Can’t remember the name. Hero wakes up to find himself in a strange city where the skyscrapers are connected by rope bridges and guarded by strange, masked killers. First couple of episodes get me hooked. Then they bring in a teenage girl and suddenly there are just so many panty shots…
“High-Rise Invasion
edit = thanks to user jaschen for doing the research.
Phantom?
As per user jaschen it’s High-Rise Invasion.
You’re thinking of “High-Rise Invasion” Japanese: “Tenkuu Shinpan”
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 find that if you want good anime recommendations, the recommendation must come from someone that doesn’t like anime. Anime fans tend to be really out of touch with certain baselines… like not being an open pervert.(I’ve seen that hentai hoodie, don’t lie.) Also people who don’t like anime can distinguish between “good for an anime” and “good”.
So I offer mine: Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Spirited Away.
Mushishi
Delicious in Dungeon! I think!
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.
My brother saw Colorful and thought that was all anime lol
also ; no violence
It’s short, but I gotchu:
Man in his early 20’s depressed after the sudden death of his parents takes in a stray kitten that was dumped and they look after one another. First half of each episode is from the man’s perspective and the second half is the same events from the cat’s perspective.
Depending on how little violence you want, here’s a few. I’ll put a star on ones that had absolutely no violence (to my recollection)
Steins;Gate (I don’t recall much gore, although some characters do die)
Vivy: Fluorite Eyes Song
Hyouka ⭐
Belle
A Silent Voice (no gore, but references to suicide)
ACCA: 13 Territory Inspection Dept. (one character gets shot at one point and ends up in the hospital. It’s not violent so much as dramatic)
Mushishi ⭐
Your Lie In April (no gore, but there is death)
Sk8 the Infinity ⭐
Bocchi the Rock ⭐
Haibane Renmei (some violence in the first episode, but super worth watching)
Planetes (very little violence)
Noir (buncha people die, but there’s never any blood)
Niea_7
Serial Experiments Lain
Megalo Box (it’s a show about people punching each other, so as violent as you’d expect from that)
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (very little violence)
Kyousougiga
Sonny Boy (very little violence)
Kiki’s Delivery Service ⭐
Everything is violence.
fair point lol
Music or art anime.
Do sports anime count as violence?
Exact reasons I hate anime. It’s just so creepy. There are a few notable exceptions, of course, but I think it’s safe bet that 95% of anime is just awful.
Sturgeon’s Law: 90% of everything is shit.
But there’s so much out there, that remaining 10% is still a lot.
Maybe 95% of what gets popular. 57 out of the 70 animes that I’ve watched would fit on the piece if paper in this meme
your ignorant perception of anime aside, there are more than a few notable exceptions. You clearly haven’t seen much anime. I do love when people who have no idea what they’re talking about are so opinionated though and so confidently incorrect.
Fuck off. I’m allowed to have an opinion.
and i’m allowed to think you’re a fucking moron for having an ignorant fucking opinion.
In addition to the excellent examples posted here that refute this, I want to add “Last Exile”, “Wonderful Days”, and “Chrono Crusade”.
Last Exile <3
I think “refute” is a rather strong word. There exist some good examples posted here (though some of them do stretch the idea what wouid count), but it doesn’t refute OP.
There’s a lot of terrible anime, but there’s also a lot of fantastic anime. There’s a lot of anime.
Just like with books. Or movies. Or videogames. It’s a medium, not a genre.
Not at all “just like.” You don’t have to wade through 90% of literary fiction or Hollywood films in order to find a handful of titles that don’t sexualize children or are otherwise fucking gross.
You do have to do that to find a handful of titles that aren’t displaying blatant racism, misogyny, homophobia and/or transphobia. So, yeah, 90% of Hollywood films are in fact fucking gross.
How does it feel to intentionally make a dishonest false equivalence that you, I, and everyone reading knows is bullshit? I’d feel weird about it, even if I didn’t have a ton of self-respect.
Nah, it’s not BS. Hollywood just doesn’t glorify the same exact types of tripe, but they are just as hit and miss on moral purity. Especially if a vapid, brainless, and underdeveloped plot are considered bad. Then Hollywood might have anime beat on shit vs gold with its mountains of brainless executive-driven scripts…
I don’t know, you tell me how it feels.
