| I mean as in terms of construction details, interiors, or even landscape. In terms of style, two of my favorites are definitely Luna Nova from Little Witch Academia or Hope's Peak from Danganronpa. As for interiors, I really liked the one from Nisekoi, with its weirdly shaped windows and floor tiling or the one from Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge. Those bridges across the second floor and the metallic roof structure are so cool! And as for landscape, the one from Flip Flappers is the only one that comes to mind right now, with all that greenery on its roof. So, do you know any other? With so many school anime, at least one of them must have caught your eye. Please show some pics if possible. Please try to keep it as realistic as possible! Don't say something like Soul Eater, because that's just too over the top lol. I think the classroom interiors are cool tho. |

| Interesting topic First which came to my mind were Totsuki and Duel Academy Tho, a school on a mountain or an island with active volcano isn't the best idea. Angel Beats Also Nagi no Askura |

| Pokemon S&M has pretty cool looking school another noteworthy is the Girls und Panzer franchise. It has school-ships with a mini society built on them. also, Gosick has a.. sick school area. No I am not sorry about that. Then there's Kill la Kill's academy |

Because nothing says "I'm an edgy teenager" more than your school being next to a freaking volcano!! lmao. |

And right! I forgot the ship is considered to be the whole school on its own! A true masterpiece of engineering. |

| I'm not sure about "coolest," but I have three schools off the top of my head that I can highlight: First, for a really accurate recreation, I've found things from Kyoto Animation to be really well represented. An example of this would be Sakuragaoka High School in K-on, where the real life Toyosato Elementary School in Inukami District, Shiga Prefecture was turned into an actual culturally protected and preserved site. It's kind of silly, but the thought of anime having real world implications in giving real life structures and locations cultural importance is really fascinating to me. Second, for something that's technologically enhanced, I've always found Mitakihara Middle School from Madoka Magica to be interesting to look at: However, it's kind of nonsensical where the rooftop is just the Milan Cathedral in Italy, or that the skyline beyond the school is Dubai. Lastly, as a fantastical entry (since I think things like the aforementioned Soul Eater could still be interesting as imaginative thought exercises in design), the architecture of Ohtori Academy in Revolutionary Girl Utena gets super abstract at times, looking like things from Archigram and other similar avant-garde designs. I spent an hour on this post, what the hell |
ShockedMar 2, 2018 8:41 PM
| Bit biased, but I also find Ohtori's architecture very pretty, both series and movie version. |
 let's live heroically, let's live with style |
| Girls und Panzer - building an entire city on a huge ship for students sounds pretty dope. |
 |
| @Shocked Wow, now I just feel like a fool for having forgotten the one from Madoka Magica. Yes! To me it looks like something taken directly from near future. I'm dumbfounded by the architecture of Utena. Some of its buildings have a lot of ressemblance to Italian futurism, with all those vertical shapes and monumental scale. Thanks for letting me know about it! Now I definitely have to check it out. |

| Can't decide between Madoka and Utena, both have sick architecture. |
| Dear Brother and Revolutionary Girl Utena. |
 |
| In terms out building I would have to go with Gakusen Toshi Asterisk landscape wise I would have to go with Academy City from the Raildex series |

| I dislike the show but Zero no Tsukaima has a pretty nice academy. Also can't forget the ninja academy in Naruto. |
when ur about to have a refreshing sip of earl grey tea and someone says "traps are gay" |
greymood said: Why is it even a question when there's Utena That's the point, my dude. If I hadn't asked this question, I wouldn't have found out about Utena; but now I do know. Even so, there are many architecture styles and irl buildings that animators can grab inspiration from; so I wanted to know which of them appeal to people and why. |

