I’m a casual anime fan, my main references being Ghibli, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bepop etc, in general, I like good art and good scenario. So I want to follow discussions about this type of anime.
However, I am very uncomfortable at the countless anime that sexualize minors (and minor looking supposedly adults) or over sexualized women.
Is there a community for this interest? I am too much of a casual to animate such community myself.
Edit: thank you everyone for the recommendations, I will look them up.
I don’t know about a community, but if you’re looking for suggestions, I can think of a few off the top of my head.
But anime, especially anything based on Shonen which is aimed at adolescent boys, is likely to have some “fanservice”. Watch 5 minutes of any episode of One Piece, and you might assume it’s porn from the outfits and figures. Even Cowboy Bebop has a few lingering scenes of scantily clad women. But these are great shows if you can get comfortable with the sexuality on display.
There’s plenty of great anime out there that isn’t shounen and doesn’t have that sort of fanservice though! Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken comes to mind, or City the Animation if you’d prefer something more recent.
Oh absolutely. My point was that sometimes the sexy bits come out of (seemingly) nowhere.
That’s certainly true. I remember watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood with my roommates. It was their first anime. Nothing like that for dozens of episodes, and then suddenly Winrey’s taking her shirt off.
