The world of anime and manga has plenty of noteworthy costumes, from battle armorto team jerseys and school uniforms galore. But sometimes when the characters are just hanging out with their friends in everyday clothing, or gracing the covers of CDs and promo posters, their wardrobe choices aren’t so fashionable.
Japanese portal site Goo asked its readers which anime series had the un-coolest everyday clothing.
Here’s the top ten:
9. K-ON!
8. Higurashi
6. Bleach
1. Dragon Ball
What do you think? Are there other series with bigger fashion faux pas? Let us know in the forums!
