Watched the first episode of Sasaki and Peeps. It’s really good. If you’re into fantasy-type stuff I’d recommend checking it out and it’s even better if you go into it blind. Worth noting that the first episode is double-length

Don't worry there's an even younger girl in episode 3 It's also been pretty much instantly downhill from episode one, it seems like a show that's 80% premise and cute bird.

Watched the first 4 or so episodes and they have a total of 5-6 young girls all interested in the main character in one way or another. It is garbage. You have a guy maneuvering an other world fantasy conflict and a underground psychic war. Why is that not interesting enough? Why add this creep poo poo into it?

Japan is leading the world in elaborate excuses to be a pedophile. The Japanese need another world where the rules are literally medieval to be a pedophile. Americans went to Little St. James. e: the new episode of Dungeon Meshi is good enough I'm thinking of rewatching it. This is about the time the manga started hitting its stride too.

Apparently the 'reincarnated as a sword' anime cuts a fair chunk of the creepy underage fan service poo poo out so I'm tempted to watch it, can anyone c/d that

Just don't. It's not that good. The best part is at the beginning when they kill the slavers and it's kind of interesting for a mid Isekai dungeon romp but it's just not that good. The anime does play everything platonically, but at the end of the day it's still a show that fixates on a 13 year old girl. It doesn't cross the line but you know it's there. I watched it hoping it was going to be more of an anti-slavery story, and it immediately becomes dungeon guild adventure isekai after the first episode.

The only part of Sasaki & Peeps's first episode I liked was the downtrodden salaryman protagonist, and I already get those vitamins from reading Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You so I peaced out. Glad I did I guess, but go read Smoking. It's a cute will they won't they romcom. Also, the love interest isn't a teenager!

Which means I watched all of it but I'm pretty open about having trash taste anyway. Can confirm that as far as I recall there wasn't any creepy fanservice of the underage protagonist which already puts it above like 90% of isekai, sadly enough. They need to make one where a true enlightenment era American scientist, writer and patriot gets sent to another world after a misshap during a kite and lightning storm experiment and proceeds to abolish the monarchy and bang all the ara ara milfs in sight.

if you want to watch a currently airing anime with lots of terrible over-sexualizing fan-service there's even a good option for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIRO9Hk5ACs

If you want to watch an anime that's anti-slavery it's pretty much just One Piece and Vinland Saga.

Vinland Saga is so loving good. The manga was already one of the GOATs and the anime elevates it. It's great that the second season has struck a chord with a lot of new fans, even if I have to see people on my twitter timeline drawing fanart of their OCs marrying Thorfinn.

apothecary diaries has some interesting text about slavery. it's a different social context and slavery-institution but the main character is legally owned, and actively reflecting on how a legally owned woman keeps herself safe, for as much as i've seen of the program so far.

The Oldest Man posted:why are you talking about this like it's hypothetical lol Because I hadn’t watched beyond the first episode at the time. And now that I have I feel like it’s a mischaracterization of the show. Like, yeah, there are underage characters in the show (the neighbor, the coworker, the viscount’s daughter), but none of them are sexualized at all and there is exactly zero romantic subplot going on with any of them. The only characters that show him (mild) affection are the neighbor (because he chats with her sometimes and gives her food) and the coworker (because he looks out for her on the job) and the protagonist intentionally keeps them at a distance because he thinks it would be creepy if they were any closer to him Maybe I’m missing something but nothing in the show seems to cross the line of platonic. I dunno if the manga goes into gross pervert territory at some point but the show seems fine so far

Goons have never done this and you can take their media opinions as being gospel truth

The scene in the screenshots is shot to make her look like a psycho and the protagonist is weirded out. He’s also weirded out when he finds out his coworker is 16. Them going to dinner isn’t depicted as a romantic thing but again him being invited out for food with a coworker as thanks for helping her out in a spot of trouble. Literally the next time he talks to his boss he asks if he can be assigned to work with someone else. I can see how you can read it the way you are but it’s really a stretch

Buck Wildman posted:yeah sports anime is some serious fun because they're so drat intense about it that's a good idea I find that sports (or other competitive activities) manga/anime is generally pretty accurate to the experience of "doing a competitive activity in high school." When I did cello/symphony, it was commonly known who "the top people" were and where everyone stood in comparison to everyone else. You would see gradual improvements in both yourself and others. You would go to training camps and do performances (in sports this would just be matches) and stuff. I imagine it's even more true for sports, where you directly compete against people, instead of just seeing them perform and realizing they're better or worse than you. Real life as an adult isn't nearly as fun or interesting  It would own if you could just spend your entire life doing stuff like that.

I dunno what to say, bud. None of the characters seem romantically interested in him. Even his neighbor being weirdly jealous of his coworker is implied to be an unhealthy attachment because of her own lovely home life
