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…

The fuku probably would boost tourism to Saitama, especially since the recession is hammering Japan pretty bad...
Oh Mein Gott...
Okay... time to get my little daughter transfered to a Saitama school...
"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.
color sux, i do agree on that.
Now if only cute seifuku were used in American highschools.
awesome. Saitama is the one place I thought I would live in in Japan.
YAY!!!!!!!
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...
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...
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!
Sounds potentially dangerous.
And yet, I still support it.
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...
"Whichever way you look at it, these uniforms are from an eroge..."
QFT
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.
Good idea, until some crazy otaku gaijin kidnapps a few schoolgirls.
These planners need to exercise their powers of foresight.
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.
Definitely on my to-visit list when going to Japan ^.^
"Let me just go get my little sister transferred to a Saitama school…"
lol
These guys are pretty awesome, milking off all the otaku tourism like that
Those uniform colors should REALLY be a bit more matte colored, perhaps a bit faded and earth toned, than bright to match the cartoon version.
THIS IS AWESOME
I'M ON FIRE WOOTS
Ha~~~~~ the pic's great, I really hope this plan would succeed..
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...
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.
I feel sad knowing this will never happen anywhere else other than Japan.... T_T
that's just cool. :)
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 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...
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 picture is Kagami, not Tsukasa.
That is just insane, it's also oddly intriguing.
I just wonder how many of the girls will dye their hair to match the characters.
:D
The top picture's filename says "tsukasa"... That's Kagami <_<
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?
"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...
Actually, it's over 9000!!!
Of course, there, you can already have one.

... Aren't you glad?
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.
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.
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.
For イチロ イノ Ichiro Ino case, everything needs more loli!
that, or "needs moar loli"
dreams of finding a girl called Konata = 0
0 * 2000% = 0
0 + 9001 = it's over 9000!!!
