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!

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!

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.

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

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago

as always, we must look to Cowboy Bebop

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

Cowboy Bebop is such a grift, making everyone think so highly of anime as a whole.

(Just kidding, kind of, Cowboy Bebop is an awesome anime and I hope one day they make a live action version as that will surely be awesome.)

[-] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Hot take, the Cowboy Bebop live action show is not that bad

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.

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

[-] mo_lave@reddthat.com 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 18 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.

[-] socsa@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I honestly think it's just a good reason to always qualify your preferences. There are dozens of anime for which, if the conversation turned to that anime specifically, or even a major theme, I'd happily talk about it. But most of it really is complete trash. Honestly you can say that about most media which isn't "Christopher Nolan films."

Also, that's not to say complete trash can't be entertaining or have some marginal value. But anime does have a serious problem with sexualizing children, and that definitely keeps it at arms length for me as a general topic.

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.

I think many people would consider erased, magi, and made in abyss to count for this meme.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was debating adding Your Name to my list, but there is the scene where the boy first wakes up in the girl's body. The way I filtered it, if there are any scenes that would be uncomfortable to watch in live action, I didn't add it

Here's some genre keywords for a start:

Adult Cast

Seinen/Josei

Chances are if those shows involve underage sexualization/unhealthy relationships, it doesn't endorse them.

Edit: Also look for anime with kids as target audiences, they should have none of those things. On further introspection, that sums up to "look for shows that ain't shounen or shoujo" lol.

There’s like hundreds of good anime that fit the description (as other comments highlight), you’re just looking in the wrong places if you agree with this meme.

You’re obviously going to find sexualization of teenagers in most series aimed at teenagers.

Okay, now provide the reverse list.

One of the best speeches to lift someone up who feels like they've utterly failed at life is delivered by a 17 year old wearing maid fetish cosplay.

[-] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.net 15 points 1 year ago

Yes but to find them you need to go through a lot of shit which filters out people from watching anime at all which is understandable.

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 13 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.
