Most anime is about young people with ambition, youthful vigor, and an actual future. Younger viewers can watch it, imagine themselves as the characters, and use the anime as an example of what life might potentially hold in store for them regarding relationships, happiness, and memorable moments. We oldcels obviously can't do that since we're old; we feel detached from it and get depressed by watching it.

I heard the reason that the reason a lot of anime’s are set in high school or an isakai is because of how much the work culture sucks in Japan causing most kids to peak in high school

at least I watched it when I was young
 
The reason why anime romanticises HS so much is because in Japan there's basically zero freedom afterwards, it's complete grind wage slaving loyalty to your company until you retire.

I personally think HS was one of the worse chapters of my life, there's better to chapters come.
