what the fuck is with japan and school? like everything should be about school. why are they so obsessed in school?
Because their lives are horrible and depressing outside of it....
>>134751382
Just like American is obsessed with Hamburger
>>134751382
If you focused on your academics more you wouldn't need to kill yourself
>>134751382
In no other stage of life you get so much interaction with the opposite sex in a daily basis.
>>134752006
For what porpose?
>>134751382
Because life ends after school for the nipponese. They work from sunrise to sunset, 6 days a week, in soul-crushingly tedious office jobs. If they are lucky, they are married and see their wife for an hour or two a night before they go to bed. If they aren't, they come home to an empty apartment the size of an American's living room, and spend a few hours playing video games, shitposting on 2ch, and masturbating furiously to dating sims before crying themselves to sleep.
You'd have nostalgia for school too.
>>134751382
Highschool is the end of line for Nips
>>134751382
Escapism. And they have a fixation on youth and beauty.
>>134752049
>You'd have nostalgia for school too.
You described my life, except that my appartment is bigger and I'm not nostalgic for school, it was more or less the worst time in my life. If anything I'm nostalgic for summer break and the holidays.
The hamsterwheel is universal.
>>134752049
Why the hell nips obligated to undesirable dead-end work jobs anyway? Simply find any dream job you want or go broke but slow & steady built your own dream job.
Remember : You are responsible for your own happiness.

>>134751382

At least find a job that make you comfortable & feel like a second home.
Imagine you watched a bunch of american cartoons then asked this question about America. "Why are Americans so obsessed with school? It's what almost all their cartoons are about."
>But
But nothing. A large portion of cartoons have school settings or school aged characters. Because that's the audience AND because it's generally relatable to anyone as a setting anyway.
Same with anime.
And yet, people respond with the usual "BECAUSE MUH JAPANESE CULTURE OF SOUL CRUSHING HARD WORK CLEARLY THEY USE SCHOOL AS A COPING MECHANISM" anyway
they work too hard when they became an adult, if you observe carefully when you tour japan, you either see teens that have a bit spirit,lifeless salary man are most common the city and if you got to the countryside, you can encounter, gajiin hating nips and old elderly people that constantly nostalgias about their school life and childhood.
>He's not obsessed with school
>>134752424
lmao I bet you were one of those losers who took notes in class
>>134752469
american?
>>134751382
Most anime is targeted at teenagers in school age. It's that easy.
>>134752276
It's not an interesting life or death situation when a yandere is going to kill any girl who comes near you?
>>134751495
Exactly this.
As I understand it, the way jobs in Japan are done, they generally hire a bunch of people all fromthe same college, and if you don't get hired then, you're really not getting a good job. This is why those tests at the end of high school determine the rest of their life.
You can do good up until then, but once you're in college, you're either placed as a gear in the machinery of suffering, to be removed and moved around at the operator's whims, or you're even WORSE OFF.
Sound horrific? Now you understand why suicide is so popular there. The only way they CAN exert control over their life is ending it.

Japanese movies (that are not anime) are so much better than anime because they don't revolve around school.
Even movies that DO take place in schools are better than anime because anime is fucking shit
>>134751382
Easy to group characters together.
Nostalgia.
Female male interaction is more natural, which is fucking saying something given most highschool anime.
It's cheap to animate if characters are in uniforms mostof the time.
>>134752228
Because they are all scary (hospitals because of the bill you get after a visit). Murricans like to be scared.
>>134752140
>Simply find any dream job
If all Nips did that and didn't succeed. The suicide rate will be astronomical then it already is.
They rather walk the safest and recognizable path then venture to an uncharted territory and form their own path.
>>134752949
Try the same as OP in >>134752886's pic with a katana.
All the reasons posted are bullshit. The high school setting is just so common now that it became the general setting and foundation of every story. You can do a story without problem that doesn't have any kind of school involved in japan.
Basically everyone went to school, so they have a point to compare, and it is a relatively relaxed enviroment. Other settings have difficulties that would get in the way of the story if they try to keep it real.
>>134753124
I think you just described literally everyone on /a/.
May as well ask why they use 90% of the same tropes in every anime and manga.
>>134751382
It's called aiming at a target audience.
Basic of the basics of any product made.
What do you think sells better for the main manga/anime target?
A school setting with teenagers experiencing stuff or a corporation setting of Mr. Anonji on his daily work routine having to deal with asshole at his workplace?
>>134751382
It's the demographic most manga are aimed at.
>>134753639

