MODERATORS
Amphibia and The Owl House
both very good animes. 👍
Working in manga, the amount of titles I have to throw out of consideration for licensing because of these issues is insane
Stopped watching anime because of that. Gone are the days of naruto and detective conan
ALL of The Pokémon anime(s)
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.
I thought about this a lot the other day.
Its "justification" is in that era girls go married off even younger than that.
That monk dude has to turn away a girl who's.. 14(?) after she asked him to take her with him and that she'd bear his children.
Personally, in that setting I think it's fine as long as they are not like fanservice to the viewer and its actually plot relevant. The monk asking her originally is more for humor as it was clearly shown as ridiculous and when it was more "legal" he took it more seriously and shot it down. That kind of humor is definitely a product of its era (wasn't the age of consent in Japan like 12 until less than a few decades ago?)
Also regarding Kagome, this anime was written by a woman and one of the main demographics is schoolgirls who want their heart to flutter by imagining themselves in a pseudo-isekai. Not saying it makes it right but it personally doesn't bother me because I get why stories like that exist coughTwilightcough
EDIT: The constitution set it to 13. But most prefectures up-ed it to 16 in recent decades apparently
This plot summary is not exactly encouraging me to get into it.
- 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
- Nichijou - Surrealist sketch comedy. Art-style doesn't give highschoolers weird proportions.
- Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome - They are all adults.
I swear, anime fans can't keep getting away with their soft-pedophilia.
That’s kind of why they are anime fans
But Australia has increased import scrutiny on hentai so that’s a plus
Fans? My brother in Christ, this is as often as not entire the artists.
I'll be happily enjoying my Sci-Fi action/comedy slice of life and some anime director thick in the sauce busts into the studio and demands upskirts of the most obviously prepubescent girl in the rooster.
(Mostly) Nobody is asking for this!
No psycho pass fans?

Thus concludes the exhaustive list of animes I've watched where I didn't have to put up with any sexualization of minors
This is an excellent list, Planetes is one I keep coming back to, I always have about it too anyone who will listen!
I'll have to check out some of these others I haven't seen.
Another good one is Monster, but it does have problematic relationships
I loved the Planetes manga, too bad it was so short
Castlevania is one of those shows that has no right to be good and yet is just overall great.
Lain
Isn't the outro for that a naked Lain, who is in middle school?
