Saitama prefecture, home of Lucky Star, is considering a proposal to make the schoolgirls of the prefecture switch to wearing uniforms based on the design from the hit anime.
The proposal, submitted by the “Prefectural Anime Tourism Investigative Commission”, a group compromised of professionals in the manga and anime industry, suggests the current school uniforms used in the prefecture should all be replaced by one based on the anime, in the hopes that this will further boost the thriving anime tourism which has injected countless millions into the local economy.
The group intends further meetings to consider how to improve anime tourism in the region, and will report its final findings in 2010.
The prefecture’s tourism board is non-committal: “We’d like to consider the results of their deliberations for events and so forth.”
Via Nikkei.
The 2ch reaction is mixed:
Saitama has started up!
Saitama is just too amazing…
These will probably encourage sex crimes.
Aren’t these uniforms unsightly? Their colours are designed for anime after all.
The uniforms are ripped off of ToHeart anyway.
The colours are totally unrealistic.
Whichever way you look at it, these uniforms are from an eroge…
Tourism is for people coming into the prefecture. These look a huge nuisance to students.
Let me just go get my little sister transferred to a Saitama school…

*checks saitama again on map to visit*
yes I can see a truck load of otakus foreigners going there, trying to get photographed with the schoolgirls. If talking to a loli is nearly a capital crime, try to imagine that...
MULTIKILL!
Game Over!
Menu > New Game
Oh lord! I can see it now! Hundreds of Otaku getting the death penalty.
"Can I have a photo with you???"
Actually that's the reason they did it. That'll give them ALL the excuse they need to eradicate otaku... Damn... creepy plan...
its a conspiracy to rid the world of otaku!! lol.
Eroge ban => Oktaku roaming the street
Oktaku roaming the street + schoolgirls in luck star sailor => disaster waiting to happen
if(eroge != ban)
{
rapecases = low;
printf("mmm... loli");
}
else
{
while(eroge = ban)
{
rapecases = rapecases^n;
n++;
printf("damn you feminazis!!!\n");
}
}
damn indent your code please and use the 1TBS.
my tabs didn't work, I know what you mean
Surely a trainwreck if he had chosen to write in Python.
while(eroge = ban)
WHOOPS, you fucked it up.
he messed up all over the place
"n" isn't even defined
Since we're getting picky, the if statement could probably be refactored out because the loop itself is conditional. At the very least I'd use a ternary operator, but that could just be the Ruby user in me loving succinctness.
I can accept that n may be initialized at a prior instance, I take issue with the constants because it's convention in most languages to declare them in allcaps.
I assume that eroge is a variable being modified in another thread because the while block isn't offering any escapes. Alternatively, if it's a function call then it would need to be eroge() in most languages.
I also haven't ever seen any language that uses ^ as an exponential operator outside of Matlab (because it's often an XOR operator).
It's sucks all around, learn;
while eroge.banned(): men.reap(loli)
While person.isAlive = true And person.isAnimeFan = true
if person.isAnimeFan.isComputerProgrammer = false then
reality = reality / 0
end if
End While
ffs its "==", not "=" !
while (person.getIsAlive() && person.getIsAnimeFan())
if (!person.getIsAnimeFan().getIsSoftwareEngineer())
reality /= 0;
";"? "=="? Not in the language I used.
*ahem*
Comparison of operators in
VB.NET vs. C# (or whatever you were using):
VB.NET { = = }
C#.NET { == = != }
Holy formatting filters batman! They formatted out all my value signs...
See here [http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/vbnet_csharp_comparison.html] instead then I guess.
Or I'll try it with close-enough special characters (yeah, this will look weird):
VB.NET { = ⊂ ⊃ ⊂= ⊃= ⊂⊃ }
C#.NET { == ⊂ ⊃ ⊂= ⊃= != }
[testing area]
Also, I think you can indent lines if you
copy/paste East Asian language spaces into
the comments here, in case anyone else was
vexed at how they format out our tabs/spaces
at the beginnings of lines on this site.
char *loli; *(long *)(loli = strdup("---- them all!")) = 1701863762;
Ichiro, I wish they sold you individually so I could have an entire staff comprised of Ichiro awesomeness.
There actually is a bug in line 9. "while(eroge = ban)" will always result in 'true', and I'm sure we don't want that. Certainly you meant "while(eroge == band)".
WTF? Where did the d come from?!
i put it there...muahahaha
（╬ಠ益ಠ）ﾉﾞ
Can i have that in C++? Or at least... COBOL?
you forgot to add this:
while feminists.stillExists()
{
++raepCtr;
if eocs.dies() && otaku.wins()
{
break;
}
}
lol java
This makes me want to learn code that isn't VB
If you mean the new generation VB.NET, it gets the job done with less effort, at a minor cost in performance (especially if you're P/Invoking unmanaged DLL's to run the critical stuff on a modern GPGPU). I think that's a virtue, especially when it's a solo project and you don't want to spend an eternity on it.
