First prefecture takes over school uniforms from anime (at least it got considered)…
a picture of how it could look
Saitama prefecture (home of the anime Lucky Star) is currently considering a proposal that should make the schoolgirls of the prefecture wearing school uniforms which follow the design of the ones found in the hit anime “Lucky Star”. Here are are more pictures, one from the Uniform and one from Lucky Star.

The “Prefectural Anime Tourism Investigative Commission” came up with the idea behind this and also submitted this proposal. They’re a group of professional in the anime/manga industry which thinks when this is taking place it should definitly help to boost the popularity of Saitama for anime/manga orientated tourism. That would result in even more money for the local economey as they already earn with other stuff in this direction. Also they plan more meetings to find futher ways to improve the anime/manga tourism in the region. The final results can be awaited 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.” Well, i personally wouldnt disagree on that proposal ^.^
The reaction on 2ch (maybe also intresting in this context) are however 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…
Well, we’ll see what comes out in the end.
