Well, look at the outfits the girls wear throughout the game. I doubt that
many of those were actually used back in the real time period when ST takes
place. Check out the swimsuits Sakura and Orihime wear in ST2! I bet girls
back then could've gotten arrested for wearing something like that. :)
Let's remember this is an 'alternate reality' Tokyo. Technology is much
more advanced (and relies a helluva lot more on steam ^_-).
Even the great Will Shakespeare included anachronisms in his plays. They
were added for effect. Remember the clock in Julius Caesar?^_^
No doubt Orihime's use of 'Nippon' is used for the same effect. It
certainly helps define her character, doesn't it?
