Is an academy setting, dare I say it, the best setting?

>>95349612
only if they all have super powers

>>95349612
There's a reason 90% of anime takes place in schools

>>95349638
it's a good reason to have all walks of life interacting with each other

any setting that can grow. a setting is a setpiece and some can grow organically to be whatever you need them to be.

space scifi- different planet races/cultures
ocean- different islands/continents/cultures
etc etc

it depends on the story you want to tell so if you want to tell a story about a bunch of hormonal turd-burglars then yeah an academy might be best there, but generally best: naw.

I thought it was because educational institution settings are the last gasp of anything resembling youthful freedom in GRORIOUS NIPPON! After you graduate, it's a long, slow slide downhill into death with not much to look forward to.

>>95349721
Sure you can. Trouble maintaining law and order with the overworked constables, slaves being lazy, native raids, the economy chafing to support his fat royal majesty, etc. There's a lot you can do with a colonial setting. Both historical and science fiction.

>>95349716
those aren't settings those are just themes
>space academy
>learn how to pilot and are adults
>learn to do space shit

>ocean academy
>learn how to swim and operate aquatic vehicles
>learn about ocean biology

>>95349612
No, because everything is not a shitty anime.

academies are nice settings cause they allow easy exposition
>class on why bad guys are bad
>class on what the story is about i.e. powers, looking for lost stuff, interacting with new things like aliens and shit
>obligatory physical education classes/practical training where characters get to show off and grow

>>95349669
Name 5 genuinely great series with an academy setting. You have 1 shot.

>>95349809
I'm just gonna name anime so you're gonna dismiss me anyway

>>95349612

>>95349612
It's the worst thing.

>>95350294
best*

>>95350224

To be fair, Haruhi is probably the best directed anime series in the last 20 years.

Thats not something people generally pay attention to, but its still true.

>>95349612
Only if you're a fat woman living vicariously through through the interactions of characters slightly more interesting than yourself.