Vast majority of anime have sexualization of minors tho
mainstream amine maybe, but there is A LOT of anime out there.
your comment is like saying that Hollywood only ever made super hero movies.
If you’ve been keeping count, I’m curious to see your data.
Only if you go explicitly looking for it, yeah.
Vast majority? Eh, maybe. I watch a crazy amount of anime, and I’ve only had a few of the shows I’m interested in pull that, and typically I just don’t continue watching. The one trope that I really dislike that gets shoehorned into almost any anime is the over-infatuation of a sibling. I’m not talking incest or anything, but for some reason there’s almost always a character who is obsessed with their sister/brother, and it weirds me out. Not enough to stop watching if the anime is otherwise good, but definitely enough to stop watching if the anime is just soso.
Now, oversexualization of adult characters? That’s almost unavoidable. I tend to just ignore it, until I show an anime to someone who hasn’t seen anime before and then I’m hyper aware of it. That’s why when introducing people to anime I usually pick Death Note or Fullmetal Alchemist. These anime have a good dose of the anime goofiness, but very little fanservice, almost none.
Nah… Maybe the vast majority of what you watch but there’s so many out there spanning decades.
Astro Boy. Samurai Pizza Cats. Ergo Proxy. Ninja Scroll. Akira. Ghost in the Shell. Cowboy Bebop. Battle Angel Alita. Yowamushi Pedal.
On and on it goes…
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.
If I wanted to be really nitpicky, they do pay extra attention to Fern’s chest after she grows up. And some of the shots can be a little “male pov.”
This is not a diss to the show. I really, really enjoyed this series and would absolutely recommend it.The loli is not 3000 years old.
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.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReallySevenHundredYearsOld/AnimeAndManga
She’s a 1000 year old adult. At no point is she ever portrayed as anything remotely childlike.
It honestly fucking sucks that just because this trope exists elsewhere, a show like Frieren can’t tell a serious story about what it’s like to outlive everyone around you without being mistaken for this trope.
You could see her as that trope, but I really don’t think she fits the “loli” description. Lord knows I’m not about to google “loli” to check how closely she resembles one, but I’m pretty sure she’s a rare example of an actually short woman
Not to mention, those two dudes are both grown-ass adults. Nothing wrong with a grown man that likes milfs.
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.”
The issue is we’ve encountered so few elves that it’s impossible to say really anything about them as a whole. Maybe that is just how female elves look, maybe frieren and serie are just weird, or something else. But either way, we’re basically just going on what little we’ve been shown which could change later.
Personally though, I don’t actually mind the 1000 years old but looks like a child trope if it’s not using it as an excuse to sexualuzed the character. Which they really aren’t doing here.
And on the other hand, I also don’t think Frieren looks like a kid. This is pretty common, I’ll see people point out a character who’s a bit short and sometimes flat (though that’s not always the case even) and say that they look like a kid while I don’t see it. So I don’t know if it’s me or what. Serie does look more like a kid to me though.
But we get back to the fact that she’s not being sexualuzed anyway, so again, I don’t personally take issue with it.
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.
Yeah I was about to say this he was way older than friren
Serie looks like a child too and he is not older than serie tho.
I mean, we have a sample size of 3 (in the anime anyway), and don’t actually know for certain how old any of them are. The only thing we really know is that Frieren is likely the youngest.
I’m sorry if my critical exploration of anime I enjoy makes you feel defensive but I literally just explained why I think that would be the worst reason. Don’t worry no one’s canceling Freiren, we’re just having a chat.
“Adult elf bodies reflect their own self-image” would be pretty cool. Especially for the monk.
How would parasyte be viewed?
It’s been a while (think decades) since I watched any considerable amount of anime, but off the top of my head, Patlabor, Trigun (possibly problematic), Gundam Wing, Robotech, Solo Leveling.
Stretching the definition of anime: Gargoyles, Star Wars: Rebels and Castlevania (2017)I love me some Patlabor. Really recommended if you want something for adults. Wings of Honneamise should also be on that list.

Uh, I don’t even remember that. It’s been a while since I watched that movie.

I just read up on it and now I remember the scene. No idea what I thought about it previously, though. I understand what the studio was trying to achieve with the attempted rape. It was just an asinine way to go about it.
