Wow Japan...

[Vhite]

It's actually kind of funny when you think Japanese don't tend to show their emotions. The ears would lay flat all day.

But that doesnt mean that they dont have them.

 

[Irridium]

Um... so what?

They're just cat-ears brah.

well the point is that they respond to brainwave activity

Well yeah I guess thats kind of cool. But the way the OP words it, its like he's scared of it or something.

 

[Seieko Pherdo]

Somehow this doesn't surprise me

 

[witheringsanity]

these are awesome. can't wait to get a pair

 

[DRSH1989]

were they made @ Fukushima?

 

[ZehMadScientist]

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say this is a 4, with a 10 being the likes of the much discussed Kissing machine, and a 1 being what would be something that could likely be produced/invented by us westerners.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

While the technology is cool as hell, the application... Well, not so much. I don't find 'em that cute, nor are they very practical...

 

[mireko]

Ah shit, the fucking furries will be all over this.

Your Avatar made this post incredibly Ironic

How exactly? Amaterasu is a wolf. Nothing anthromorphic about her.

That's like saying it's ironic that I own a dog.

well it kind of is since ammy is a goddess in wolf form.
i think this is pretty cool though maybe if the could make a cap with dog ears...

And since when have gods been humans?

I don't agree with the his comparison either, but aren't Shinto gods generally depicted as being humanoid?

[sub]Obviously that doesn't have too much of a bearing on the character in Okami.[/sub]

why... not apply this to something like... a neurally based mechanical prosthetic? sure you still have to get the power-source to be small and efficient enough but... dear god that's cool never-mind. o_o

 

[Risingblade]

Oh....fuck the hell yeah! I want those!

 

[SD-Fiend]

This is a huge waste to resources, all hate on furries aside. They can make brainwave controlled machines and waste it on freaking cat ears? Why? Why is there a demand for this? Who thought this morning after waking up "Hey, it would be cool to have moving cat ears on top of my OTHER ears to wear in public?" Apply this to prostethic limbs and other useful items, brainwave controlled anything really, THEN make this kind of gimmick.

we actually had this earlier for some kind of mental obstacle course it was commercially availabe too

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Nekomimi hardly ever looks good irl...

 

[duchaked]

Ignoring the fact that I've never understood the appeal of girls with cat ears, the technology behind them sounds really cool. It's like the mood ring has been updated for the 21st century.

LOL seriously...yay ears?? I don't get it

but I do get mood rings tho

well as described by a ghost with a third eye she appears to be a fair maiden

 

[Reincarnatedwolfgod]

it strange but am impressed that it can go up with the power of your mind. if only they could now use this theologically for something more useful then cat ears. over all i seen stranger stuff from japan so i will approve of this

 

[googleback]

I was expecting something heartbreaking in this thread. that was actually a laugh!

 

[Brain_Cleanser]

Reminds me of FLCL.
I want some SO HARD.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

..... This is only the first stop on the long path that ends in real life catgirls.. Good job Japan.. *gives a thumbs up*

 

[General_Potatoes]

Oooooookay...... Im not sure if I should be scared or amazed o.o

 

[My name is Fiction]

*thinks*
Well is that a bad-
*thinks of squid*

*Would still buy them*
