I man how many Americans show would pass that. Doesn't glorify unhealthy relationships covers a lotof stuff.
I agree with the sentiment that loli shit is disgusting, but the problem is that so many of you sexless prudes go in looking for shit to be offended by and start projecting onto shit that's fine. Like the character Kusano in Sekirei is fully gross, a disgusting pedo-bait character that simply should not exist in the story, period. That shit should absolutely be rallied against.
But then y'all bring up shit like Momo from MHA like it's the same thing. It's fucking not, at all. A post or near post-adolescent character wearing titillating attire in much the same way that comparable real life pop stars do is just not even remotely on the same level as actual children being depicted as sexual viable partners, especially in the context of a story like MHA where the protag is a literal high schooler expressing romantic interest in his age-appropriate peers.
And "glorifying unhealthy relationships" is fine enough critique I suppose but one that hardly applies solely, or even primarily, to manga and anime.

Thus concludes the exhaustive list of animes I've watched where I didn't have to put up with any sexualization of minors
Castlevania is one of those shows that has no right to be good and yet is just overall great.
Great list, thank! Have you seen children of the whale ? If my memory is correct it could make it on this list. Also I don't recall any weird stuff in Arcane season 1 (does it qualify as an anime though?).
how is unhealthy relationship even defined? would a mutually beneficial but occasionally abusive relationship be considered "unhealthy"?
Working in manga, the amount of titles I have to throw out of consideration for licensing because of these issues is insane
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.
"Erm acturally shes canonically 100,000,000 years old, she just has the body of a 14 year old" -☝️🤓
An no fan service/no upskirt/cleavage shots.
And no racist depictions.
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.
Damn. I don’t watch anime but is this that widespread within the community? lol
i think its somewhat widespread in every community. people tend to make a bigger deal of it than it actually is though (see: this post). for example the underage relationships shown in anime are usually pretty mundane in nature, as no one in anime ever has sex -- well outside of hentai.... but that is hentai...
as no one in anime ever has sex
Seems you have been missing a couple of shows ...
i guarantee i've probably seen way more shows than you as my MAL has over 700+ series watched. the amount of non-hentai shows where the characters actually fornicate, much less on screen, is probably in the single digits between all of those shows watched. I can't actually think of a non-hentai show where the charcters actually do have sex on screen, aside from one -- and that one is between two older high school characters, and you don't actually see anything really objectionable.
if i actually think about it, i think the stuff i've seen in american tv and film is probably worse than that. I think the biggest problem people have with anime is that japense culture is unfamiliar and scary...
feel free to name some shows though.

So you missed more than just a couple of shows. But nice flex.

Redo of Healer, Higehiro and The Fruit of Grisaia have on screen sex.
And then there is implied sex even in tame shows like the middle aged online shopper and the jobless reincarnation iseakai.
And that's just of the top if my head, having watched less than 200 animes.
we're complaining about implied sex now.... as if high school age kids don't actually have sex... seriously get off the damn soap box. go outside. touch the grass.
I swear, anime fans can't keep getting away with their soft-pedophilia.
Fans? My brother in Christ, this is as often as not entirely the artists.
I'll be happily enjoying my Sci-Fi action/comedy slice of life and some anime director thick in the sauce busts into the studio and demands upskirts of the most obviously prepubescent girl in the rooster.
(Mostly) Nobody is asking for this!
Ah yes the unfortunate truth.
Anime:
Hana to Alice: Satsujin Jiken

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'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:
How would parasyte be viewed?
The MC clearly has an unhealthy relationship with his parasyte, seeing how it ate his arm and such.
