with heart and correctly. I've encountered quite a lot of great looking American Muscle Itasha in the old Forza games, so it definitely would work even better in real life given the fact that you've even more freedom with a real car.
Things I did not expect to encounter in one and the same noriyaro video: 1) Alexi flexing how knowledgeable he is about anime, games and otaku culture. 2) Blasmusik
Okay, that effect on the car at 5:20 ish with Fubuki on it, is really cool, wow. edit. I also like how you know the biggest memes/jokes surrounding the hololive idols.
It's always interesting to me that there are cross sections of people like this (like in this case racecar customization, weeb culture and military/vtubers/idols etc.) large enough for it to be an actual scene, a "thing". Like how many racecar customizing LoveLive fans are there for it to be a reocurring theme and have them meet up regularly? Another one of these things coming to mind would be the Anime/WW2/grand strategy gaming/history nerd scene, which i'd say i'm at least somewhat connected with. It's interesting to think about what quite specific but shared paths led all these otherwise unconnected people into this quite specific subculture (which i'd say isn't that small). A lot of them probably got into strategy games in their early years, stumbled across Anime on early TH-cam, got into history at some point and it all converges, reinforced by social networks online, like on Steam or Discord.
9:03 My jay dropped. That is the coolest thing I've seen on a car in a long time. Subtle body decal paint. Best in show IMO; this is what I would want if I was going for this kind of thing. It actually looks amazing.

Actually love this style of car and video..I don't know any characters outside of like pokemon and eva but the big loud colors and the detail in the wraps just have to be appreciated. Also love the tours of spots in japan I think as car people we all love a good drive somewhere and I'd honestly watch you walk around anywhere and tell stories Alexi. great video!
@@delta-a17 He'd pronounce it properly so it wouldn't be weird. It ain't two who or toe hoe It's hard to find an English equivalent in pronunciation but I guess the closest is a taw haw (actually that still sounds off lol) Maybe like saying "torn horn" without the "rn"s
I used to work on a US military base & saw a serviceman with anime stickers on his car, mainly of Himiko Toga. I said "nice Toga sticker", and he laughed & said thanks, lol. I think a good amount of people out there are into it for the joke of it. It's just entertaining, being a little wacky like that. Now, wrapping your whole car is a different story, but it reminded me of this, haha.
Yay another itasha video by Alexi! I'm glad that Alexi is spreading the knowledge of cars and anime/manga/vidya culture at once!! Edit: It's neat to see some cars from people I follow on Twitter at this meet.
I see, never noticed the level of details and character and quality put into each car. No wonder it's painful - putting stickers doesn't seem too painful, but making a good car? That is amazing. Glad TH-cam recommends this.
Personally I love this look and it never gets old, sure I love cars with just a clean look, stock or even the beater style look, but why not enjoy all styles of cars ? It’s what gives flavor to the car world. More variety = less bland = less boring

I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I can confirm this: I had to read fluid dynamics and metallic molecular behaviour papers and those were still easier to understand than the Akasha concept.
As a Fate fan and mechanical engineer reading papers on wave propagation in compressible viscous flow for my PhD: I agree...
as a military aerodynamics engineer, i also agree to the fact that complex fluid behavior is easier than akhasha
as a highschooler who hasn't really achieved anything, I agree
I'm pretty sure even Nasu doesn't know wtf is going on with the fate franchise anymore.

From Itasha to Travel Vlogging, what a transition in content. Definitely here for it
noriyaro: yeah i’ve been there a bit myself so i respect it. *proceeds to actually showcase his strong knowledge*
Actually love this style of car and video..I don't know any characters outside of like pokemon and eva but the big loud colors and the detail in the wraps just have to be appreciated. Also love the tours of spots in japan I think as car people we all love a good drive somewhere and I'd honestly watch you walk around anywhere and tell stories Alexi. great video!
I'm actually surprised how good the art looks on the cars. They look pretty drippy!
This man knows more about anime, Videogames, and virtual tubers thank ever will
The crow GTR was 🔥🔥
I like how he specifically avoids calling out the name of the franchise that Aya is from, thank you.
whats the problem with touhou
@@randymarsh4748 Might sound weird in English?
@@delta-a17 sounds pretty normal to me
@@delta-a17 He'd pronounce it properly so it wouldn't be weird. It ain't two who or toe hoe
It's hard to find an English equivalent in pronunciation but I guess the closest is a taw haw (actually that still sounds off lol)
Maybe like saying "torn horn" without the "rn"s
@@tinybabybread Yeah, basically とほ pronounced normally haha
10:52 imagine being a serious race car driver and being passed by this
Loved the basically OVA section of Noriyaro going to the sky terrace, background music choice is great too lol
Even Aqua and Shion itasha cars parked side by side,
also two Aqua itasha put smile on my face
I used to work on a US military base & saw a serviceman with anime stickers on his car, mainly of Himiko Toga. I said "nice Toga sticker", and he laughed & said thanks, lol. I think a good amount of people out there are into it for the joke of it. It's just entertaining, being a little wacky like that. Now, wrapping your whole car is a different story, but it reminded me of this, haha.
Saw a guy on Reddit decorate the interior of his Bradley with GuP stickers
Yay another itasha video by Alexi! I'm glad that Alexi is spreading the knowledge of cars and anime/manga/vidya culture at once!!
Edit: It's neat to see some cars from people I follow on Twitter at this meet.
The way you said the word "culture" after getting that fresh air really said it all. Love it
I see, never noticed the level of details and character and quality put into each car.
No wonder it's painful - putting stickers doesn't seem too painful, but making a good car? That is amazing.
Glad TH-cam recommends this.
Love the mountain trip and oompa band. The cars are fantastic but seeing more Japan is also fantastic!
Tiddy cars and my thanksgiving leftovers, what a Friday night
@7:29 that's not Mirai next to Kanata, it's Lamy. :)
Okay , jokes aside , noriyaro's like a Hermaus Mora of weeb culture.
Good to see you like Nori's videos as well! I remember seeing your comments on Metatron's/Skalla's videos.
lol shizu here
Didnt know theres a term for this "Anime Style Cars"
Now this is my or our dream car.
Wow... that gun trivia was definitely the most impressive part of this video.
Those semi-transparent wraps are sick. Loving the content Alexi!
Personally I love this look and it never gets old, sure I love cars with just a clean look, stock or even the beater style look, but why not enjoy all styles of cars ? It’s what gives flavor to the car world. More variety = less bland = less boring
"This is from the Fate series, which is incredibly hard to explain." I got a chuckle out of that line
Liked the end part on the mountain.
Nice views
The amount of love live itashas!!! Cultured meet it must have been
8:18 2hu cars are life, Aya is life. Just need my Chen car and im a happy boy.
