Wow those are beautiful bentos.. Though I don't think I would eat them, they are to pretty to eat.
Wish I was that good at making bentos, but sadly seeing we don't have any bento material where I live, I just have to be creative with things.

it's funny though, almost all of those pics have landed on the site at one time or another, individually. I say because the title included "my girlfriend made these" people were like HOLY SHIT, CUTE

I understand you're trying to tie in current events, for what ever reason.
But that idea is totally misleading and sensationalizing.
Sure, there have been some cases http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolicon#Legal_issues_elsewhere but it's no where that huge, and no need to disrupt threads like this.
Vent your anger elsewhere.

Yes, i already knew the relevance and have read the story.
Sadly a forum will always be mislead as people in general are mislead so there's not much use trying to change things. I would worry if someone formed all their opinions from a forum...

Anyway!
I don't think i could put all that effort in to make a bento just for it to be eaten. Surely it would have gone cold by the time you had completely decorated it??

not all bentos need to be warm.
also, alot of people use microwaves to heat up their food. It works quite well for bentos, i must say.

of course it doesn't, but wouldn't the world (or more specifically, this forum) be such a boring place if we kept language simple, without any over-dramatization? xD
and who cares for the community, a joke is something personal.

Most sushi or onigiri is cold, and large parts of bentos can be made up of just that : P
microwaving isn't too bad. i think this is due to the fact that allt he small assortiments in a lunch box can be easily warmed. Sometimes though, certain parts become too hot and you burn your tongue >.>

but how do you keep your hot compartments.. hot?
if you truly wait for lunch then it'll be cold : P
the lunchboxes previously posted were probably cold lunchboxes, as i doubt you could keep that art warm for long time.

well, the because people can't keep things warm, they make cold lunchboxes, so no egg xD (although eggrolls/omelettes are still pretty good cold)

Well... Some weeks ago I had the cool idea of buying a bento box and taking it with lunch. Then my mother yelled at me and said that only people that could not buy their lunches would bring them with them and that she forbid me of being so uncool.

Since then I despise bento and laugh at my 3 friends that bought their boxes and seem to be starving (they are impressively small). Muahaha.

It does not matter how impressive it is, what matters is that it feeds you well.

Every one of those are really cool. I wonder how long they took to make.

It also depends what you put in it. Its nothing different than a boxed lunch in any other container. Person A could be completely filled while person B could starve. My little box can fit one large peice of chicken and a couple origiri's, thats enough for me for lunch. Then there are times where Iget lazy and I just stuff rice in there. Thats when I hit up the Cafe for lunch ;)

anyway, for all those eat bentos:

Rule # 1: Eating bentos outside of Asia is uncool and enforces your otakuness, this rule is overriden if you're Japanese or Korean.

try blowing up the Tate. Make sure it isn't attributed to Al-Qaeda though.

..can't stop myself from derailing this..

"on-topic"..
can anyone guess how long it would take to make those bentos?
the people probably spent at least 10 times as long making these bentos compared to eating them.
