Why do they always portray high school as the best times

>>118912666
wow that person is really getting comfy. I want to get comfy under them to warm and soft

Because in japan it is. Have you seen their work weeks,anon?

Because it is. After 18, it's all down hill.

Because writers fantasize of a high school life they never had.

Because it is. No matter how much high school sucks, as you get older things just suck more.

Because they didn't had good high school lives nigga
education and shit is thick and tight on moonland

>>118912741
Unless you are dirty rich
like you can snap a finger and have a country for you

Because High School was pretty fucking fun and kids have a relatively large amount of free time and a desire to do things of their own volition.

Plus everyone went to High School, not everyone went to college.

Personally, I'd prefer if we idolized college because ~20 yr/o are a lot more interesting than High Schoolers, but hey, I don't make anime.

>>118912666
Rose colored glasses anon I attended public school in Kyoto for 3 months before finally getting in the private school that fucked up my transfer. It was fucking hell. No AC, japs don't shower and goofy looking dipshits. Don't believe your chinese cartoons anons the only places slightly resembling animes are private schools and even then only slightly.

>>118912740
This so much. Japan has a fascination with a feeling called "the nostalgia for what never happened" or something like that

>>118912871
>japs don't shower
I refuse to believe any first world country has this
heck i take 3 per day

They should have brought a futon.

My senior year of high school was the best time of my life. Then everything went downhill.

OP didn't have fun on highschool?

because they're like me and want to escape into delusions of what a perfect high school life would be like

>>118912915
you're going to end up ripping all the skin off your body, i bet you wash your fucking hands with bleach

There's literally no reason to shower more than once every few days unless you're a disgusting sweaty faggot.

>>118912915
I bet you're really fat.

>>118912915
They don't for the most part, like every 3 days or something, they bath mostly and by then the entire family has already used it. It's pretty fucking gross.

>>118912899
Because thats one good way of escapism.

Everyone went to high school so it's easier for readers to relate to characters and experiences.

High school forces you together with people you wouldn't normally interact with. If you look at the cast of characters in something where everyone is an adult, like living game or even bartender while people may have a lot of acquaintances their circle of friends is smaller.

High school is a time of maturing from kids into adults, which is a nice setting for character development.

>>118912915
>Showering more than every other day

>>118912710
Japanese work fewer hours than Americans on average. Not that much fewer mind you, but still.

Seems west people didn't understand how fun highschool life is.

>>118913066
But the pay sucks for the most part so alot of nips take on second jobs. Plus if you got a family males tend to be the sole provider.

>>118912988
>you're going to end up ripping all the skin off your body

I only do that when I'm switching bodies.

>>118913052
if you shower less than once a day you're gross

if you shower more than twice a day you're fat

High school was actually the best time of my life. I was social, health, was in a band, had a girl friend, and had almost no worries.

Now I'm just a introverted fat sack of shit.

>>118912666
There's a huge laundry list of reasons. In short though:
>It's a convenient setting
>People can relate to the characters
>It's during the "coming of age" time of life, where the characters have any excuse abotu being retarded about social situations
>Characters are more or less the same age as the target audience.

>>118912915
You should be euthanized for the waste of water your fat ass makes.

>>118913052
I shower anytime I have to go out. This can mean two or three showers a day or no showers for a week depending on my schedule.
>>118913123
>if you shower more than twice a day you're fat
Do you never exercise?

>>118912915
I would understand 1 a day, maybe 2 if you're a maniac, but wtf, 3 showers a day, that's around a shower every 6 hours ? why ?

>>118913089
School was awful.
I'm glad it's over.

>>118913123
I can go 2 days before my hair gets noticeably greasy, no need to waste water showering every day.

>>118913148
>Do you never exercise?
no, i'm not fat

>>118913153
3 showers is weird, but twice a day is easy.

I shower in the morning when I wake up, and shower after I go to the gym during the afternoon/evening.

>>118913089
Personally going to private school in Japan was awesome, just that public school kinda sucked, I met my wife there. Got a 2 little girls calling me oniichan, a jiji and okasan. Although in retrospect it was very westernized since most of the kids there were from upper or upper middle class.

>>118913089

It was boring. I prayed that each second of the day would go by faster and that I'd be at home playing games.

>>118913089
When you go to high school with Amerifats and people that talk about CoD everyday you'll understand why it was so shit.

>>118913089
>tfw unless I wanted to be made fun of in high school I would have to fit in.
>3 years of me just living in a empty husk that wasn't even me.

I'm glad it's over.

What the fuck, I shower at once every morning and sometimes not on saturdays, but thinking not showering once a day is not the norm is seriously an issue.

>>118913284
>but thinking not showering once a day is not the norm

Exactly, that's why I shower maybe twice a week.

Also take in mind the age factor, between 13 and 18 the body is a fucking hormones cocktail that most of the times make them see the surrounding, future prospect and people less shitty than what they are when you past your 21.

Also because most of the people that's targeted are dad/mom boys that didn't hit the raw reality and don't think about shit like wage-labor time ratio, savings, finances, job future, long/short relationships, health or even if they actually like what they waste 18 fucking years studing and thinking most of them would probably do the same shit until they retire.

You can live you entire life without showering even once, the idea of having to shower frequently is just a social construct

>>118913089
i'm glad it's over
not happy for what followed

Nigga I live in Florida, I gotta shower at least twice a day.

