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.

Not to mention, those two dudes are both grown-ass adults. Nothing wrong with a grown man that likes milfs.

It could, but people could also see it as an example of the 3000 year old loli trope. So it may not be a good example.

I'm waiting for the canonical reason why the female elves look like children while the one male elf we've met is drawn like a grown man. And I really hope it's not that their brain outpaces their body because then we're in the "5000 year old witch in a child's body" trope.

If this is addressed in the manga, no spoilers plz beyond a simple "Yes, it is."

I’d assume it’s because the only male elf is older? Idk this feels like looking for inappropriate intentions because you want there to be one.

Heavy metal comedy = Detroit Metal City DMC.

Post-apo conspiracy = Ergo Proxy

Alien abduction comedy = Level E

Occult shop = xxxHolic

I can't name anything else matching your criteria

Glorify unhealthy relationships

So many to call out, but to keep it lighthearted, Gintama plays abuse for laughs.

It's a great show btw.

Delicious in Dungeon! I think!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It's got plenty of unhealthy relationships but addressing and untangling those relationships is like, the core of the plot so yeah I think it for sure passes.

Edit: Well actually, it does have one kind of contrived sauna scene between two of the women that feels very fan-servicy but is only a minute or so long. And the chest design of the main "monster" is arguably fan service too (There's even a one-liner gag about it the first time it's seen). But generally pretty tame and both of those moments are related to a crush one of the characters has.

And no child soldier business. Kids don't need to be going to war

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 9 hours ago

Just like with books. Or movies. Or videogames. It's a medium, not a genre.
