There are a trillion and one anime set in high school. So why are there so few anime set in college? The only one I know of is pic related. I'm not asking for recs, I genuinely want to know why this setting is so rare. Don't japs go to college?
>>284772653>The only one I know of is pic related.Newfag, please. Watch more anime.
>>284772653Kids in college have a lot more sex than in high school and sex is very icky.
>>284772653Because college is just a shittier highschool, they even have the same events.
>>284772740I have been here since 2011. I may be slightly drunk but off the top of my head the Tatami Galaxy is the only college setting I can think of.
>>284772653>Don't japs go to college?They do but it's different. Also if you actually understood Japan you'd know their lives right after highschool become actual dogshit most of the time. Hence the focus on highschool, since it's the last time they're even close to free and excited to be alive.
>>284772653Pic is a better college and looper anime.
>>284772798Pathetic
>>284772901It's been a while since I watched S;G, but wasn't it post-college?
>>284772901Even if they're college students, it's not college setting by a long shot.
>>284772936Nope, they're college students.
>>284772901i don't think this one was college but would it matter when the characters behave like middle schoolers?
First one that comes to mind is HenZemi, have fun.
>>284772653Not so thinly veiled rec thread but I don't care.Lucifer and the Biscuit HammerGolden Time Nodame CantabileRun with the Wind I like the setting but I don't think there's often a reason not to have them be either high school students or working adults.
>>284772653Pretty sure this was set in college
>>284772653I'm seeing more college stuffs lately desu, especially romcom.Picrel is on Shonen Jump so it seems Jap publishers are noticing the demographic shift.
>>284772653All of them go to college.
>>284772653Watch Dekin no Mogura.
Grand blue, the drinking manga.
The short answer is that many series are marketed to teenagers in school or young adults who can still enjoy those series. Also japs/jap otaku have no issue with wanting to fuck teenagers in uniform and there's a bit of a high school fixation that doesn't exist for college.
>>284773367didnt some retards have a melty on this manga, because the author is a cuck
>>284772653>>284772798>No college animeNewfags.
>>284772653Story begins on university campus and circles back after semester breaks
Isn't Grand Blue just high school romcom bullshit in college setting (ie added scenes of nude men drinking)
>>284773844Yes but also fucking hilarious.
>>284772653A classic.
>>284772653The entire second season takes place at the university, with the main characters as college students spending almost all their time at the university.The entire second season takes place at the university, with the main characters as college students spending almost all their time at the university.Interestingly, it has nothing to do with Christmas, even though that girl spends every episode dressed up as Santa.
The last bit of K-On is at College.
>>284773179It was depressing the club broke up and everyone had to move on.
Uzaki-chan was in college and the MC was literallyme when I was in college so it was good.
>>284772901Mediocre compared to Tatami
>>284772653College students aren’t as cute as high schoolers.
>>284772653
>>284775982
>>284775966Wrong
High school life is a shared experience for many Japanese people. While college life varies depending on university, college and the subject studied, often requiring explanation.
Tada banri
Because "high school age" stories are always set in high school. "College age" stories are split between college settings and 'young adult entering the workforce' stories (or failing to, in the case of stuff like Welcome to the NHK).
>>284772653middle/High school is universal experience , College isnt.That fact alone alienates lots of potential viewers
>>284778044In addition, manga artists typically went to art schools of some kind, which is a fairly different experience from "generic college". Everyone went to high school and know what that was like.
>>284772740fpbpOP is a fag, there's like a hundred college anime, hell /a/ just watched 2 of them for Christmas
I hated college almost as much as high school. The wagie world is the place to be.
>>284772653>So why are there so few anime set in college?Because of nip concept of "seishun" (idolization of youth). In college age people are generally seen as out of that "seishun" period so you can't really tap into that collective autismo.
>>284772988>the characters behave like middle schoolersAll of them are way too smart to be middle schoolers.
>>284772653I kind of agree with you, OP, but you're still a newfag
>>284772798I'm embarassed for you anon
>>284774600Just like in real life
>>284775897This. S;G is shallow as a puddle, nothing more than a cheap thriller ride.
there are a lot of college series, but they rarely seem to take place at the college itself
