yeah i got one but its super sharp. literally hurts to play unfortunately. otherwise i would have loved it to be my main throw
I’d take one that said “Hey, That’s a Baseball!”

I don’t know if I’d straight up buy a yoyo with an anime girl in a bikini or something and I think waifu culture is kinda cringe, but if we can have more mascots or just cool characters on yoyos that would be cool.
I kinda hate buying yoyos without any engravings on them, how the hell am I supposed to remember what the name of your blank solid color generic yoyo is 10 years down the line.
Something like spiral’s mascot or even
@eatpotaro 's pfp Sakamoto are/would be great on yoyos

That could be dope. The new hydrangea yoyo has a character on it and that seems exactly like what youre talking about

Laser engraving? or take a Sharpie to it and (potentially) ruin it.

theres a certain japanese yoyo store that has a section dedicated specifically for yoyos with anime motifs on them, just saying if anyone is interested enough to go take a look.
also on the topic of anime engravings from the viewpoint of an elder weeb. It has to be done tastefully and properly. My pet peeve with complicated engraving designs is that not every complex graphic is made to be an engraving and illustrators sometimes dont make thier designs with the mindset of them being basically a monogram, so things end up being an illegible mess. Also dont come to me with corny anime stuff. Do it tastefully and we are good.

The term “waifu” is derived from the English word “wife” and is commonly used in the anime and manga community to refer to female characters that someone has a strong affection for or sees as a significant other, even though they are fictional.

Honestly, I’d rather have a throw with Calcifer from Howl’s Moving Castle, or an Ohmu from Nausicaa. A robot from Castle in the Sky would be awesome, too!
SOOT SPRITES!

character goods when they’re for a character or done by an artist you genuinely like is cool, but just buying things with random anime girls on them just because “anime” is kinda lame and tacky imo
yoyos also just don’t feel like a good canvas for normal 2D illustrations anyway, too many curves/angles/cuts that morph the illustration in ways that weren’t intentional and considered, and then all of the limitations that come with engraving. Caps solve these issues pretty well though.

I wouldnt consider this a “waifu” as that has a specific connotation but @mag does great art and I would never hesitate to put more of their work on our designs

I like engravings that complements the design of the yoyo. Caps with a busy design can be cool, but it’s kind of in an ironic Y2K nostalgia way.
i need to find them, what’re they called?
i’d absolutely consider them waifu imo, i sorta just mean in that anime art style. and i want one so bad but i’m so broke
