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!

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I definitely second Kino's journey. Fantastic little slice of life.

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

[–] senkora@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 8 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

[–] Wilker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

K-On! is pretty safe. mostly just a wholesome slice-of-life to vibe to.

i'm pondering wether i should argue for Re:Zero on the list or nah. it does feature some very bad relationships caused by the protagonist, but it isn't pictured as anything positive.. actually it's pretty debatable in some scenes involving the character Rem, or the very last episode of season 1.

i'd rather keep my distance from No Game No Life though

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

Death parade is such a beautiful commentary on death and what it means to be alive, while speaking on the complexity of being simple emotional creatures with complex motivations.

It's what I think makes a good anime. A story bigger or wilder than someone could tell simply through text that manages to get the audience a new feeling or perspective.

But that same thought process is exactly why for every death parade we get at least 1 Eromanga Sensei. When throwing everything against that proverbial wall you get some wild shit too.

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 mideival politics.
and of course, everyone's adults.

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

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 14 points 1 year ago (2 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 them.

[–] iminahurry@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

Agreed.

Everyone has a comfort level and/or tolerance on what they can watch. Generally speaking, they're free to look away from content that they're uncomfortable, like the aforementioned example of Death Note with how the women are portrayed there. I have my own categories of content that I'm too uncomfortable to watch, and I'm sure it's different from what you find uncomfortable.

Again, it's not exclusive to anime. Personally, I find James Bond movies' (massively popular with quite the cultural cache) portrayals of women more problematic if applied to real life, but it's a work of fiction and we're supposed to know better. My comfort level does not preclude me from watching those as well as Death Note, nor I'm supposed to assume watchers and fans of those endorse all the themes involved in there.

Some critical thinking from us should be employed as we watch those things especially if sensitive themes are included. Where does it lie in the prescriptive vs. descriptive writing spectrum? Is it meant to teach the audience that something is good or bad (the should/shouldn't)? Does it describe a particular situation within the internally-consistent rules of the in-universe world (the what, where, when, how, and why)? etc. This applies regardless of the medium.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True. To me, it's the popular perception of anime that's the problem. Most people associate it with the op's topics, even if that's not everything. There's some critical point where there's enough weird stuff that it gets rounded up into "all anime is weird".

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 vale some marginal value. But anime does have a serious problem with sexualizing children.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

For me it is pop idols, French maids, and school arcs. They have such an obsession with pop idols and French maid outfits they force it in anime that don't require it and school arcs or series can get tiring with repeated tropes.

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.
