Rotten Red Rod posted:It suddenly occurs to me that while like every other anime is set in high school, I can't think of a single one offhand that takes place in college. Maybe it's because they're so famously hard to get into? There's a ton of crunch so not much time to get into adventures

Tatami Galaxy is the only anime I can think of that is in some way about going to college, and it's incredible. Wait, I just typed those words and remembered Silver Spoon, which is about an Ag trade school, and is also very fun.

It’s like saying movies appeal to people. Ironically in in the west the biggest groups are various minorities and women. I think people forget that anime isn’t meant to appeal to Westerners first and was actually made......for the Japanese

Anime often has some weird demographic stuff going on where it's aimed primarily at schoolgirls and secondarily at aimless adult men, because... Japan. That said, genres like 'shonen', 'seinen' and 'shoujo' are literally named after their target demographic. That said a lot of it is also nostalgia as high school is probably the last time most Japanese people remember being allowed a smidgen of individuality and having positive social interactions. Look at Aggressive Retsuko for a closer depiction of what adult life is like.

Isn't there a thing in Japan where being given an office by the window is the equivalent of being kicked upstairs? Japan seems to have basically been ahead of the pack with the late capitalism grind where children are under immense amounts of pressure to succeed in arbitrary hoops and make connects to get what few opportunities for a stable middle-class life are left, and all too aware that any mistake or straying off that path could set them back for life. And a lot of them just plain give up after enough of those, and then you get hikkomori, 'herbivore men' and people who take being written off as surplus to requirements by society in interesting directions.

Commander Keene posted:Seems to me like that's more "I have a nice view from my office" and less soul-crushing, but I'm not there, I guess. At least it's better than another gray rectangle office building? The grey rectangle building doesnt make me day dream about climbing it and not being in my office, but yes different folks would have different feelings towards the view.

I can't believe I'm asking this, but does "map movement" in this context mean that the game lets you travel between locations on a map, or is it a reference to some hideous ungodly perversion?

I was browsing mods for a game the other day and noticed three of them catering to or based on weird porn I was acquainted with, and I started giving everything else the side-eye. This was just in the public-facing Steam Workshop where everything is ostensibly family-friendly.

I think it's a TVTropes situation where the only term they have for "thing" is Trope so characters having blue eyes is a trope and a character being short is a trope, except instead of trope the word is fetish
