Ew, moonspeak

Eh, I see highschool anime (or shows in general) the same as I always have. Probably because I was never all that much like the characters but I could still relate. Then again, I've always looked at teenagers from a detached view, especially since there never really was a time where I pushed to stop being treated like a kid or struggled for independence. Never really had a lot of HS drama, either.

I tend to view a good portion of High School anime as being mainly the same or following the same formula...with a few exceptions like Cromartie High School, Azumanga Daioh, Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, GTO, and School Rumble.

Nope, never felt like that at all. For me a good coming of age story, be it book, film or anime will always be appreciated. Of course there are a lot of school setting anime that wouldn't fall into the coming of age category, for those I just take it show by show as I would a show from any other setting. I'll watch a comedy if it is funny or a drama if it isn't too terrible. Just because you are no longer a child it doesn't mean you powers of empathy have dissipated or your memory was wiped, well I hope not.

Dunno, I wouldn't put it past me to have that happen.

Aaaand I'm back in my usual late-night want-to-start-watching-an-old-show mood.
Luckily, this time, as a result of autumn and the long, dark nights that come with it, my brain thinks it's really late and I've reached this state of mind at a pretty feasible time.
Hello Lodoss.

Animu sure does put high school life on a pedestal though. Guess that is partially down to Japan's social issues and then the rest is wish fulfillment for those that maybe didn't have such a good time.

Don't think I've seen Lodoss. Spooky.

A soul-crushing experience for anybody that isn't a cheerleader or handegg player*

The school/life part of those years was great for me, family imploding kind of took the gloss off it though.

When they get you I'll be sure to remember you.

Looks like our situations mirror eachother somewhat. I hope your lot sorted themselves out.
