If you have written off anime completely, that's fair, but if you can still appreciate the medium, I recommend checking out the examples I gave (especially ping pong, I can't stress enough how good it is, even if you don't care about sports at all). I think it's definitely still everywhere (Fire Force comes to mind, as well as the loli that I feel is completely out of place, gross, and unnecessary in One Punch Man), but I also feel like there are finally high quality main stream offerings for fans of the medium that don't feel like they have to participate in that shit. I don't feel like this was common, or even possible really, in the previous decades. Probably one of the best anime of all time, very critically acclaimed, and zero sexualization of anyone (beyond some of the other kids making jokes about how the main character is dating his coach because they spend so much time together, but in my view that's not comparable).Īll of these came out after 2010, all of these were popular without having to include fan service, all of these are some of the best anime that's been made in my opinion. An anime about high school girls just being kids, they aren't sexualized at all (unless you consider the main character of Turning Red to be sexualized for drawing the guy she thought was attractive). Although it does have the problem of being almost fascist propaganda. I don't think I remember any 'fan service' in this. There are maybe 2 scenes in 3 seasons that I feel are problematic (and one of those is making fun of fan service in anime).Īttack on Titan. It's only been post 2010 that I feel like you can have a critically acclaimed and mainstream anime that is (almost completely) free of fan service. I could name a million others that overtly sexualize women for the titillation of the male audience, but we'd be here all day. Naruto, Dragonball, One Piece, Bleach, Evangelion, FMA: Brotherhood, Gurren Lagann, they all have sexualized children. In all the anime that people consider great, and the anime that was most popular, you could not escape over-sexualized women, non-consensual groping (oops it was an accident isn't that funny), or child sexualization. Almost all anime pre-2010 had some level of fan service. I feel like the complete opposite is true. You know it’s bad when you want to recommend an anime to someone and you have to give a bunch of caveats like “No, it doesn’t have sexualized children, no it doesn’t have a character who’s entire joke is ‘haha sexual predator’, no it’s not about a guy who was transported into another world and now he has slaves, no it’s not about revenge porn.” Then you have shit that isn’t made for that purpose, or even might have something in it that’s specifically in it that directly goes against it, and still you’ll have these people out here just making it about their waifus. A lot of that shit is made for the purpose of dudes who wanna look at drawn characters who just happen to look like children. It’s not just innocuous stuff either, or like, oh you just don’t get the culture. Unfortunately, it’s also over saturated with a bunch of weirdo shit that makes you go “Eww, someone had to draw this”. It’s one of those things where there’s really good anime out there, some of the best stories, oftentimes with unique art forms that stand out.