Apart from the school topic, I can't really describe the architecture of Naruto. It's like, modernized Japanese style? with all those narrow streets and full of ornaments, but with some weird shapes foreign to Japanese traditional architecture too. I personally loved the design of the Rain Village. |

| Probably this. I played so many Yu-Gi-Oh games to remember the interior so much. |

| They may not have sported the most original 'architecture' per se, but for the purposes of immersion I'd be remiss not to mention stuff like Kaiba, Rain Town, Angel's Egg, Ergo Proxy, and MONONOKE. And yeah...Utena is a big, duh. |
| I gotta admit the second I saw this topic, my head screamed 'Utena!' and looks like I wasn't the only one lol. I especially like how they turned up the abstract dial up to eleven in the movie. I mean, just look at this: And the location they had the dance scene was unbelievably beautiful too: There is nothing realistic about these though :'D |
| Mahora Academy have it all. You name it they have it. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

As I stated in some other comment, I see a lot of ressemblance to Italian futurism in the shapes of Utena's buildings. So, at least to some extent, something like that could haven been possible irl (the buildings moving part was too much tho lmao.) I totally have to watch this ASAP. Also, thanks for the gratuitous almost yuri scene lol. |

I mean... The movie is shoujo ai so... It's bound to happen lol. That being said, watching the series first is advisable. |
| Mmm I think the high school of Citrus(its too much fancy),highschool dxd,kotoura-san, Guilty crown and Clannad. |
| “THERE EXIST IN THIS WORLD SOMETHING NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN IT'S GENTLE SO VERY SWEET THE GLIMPSES IS ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE A PERSON CRAVE IT THAT'S WHY IT'S NEVER BEEN SEEN THAT'S WHY THE WORLD HAS KEPT HIDDEN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN BUT ONE DAY, IT WILL BE FOUND BY THE PERSON WHO IS MEANT TO FIND IT. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT WORKS." |
| Citrus for sure. I especially like the glass roof. |
 |
| Ooh, I like this thread. Re Utena: it looks a bit heavy on a surrealism influence for my taste, though the spiral ramp is certainly quite neat. On the other hand, my favorite one here as far as realism goes would be: the one from Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge. Those bridges across the second floor and the metallic roof structure are so cool! As for simply cool/awe factor, I quite like Gosick's library tower. The outside scenery seems a bit meh but the sheer scale of the tower and the way it has a garden on top is cool. The "green roof" in Flip Flappers is also really neat. The way that Soul Eater lecture hall looks narrow and tall actually reminds me a lot of room 35-225 at MIT. I'm also curious to see more of Pokémon S&M just to see the architecture in its tropical setting. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I agree with the school at Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge... It's closer to reality and it was something really different from other real-life anime schools, especially its interiors. |
 |
| I can tell you that I don't remember a single building from any anime. I've honestly never paid attention to it. Unless you count pokemon gyms. I definitely remember those. |
| hey, i just put something different, rural school! non non biyori gin no saji the scholl is super big, i don't think picture can do justice... some of my favorite manga too SHirogane no nina those tree, LOT OF TREE! those waxed wood floor... those big azz field! |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Was going to say Totsuki Culinary Academy from Sns but someone already provided an image for that. 'TENNOZ High' from Guilty Crown basically has a cool-looking, sci-fi design 'Ashford Academy' from Code Geass has a nice, huge landscape |

Very cool high-tech indeed. I could see that existing irl, so it's not that sci-fi to me. Tho it looks more like a university or scientific research center, rather than a high school lol. |

Best classroom design is Made in Abyss imo, just really unique.... |
 |
Ooooh, how could I forget that. Maybe because we get to see so little scenes inside the classroom, lol. It must be a pain to get to your seat, but hey, at least it's useful as a practice for their climbing skills! |

Maelstrom said: >as realistic as possible >LWA OT: TL-R that school is designed to trip,fall and cop a feel The LWA school has clear elements of gothic style mixed with some organic shapes that ressemble art nouveau, so I don't see why that's not possible. Well, with the obvious exception of having the Philosopher's Stone inside a tower. You got me a good laugh with the To-Love-Ru joke lmao. |