>>134752049
If nips have to spend all this time at work, then how did they find time to watch anime?
Or is anime something for NEETs only?
>>134752140
>Why the hell nips obligated to undesirable dead-end work jobs anyway?
It's considered selfish, irresponsible and immature not to.
>>134752627
A relatively large number of Japanese women get married to gaijins. I know two of them personally.
>>134752298
I remember reading about a job were you only needed to lift a bridge when a ship comes by. Thing is it was in a place that hasn't seen ships in many years, so you only sit there for a couple of hours, shitpost on /a/ and go home so çyou can shitpost some more.
>>134753855
Yup, he idea of not being expected to stay at home is enticing to some women that feel even if they did work while marriedt a Japanese man there'd still be that expectation.
>>134751382
Character development is an important part of making a story not terrible.
For many people, regardless of culture, a large amount of character development happens in puberty and early adulthood. You're changing biologically at a rapid rate, much faster than any other point in life save the first year or two of existence outside the womb. You're literally beginning to be able to think and feel in ways that didn't exist for you before, and your brain is re-wiring yourself to interpret past memories with that lens, giving you more insight into the childhood you had. It could even re-write them so you remember them as though you had these concepts the whole time, which will lead to the inevitable confusion of wondering why you did the stupid shit you did beforehand despite "knowing" better. Your personality is more mutable, shaped by what happens to and around you, and can change dramatically because of a single emotional episode if the event is significant enough.
Turns out, basically everyone in the developed world spends most of these years either in high school, or preparing to enter high school, or shortly after leaving high school. Almost can relate to it, either as something they anticipate, are experiencing, or have experienced. Not everyone can relate to the office, the factory, the hobby shop, or any of the other thousand places a modern setting could mostly take place in. So if you want to try your hand at character development and relatable experiences, this is prime turf.
>>134752490
This.

>Mr. Anonji on his daily work routine having to deal with assholes at his workplace?

Because everything beyond high school age is too old for the nips.
Is there any anime about a salary man?
>>134754130
I remember when Adam Sandler was funny.
>>134754163
Yeah, but I can't remember the name.
>>134752140
because "Muh Bushido"
No, seriously. The "Samurai Spirit" is now used as a way to brainwash people into thinking that working for a company is analogous to serving a lord and working to death for them is a great honor. A Samurai is "One who serves", only that now instead of serving in Combat they serve with TPS reports.
>>134754130
There isn't even a pike exit in Worcester.
>>134754187
I remember when Eddie Murphy was funny. Hollywood sure can change a nigga.
>>134753855
What about the men? don't tell me they pussied out on this.
>>134754285
Japanese men are having a habit of not getting married. It's a pretty big issue there.
>why does a medium targeted at twelve to early twenty somethings often center around the part of their lives they will care about the most?
Why is water wet, the sky blue, Judas rat to romans as Jesus slept, etc etc
>>134751382
>>134754163
Try The Travelling Salesman
>>134754305
Japanese men tend to expect certain things from women, and non-Japanese women are rarely willing to do those things.
>>134754402
To be fair, I wouldn't sleep with a Japanese man either.
>>134754305
Then they should fucking go out of that shithole.
If they don't have the desire to marry, then you get the freedom to find a comfortable job that not mentally exhausting and something that they enjoy to work on it.
When your joy & happiness increased, so will your libido. It will be easier to find a partner-for-life with the same goal.
they love girl wearing school uniform
fuck other bitches who arent using school uniform
fucking impure piece of shit
>>134752550
But /a/ told me japan was animeland! The best country in the world!
>>134754402
Do they know the meaning of the word "understanding" and "respect to each other"?
Men do not have an obligation to told women what they should do, but women shouldn't abuse their freedom either.
No wonder japanese marriages is not healthy. Both genders are too selfish.

If only there were a board just for discussing Japan and Japanese culture.
Nips are screaming that their population is decreasing drastically, and not realizing that the problem that the rest of the population are being tortured for being put in vicious endless cycle of dead-end and delusional jobs, which cause them to end their agony and tormented life.
Until they open their eyes, enjoy your extinction in few more years you faggot nips.

Most American cartoons are aimed at school children. What's really weird about Japan is that otaku shows, targeted at the same age demographic that watches police and hospital dramas in the U.S. or animated shows such as a Archer, Futurama, and Family Guy, are also set in high school.
But even with cartoons targeted at children this isn't really the case. The characters that kids in the U.S. watch, in the American equivalent of battle shonen, are Superman, Batman, the X-Men, and the Avengers.
>>134754718
I don't know why they're complaining about that anyway, they have tons of people already.
>>134754652
You're retarded. I'm simply telling you nips can enjoy a story without school just as well and it was proven dozens of time. Nips are simply unoriginal, that's why the school setting is overused.
>>134754751
It sells.
>>134754718
They will just stabilize at 40M or so
Anime/LNs/VNs are done for though
>>134752298
This. It's not a dream if you are working in first place.
>>134754718
Then they are no different than Chink factory workers, only the difference that is they have "higher class"
>Mostb anime and manga have kids, teenagers and perverts as their demographic target
>Hurr Durr why is all about school
>>134754787
The most popular manga of all time don't use a school setting. They could be original but they're just lazy and playing it safe.
>>134754742
Tons of retired old people.
>>134754737
It's almost as if the age group isn't the only defining factor of the demographic and that anime is an incredibly niche industry that doesn't come close to reflecting the average japanese individual at all
>The characters that kids in the U.S. watch, in the American equivalent of battle shonen, are Superman, Batman, the X-Men, and the Avengers.
Funny story considering none of those are on TV anymore, more kids watch shit like Pokemon in either country, and even X-Men is about a bunch of kids at a special school
>>134754847
They'll die eventually so it's OK.
I'm not going back to school, you can't make me
>>134754883
Of course not, Americans only go back to school to shoot them up
What will go extinct first? The nips or the whales?
>>134754876
Good. The more they die, the more easier the young ones to change the unhealthy norm that Japan have been conformed for many years.
>>134754833
> The most popular manga of all time don't use a school setting
So is anime of this manga, you mongol. You prove nothing.
>>134754921
even whales have more libido & sex drive than nips.

