| I think i still could enjoy watching it even though i'm passing 24 this year but it's not as relatable as it's used to. How about you? |
 |
| im not that old yet, but i still enjoy it. I do think my interest in school anime has definitely decreased though |
| I am 27 to 28 this year and I enjoy watching it now more than I ever had. Experience not only gets you used to clichés and tropes, it also helps expand the ways you can enjoy, analyze and relate to anime and this one is no exception. |

| i still enjoyed it, youth high school life is a beautiful thing to be witness, no matter how unrealistic japan school life depicted in anime, and how much different it is with my country school system. there are some things that seems relatable though, like supplementary class, school trip, school festival when every class create something, we used to create a short movie and create a mini theater. junior confessing to senior (but tbh i’d never seen one when the girl is the one who confess), verbal/non verbal bullying, and when a student is really close with the teacher, i was once very close with this one female english teacher, so sometimes i can relate, well there’s a ton of thing i can relate, but hey, i can only reminiscing it. well, im a universities student now, too bad. |
 |
| I'm 25 to 26 this year and I still enjoy it a lot, specially when it is really cute (like Slow Start) |
 . |
| Yeah , two of my five favs are school anime and I'm 22 , dunno if I'll enjoy them when I'm in my 30s though. |
| if it's comedy in school theme like D-Frag or Sket Dance i have no problem if it's comedy and friendship shit like little busters and first eps of Rewrite then no problem either if it's romance with school theme it's a huge turnoff |

| I pretty much started watching anime set in school after I graduated and I think that I will continue to do so. School was a segment of my life I really liked and I gladly get nostalgic about it. But that's not my main motivation, shows like Toradora!,K-On!,Kimi ni Todoke and many more are just fantastic. |

| I don't consider the place an anime is set in a determining factor in whether or not I'll be able to enjoy it so not really. There's a ton other variables to account for. |
 |
| It depends. I have a specific taste when it comes to school anime when I get even older cause some of them are getting a bit too boring the more I grew up. But I still really enjoy them~ |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| i'm 22, and I love it. It's usually my favorite enviroment. It gives me some kind of nostalgia and at the same time I wish that my school life was interesting/good that way. |
| school anime with romance as main focus - no, but I've never really liked them to be honest school comedy/slice of life - yeah why not, they're fun when I need some change of pace (I'm 20+ too) |
 |
| some school anime are more graduate-friendly than others.... |
 |
| Turning 22 this year. Probably? I kind of avoid certain genres within school settings, but overall I don't really mind if it's executed well. Although I prefer manga as the medium is more diverse in setting and stories. You won't find something like Kokou no Hito or REAL in anime. |
| im 21 and For me personally i just watch it because it allows for more character development some of the time but can get a little repetitive just watching school anime's over and over not saying they are boring but its more nostalgia than anything else but i do like anime's that focus around clubs like in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Love live series and such |

| It makes me enjoy non-existent opportunities such as copulation with your classmates, schoolmates, and teachers. |
| Going to be 34 this year and I still enjoy anime regardless of setting. School anime can be good, Just Because reminded me of exams, graduation, university acceptance tests although it was portrayed in a different way as it is done in my country. Hischool setting kind of bugs me, for me it was not a happy moment of my life (bullying, too much homework, exams). University was a much more happy place and lots of spare time after courses, sadly out of 150 students in my year, just 7 were female, very hard to make a harem in this case. If I were to be in an anime piloting mechas or fighting zombies I would like to be in Univ. :) |
| Yeah, I'm 20 later this year and sure! Ok, I finished high school only like 10 months ago <education in Poland is different> but still I'm a grown ass lady. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| I'm still a student.. so I'm not that old yet but.. I still like watching school anime! I got to see many things that won't happen on RL school after all.. XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Honestly no. I mean obvious exceptions apply but where they're mostly in school and have school issues or relatively teenage issues. I just, don't, care. |
 |
| Yea 20 now, and still enjoy it, it brings some memories back :ppp |
| Yea OP, and I'm even re-watching it. School anime is always good because I consider myself as a lifelong learner. I was inspired by my 50+ years old art teacher, she wears converse shoes and always treat us like her beloved junior. |
| If they are good, then yes. Doesn't matter what characters do if they're well written. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I've been trying to watch more anime that are set in college recently. I recently finished Genshiken Nidaime. Unfortunately, I can't find a legal way to watch Honey and Clover. That said, I still watch some high school anime. |
| I'm definitely thinking this, im 22 and though I can certainly enjoy anime in a school setting, it's definitely getting harder to watch as time goes by. |
 |
| It's more nostalgia at this point. So, if there is actually a good story, yes. But, I rarely watch straight up school Animes. |

| Especially when the lolis are so fappable. |
| I think within the last 6 years nothing has changed for me regarding that genre. The only genre that I seem to enjoy less now would be ecchi. |

| I enjoy watching school anime more then ever now opposed to before so yes |
| It was never a favorite of mine, but I'm less interested now than before after not going to school for about 2? years or something. |
| The idea of watching anything that has anything to do with a school makes me want to wretch and blind and deafen myself to escape the horrors. |
| I never hugely enjoyed school settings in anime anyway. They always seemed like more of an afterthought or "excuse setting" (in analogy to "excuse plot"), at least in the stories I watch. I've wondered whether getting older myself makes it harder for me to relate to teenaged protagonists. I don't know yet; I don't think I have enough data (i.e. experience) to tell yet. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Not that much, Haruhi is the exception though. |

Red_Ryu12345 said: Depends. If it's just cute girls doing X then I'm not interested since I've seen a million of copy cats that do the exact same thing. Being in school in itself is fine, it just depends what you do with it. Pretty much this. I not interested to see that 9564623th ecchi/school anime. |
| As a setting, it's REALLY beating a dead horse at this point to where I may pass on it unless it sounds particularly interesting and isn't a comedy/slice of life. I'm 35 so I've long since graduated and I personally despised high school here in the US, I can only imagine how much more I would have hated Japan's more uptight version. |

pgmhecateii said: Everyone in school anime is most likely older than me, but I do enjoy certain anime from the genre. My high school life probably won't be as enjoyable as I see in anime, lol. Highschool is tough and the highschool life is nothing like you see in anime lol. I hope you're prepared for all-nighters and more homework. And yeah, exams and applying to university/college in grade 12 too. |

ExactlyStandard said: I've never liked the school setting. I prefer action shows. What about action shows set in schools? |
| I'm a lot pickier about I watch now than when I was a teen but honestly while I hated high school while I was there I'm pretty nostalgic about certain aspects of my teenage years. For escapist purposes Ive grown to love the setting |
| The setting doesn't really bother me. As long as the anime has well written characters it doesn't matter if it's set in school or any other place. I don't really watch those kinds of anime because of how relatable they are or for nostagia reasons either since school in anime is lot different than in real life, at least in my experience. |
