Why is high school such a popular setting for a lot of anime?
Would you rather watch corporate drones doing drone things?

Because anime is for kids, and adults who wish they were still kids.
>>143091954
That would be a nice change.
>>143091926
Because anime is targeted towards people that are in school or recently finished it.

Why can't we get a good college setting or maybe like a foreign exchange college setting.
>>143092098
>what is golden time
>>143092098
Nobody wants to see filthy gaijins corrupting Japan.
>>143091954
Middle Manager Tonegawa (at least as far as the translated chapters go) was great.
>>143091954
put sex in it along with a good plot and you're good to go.
>>143092098
College setting = Honey and Clover
Foreign Exchange College setting? Don't think you want an anime about gaijin hunters and yellow fever weeaboos anon. Shit would get ugly.

It's just tradition. High school was initially focused for decades because the target audience was children and teens. That still explains shounen manga like Nisekoi, but even though stuff like light novels and seinen manga go for an older market they often keep the same focus. That's just due to tradition. It's what they grew up reading so it's what they want to write, even if the target audience isn't the same.
It's not "the last time you had freedom" in Japan, since university is easier there than high school once you actually make it in.

Honey and Clover didn't feel that much different from anime with high schools.
>>143092347
Japanese Universities, the last bastion of freedom before being fucked by 年功序列

>there will never be a non-hentai anime that has lots of office cougars

Because your life pretty much ends after High School in Japan.
>>143092644
>not even knowing the anime in the OP
>>143091926
It's the target market their trying to appeal too
>>143091954
>>143092689
that's not enough
>>143092644
Yet it have a young salaryman MC and it's 10/10.
>>143091959
The only correct answer
>>143092098
Tatami Galaxy
>>143091926
it's the place where a boy falls in love with a girl. . .
>>143091926
Easily relatable.
>>143092347
University life is largely indistinguishable from working life, though. And half of the audience won't have attended one.

Genshiken
Kaicho Ouji
>married with a kid
>shitty job
regardless of the story I loved the setting and the based OP.
>>143094781
Shit I messed up:
Kachou Ouji aka Legend of Black Heaven
>>143091954
Yes, without a doubt.
>>143092239
>hentai will never be that good again
>>143091926
Because it gives writers an excuse for having every main character in the same place every day
>>143092674
>becoming a slave of society
>>143097303
okay that's actually a pretty good point
Characters have an excuse to meet constantly. You're able to reuse backgrounds constantly. You have to design like two outfits, tops, due to uniforms.
