How come every anime is set in high school? Japanese high schoolers don't even have free time to watch anime when they got so many exams and shit

Nostalgia for university and above audience. and the high schoolers do have time m8. Just very little of it i guess.
It's the animators insecurities expressing themselves
Same reason why many characters have spiky orange hair and humongous purple eyes, insecurity.

I'm disappointed by your lack of faith in me.

Most of the good anime show at late night over there. No way high schoolers would be allowed to stay up late by their parents.

high school is a turning point for a lot of people.
Anime set in high school is a good way for viewers to fantasize about how life would have been if their high school lives had been different.
Because anime is mostly copying from itself.
It is a proven concept just like certain character types.
Most animes have hilariously bad writing and are just derivatives of previous shows.

>implying that's a bad thing
Original comment you robot cuck
Because most anime is aimed at young adults and they all follow the same tropes.
>parents mysteriously absent
>MC and friends forced into social proximity
>MC and friends have to band together to stop or overcome X
That's young adult lit. It has nothing to do with anime.

Because high school is where you change from child to young adult. The growth during those years is fucking huge.

This. I'm getting so fucking sick of anime. Most of it is just insufferable, insipid garbage. I need to find a new hobby.