That's not what the elitists will tell you, but for people who put their emphasis on the content of the project rather than the technique and efficiency it executes with, it's the better solution.
right, and it will stay a one-off solo project as nobody will touch that horrible "code" in VB ever again..
but hey, redeveloping an application "gets the job done with less effort" then maintaining old code :p
Damn! I forgot to inb4 the elitists. I guess you guys win this round.
Also, you can pretty much convert VB.NET code to the other .NET's (C++, C#, etc.) with hardly any difficulty at all (click of a button, usually), if it's the "VB" connotation that your nose turns up at.
And older .NET's convert to the latest modern .NET platform also at the click of a button -_-;
Maybe it's time you stopped torturing yourself to sound hardcore? Masochism does not an elaborate project make.
:p
THIS
IS
not supposed to be another stupid nested comment I suppose...
OVER
FAIL
I would like a Haruhi/Yuki uniform...
Me too, especially if they have those sweater things on during the winter.
This, this, THIS! Me wants! :3
LOL'd @ "Let me just go get my little sister transferred to a Saitama school…"
now that u mention it... they should just have the different schools in different famous anime uniforms? one can have lucky star, another can have haruhi? and maybe others such as too heart, kannagi,clannad and all the other famous animes? now that would be an awesome prefecture id be killing to visit
Oh, this looks good :D
I always thought they look like the uniforms from the To Heart series . . . credit where credit is due . . .
I think they are based on them. During the anime, they do mention To Heart, I don't know if it's in the manga though.
I believe it was also in the manga, nonetheless it's right, they're based on ToHeart uniforms.
"These will probably encourage sex crimes."
This, unfortunately.
Have a little more faith in our Japanese brothers!
We do have faith. We have faith they'll commit(or attempt to) more sex crimes against their Lucky Star uniform-clad sisters.
this is so true lol
Why would it be unfortunately?
Rather, I'd say fortunately.
You are a fucking idiot if you think that would encourage sex crimes.
This will encourage more Lucky Star cosplay AV filmed in Saitama.
+1 Awesome!
oh wait... does that also mean they're going to follow the same skirt length?
hmm...
heh i was hoping the same thing but even if they don't it's still an awesome thing that Saitama's trying to do \o/
Greet! I`ll visit Saitama, if they do this.
BEST. THING. TO. HAPPEN. EVAR.
If it comes true, that is. But if they want to make it more practicable, they need to tone down the colors. The bright red is a typical stylization found in 2D. Dim down the red to more realistic levels and it will be perfect.
I'm totally down with the skirt length though.
Looking at it again, it's actually the cosplay variants that are too bright. Ishikei's rendition is what it needs to look like.
True
:D
I just wonder how many of the girls will dye their hair to match the characters.
That is just insane, it's also oddly intriguing.
The picture is Kagami, not Tsukasa.
The top picture's filename says "tsukasa"... That's Kagami <_<
"These will probably encourage sex crimes."
Even 2chan has idiots.
HOLY SHIT O__O
My dreams of finding a girl called Konata have just sky rocked by 2000%
*shoots off massive display of Fireworks for you*
Too bad, it's only a dream...
Of course, there, you can already have one.

... Aren't you glad?
haha!
I was searching for that pic, thanks for your awesome perfect memory Lens!
I knew I shouldn't have clicked that. Luckily I had my Eclipse glasses on.
Can't unsee...
It BURNS!
I've learned to tilt my eyes away from the monitor to avoid a direct hit when I click on links like these. Especially if the comments following warn of "GAHHH MY EYES SUPER BURNNN" etc.
Actually, it's over 9000!!!
dreams of finding a girl called Konata = 0
0 * 2000% = 0
Don't crush his dreams, if he knew the truth, he would jump out of the window.
dreams of finding a girl called Konata = 0
0 * 2000% = 0
0 + 9001 = it's over 9000!!!
that, or "needs moar loli"
For イチロ イノ Ichiro Ino case, everything needs more loli!
Actually ~
This would be a great idea... I mean ~ its already (known) for that already? ~ yes?
Just add to it... I see no harm in it.
Question is..
Would (other) animé with the settings in actual places also influence that actual place to follow in the steps of Saitama?
I disagree with the colours being unrealistic, the shade of red in that cosplay just looks too red. If they dulled it a bit so the colour is more like the original uniform in the anime, it wouldn't look so weird.
Next year, naked aprons?
>Aren’t these uniforms unsightly? Their colours are designed for anime after all.
>The colours are totally unrealistic.
I must agree... How many can actually look good in it?
Your news story link-through-proxy link is broken.
I like the idea of the Tsukasa head band but the actual uniforms color is not too pleasing to the eye, in comparison to a school uniform
just saying, and also it would attract otakus, don't put the poor girls into danger for profit :O
I wouldn't exactly say it endangers them. A young high school girl shouldn't have that much trouble evading some fat wobbly otaku. They might be more dangerous if they come in great numbers and from all sides OH SHI-
saitama... saitama... hmmmm. yeah... i hear the weather is lovely there in the fall.
