High school theme in anime

why most of the anime are taken with high school students? all the genre mostly got this theme and it dominates many genres.
 
May be because the Japanese have some standard stories and preferences. I am not so sure. I have never thought of this before. I don't think anime like one piece, naruto, fairy tail comes under the high school setting

The early start of Naruto does come under a school setting of sorts.


Anyways, I imagine its used because its an easy theme to work with.

Well, that's true. They do have classes and such at the very beginning. I believe it's the exact opposite.
It's a theme difficult to protray properly
 
Romance, love, excitement everything is in that stage of life so that use it in many anime
 
Or may be people would like to watch their childhood rather than their daily life.
It could be a reason too :D
 
I know for awhile, there was a strong theme in animes of school kids ending up in different time periods and becoming some queen or goddess.

Most anime are targeted toward teenagers, and high schoolers have a middle ground.


I do agree that shonen anime are not but seinen anime got decent number too and they are not for teenagers

Yes, that's because Seinen anime by definition isn't for teenagers and is for adults. That's what Seinen means. And, they aren't as common as shounen anime.

Yes. Well as some shonen anime are popular, the released ones tend to be of shonen genre as well.

I'm currently watching twelve kingdoms, it's pretty good.

There is also InuYasha, Legend of Himiko, fuushi yuugi to name a few more.

in inuyasha that kagome don't become a queen. she got powers as a priestess and not as a princess
 
It's just too popular
I don't think it's of any genre but based on Shonen alone, it can have this theme.
 
Okay so everyone has said all the important points. But you all forgot one thing.. who doesn't love anime schoolgirl? Haha.. we need to watch them from time to time
