Anime fans tend to be really out of touch with certain baselines… like not being an open pervert.

Part of the problem with recommending anime is that if all you care about is eliminating prev, you're going to miss some gems.

Like, are you really going to hang Evangelion out to dry? Are you tossing Sailor Moon and Card Capture Sakura in the dumpster over some skimpy outfits? Kill a Kill is crazy pervy, but it's also an incredible ride.

So I offer mine: Spirited Away.

Miyazaki is a treasure. But imagine passing on Kiki's Delivery Service or Princess Monanoke.

and Cyberpunk Edgerunners

Rebecca alone. Come on. How is that not underaged sexualization.

Haven't watched the other miyazaki movies so I'm not the person to recommend them.

And Rebecca is very obviously not a child. She's just short. She literally gave a dude a blow job barely off screen no way would that shit fly if she was a minor. Lol.

I watched Edgerunners a few weeks ago, and I was kinda surprised by how little Rebecca bothered me. Aside from her introduction, she isn't sexualized any more than any other female character except Dorio, and her personality really clashes with her character design. Visually she looks young, but actually watching the show, she didn't really read as child-coded to me

It's funny, because I don't like a single anime you just mentioned.

shrug

That's too bad.
