Lucky Star - Episode 14 Discussion / Poll

Sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. It's hard for me to see uniforms in the same light because, well, I have a friend born and raised in Japan who obtained a different school's uniform from a friend and loves to dress up as a schoolgirl at Halloween parties (she had already given her uniforms away when she was younger which explains why she couldn't dress up in her own... even in her thirties she can still pass for a high school girl).

I also have Korean cousins who went to pretty good private schools who routinely threw their uniforms on the floor everyday when they got home and changed.

So my understanding is that while the uniforms are sacred to the schools, when it comes to the students, it's case-by-case, depends on the student.

Yup, that's why I say most. Maybe not even most nowdays... kids today...
What usually happen is the moment they graduate they want to toss their uniform, but after they've entered society they all start to miss their uniforms... some even keep them to cosplay for their husbands, but that's another topic altogether.

Japanese childhood is wonderful, except for the exams. Japanese adulthood is harsh, demeaning, and often demoralizing. Many adults have found memories of their school years and cherish their old unis for that reason. There's a reason why the fictional creations from Japan are so good and mesmerizing... There is a strong need for them in the society.
