This includes the exhaustive list of animes I watched where I didn’t have to put up with any sexualization of minors

I just finished Fullmetal Alchemist for the fourth time, and ED3 sexualizes Winry. I guess they had to get the creepy anime viewers to keep watching.

But it doesn’t fit at all. It’s just plain weird. If I had one complaint, that would be it. The rest is fantastic!

Show threadstarman2112Sep 3, 2023
Yeah, if it were live action, it would be pretty uncomfortable to watch. That being said, when I think “sexualization,” I think of A Certain Magical Index or Gate. If the worst a show has to offer is a few seconds of bad camera angle in one of the end credit sequences, it’s miles ahead of the norm

I haven’t heard Mushishi from anyone else in a long time and that’s a shame because that shit is art.
Show threadImpossibilityBoxSep 3, 2023

I am exercising extreme control to not create a couple of dozen extra accounts across multiple instances to create an apparent wave of support for your dicision to include Mushishi because #OMG #MUSHISHI #IS #THE GOAT.

My wife once described it as a “Warm hug and a heavy sigh during a tough season of your life.”

Can be super melancholy at times and emotionally challenging but as soon as you either catch your breath / dry your tears / re-evaluate your life / heavy sigh a couple dozen time / sit in the dark in complete silence (episode dependent you immediately want to dive into the next episode. Even if you are unsure why.

Music: Beautiful Story: Beautiful Art: Beautiful

If you are looking for an anime that will make you think, feel, and wonder, then Mushishi is the one for you. It is a rare gem that deserves to be watched by anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of life. Mushishi is not just an anime, it is an experience.

#Caveat: Mushishi may not be for everyone. Some people may find it too slow-paced, episodic, lacking in action or prefer more character development or continuity between episodes. Valid criticisms all, but I think they are outweighed by the strengths of the anime. Mushishi is not meant to be a typical show with a linear plot or flashy attention grabbing sequences.

It is meant to be a slice of life with a touch of magic. It is meant to be enjoyed at your own pace and with an open mind. If you can appreciate that, then you will love Mushishi as much as I do.

Show threadstarman2112Sep 3, 2023

It is so good, but don’t expect it to be overwhelmingly amazing. The first word I would use to describe it is calm. The reason they’re so extremely excited to see it mentioned is because it’s so very rarely talked about, in part because the calm and deliberate atmosphere doesn’t lend itself to a lot of clip compilations or “Favorite Moments in Anime” discussions.

This video does it justice, I think.

The Haunting Calm of Mushishi

Show threadImpossibilityBoxSep 3, 2023

Yes, it absolutely does it justice.

It even does a good job of capturing a bit of the Mushishi vibe in and of itself.

And yes you are spot on the nose with why I got so excited. It is RARE that Mushishi pops up in conversations.

Show threadstarman2112Sep 10, 2023
Have you seen Haibane Renmei? I just finished it the other night and it seems to fit in with everything you listed about Mushishi. I absolutely adored it, and it hit exactly the same strings in my heart that Mushishi did. Just know that it’s a bit more emotionally heavy than Mushishi. You never have to linger on the depression that Ginko comes into contact with, but you have to go through the depression in Haibane Renmei right alongside the characters.

You should add Kino’s Journey to that list (both the old one and the 2017 remake/sequel).

One Punch Man is one of my all time favorite animes but Tatsumaki is absolutely sexualized. It doesn’t matter that she’s technically legal, she’s still drawn and portrayed as a little girl, definitely doesn’t belong on this list.

Show threadstarman2112Sep 3, 2023

I learned my lesson way back when I watched Gate. Never visit fan pages, if there’s sexualization of minors in the show.

I went into the forum expecting other people to share my opinion that the show would have been much better without the 970 year old demigod trapped in the body of a 12 year old girl. I did not expect that character to be everyone’s favorite. Made me feel sick.

A Silent Voice

Is this not regarded as glorifying unhealthy relationships?

spoiler

The deaf girl falls in love with a boy who bullies her so much that her mom takes her out of the school because of the bullying - which includes her bleeding and having a permanent scar, and the repeated destruction of her expensive medical equipment. She confesses her love to the creep even before he apologizes (which he only does after he’s been ostracized for years for bullying her). She also chooses to hang around (even alone) with another girl who is actively still bullying her.

Show threadstarman2112Sep 8, 2023

For your first point, I don’t know if that’s unhealthy. >!They were small children when he bullied her, clearly not capable of making informed decisions about what’s good and bad. It’s been a while since I saw it, but I feel like I remember him making an effort to be a positive part of her life for a while before she developed feelings for him.!<

For the second part, I don’t know if that’s glorifying. I don’t remember the movie trying to make you feel good about her hanging out with someone who’s actively bullying her, the way something like the Violet Evergarden movie tries to make you feel good about >!a man and his former child slave reuniting and starting a relationship.!<