Too colorful for real life. Anime is slowly taking over all of Japanese culture.
While it'd be cool, I don't really like the color. But it'd be awesome to do cosplay in just a normal school uniform =w=
Why didn't they base the anime on the real uniforms?
"Let me just go get my little sister transferred to a Saitama school…"
Damn...
oh do want. I am now moving to japan
They are taking the greatest advantage of the moment :3
Awesome!! STill, I can't believe they might make a School uniform based off of an anime. That'd be sorta embarrassing after a while.....especially if they were the really bright colored glossy ones. HRRRMMMMMM, well I'm definitely visiting Saitama now lol...
This is quite possibly the greatest idea Japan has ever done.
No, I don't want to hear how it's sexist or anything like that. Go fuck yourself.
It's on my sex list, if you know what I-
OK I can't say that with a straight face :\
..ahhh... and your avatar's expression says it all...
YAY!!!!!!!
Those would make really, really cute uniforms that would be a hit with students because it's so stylish. (unlike some uniforms) But lol... Rape would definitely go up then. XD
I can see it being fruitful only if the skirts are just as short :)
Now if only schools over here in the UK would allow skirts that short....
Pass the transfer forms for Saitama please!
"Whichever way you look at it, these uniforms are from an eroge..."
QFT
this is going a little tooooooo far, no? i mean attracting the masses (otaku) with local school girls cosplaying is just a little absurd... i guarantee there'll be riot somewhere...
Sounds potentially dangerous.
And yet, I still support it.
awesome. Saitama is the one place I thought I would live in in Japan.
Okay... time to get my little daughter transfered to a Saitama school...
Oh Mein Gott...
The fuku probably would boost tourism to Saitama, especially since the recession is hammering Japan pretty bad...
rapelay comes to life..
Now if only cute seifuku were used in American highschools.
color sux, i do agree on that.
'I hate VB, nobody uses this crap anymore, anyway.
If ToHeartUniform.Enabled = True Then
These_will_probably_encourage_sex_crimes = True

End If
End Sub
What about the male students? Somehow, I doubt THEY'LL be running around wearing moe-moe uniforms. This hardly seems fair. How about making the boys wear the pink sailor uniform too? Then it would actually be a UNIform and not "making one half of the students dress like eroge characters and the other half wear heavy military coats".
"The 2ch reaction is mixed"
hahaha why is this so funny? I just don't know! xD
And I thought it looked simple enough. You could easily confuse other sailor uniforms for these.
No just no.
I've always wondered, who is the more likely fan of something like Lucky Star - a little girl or an older otaku? Seriously, what DO little girls (like 5 to 15) in Japan like? It seems like everything that looks like it's for little girls is really for otaku.
If you think Lucky Star was for little girls, there's a strong possibility you've been watching the wrong show.
I wasn't asking if it is for little girls or not, I was asking if little girls think it's for little girls.
that's just cool. :)
I feel sad knowing this will never happen anywhere else other than Japan.... T_T
Basing a school's uniforms off of Lucky Star's is like basing a school's art curriculum off of High School Musical: in five years, when it's no longer popular and everybody realizes how badly it sucked, it's going to bite them in the ass so, very hard.
The school uniforms are cute and I could see disaster waiting to happen with the recent ban of eroge...
The uniform looks very much like from an eroge lol
"The uniforms are ripped off of ToHeart anyway."
...Holy shit he's right. I knew something looked familiar about Lucky Star even though it was the first time I watched it...
I think this is a bad idea for the locals. Although this may seem cute to outsiders, I definately would not like other men to be looking at my women more often than most usually do.
well, considering the birth rate in Japan is declining and needs help, maybe it's warranted.
The proposal, submitted by the “Prefectural Anime Tourism Investigative Commission”, a group compromised of professional perverts in the manga and anime industry, suggests the current school uniforms used in the prefecture should all be replaced by sexier one's based on the anime, in the hopes that this will further boost the thriving perverted american otaku tourism, which has injected countless millions into the local economy.
fixed
Personally though I'd prefer Bible Black or Love selection.
Definitely on my to-visit list when going to Japan ^.^
Errr, bright pink and childish colour for uniform? Seriously?
Look at the top picture again. If they stay close to the original colors as they are used in the anime, then it won't be nearly as bad as the two cosplay versions shown.
Good idea, until some crazy otaku gaijin kidnapps a few schoolgirls.
These planners need to exercise their powers of foresight.
"Let me just go get my little sister transferred to a Saitama school…"
lol
I'm currently living in Japan, and in my city one of the highschool here have typically same sailor fuku as pictured, jus with sky-blue color.
so... Not really a new thing for me to see..LOL
(BTW yeaay for my first post on this site after months being a silent reader)
"Let me just go get my little sister transferred to a Saitama school…"
whoa
he's extreme...
