Real life Yoko versus pillow case... you decide!
by John Martone, 01/14/2009
Real life Yoko versus pillow case... you decide! photo

You guys are gonna help me win an argument. Not more than an hour or two ago, good buddy Hitogoroshi sent us this side by side comparison of a Yoko cosplayer and her pillowy counterpart. Like any time similarly themed things are near each other (ice cream, books, twins) we began an immediate dialog over which one of these two we preferred. Much to my astonishment, favoritism was show to the pillow. Now I'm not going to single out anyone other than Brad, but I was really surprised by this.

I dunno if its because most people prefer the perfectly impossible proportions of a two dimensional figure, but I, like Mike, would take the 3d equivalent and pay her for rambunctiously cuddling buy her a very, very nice dinner... before rambunctiously cuddling her brains out.

(Thanks Hitogoroshi!)

raasbo

Totally agree with John, I also prefer the 3d version more. But they are both nice to look at.
 
Red Baylon

Make her asian and we'll talk.
 
garreto

I'm with Baylon; make her Asian. The real one looks ok, but the face isn't making it for me.
 
Brad Rice

Face could do better, IMO. Also, perhaps a little bustier? The shot doesn't do a good job of conveying those features.
 
senefen

*am a girl*
3D, we could be friends :P
 
Mooman18

Why not a little of both? Who says we can't stick a foot into two different dimensions..so to speak?
 
God Len

I'm all for the real girl. Call me
 
Sigue

I see no problem with the real person.

 
hybrid-kernel

Definitely 2d, although I don't really like yoko in the first place.
 
kamanashi

Hmm... This is hard. I think 2d Yoko is my pick, though the 3d Yoko is still good. I guess it's because I'm so used to 2d Yoko.
 
giapet

I wanna do 3D Yoko on the 2D Yoko pillow.

♥
 
MoonStorm

Dido what gia said but I have a song about 2D or flat buts.

Yeah you saw that coming
 
darkcyder

Give me the real girl. Errrrr, I meant her number.... yea....
 
redroses3164

I don't see anything wrong with 3D gal. Her cosplay is top notch. I love her wig choice too.
If I were a dude, I'd pick 3D.

But whatever floats your boat I suppose.
 
Alice

I agree with Gia :3 Snuggling with 3D on 2D pillow ^__^

Oh, and 3D needs to smile a bit more. She looks a little too *pensive model* instead of *shy smile*
 
Nebs

Obviously I'd rather have bedtime with a real girl than a cartoon pillow. But as to which one is hotter, I'd have to say the pillow. =b
 
Kageryu

I dunno about you guys, but I'll take the pillow.

Mmm mmm good.
 
Niko

Gia's answer is the best, but if I must choose, 3D.
 
sh1nd0kun

ill go for the pillow because pillows cant crush my heart...
 
cielo mist

real one,you cant have sex with a pillow
 
Hei

Pillow. The girl is attractive, but she's not my kind of attractive... i'm way too picky for an otaku
 
Syn

The real one wouldn't come within a mile of me, so fuck that whore.

Real life and anime can't compare anyway. Anime is always way cooler.
 
Heero Yuy

3D. She looks like she'd be able to give me tons of tips on how to improve a costume.

That way I could apply that knowledge on my girlfriend's costumes...hehe (too bad she rarely cosplays)
 
MaXDemage

3D cuddling with the 2D and me watchin... >_> oh, wait. Ym, to be a real man I choose 3D - but damn it mus be really cool taking 2D to some trip and looking at people faces ;D
 
DH

"real one,you cant have sex with a pillow"

Well technically you can but that would be kinda wierd...

Funnily enough I'm with John in this one - nothing beats the original Yoko. Hard to say why.

There was this Rei cosplayer model that I thought beat the original (IMO) though:



I'm sure most of you guys have already seen this, bu she's hawt!
 
mega324386

I would go with the 3D one , but I agree either asian or maybe a bit more *shy smile* would make her better.
 
Oni

I'll take the 3D over the 2D any day of the week. Dryhumping a pillow doesn't sound all that awesome to me . . .

 
Chicken008

I've seen a better Yoko cosplay, but both I guess.
 
DH

What about Nagakawa Shoko's version of Yoko?


