themesThemes describe the very central elements important to the anime stories. They set the backdrop against which the protagonists must face their challenges. Be it School Life, present Daily Life, Military action, Cyberpunk, Law and Order detective work, Sports, or the Underworld. These are only but a few of the more typical backgrounds for anime plots. Add to that a Conspiracy setting with a possible tragic outcome, the Themes span most of the imaginable subject matter relevant to anime.
· school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important.
· · absurdly powerful student councilA student council is a student-managed body inside a school which engages in administrative affairs, usually working in a partnership with management, staff and parents. In real life, a student council holds no actual power, but in many anime/manga, they are allowed to overrule nearly everyone else.
· · all-boys schoolA private school setting that consists of only male students (may or may not include teachers and other school staff, aswell).
· · all-girls schoolThis school is only for female students. There may be a few male teachers though.
· · art schoolThe education in art plays an important part in this anime. Art school is a general term for any educational institution with a primary focus on the visual arts, especially illustration, painting, photography, sculpture, and graphic design. The term applies to institutions with elementary, secondary, post-secondary or undergraduate, or graduate or postgraduate programs in these areas. They are distinguished from larger institutions which also may offer majors or degrees in the visual arts, but only as one part of a broad-based range of programs (such as the liberal arts and sciences). France`s École des Beaux-Arts is, perhaps, the first model for such organized instruction, breaking with a tradition of master and apprentice instruction when it was formed. (Source: Wikipedia)
· · boarding schoolno description set
· · catholic schoolA setting for this anime is a school run by the nuns and/or priests of the Church Of Rome. Religious instruction may be an integral part of the plot. Religious icons - particularly crosses and crucifixes are usually prominent.
· · cram schoolCram schools ("juku" in Japan) are specialized schools that train their students to meet particular goals, most commonly to pass the entrance examinations of high schools or universities. The English name is derived from the slang term "cramming", meaning to study hard or to study a large amount of material in a short period of time. (Source: Wikipedia)
· · delinquentDelinquents - Every school has them, but not all anime with school setting make delinquents a central topic. There are several versions of these delinquents, though some are grounded on a misunderstanding.
· · elementary schoolThe term elementary school is used in some countries for schools where children from the age of about five receive primary education.
· · formerly one-gender schoolThis anime takes place at a school that was formerly one-gender, but has recently begun to admit the opposite sex. This can be a set-up for harem situations stemming from a still-skewed gender ratio.
· · high schoolA secondary school that usually contains grades 10 through 12 in Japan, or 9 through 12 in America.
· · middle schoolno description set
· · preschoolPreschool education (or infant education) is the provision of learning to children before the commencement of statutory and obligatory education, usually between the ages of zero and three or five, depending on the jurisdiction.
· · school clubsEven though school clubs in Japan are not mandatory, there is some pressure from the social grid (e.g. fellow students, teachers) to participate in some kind of after-school activity, be it in sports or arts. Colleges also have clubs. There is the element of social commentary, making it clear that you have to join a club. Since self-founded clubs need at least 3 members, the desperate search and advertising for new members can be cause for hilarity in anime.
· · school dormitoryA school dormitory or residence hall is the student living quarters at an elite academy, boarding school, or military school. The main characters may live or work at the dormitory, and it often becomes the backdrop for a reoccurring part of the story.
· · school for the rich eliteno description set
· · student governmentno description set
· · universitySince college/university students are typically at least eighteen years old, with stories covering mature everyday life topics, you will find the college setting quite often in seinen and josei anime.
