Anime t shirts are great because you can always spot a fans at 100 paces in a crowd. Kind of like a big badge of anime/manga love, we wear them with pride or not.

T-shirt wise I know I have an Evangelion, a Lum, a Darkstalkers, a Ranma 1/2 cat girl, an Iria anime, and a Shirow Firecats.

So here are my questions:

What shirts do you have?
How often do you wear them?
How do you wear them? Like a flag or not.
When you wear them do strangers ask you about them?

I have two of note, a Yu Yu Hakusho one which I won (hardly ever wear) and a Haibane Renmei one. I wear the Haibane one more often, and if people ask what it is, I tell them! (people don't ask a lot though)

Sheffield Space Centre have a great selection of anime t-shirts. You can contact them on 0114 2758905 and request a catalogue.

Tokyotoys.com and Anime-On-Line.com are also good for shirts. If all ends in failure try Forbidden Planet.

I like a reaction to my shirts sometimes because its nice to be seen as an individual and not looked down upon as a nerd, as may be the case sometimes in japan. Anime images are more mainstream now also because of games so many like what they see.

I never wear anime shirts, but mainly because firstly, I hate things with logos and secondly I object on principle to wearing big breasted girls on my chest, especially considering the strange looks I get from other girls.

That said, shirts might have changed since I last looked at them, but as it stands, I'm not a fan.

Plus, all my female friends then think I watch porn. Yay. Crying or Very sad

Especially as anime is considered a 'boy thing'

Wow, churning up the archives a bit PaleBlack...

I've got a few more anime Tshirts since then. I have those two, plus:

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya "SOS-dan logo"
Funimation Channel "Eclair & Lumiere" Tshirt
plus several others I hardly ever wear. I regularly wear the Renmei, Haruhi, and Funimation ones.

Yeah I know I'm churning up the archives. The sad thing is that I don't have anything better to do! Laughing

I've moved away from a lot of the shirts with series characters on them, though my Azumanga one got a few compliments at AMEcon, I'm steering towards t-shirts that just have emblems and logos on them, like the FMA shirts that have Ed/Al/alchemic ensignia on them as only anime fans *know* what they are.
Laughing Man and Individual Eleven logos are good ones too.

I've only got two - the Yu Yu Hakusho one from MVM's boxed release and the 'UK Anime Club' one. I've never worn them out the house so they only get an airing on quiet days in.

A Laughing Man T-shirt might be cool so I may keep an eye out for one in future.

Not really a big image T-Shirt person anymore. Haven't been for years, long before I got into anime.

But, I do have a Tetsujin 28 T-shirt that I got with the movie, (reviewer incentive Embarassed

) I'm XL and the T-Shirt is M, so it doesn't get worn.

I also have an Obelix T-Shirt that I wear a lot, and will only throw out when it's absolutely threadbare.
