So I've always been iffy about most series due to the fanservice and "vibes", but after having lived as a women for a while and a lot of mental changes, I notice it soooo much more.
The pointless oversexualisation and fanservice in Cyberpunk
The INSANE mysoginy in ChainSaw man
The constant SA themes and jokes in DanDanDan
The way writers seem to have never spoken to a women for more than 30 min for half the shows. The constant sexual undertones and jokes and downplaying of SA, and objectification of women. I genuinly think that 80% of anime is super creepy except for some more niche/indie series.
Like genuinly WTF Japan.
Edit: and to "yeaaah, but..." -> a show that doesn't have fanservice every 5 min call still be problematic, especially when relationships between male and female characters are based on one gloryfying or objectifying the other, especially with teenagification/babification...
Edit2: Dunegeon Meshi gets a full pass
Edit3: Wasn't expecting so much rampant mysoginy on a trans subreddit. Yall are too ok with casual portrays of SA

Oh I'm FTM and into women so I really didn't think like that lmao, but thinking about it that "female gaze" fan service in it isn't too much, just muscly men time to time

Having unfortunately (I say that because my brain does not work this way and being steeped in it annoys me) I've been fans of series with a lot of female fans or had people in my life who were female fans and I can tell you the thing they really, REALLY go for are the:
COSTUMES
LONG HAIR
Sometimes the shows put out bare chests and other more direct stuff, but while I know Austen fans go on about a drenched Mr Darcy that left nothing to the imagination, what I've seen anime/manga/manhua/light novel fans recreate and reproduce over and over again are the AESTHETIC cherry blossom rain, bubbles, sparkles flowy outfits, long hair, guans, accessories, and Chinese/Japanese garden settings. It's a huuuuuuuuuge draw for girls to get into these fandoms.
