Have you ever read a manga, anime, LN... without or with little high school setting involved ?
| Moved from Anime/Manga Recommendations Well, at this point, I've actually seen a number of anime that have occurred outside of a school setting, so much so that they've actually featured not just adult, but elderly main characters being fully engaged with the plot. They're certainly refreshing asides to the stuff oriented towards teenagers and young adults reminiscing about the days in school. I don't have a preference for shows set within our outside the walls of schools, especially since a number of my favorite titles do feature schools as integral parts of their plot as opposed to just a simple set piece, but I do take notice of shows that break out of that boundary though. |
| I like to see young anime girls in skirts, and school uniforms are cute |

| At least according to MALgraph, School is my highest rated Genre using weighted scores although I personally I would say I prefer fantasy settings that are done well. But generally speaking I can't say I have strong feelings towards different settings one way or the other since they tend to be pretty hit or miss, much like how I don't care about the ages of characters unless it's notably out of the ordinary. |
| Honestly it might be the case that the majority of the stuff I've watched isn't set in high school. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| I love when an anime doesn't have a high school setting. |
 |
| If it doesn't have a high school setting, it needs lots of girls some other way. |
 |
| are people really so close minded they would denie to watch every anime that is not based on a school setting? is this really true? |
| I don't care, if it's good it's good, if it's bad it's bad |
| Sup... |
| It doesn't really matter to me if it is set in a school or not. |
| :) |
| I don't feel much about it but girls in skirts are a treat to watch. |
 |
| anime with no high school girls might as well not exist |
 |
| WDTFS is my favorite manhwa and I like the fact that it has no school setting. It's about adults which I find very pleasing. Too bad that all Yuri mangas focus on school girls. |
| As someone who hasn't been in high school in a very long time now and got into anime mainly for fantasy and sci-fi and I am more than happy to watch shows that don't take place in a high (or any) school setting. Shows in a school settings can still be great but that isn't what makes me interested in a show or not. |
| Wait OP, my High school life hasn't been turned into anime. If it does, it will enlighten the hell out of you. |
| I tend to like anime with workplace setting more than anime with high school setting..as long as the story are good I don't mind to like both of them. |

| It gives it a more special atmosphere to the manga..rather than it being set in the past medieval times or futuristic future shit... |
 |
| I'm not the type of guy who actievly avoids school settings, but it can be annoying at times, because of how overused it is. Some anime did it right, like Higurashi, you had multiple settings which were all fine, and yet it never was boring. On the other hand, Code Geass that uses its school setting even in war, because that's what you do if you want to conquer the world, hiding in your school. OT: A school setting is just easy to relate to and it has some structure in it and on top of that, you already have a huge base of characters who can be introduced with little to no trouble. Clannad and Toradora are great examples. |
| i like them since the only major complain i have with anime is the huge amount of school settings in it |
| A setting that's not situated in a highschool is always refreshing. |
 |
| Most of the shows I like are outside of the high school setting. |

| Tbh, I hate high school settings (if it isn't a comedy anime that is) because it they usually end up having loads of irritating fillers that often don't even develop the characters like they're suppose to. |

Yes, because the vast majority of hardcore anime fans get little to no pussy whatsoever. It leads them to be extremely creepy and lose interest in actual women and worship cartoon girls out of hatred of the real world. It isn't any surprise weebs fantasize about fucking cartoon girls that look like 11 year old children. |
| I've seen a fair share of shows with no high school setting so I don't mind it. I find them to be quite interesting to be honest (EX: Black Butler, Spice and Wolf, Saint Oniisan, Senyuu, Hetalia, Yuri on Ice, and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi). |

| Ha. Ha. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. I'm laughing because you got hurt. |
| High school is such a stupidly common setting, it often gets forced into the plot. We're much better off without it. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |

Introvert virgins having this sort of sexual fantasies is a normal and to some extent a healthy thing forcing people to experience their reality in its full form can really lead someone to despair about his life The issue with media is the excess it becoming a replacement of reality |
| I have began to actively avoid anime that are set within a school. I bear no relation to this whatsoever and I cannot imagine myself in a similar environment anymore, seeing as I have grown out of that age and during the time where I was actually in school, I experienced something similar to hell. |

| I don't mind if its been in a high school setting although its hard to relate to the kid drama, since I'm almost 30 now and haven't been in high school in a long time. So sometimes it is fresh to see an anime not in the school setting or at least college setting, but I won't discount it because it has a school setting. |
| I enjoy them. The same very common setting time and time again tends to get rather dull for me overtime, even with all the differentials between them. I'd prefer it not being a high school setting, but it's fine if it is. Sometimes it's rather well placed and doesn't bother me as much as other high school based manga/animes/LNs. A few of my favorite animes are in HS settings. Actually, my number one favorite is in a high school setting now that I think about it.The Irregular at Magic High School. So it just all depends for me, but if it's just the typical orindary high school setting with the kids going to school, making friends, and dealing with their set of problems or whatever then it just gets dull eventually. Need some spice in there to keep things interesting. |

| Wow, this is one impressively uninformed poll. There are two factors that drive the abundance of school anime. (I do not think that middle-school anime are meaningfully different) 1) Anime authors just use them unless there is a reason the setting should not be a school of some kind. Mean people might say it's because they never been to any other workplace, and became authors straight out of school. Just because you're in a fantasy world, doesn't mean the Wizards Academy can't be structured like a Japanese school, except cool, right? 2) Japanese love girls around this age. So even if the MCs are renegade soldiers in a fantasy world, they're going to be good-looking teenagers. And I agree with that fully. P.S. In my favorite anime, there is only one anime where characters are fully adults (New Dominion Tank Police). In all the rest of them, main characters are teenagers. And only First Squad does not feature any school in the background (Nadia's flashbacks go to a pioneer camp that resembles a military camp). But it's always just the background. My favorite manga are more varied, but three out of 6 feature school prominently. gabrielrroiz said: are people really so close minded they would denie to watch every anime that is not based on a school setting? is this really true? No, I do not think people like that exist. |
| I find them to be nice, but majority of anime made is shonen anime so a lot of anime will just have high school involved in some way. |
 |
| im guessing 9/10ths of the anime ive watched so far has something school related. i sort of prefer non school related as it feels like a breath of fresh air to me. |

| I freaking need them. Too many anime set in high school. While I mostly kind of like it, I REALLY WANT A NEW SETTING, JAPAN. I'm sure there are far more interesting things out there than people in uniforms doing shit revolving around school --' |

| I don't care. It's just a setting. Some settings are better than others but overall, I haven't met a hopeless setting you can't work out to a great anime. |
