Great list, thank! Have you seen children of the whale ? If my memory is correct it could make it on this list.
Also I don’t recall any weird stuff in Arcane season 1 (does it qualify as an anime though?).
Nope, but it’s on my watch list now. Top two recommendations on MAL are Land of the Lustrous and From the New World? I’ll watch it as soon as I finish Kurau
Yeah, they’re on the list but I understand it’s a long list
Loved em. Controversial opinion: I preferred '03 over Brotherhood. They made stronger narrative decisions, I prefer its Pride reveal over Brotherhood’s Wrath reveal (happening like 2/3rds into the show gave you a lot more time to build up trust in him before the reveal), and most of all I liked their homunculus origins better
Doesn’t violet ever garden have that weird relationship between the underage girl main character and the army guy (my apologies I haven’t see in it a while)
If you watch the english dub, it’s ambiguous enough to be interpreted as a father/daughter relationship. That’s also why I recommend skipping the movie

Thus concludes the exhaustive list of animes I’ve watched where I didn’t have to put up with any sexualization of minors
Castlevania is one of those shows that has no right to be good and yet is just overall great.

I was looking for someone to mention Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop.
What are your thoughts on Fullmetal Alchemist? I personally adore FMA: Brotherhood and I think it meets these criteria.
Yeah, they’re on the list but I understand it’s a long list

Kotaro lives alone? Thought it was quite lovely.
It is now on my watch list
How has everyone forgotten about Gundam?
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

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to get into anime (more than just DBZ), but I’m never sure where to start
Isn’t the outro for that a naked Lain, who is in middle school?
damn that’s a good list. I recognize some of those names
Add Onihei (iirc)
It’s on my watch list now, will probably make it onto this list next time the topic comes up
“doesnt sexualise underage character”
you sure this the list you wanted to paste here?
Do you have any disagreements?
Edgerunners had that creep grooming David by sending him porn as a minor, and its just glossed over.
thematically appropriate for the setting. Night city is fucking horrible, and no one should pretend that it isn’t.
also, i just watched that, like, within the last couple hours recently.
The relationship between lucy and david feels kinda forced, but other than that, 9/10 no notes.
Gives three notes, claims no notes at the end.
*no additional notes
The question isn’t things being thematically appropriate. The question is animes that don’t sexualize minors, and Edgerunners fails at that.
Been a minute since I watched it. You talking about the BD producer? Because that shit super ain’t glorified lmao
David’s ripperdoc shares porn with him.
