fmab is good, but kind of libs out with the ending. the series's politics of disability are better than a lot but still end with basically every disabled character magically finding a cure based on the souls of tortured innocents, and we don't see the heroic war criminals face consequences, though there's room for interpretation on that one
ghibli stuff.... i've heard people say the wind rises is too sympathetic to the imperialist japanese warplane designer but also i know miyazaki got yelled at by all the conservatives because it was too critical of imperial japan so maybe it's fine. miyazaki said some kind of weird shit about one of his underaged characters tits iirc?
i'm not out to cancel any anime here, the ones i've talked about are all good i'm just trying to think of problems in things i mostly like

You're right though, anime does have a lot of problems and we can't just ignore that. I don't think it's wrong to point out it's flaws.
