To those who hate anime, why do you hate it? (lemmus.org)

Sorry, I know that this is a thread for people who dislike anime to voice their reasons, but do you mind some rec? Based on what you said, I feel like you'd enjoy Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood quite a bit:

  • there's a lot of substance in FMA:B in the theme, worldbuilding, character interactions.
  • there are fight scenes but they never overstay their welcome. They don't feel tiring like in Dragon Ball Z or similar.
  • characters are relatable. For example, the two protags fuck it up big time, right at the start, and yet can you really blame them? You'd probably do the same in their situation.
  • there's practically no sexualisation of female characters. Arguably only one of the villains, but that's done for characterisation and it would feel off otherwise, it isn't there for fanservice.

[Note: I'm not recommending this to change your views or some crap like that, it's just that as I was reading your list of issues I was thinking "true that... wait, FMA:B doesn't do it!"]

To be fair,

spoilerHow else would you portray Lust if not hyper-sexualized?

+1 for FMA: Brotherhood though, that shit slaps and given the above commenter's statement I also think they'd like it
