...cultural differences...

Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show

I mean there's some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.

Just look at Stroheim from JoJo's

It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.

Okay, he's German. Uh, and he's in the army. And it's WW2.

...Are we going to address the elephant in the room?

Nope, he's just the new bro, here we're all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.

I mean he foolishly releases the bad guys because he's arrogant, then he talks a big game and gets his ass kicked repeatedly.

I mean, I haven't seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There's a lot of shit I don't pick up on tho.

The national government in Japan is a pile geriatrics who don't want to do anything. Pretty much every prefecture(think state or provenance) raised the age of consent to 18 a long time ago.
