It took me THIS long to realize it? Wow Jared. -___-
ANYWAYS, I finished another fantastic anime the other day and it finally came to my head. A question that haunts almost EVERY single anime and it really makes me wonder why they do it so damn often.
Why are SO many anime in schools!?
And now, rant time. :)
SERIOUSLY, WHY OF ALL THE PLACES YOU COULD GO TO WOULD YOU PICK A CLASSROOM TO SHOW YOUR ANIME IN!?
JUST THINK OF ALL THE POSSIBILITIES YOU COULD CHOOSE FOR A LOCATION!
HELL! UNDERGROUND! IN SPACE!

A FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL! ^____^
NO! NO!
I mean, it doesn't really mess up the story or anything, but WHY IS IT ALWAYS ALWAYS IN A SCHOOL OF SOME SORT!?
I suppose it's one of those questions we'll never have the answer to. Oh well.
I have a problem with this because not ONLY does it throw out 40% of the anime's originality, but it also takes away a lot of the anime's.... How do I say this, sense of wonder!
Media like video games and anime EXIST to make us feel like we're in another world, a place that you can't be in on Earth and it makes the viewer more interested in not only the anime's lore, but it boosts the overall enjoyment!
BUT WHEN YOU THROW IN SOMETHING AS BORING AS A SCHOOL IN WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AN EPIC ADVENTURE THAT'S ENTIRELY FICTIONAL, it SHREDS a lot of the fun.
I'm not going to lie, it doesn't bother me as much as you might think, but at this point in time it's downright cliche. And don't get me wrong, we've gotten COUNTLESS masterpieces from the whole "High School" trend.
From Clannad to Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple to School Rumble, I couldn't be MORE GLAD that this trend exists.
But I think we should have more anime NOT in a school. And that's all I'll say for now.
