Steins;Gate (correction: episode 8 unfortunately has >!Okarin!< grope >!Luka!< because he doesn't believe that they're actually >!a girl in this worldline!<. Everyone rightfully calls him out for being a creepass)

Castlevania (shut up yes it is)

Vivy: Fluorite Eyes Song

Violet Evergarden (edit: NOT THE MOVIE)

Hyouka (skip the ova)

Belle

[Redacted]

Baccano

Deca-dence (I think)

Trigun

Akudama Drive

ACCA: 13 Territory Inspection Dept.

Fullmetal Alchemist

Spy Family

#Mushishi

5 Centimeters Per Second

Afro Samurai

Your Lie In April

Nichijou

Odd Taxi

Cowboy Bebop

Canaan

Sk8 the Infinity (arguably I guess because Adam is a creepass)

A Place Further Than The Universe

Supercrooks

Bocchi the Rock

House of Five Leaves

Weathering With You

#Haibane Renmei

Thus concludes the exhaustive list of animes I watched where I didn't have to put up with any sexualization of minors

If you only take one anime from this list, let it be Mushishi

I wish I'd seen Haibane Renmei by the time I initially made this list. Watch that too!

You should add Kino's Journey to that list (both the old one and the 2017 remake/sequel).

Very similar chill traveler vibes to Mushishi

I am exercising extreme control to not create a couple of dozen extra accounts across multiple instances to create an apparent wave of support for your dicision to include Mushishi because #OMG MUSHISHI IS THE GOAT.

My wife once described it as a "Warm hug and a heavy sigh during a tough season of your life."

Can be super melancholy at times and emotionally challenging but as soon as you either catch your breath / dry your tears / re-evaluate your life / heavy sigh a couple dozen time / sit in the dark in complete silence (episode dependent you immediately want to dive into the next episode. Even if you are unsure why.

Music: Beautiful Story: Beautiful Art: Beautiful

If you are looking for an anime that will make you think, feel, and wonder, then Mushishi is the one for you. It is a rare gem that deserves to be watched by anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of life. Mushishi is not just an anime, it is an experience.

Caveat: Mushishi may not be for everyone. Some people may find it too slow-paced, episodic, lacking in action or prefer more character development or continuity between episodes. Valid criticisms all, but I think they are outweighed by the strengths of the anime. Mushishi is not meant to be a typical show with a linear plot or flashy attention grabbing sequences.

It is meant to be a slice of life with a touch of magic. It is meant to be enjoyed at your own pace and with an open mind. If you can appreciate that, then you will love Mushishi as much as I do.

And if you want to get emotionally destroyed, go with Grave of the Fireflies.

WARNING: read imdb reviews first.

I just finished Fullmetal Alchemist for the fourth time, and ED3 sexualizes Winry. I guess they had to get the creepy anime viewers to keep watching.

But it doesn't fit at all. It's just plain weird. If I had one complaint, that would be it. The rest is fantastic!

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if it were live action, it would be pretty uncomfortable to watch. That being said, when I think "sexualization," I think of A Certain Magical Index or Gate. If the worst a show has to offer is a few seconds of bad camera angle in one of the end credit sequences, it's miles ahead of the norm

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh, this is why I don't tell people I like anime.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have the same apprehension, but anime is a medium. There's a lot of disgusting books and Western movies around, and we don't shame people for liking books and Western movies.

[–] iminahurry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

The problem with anime is that some of the most popular ones suffer from the issues described in the meme. Take death note for example, immensely popular. But the female characters are mere props with one massively problematic female character's infatuation with the lead driving half the show. It's just unwatchable if you don't like that kind of thing.

[–] SgtSilverLining@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Snow White with the Red Hair is my favorite hidden gem.

main character is a strong, independent, brilliant woman. She isn't abrasive or obnoxious, just confident in who she is. Her success in the story is entirely from her own efforts.
love interest is a well rounded character, not an Everyman stand in. His own strengths and weaknesses are plot relevant and he grows independently of the mc.
the romance progresses at a steady pace and isn't a will they/won't they for two seasons.
romance is one of many plot lines, not the only one. It's also slice of life and medieval politics.
and of course, everyone's adults. Everyone has normal body proportions and healthy personalities.

Thank you. Saved, as I know some of these are great, so might be others. (Going through top posts in my feed, hence late comment. )

Made in Abyss season one has that one scene where the main, underaged character is suspended naked in public as a punishment. I’ve heard that there are a few other questionable moments in the manga.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

i mean there's also the erection scene and the sexual tension between the very young main characters over it.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And if you want some fan service that fits these requirements and is still wholesome I give you Goldenboy.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Watched it, loved it.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

The manga is like 100 times longer than the OVA. It eventually develops a meta-plot that's kinda meh but it's solid overall.

[–] Live2day@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why am I not seeing One Piece in here? It sexualizes nami and Robin but they are both over 18. There aren't really relationships at all in the show unless you count boa hancock but that's pretty tame and not a relationship

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Vivi is 16 before the time skip and the guys try to spy on her in the bath. Rebecca is 16 and wears a chainmail bikini for an entire arc. Shirahoshi is 16 and wears a bikini top while a creepy guy stalks her for an entire arc.
