    They need to make more anime about hot & horny MILFs to combat this shit. I'm only 1/4 joking btw. This shit was brought about with media normalization of creepy pedo shit, so there needs to be a counter-normalization of fine-ass milfs.

    :volcel-judge: I do not watch anime by the way. :monke-ruserious:

      Problem is that the hot and horny MILFs will target minors 90% of the time.

        Time to make office and workplace comedies where the milf boss seduces the grown man to work 80 hours a week and drink with her after work

          any consentual romance between 2 clearly defined adults would be a breath of fresh air for the industry

            This is why Spy x Family rocks. Just two adults pretending to be married and pretending to love each other while actually slowly falling in love with each other.

              I really need to start in on this one it sounds like what I've been looking for.

                It's just wonderful. The main character is a child and she isn't sexualised in the slightest. The animation is very pretty. It takes place in "Berlint" in what is clearly East Germany during the Cold War, life there is portrayed as exceeding normal, and the villains are a right wing nationalist party that wants war with the West. And the vibe is just infectious.

      Saw this post, then saw a post on Reddit about an anime where the main character is the only person in the world who prefers MILFs. Unfortunately, it also has this weird slavery thing going on, so you don't got to give it to em.

      Currently middle aged and extremely frustrated that there's very little anime explicitly for adults. I just want characters in their thirties doing stuff ffs. Like half the genres in anime and manga, especially some of the romance and slice of life stuff, just doesn't exist in western shows and movies. I love stories where people just kind of live their lives and there's no plot and you just get to go along with them for a little while and that's almost unheard of in western movies, shows, or literature. Like there are legit maybe half a dozen genuine low stakes slice of life sci fi books in English and three of them are by the same author.

      The closest you can get, for the most part, are sitcoms and rom coms, both of which tend to be absolutely gross in how they depict relationships and sexuality. Like seriously just give me one Hayao Miyazaki movie about divorcees in their 40s meeting and falling in love and I'll shut up.

        I actually feel similarly (though not slice of life stuff; I'm really not into those); it's getting kind of annoying that most characters are teenagers. I'm not saying I need to see a character pay his taxes or go to his office job, but adults don't think or act like teenagers, and you can have characters who are married with kids (I don't think I know of any anime with a protagonist who's an adult, married and has kids). The story dynamic is just different.
