Iā€™m positive I know 10 of those. Which is a lot more than I expected. Two more Iā€™m not sure of (Maria-sama ga miteru and Vampire Knight).

WHat I tried to do was to recall an anime/manga/game and find the matching uniform. Its probably the longer way but I managed to figure out 6. Maybe a couple more.

Nice list, must have been quite an effort to come up with the designs.

It feels kind of a copout to put the name of the school under every image. I can say, for instance, that I recognise the bottom left of uniform3.jpg but how do you know I didnā€™t just put ??? into Google to find out? =P The point is, even if I donā€™t recall the uniform immediately, if itā€™s an eroge Iā€™ve played and enjoyed I probably remember the name of the school =P (unless it only rarely gets mentioned) and just by being there in the image itā€™s probably going to stir my memory and make me realise ā€˜ah yes, they did have a uniform like thatā€™. Plus thereā€™s a couple, like ???, where the name of the SCHOOL is the name of the MANGA that the school is set in. Makes it a tad easy! (okay, okay, I googled it, but only to see if it was an eroge that was daring enough to have the characters in a school called ???.)

I was still able to recognise several of these, even some that werenā€™t from eroge (like the Angel Beats! uniforms) although it was the really distinctive ones (like Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru and Sore wa Maichiru Sakura no You ni) that I found the easiest.

I was merely able to find 14ā€¦ >_>

I got 45 of them right on the first try: though most of them were anime and not galge. :oops: Pretty much, only the girl uniforms were recognizable to meā€¦ surprised at how little I pay attention to the male outfits. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is true, but theyā€™re on there because so many anime/game/manga borrow their uniform designs from each other, so itā€™s to help make the correct distinction. I got Detective Conan and Ouran Host Club mixed up, because I tried avoiding the academy name (considered it a cheat too). :x Plus anyone could just do a Google search on ā€œanime school uniformsā€ and find the answers by others whoā€™ve done these sheets, or just look at the various image results.

Itā€™s on an honor system. :wink:

ā€¦for each set, these are the proposed answer keys. Feel free to make corrections and/or additions. Lack of a ā€œcheat sheetā€ High School identifier for SET #4 makes it hard for people to identify two of them (11 & 16), so that answer key is incomplete. :frowning:

Heh I wondered about that one. What struck me is how similar the uniform is to ONEā€™s- ONE just doesnā€™t have the nice cuffs or the badge/pocket/whatever. I guess the story itself also had some major similarities to ONE so it makes some level of sense.
Set #4 11 is some ranobe turned manga turned anime while 16 is a PS2 otome game.

Iā€™ll admit, I just glanced through the pictures, but I sure expected to get more than 4, lol.

And to think of the money Iā€™ve spent on anime/manga/eroge over the years, Iā€™m a sad panda.

Yeah, I didnā€™t recognize any of those, though I played most of the eroge theyā€™re from. Guess I donā€™t pay attention to uniforms (which may or may not be a good thing).

I got the Clannad one but that was itā€¦

But going through the list, you get a lot ofā€¦ ā€œoh yeah!ā€ revelations on the stuff Iā€™ve seen.

This sort of puts the fact that so many of these (anime, manga, eroge, etc) take place in high schools into stark perspective, donā€™t it. And some of those outfits are pretty rediculous when compared to others. But I wonder if thereā€™s anything comparable for military/SF uniforms in anime.

I know six of them just by a glance the others I donā€™t. Not sure how I feel about that.
