How accurate is the portrayal of Japanese school life, and life

>>149564224
It lacks the essential elements, like depression, absurdially high social pressure, depression, culture of Arbeit, depression and blatant rewriting of the own history.
Did I mention culture of depression? I´ve yet to see a single fucking high school SoL anime with that shit in it.

It's pretty bad but it's not quite as bad as I think you think it is. High social pressure in some regards but not so much in others. Today's Japanese youth are kind of just giving up en masse and learning to have fun, slowly.

Because they are in school 24/7. Studying is their life. They depict cram school all the time, but they are always portrayed as a regular student. How would you like it if you were forced to go to school after school and study all the time under strict parental guidance? That's japan for you!

I don't really think so. Japan seems to be in the same sort of place it has been for centuries. Japan hasn't really changed other than the introduction of American holidays and sports since the Meiji period.

Oh fuck off, you're the kind of retard that reads Vice articles on Japan and actually believes the population will be completely extinct in 30 years

>>149564330
Whilst there's no "culture of depression" high-school indeed is a complex time for Japanese youth due to all the societal pressures and future expectations (fail your final exams, and you lose any chance of getting any good Uni, meaning becoming one more salaryman).

However, it still isn't that bad as you make it sound.

As for why the hardest part of HS aren't portrayed in SoL anime, that's because anime SoL is a romanisation of what real Japanese life is like. They don't care about realism, but about making things nicer than they actually are.

You'll find several anime that portray all the negative things from HS, just not the SoL iyashii-kei ones.

A better question would be:
Is there moe in japanese schools?

>>149564567
Moe doesn't exist In the three-dimensional form.

I sexually identify as a japanese schoolgirl and I can confirm that it's exactly the same.

I had a part time in high school, but i can't imagine how difficult it would be doing that in Japan.

I live in Kumamoto, anime seems really quite accurate, like there was a festival at my university over the weekend and it was just like the school festivals in anime.

Although Tokyo is totally different and doesn't even fell like Japan when you live outside of it.

High school being a dream-like ideal or whatever is one possibility, but I think there are more practical reasons for its prevalence as a setting. Writers can force interactions between characters with all sorts of personalities who wouldn't normally interact, all wearing the same uniform, doing a huge range of possible activities at anything from an entry level to a high level, at an age where they can make both mature and immature decisions and where their minds are malleable and subject to character development. It's really just an extremely convenient setting.
