This + randomly mentioning the primary love interest is 16 or 17 when the story literally does not change at all if theyre 18 instead

    To play the devils advocate, 16 is the age of consent in Japan (where these anime are made). Pointing out the character is 16/17 is the equivalent of pointing out they're 18. Whether you agree with that morally is a different issue.

    I just don't want them to be in high school, man. Doesn't matter what country high schoolers have zero life experience and shouldn't be thought of as adults.

    I don't disagree with you, to be very very clear, but I find it fascinating how radically things have changed since I was a kid (and I'm just a millennial). We were flooded with messaging, left over from a time when highschool was the last step for most before the job market, about how highschool was where kids became adults. How many films from that time hype sexualized high schoolers?

    Pretty much every anime I like is like that. Interesting story, fresh take, strong art direction, just ignore that one bit where this character is a huge pervert.

    Like, Overlord is one of the least sexual plots ever. Completely unnecessary to drive the plot forward. But of course some of the characters are obsessed with getting that skeleton dick.

    This is how I felt with Time Stop Hero but it was the MC. I got drawn into it because it has interesting usages of time stop, like him stopping time to drag himself miles to a healer after receiving a mortal wound, BUT his favorite thing to do with time stop is to lift up women's skirts and stare at their panties for a few weeks straight. Like dude. You are a reasonably attractive guy who has special powers and does the cool fight. Just ask them.

    Me wanting to recommend a great anime, but remembering the only fan service is in the first episode:

    cough Dandadan

    I remember trying out the manga a long time ago but noped out in the first chapter where the female character almost got raped and it all got portrayed as comedy. If that's the author's hook I have no hope or expectations for the rest of the series.

    Yeah it's the same in the anime. Strapped to a chair, spread eagle with sexy lingerie on while the aliens whip out weird mechanical dicks and say they need to impregnate her.

    Then the scene plays absolutely no role in at least the next two seasons.

    Ironically, as far as I remember, Jujutsu Kaisen does not have this flaw. The main female characters are strong and not sexualized. Or maybe I forgot.

    Okay, so I was going to suggest Disastrous Life of Saiki K because there’s 0 fanservice and the main character is aroace.

    Then, I remembered there is one character who is an incel and trying to get girls is like his whole schtick. However, he doesn’t show up very often though, and he never actually succeeds in doing basically anything inappropriate. So I still highly recommend it.

    The moment when Kimura appears in Azumanga Diaoh..

    More like John Pedophile

    Also are we going to ignore that not only does he have a wife, he has a FINE wife with a child and he still wants to commit infidelity with a high schooler. And it's made for laughs that she is completely unaware she's married to a sexual predator

    Ugh... It's one of my favorites but that part always is awkward

    Fire Force, for a little narrative John Pervert. Cast has magic powers, some have drawbacks. Young Lady in the show has the "Lucky lecher lure" where accidents will happen with her and men where her clothes will fall off and she'll end up in uncomfortable poses (ass or titties pressed into the guy, or poses that expose everything). Neither party wants it to happen and she fucking hates it.

    It made it so uncomfortable to watch I literally stopped because of it. Ruined their pretty good story with really gross, nonconsensual fan service.

    Ah, the Juggernaut scene? I literally dropped it then and there. Infuriatingly tone-deaf scene.

    The best part is that according to the author that character wasn't originally in the story, publishers pressured him to put in some fanservice, and he crated that character out of spite.

    This isn't the first time the author has done this. An earlier show of his, Soul Eater, has a character that is a cat with the ability to turn into a woman. She doesn't have any clothes on when in her human form, and she loves to prank the human characters by transforming at the worst times. Fortunately, she is only the protagonists roommate, so you can go episodes at a time without seeing her, since the gang leaves her at home when they go out on missions.

    I wonder if that was spite fanservice too?

    Hero Academia has a grapeist hero that assaults multiple women.

    Hisoka isn't sexually attracted to little boys. He's sexually attracted to strong fighters. Just because the two main protagonists are little boys doesn't mean--

    Yeah, fuck that, can't do it. Yeah, Hisoka is creepy as fuck. But he's supposed to be creepy as fuck. He, at least, is never supposed to get audience sympathy or trust. He's a creepy groomer and is treated as such by the narrative.

    It's better than Mushoku Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) where the protagonist is a pedophile, gets ostracized in his original life for being one, and then after reincarnating proceeds to indulge his desires with little to no pushback in the series. People find him relatable and misunderstood. That's 100x more egregious than anything Hisoka did.

    Yeah Hisoka's straight up a pedo. So is Rudius (jobless reincarnation). I actually kind of hated mushoku tensei for the weird romance harem quadrangle thing, like it's just the author's barely disguised fetish.
