My personal favorite for flawed reasons is Madoka because I was there for the live reactions to the infamous episode and it was magical watching everyone lose their shit. It was also my re-introduction to anime after being shamed out of it for liking sailor moon as a kid.
You sound like a person with good taste in general (and very polite) do you have any recs that might not be triggering?
In order to be fair: I have a rec in case you haven’t checked it out already. From another world is a show that treats homosexuality as normal because it is actually mandated in the young people. I know that’s kinda weird, but it pulls it off.
Cheers
Sorry, but I can't think of anything to recommend right now. Honestly I've been a bit bogged down with assignments to watch much recently.
Good luck with those assignments! I doubt I can be any help, but post here and I’m sure a lot of us are gonna try to be helpful. Wreck that school shit comrade!
