Why does every anime character sit next to the window in school?
>>
bump. I must know /a/

It's just become a trope by now, but if I had to guess for reasons why it was done originally, it was probably so they could chow the character looking bored out the window to see other characters, or to make animating the mc in class easier.

>>139064337
Lazy writing that panders to beta otaku who want to self-insert
>>
>>139064337
I remember reading somewhere it was a way for animators cheat their way out of having to draw extra characters.
>>
Less characters to draw.

Also it gives them an opportunity to have a plot event happen outside the window and have the protagonist see it.

Oh that makes sense. But why is the window always on the left side of the classroom?

Easier to see what you are writing when the light source is on your left hand side.
What's that? What about left handed people? They are freaks anyway so who cares.
>>
>>139064337
I've never noticed but it all makes sense now

How could you not know about the god seat? Have you watched more than 3 anime?
>>
>>139064990
Pretty sure that's just how most Japanese schools are made.
>>
Learn about storyboarding and writing for TV. Then you'll find out.

>>139064337
It has to do with convenient angle and lighting for the shows production team.

Japanese high schools all have pretty much the same layout. Have you never wondered why all schools in anime have the same underpass, middle bridge etc.?

>>139064337
It's easiest to draw

Why does every girl have sex at the same tiny pool?

Girls don't have sex, they're pure.

Tomoko did it because she wanted to be the MC of an anime.

Gravity happens because Jesus died for our sins
>>
>>139068155
Which she did
>>
>>139067198
There is gravity because time is literally warped/curved.
Sink that in for a minute.

this is called 窓際 btw

>Why does every anime character sit next to the window in school?

During my school days I tried doing this sitting at that exact spot and I didn't become the MC.

Big windows in every classroom must be nice. Some American classes have no windows at all, pretty much an educational prison.
