Some Japanese students at the University of Tsukuba decided they’d put their effort into creating a coat that could give the sensation of being hugged from behind by their girlfriend. Make that, their imaginary anime-sounding girlfriend.[/quote]

Watch as the technology is transferred to waifus.

i can see many practical applications for this incredibly useful piece of modern machinery

This actually could be useful for people who are depressed if you kinda think about it. Then again... Actually getting hugged by another human being would be good as well.

I read the title as "a raincoat that simulates being hanged" What is wrong with me...

'Waifu simulator'

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;40180997]wearing this would only make someone more depressed than they already were[/QUOTE] I dunno, apparently there was enough demand to not only come up with the idea, but actually go through all of the trouble of actually making it. "Enough demand" as a quality and not a quantity of course. As in, I doubt this will reach a large audience (then again this *is* Japan), but at least a couple people really really wanted this.

I am not sure what's more sad. The fact that somebody designed it or the fact I am actually wondering if I wouldn't want one myself.

Just think of what could be done if the Japanese put this much effort into things that aren't designed for people with anime girlfriends.

That's kind of sad.

Just imagine the progress they'd have made if they didn't put so much effort in inventing artificial female crotches and hugging jackets.

Is there a boyfriend coat on sale as well?

It looks cozy

[QUOTE=Dominicus;40181162]Definitely the latter.[/QUOTE] :[

Every day japan is closer to real life being an anime

Shit, now I kinda really want one.

I'm pretty sure someone already made this except without the weird anime voices.

Can't wait for the pants version.

[QUOTE=Jacklus2.0;40181233]Shit, now I kinda really want one.[/QUOTE] What's the appeal of a coat hugging you? It's a coat. Sex androids would be one thing, but a coat?

I like hugs :<

I remember getting hugged from behind once, it was awesome! I know that it's obviously just a coat and not a real, warm, breathing person, but it's a cool concept I guess. Goes to show how many lonely guys there are out there...

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;40180986]Quickly we must invest in hug booths! [/QUOTE] It would be a wise idea to invest in a sign for every one of them, with the text [I]"NO GROPING"[/I]
