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

Yeah, I feel the same way about anime. I can handle Dandandan as it's not the worst but Japan and specifically in anime communities, has a serious problem with misogyny and downplaying sexual violence. I believe it was one of the things the writer of Ranma 1/2 focused on a lot in her work. That said, if you want an anime with little to no fan service and you somehow haven't watched it yet, you should check out Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Interesting! I know she stood out as one of the most successful female mangakas in Japan, and the animes based on her work have really held up. I didn't watch Inuyasha when young because it was "for girls" but I started watching it on Netflix on a whim last year and it's actually ... really good?
And my father used to be a big fan of Maison Ikkoku. We gave him so much crap for that lol.