It's possible to have a dream job if you're working in a field that you enjoy. I get the idea that most scientists and artists actually enjoy their jobs, and were intrinsically motivated to go into them. Firefighters report a very high level of job satisfaction. A character operating within any of these fields would be in a far more interesting setting than a high school. You need to add supernatural elements and implausible drama just to make that setting into something other than a borefest. I can only imagine how fucking interesting the before mentioned settings would be if you fluffed them up to that extent.
>>134754959
Also most top selling manga aren't about school. For all time, there are very few in the top. For 2015, there are like, what, 5? out of 30
>>134755030
In anime everyone 14-30 looks the same though.
>>134754876
It's obviously not ok, unless ok means crashing the economy with no survivors.
>Life expectancy
>83 years
Which means they won't be dying anytime soon. And by the time they're dead more people will have retired.
>Median age
>46
Half their population is older than 46.
>me /a/ has this hivemind mental image of Japan that's completely out of whack and everybody genuinely thinks it's a mega shithole where everybody literally works themselves to death or kills themselves and the remainder is too depressed to procreate
This shit meme needs to die. It's nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to the weeaboo fantasy that goes way to far in the other direction.
I think it's not school but teenagers in general who are the most popular subject. You can use teenagers in different settings and the manga and anime are still very popular. School is just the thing where teenagers genrally go to.
>>134754959
>most popular anime in the world

>>134755158
It's true in all the major cities though.

>>134751382
Because it's an easy way world build so they can spend more time on the interesting bits.
Think about all the time you've spent in school. You already know so much about it that they don't need to establish certain conventions. Plus, it's a nice fall back when nothing really is happening with the plot.

>>134755657
Anime porn is pretty much dead anyways
>>134755716
I would watch it more if they used guys with big cocks and women that can give a good blowjob and would look like they enjoy it instead look like they're being raped.
>>134755777
Rape is my fetish so it isn't a problem.
The fact most are doing it because they have no other choice just makes my dick even harder.
>>134755560
It's also not as easy to get away with stuff like, say,
>we were in Brooklyn and niggers happened
or
>we were in the south and conehead ghosts happened
since NEETs don't give a fuck about different regions in Japan, but they went to school, so a school anywhere with "and then X happened" is easy to explain to any socially inept loser
[this is also why there are so many tourism committees jumping on the "fotm anime advertising the town/city of etc" train ever since Lucky Star led to people who only spend their money on figs and shit paying visits to the IRL locations it's based on, but that's a point for another thread]
>>134755777
Looking like they are being raped is the japanese way to having sex
Yes they do it in real life too, yes is fucking disgusting and off putting
>>134755821
If rape is your fetish how can you be satisfied by nips being fucked by micro cocks in most JAVs?
>>134755830
But that's if you only watch moeshit
Moeshit is killing anime slowly and cutely
>>134755875
I don't watch JAVs because it's censored shit.
The few I've seen were fine though, dicks were of normal size.
>>134755777
>look like they enjoy it instead look like they're being raped.
no.. let's leave that part as it is
>>134755865
How does this even work? I saw porn of japanese that were raised in america and they were fucking like any other porn actor.
>>134755881
Moeshit already killed anime though. Even good anime like OPM and Perfect Insider can't save it now.
>>134755917
>that were raised in america
Well there you go then. Its cultural.In some ways japan is more puritan than the US, but only while in public, its accepted to be a total pervert in your private life.
They are the ultimate hypocrites.
>>134755777
I wouldn't mind JAV if the average actresses actually lowered their voices from constant high pitched squealing and not every video was "how many sex toys can we cram in this pussy without actually making the girl cum"
I'm sure there are some non-retarded directors but there's like only one way you get that shit to sound erotic and it's not the way they do it in like ninety percent of jap porn
>>134751382
BECAUSE ANIME IS FOR FUCKING CHILDREN.
>>134751382

I hate sex toys too. Surprisingly they are rarely used in doujins.
>>134756006
Fuck off pedo
>>134754737
>>134751382
My guess is while American shows that target children have high fantasy, they are filled with morality and what do to as a child/adult.
The Japanese anime show a realistic school scenario where justice is a lie and bullies/fights/romance dominates. Its more realistic isn't it?
American children are protected from realistic views until they are old enough, whereas Japanese children are told stories about love/conflict in school setting.
>>134756331
And then they kill themselves. Why expose kids to how shit the world is so soon? And in such hamfisted ways too
>>134756237
Pedos fucking is how children get fucked in the first place, you twit.
>>134751382
Because in Japan, life ends after high school.
I THOUGHT /A/ KNEW THIS ALREADY
>>134756372
Those suicide are mostly due to high stress work environment and high stress academic placement test. Nothing to do with anime.
