    I’ve been keeping my eye out for anime I can watch with my early teen daughter, and the intersection between good anime and anime that doesn’t require ample amounts of jiggle physics is fairly small.

    The list is pretty much:

    • Mashle
    • Dragon Goes House Hunting
    • Cells at Work

      “Anime to watch with my early teen daughter” probably doesn’t include Berserk. And Ghost in the Shell isn’t fanservice exactly, but definitely has sexual themes

    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

    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.

      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.

          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.

    • great pretender
    • moriarty the patriot
    • 91 days
    • nichijou
    • dororo (ok this one might be a reach cuz its been a while, but it made me cry)

      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.

    -Hey, do you know any Japanese food you could recommend?

    -Sure. What are you looking for?

    -Anything, as long as it doesn’t have rice or soy in it.

    -… here you go.

    Asking for anime without the idolization of young female beauty is just entitled ethnocentrism. It’s part of Japanese culture. Unless you are living in Japan, you don’t get a say in their culture. Asking for art that only displays scenarios that fit your normative views is an entitled misunderstanding of the purpose of art/craft, both as an expression and as a product. If you need your world filtered so you experience only things that reinforce your worldview, you might as well move to a compound in the woods, because that’s the only way you’re going to avoid all the people who don’t share your beliefs.
