| Understandable. Most people love their middle//high school days. |
 |
| I think it's hot. They have the nicest thighs. |
 |
| Most of this stuff is aimed at teenagers so sure why not? |

| I think it's nothing but awesome. :3..... |
 |
| I really like it, one of the best part of anime. |
 |
| as a fetish it's defintely hot, especially when you put a gyaru in it. As for the reason why it's used so often, it seems to be the most exciting part of a japanese life for many. With all the hormones and stuff :D |
| i think its cancer ...its for casual sweaty smelly juvenile misguided trash weebs with scuffed standards who know nothing about anime and they are a far cry from actual real refined cultured anime enthusiasts,they are a blight upon the medium its nauseating pathetic & cringeworthy , i purposely avoid that type of anime like the plague. |

| Its usually cute, hot, and creepy lots of anime highschool girls are sexy like Tohsaka Rin shes the hottest fuckin anime highschool girl there is. |
 |
| That depends upon who the character designer is. |
| It's often down to two things. It's popular with younger audiences and because of creepers |

No one is out to get you. You like your anime, let others like their anime. No issues with that. Just leave it like it is. Of course, you could just be joshing. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding. |
| It is the story of the magnificent banquet: six hundred different plates offer themselves to your appetite; are you going to eat them all? No, surely not, but this prodigious variety enlarges the bounds of your choice and, delighted by this increase in possibilities, it surely never occurs to you scold the Amphitryon who regales you. Do likewise here: choose and let lie the rest without disclaiming against that rest simply because it does not have the power to please you. Consider that it will enchant someone else, and be a philosopher. - Marquis de Sade; The 120 Days of Sodom |

| I find it cute and hot, not creepy or disturbing. |
| The West's most popular shows are also based on kids/teens in middle/high school as well, like Stranger things and Wednesday. So it's not just a Japanese thing. The entire world must be pedos, and in some countries/areas they marry 12 y/o. The entire world is sick. |
high school anime girls are hot, what's there to be upset about? |
    |
| LONG LIVE THE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS. Every obsession brings problems, so love high school girls, but don't become obsessed. |

Japanese school system is a bit different than school system in my country but I can still relate to many situations.

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I find it pretty strange. They are not real. |

| it doesn't really bothers me at all. |

| It's equally obsessed with danshikoukousei. |
| I love it, high school girls are the best |
 |
| there's no obsession? simply aimed toward that demographic. and lots of high school anime is fun |
  |
| I think it's just the concept of "seishun". Adulthood in Japan sucks and anime, often being designed for escapism, brings people back to the time when they had less to worry about, ie. high school, and naturally high school girls are a part of that experience. |
  |
| I think the best representation of high school girls is in Daily Life of High School Boys. |
| Location: Turin, Italy |
| it's nice. i see nothing wrong with it. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I don't think there's much wrong with it? as culturally Japanese think of their highschool days as their happiest. So... cool I guess? |
 |
| Think it's reflective of many in the audience thinking the most fondly of their high school days. I don't necessarily mind it, as I've gotten used to this being the norm in many titles. Just depends on genre and premise for the title in question. |
| There aren't enough high school girls in anime. Solution: Japan should consider extending high school age to the 30s or 40s. |
 |
| ummmmm i think the whole high school obsession itself is overused and it gets boring cuz a lot of the times especially if it's slice of life it tends to become a repeat |
| There's no obsession with high school girls, there's an obsession with girls, but the high school part is simply a common/relatable setting. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| As a setting, I do get tired of the whole high school thing. My main gripe with the Persona series is that it always starts in a high school setting. As far as the age of these characters goes, I don't really care either way. They're fictional characters...They could literally slap any age onto them. I care more about how annoying a character is than their age.. |
| It's not an obsession towards high school girls, it's more like an obsession towards anime girls lol. They look cute and appealing to look at. |

This might come to a surprise but it goes beyond just Anime. Japanese culture in general is obsessed with High School and in particular High School girls. From their live action TV and movies to their adult video industry. If you are suddenly creeped out about this by having some epiphany that this is extremely prominent to their culture, You can blame things dating back to the early 70s with films like "Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion" to modern day stuff like "yo yo girl cop". For decades even before most MAL users were even born, School girls in Japan have been a Symbol Youth and Innocence to Power and Brutality throughout history in their media and cinema. |

| The older I get, it becomes harder for me to relate to the high school themes, and the less it makes me want to try new manga or anime. And unlike some of the people in this thread, I'm not a creepy 30-something who finds high schoolers attractive, even if fictional. There are exceptions to this for me, but it was really difficult for me to watch Bocchi the Rock or Urusei Yatsura's 2022 adaptation and get invested in either for example. |
| Better than it being obsessed with grannies, I know that much. JKs and JCs have an age range where they still have a lot of experience and development to undergo, which makes writing them easier. It's possibly the most turbulent period in life in general, which makes it very eventful by extension. |

| It is what it is, and as @ColourWheel points out, it's an obsession that goes far beyond anime. I believe Japanese women report that their rate of molestation/assault on public transportation goes down once they graduate high school and stop wearing school uniforms. If more anime featured older female characters in ecchi situations, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to watching it. But for now, I'll watch what's offered to me, and as long as you're not going around harassing / hitting on high school girls in real life, there's no harm, no foul.