 
Teradoc

3D in this case is actually quite good looking imo, so I'd take 3D over 2D. But again, I too must echo gia's comment. 3D ontop of 2D
 
mega324386

Excluding the hair color, I like the Nakagawa one better.
 
Phenyl

@garreto
That's what paper bags are for.
 
Hitogoroshi

I think Gia wins.
 
faceoffkang

Nagakawa Shoko's version of Yoko,beats all and equals greatness
if the 3d yoko was Asian then yeah...... the pillow is so much hotter but nothing beats the real thing....
 
faceoffkang

also the cosplayer is wearing to much clothes....
 
John Martone

Gia: Way to go, creating an "both" answer. I hate you.

DH: I really like that yoko cosplayer, but she seems too abnormally skinny. The picture really should have been of her firing her gi-normous rifle, since I can't take her seriously. P.S. your Rei now haunts my dreams.

sh1nd0kun & Senefen: ha and aww
 
Reibooi

I prefer the Pillow version simply because the 3d doesn't look like Yoko outside of the costume.

Personally I like Shoko-tans Yoko cosplay the most but that's just me.
 
DH

John - this is just a pic amongst quite a few others Nakagawa did, it is from a book. She does the best Cosplay of Yoko in my opinion. But you really think she's that skinny? 0_o"

About the beautiful Rei cosplayer, I dream about her 24/7 lol! My jaw dropped when I say the pic the first time... Just wow!
 
John Martone

DH: Yeah, I know its the impossibility of these voluptuous, yet incredibly strong/fast figures. I never think twice on page, but I seemingly question if I could see this Nakagawa firing a rifle the size of her body from a moving mech-thing.

I kind of just expect the wind to pick up and blow her way. But in answer to your question, no, I don't feel she is that skinny, she just doesn't match with the combat enabled image the series gives me.

At least with a character like guts, he looks like he could wield a freakishly large sword.

 
Colette Bennett

Gia wins the thread!
 
DH

[quote]Gia wins the thread![/quote]

That's unfair! :'(

 
fission2

i think it would have been a fairer match if the cosplay yoko was smiling; strangely enough, i vote pillowcase in liu
 
ProtoKnuckles

There was a few insanely hot Yokos at the NYAF, which was the only thing that made that con worth it since it was terribly mismanaged....

But anyway, as to THIS 3D Yoko vs. the 2D one.... I'd have to say 2D.... unless 3D was right here. Then I'd tell her anything she wanted to hear. :D
 
meluckycharMS113

3D is better. Even though there are better Yoko cosplayers out there, this one is still pretty cute IMO.
 
strikerbolt

Which one is sexier and i would prefer? the 3D one.
Which one am I more likely to lie in bed with? the pillow.

its kinda sad how true that statement is...
 
Jark212

Pillow, only because I'm a whore...
 
nagato yuki

[quote]Make her asian and we'll talk.[/quote]

Actually i think the best Yoko would probably be a natural redhead.

 
Workstealer

[quote]I think Gia wins.[/quote]

Your a bastard, that steal content off other site
 
Zeouterlimits

Why not have both at the... oh Gia got there before I did.

*continues to fantasise*
 
vac2008

Gia, you have tooken my answer as well. Well, that says a lot about my opinion!
 
Desu Noto

If the real one was the hot Puerto Rican Yoko I had a boner for at NY Anime Festival then I would pick the 3D one. Unfortantly, I don't like the real one in the pic cuz she's a butterface. So 2D it is!

I haven't and dear lord ^that women is HOT!

Oh, and the real girl is always better than the fake! That goes for living women to non-living women and females in general. I mean who would you choose a sincere attractive girl, or a fake hot chic? The choice is simple for me.
 
pamelaNeko

Gia has the right idea. Man, if someone hooked me up w/ that sexy pillow I'd be all over that.

 
htylu

I'd go with the 3D one. It's hard to get piss stains out of a pillow.
 
UzumakiKunai

@ htylu: Umm wat

Anyways, pillow is hotter but 3D is actually do-able. I want that pillow :'(
 
pintfro

from the picture I'd say the real one. but i always make the best informed decisions in real life :P

so depending on where our cosplaying yoko lives i may have to ask her out to that nice dinner :P
