Comic Strips

An no fan service/no upskirt/cleavage shots.

And no racist depictions.

There's a lot of terrible anime, but there's also a lot of fantastic anime. There's a lot of anime.

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

I don't even know what's on that one page

I find that if you want good anime recommendations, the recommendation must come from someone that doesn't like anime. Anime fans tend to be really out of touch with certain baselines... like not being an open pervert.(I've seen that hentai hoodie, don't lie.) Also people who don't like anime can distinguish between "good for an anime" and "good".

So I offer mine: Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Spirited Away.

Delicious in Dungeon! I think!

Would Friren count? Romance of the two teens are age appropriate for them. And two dudes that are enamoured with older women, but I think that’s it.

Silent voice, your name, weathering with you

and everything from studio ghibli obviously (I personally love porco rosso)

I honestly only look this kind. The rest is just bad and tries to cache it with fanservice.

No one's mentioned Aggretsuko yet.

I agree with the sentiment that loli shit is disgusting, but the problem is that so many of you sexless prudes go in looking for shit to be offended by and start projecting onto shit that's fine. Like the character Kusano in Sekirei is fully gross, a disgusting pedo-bait character that simply should not exist in the story, period. That shit should absolutely be rallied against.

But then y'all bring up shit like Momo from MHA like it's the same thing. It's fucking not, at all. A post or near post-adolescent character wearing titillating attire in much the same way that comparable real life pop stars do is just not even remotely on the same level as actual children being depicted as sexual viable partners, especially in the context of a story like MHA where the protag is a literal high schooler expressing romantic interest in his age-appropriate peers.

And "glorifying unhealthy relationships" is fine enough critique I suppose but one that hardly applies solely, or even primarily, to manga and anime.

I've been keeping my eye out for anime I can watch with my early teen daughter, and the intersection between good anime and anime that doesn't require ample amounts of jiggle physics is fairly small.

The list is pretty much:

• Mashle
• Dragon Goes House Hunting
• Cells at Work

• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Please start on part one)
• Outlaw Star
• Trigun
• Cowboy Bebop
• Space Dandy
• Panty and Stocking with Garderbelt
• Mob Psycho 100
• Samurai Champloo
• Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

I enjoyed the movie "Your Name".

Working in manga, the amount of titles I have to throw out of consideration for licensing because of these issues is insane

• World Masterpiece Theater
• Studio Ghibli
• ハッスルパンチ, Toei, 1965
• 森の陽気な小人たちベルフィーとリルビット, Tatsunoko Production, 1980
• Anything that was on TV in Europe back when the American cartoon market was dominated by Hanna-Barbera and Filmation, and their uninspired crap.

Can't remember the name. Hero wakes up to find himself in a strange city where the skyscrapers are connected by rope bridges and guarded by strange, masked killers. First couple of episodes get me hooked. Then they bring in a teenage girl and suddenly there are just so many panty shots...

“High-Rise Invasion

edit = thanks to user jaschen for doing the research.

• Oishinbo - about a newspaper food reporter / gourmet
• Hinomaru Sumo - about a high-school sumo wrestler
• Hyouge Mono - about a Sengoku-era aesthete
• Warau Salesman - about a vengeful demon who punishes unhealthy urges
• Kaiji - about a gambling addict (who usually has to develop trust to survive)
• Onihei - about an Edo-period crime investigator

I man how many Americans show would pass that. Doesn't glorify unhealthy relationships covers a lotof stuff.

Trigun (original)

Does Inuyasha promote bad relationships? 🤔

I mean, Inuyasha himself is constantly hung up on his dead ex-girlfriend, and his dead ex-girlfriend still hates Inuyasha for killing her, even though he didn't and she fucking knows it was actually Naraku.

Meanwhile his current maybe girlfriend is only like 16 and he at least a hundred years old.
