Well actually the skirt length depends on the uniform you're wearing. Some schools have long skirts, some have short ones. And wearing custom skirts would be against school regulations.

Remember kids, if you think watching anime to learn about realistic Japanese culture is a good idea, I'm afraid your wrong.

Thank you, it helped a lot.

Btw I've been wondering the same things, and other ones too. Like,
- Do they really have clubs? --Idk I never went to a club in my schools and some didn't have any.
- Do they really use English slangs?
- Is anime and manga extremely popular to them and they talk about it a lot?
- Are the Japanese really huge perverts with all their hentai and anime sex toys?

The only unrealistic part of anime AFAIK is the idea that boys would join cultural clubs. From what I heard those who do that in real life Japan has a high chance of being ostracized and bullied, it's expected that all boys join one of the sports club and joining a non-sports club means there's something wrong with your manliness.



Ostracized and builled are too strong words, but boys who belong to cultural clubs are seen as kinda nerdy guys,especially by girls who belong to sports clubs.

It is like 9 out of 10 male students belong to a sport club and 1 belong to a cultural club,while 7 out of 10 female students belong to a sport club and 3 belong to cultural club.
Sports clubs tend to be more active,like students who belong to a sport club spend much longer time on school club activities than those who belong to a cultural club.
For example, I was in volleyball club when I was junior high school student, and I spent 3 hours a day on week days and 7-8 hours saturdays.
I was in computer club when I was high school student(I'm a nerdy guy),and I practiced 1 or 2 hours a day on week days and had no club activities on weekends.

I'm japanese and sorry for my poor english.

1 Yes, and you have to belong one club in junior high school.not 0 not more than 2.
As for high schools, in some schools you must belong to a club, other schools don't require you to join a club.
2 I don't understand your question
3 Manga is extremely popular like video games in US, anime is popular among kids and otaku(latenight anime).
4 Maybe

By the way it seems you are from canada, if you correct my english, I would really appreciate it.

Your English is very good though.

"I would really appreciate you" sounds a bit weird. "I would really appreciate it" is better.

@umash - your English isn't too bad. My wife is from China, and she has a much more difficult time of it.

That being said, I do know that many Japanese do indeed use English slang when talking, as I noticed that the one time I was in Japan a few years ago.

I assume that when you say clubs, that could include sports teams.

Not sure about toys and such, but I do know that there are as many, if not more Hentai titles (albeit shorter series) than there are anime series. Also, I won't mention exactly which US Agency I've worked for, but I can tell you in the international sex trade, the Japanese are quite possibly the single largest group that patronizes the business.

So where do you live and how much is a ticket to there? :D


LOL - while the skirts are short and the uniforms can be somewhat pretty in anime series, to really see it in extremes, you need to watch some of the hentai titles, like Bible Black, Pisu Hame, Hime-sama Gentei, and Harukoi Otome to name a few.

Sex trade as in exporting sex toys?

Nah these tight fitting clothes and oversized breasts just ruin the beauty of the school uniform. There's nothing more attractive than the slight bulging of the chest area on an A or B cup. Just a little too much and the beauty is ruined.

I'm sorry for being a lolicon.

Um... no. Sex trade as in international prostitution (both legal and illicit). The Japanese, more than any other nationality (by a VERY large margin), avail themselves of the ladies working the oldest trade in human history.

You're not being a lolicon :-). I'm pretty much in agreement with you, at least on the oversized breasts. I like them small, myself, but there are plenty of titles that have that without the girls being like 12 or something.

Hmm how does international prostitution work? You mean something like sex tourism? I thought the Koreans were more famous for that.

most girls do that in high school no matter where you live..

Not in Finland


Sadly it's rare to see girls in short skirts in Finland. But I think that the short skirts isn't the best piece of clothing in here, especially in winter so yeah I don't wonder why girls don't use them.

2 years ago when i when i went to highschool a 8th grade girl and a 9th grade girl were suspended for giving/receiving a blow job while being filmed by their friends. and no i didnt make that up some people are that stupid. a teacher walked in to the bathroom and caught them.

Not gonna lie, that second hair style is pretty cool.

I found the first one to be cool also

I concur. But they would be cooler with longer hair. Shoulder length or something.
