    I don’t even bother with anime any more unless someone else confirms there is no pedo content. With how much there is I’ve started to wonder if execs in the light novel/manga/anime industry force their writers to include it to normalize it.

        Maybe check out Michiko and hatchin Durarara Gangsta Darker than black I stopped watching anime because even though a lot were geared toward a younger audience, there was still some like ghost in the shell or other types that made it interesting. I wish there was a website that kept tally of new ones to bother checking out

        Serial Experiments Lain

        Uhhh…you might wanna rethink that one.

        Not running down the anime, it’s one of my favorites. But it has some questionable moments. And though those do have context, some people who are sensitive to the topic of this post may find them uncomfortable to watch.

          I don’t recall any sexualization of minors in SEL… Can you point out a scene? I’m generally pretty strict about what goes on that list, and am always happy to prune it

            It has been a fuck long time since I’ve watched it in its entirety. But there is a scene with a middle schooler(?) …I think all the main characters are middle schoolers… Anyhow, she has a moment of sexual awakening and is literally feeling herself out and gets blackmailed by the digital boogeyman of the series.

            Mental note, gotta rewatch that show again some time.

        Some of those are from both before and after my “at least try everything” time frame but you clearly know where its at based on the ones I’ve seen. Great picks with genre variety. I still think about the definitive fight scene in moribito.

        I’m finally setting up my living room and plan to rewatch natsume yuujinchou and then the seasons I haven’t seen. Hopefully its still clean in regards to the post topic. Also trying to subject some friends to the depressing classics.