>>118913284
Eh, hygiene is subjective.

Back in the day, Queen Isabella of Spain was known for bathing once every month, even when she didn't need it.

>>118913446
These days appearing, smelling, or feeling human isn't very popular.

>>118913582
>queen isabella
>same time in history as cavemen

>>118913446
Even today I'm sure there are people that take showers once a month.

>>118913517
If you want to be "human" go to Africa

>>118913446
I used to only shower once a month, then I got head lice and I started showering normally.

>>118913549
>those two comments

I just laughed harder than I have in weeks

College is the best time for Japanese. All other times suck

>>118913634
lice have nothing to do with personal hygiene idiot

Because for a lot of people, it is. No cares, worries, responsibilities, mom and dad paying for shit and when you do get in trouble, almost nothing happens to you. The best of times, hanging out with your friends, drinking, slapping 3D asses and sticking your dick in questioanble pussy.

then the ride ends after HS and the real world creeps up on you. Every adult i know reminisces about their HS days. It's sad.

>>118912915
I shower everyday but only use soap once a week.

>>118912871
That's sadly true.
I had experience guiding a whole class of high school students from Osaka.
They were really not as tidy and good-mannered as shown in their chinese cartoons.
And most male students had strange haircut too .
Maybe students from Tokyo are better? I don't know.
But they did say they enjoyed their school live a lot with a bunch of decent club activities.

>>118913888
If the stereotypes hold true then the Tokyo kids would be better behaved than Osakans.

>>118913446
Hygiene in middle ages Europe wasn't even a thing. Versailles in France, for example, was an opulently decorated open sewer with a perma-stench that was as infamous as the lice-infested assholes who lived there. There's nothing subjective about that level of funk.

>>118913956
>There's nothing subjective about that level of funk.

Oh damn, really? You had me going there for a second, thought we had more time travellers posting on /a/

>>118912666

Call me a normalfag or whatever but true story. I started my old high school's anime club and I did at least SOMETHING sexual with every woman who joined at one point or another.

I shower once a week and only more when i need to get out, and i rarely do, when i was a kid in elementary i used to go a month or once every two months without
a bath, i remember my mom dragging me into the bath by force after i went two months without a bath once on elementary, fun years.

Clapistani here.

It is nostalgia to a point, but for me highschool was the highlight of my life outside of my dad literally riding me every time I got less than an A on anything. Lucky for me my mom knew he was overreacting so nothing really came of it other than annoyance on my part.

People who fucked around most of their high school life instead of buckling down and getting an education view high school as the best time of their life because of the dead end life they have afterwards.

People who buckled down and got an education regret not doing a lot of things their peers did and wish they could go back to try some of it out.

Well-adjusted human beings realize that there was good and bad about that time and also realize that it's in the past and they should move on.

If you live in a hot country, you need to shower at least once a day.

Aren't Japanese supposed to be ultra clean and shower often? I know for a fact that here in Brazil, it was the Japanese imigrants who introduced the idea of showing every day. Europeans didn't do that back at that time.

As for highscoolers, it is indeed the best time of most people's lives. You're healthy, have lots of freetime, and reasonable amounts of responsability. Bofore that you're too young, and after that you have no time for yourself.

I remember high school.
I started out as a socially awkward late bloomer who was easy to pick on.
4 years later I was a defensive rage-fueled psychopath who dropkicked the scrotum of anyone who so much as sneered in my general direction.
I needed serious counseling after that shit.
Fuck high school. Nothing but a breeding ground for violent assholes.
God bless America.

At least uni is chill as fuck.

Human bacteria have evolved over the hundreds of years.

I used to think like you until I got the dreaded jock itch.

If you want to believe bullshit like that, then throw away your modern clothes and wear togas and shit because modern clothes require you to shower everyday.

Meanwhile, back then, no underwear existed and it was okay for someone to catch a glimpse of your nuts on the street but at least you get a lot of fresh air on your privates compared to jeans wearing people today.

I find college to be alright, though I commute to my university. High school was bearable because I was on a robotics team with a bunch of other nerds.

>>118914950
Eh, it's okay. But being debt free comes with having no say over things and having to get my bachelors from a religious institution that I am in no way a good fit for at all. The friends here I did have were poorfags who all had to leave due to money issues, others are friends from high school I still talk to online sparingly.

Same for me. I have to shower everyday just because of my hair.

because characters in anime don't seem to have a need for studying. I swear to god there were some years where I went to school just to do exams. it's absurd

Either do a job you enjoy or find comfort in the things your job allows you to do.

My hair turns really greasy if I skip cleaning it just for one day.

I wish I didn't have to shampoo and condition it everyday but if I don't, I end up with Dragon Ball Z hair every morning which turns into shitty looking helmet hair despite no helmet by afternoon.

Meanwhile, my dad has curly hair that looks good with or without showering.

Well my grandpa managed to get a fat retirement.
The old fucker is pretty much partying non-stop.

As for me, just knowing I've outlived the thousands of people who die horribly every day fills me with profound satisfaction.

I do, same thing. It's kind of weird.

Your hair is supposed to have oil in it

At least it takes a lot less effort than in the stone ages

Back then you'd spent 8 hours/day hunting dinosaurs with no guarantee of success, not to mention long walks to the nearest river
Nowadays water is a few cents a gallon, and a few hours of work is enough to buy groceries for a week if your job isn't shit
