#Haibane Renmei

Thus concludes the exhaustive list of animes I watched where I didn't have to put up with any sexualization of minors

If you only take one anime from this list, let it be Mushishi

I wish I'd seen Haibane Renmei by the time I initially made this list. Watch that too!

Now try and find that but not somehow linked to high school.

Snow White with the Red Hair is my favorite hidden gem.

• main character is a strong, independent, brilliant woman. She isn't abrasive or obnoxious, just confident in who she is. Her success in the story is entirely from her own efforts.
• love interest is a well rounded character, not an Everyman stand in. His own strengths and weaknesses are plot relevant and he grows independently of the mc.
• the romance progresses at a steady pace and isn't a will they/won't they for two seasons.
• romance is one of many plot lines, not the only one. It's also slice of life and medieval politics.
• and of course, everyone's adults. Everyone has normal body proportions and healthy personalities.

OP you just wanted anime suggestions by creating this post didn’t you?

(Me too that’s why I saved this post hehe)

Anybody else mistake this subreddit for antimemes

Here's some genre keywords for a start:

Adult Cast

Seinen/Josei

Chances are if those shows involve underage sexualization/unhealthy relationships, it doesn't endorse them.

Edit: Also look for anime with kids as target audiences, they should have none of those things. On further introspection, that sums up to "look for shows that ain't shounen or shoujo" lol.

And if you want some fan service that fits these requirements and is still wholesome I give you Goldenboy.

There’s like hundreds of good anime that fit the description (as other comments highlight), you’re just looking in the wrong places if you agree with this meme.

You’re obviously going to find sexualization of teenagers in most series aimed at teenagers.

Okay, now provide the reverse list.

One of the best speeches to lift someone up who feels like they've utterly failed at life is delivered by a 17 year old wearing maid fetish cosplay.

Holy shit there actually ARE SOME!?!

Monoga-

So.... every hentai?

Why am I not seeing One Piece in here? It sexualizes nami and Robin but they are both over 18. There aren't really relationships at all in the show unless you count boa hancock but that's pretty tame and not a relationship
