Art is anything which resonates and makes you feel something. Undoubtedly, video games are art (or have the capacity to be).

Is that gif one punch man?

I'll admit I've seen an episode of that before at a mates and thought it looked like one of the few animes I may actually enjoy. I think the episode I saw he fought a giant crab guy. Is it all like that or are there like a bunch of giant anime titty women in the rest of it?

Heard of it, but never watched it. Still unsure if it's supposed to be an anime or hentai or what.

One Punch Man is good and non-horny. Or at least the first season is. I haven't seen the second but it might have some horny? But overall it's very low on the horny. Just good anime, I highly recommend it. The crab guy is the first episode.

One Punch Man is cool and good.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows (the video game adaptation) not so much. Not in terms of tiddys but just in terms of not being a very fun game

Honestly I'm probably just a big weirdo when it comes to sexual stuff in media. I'm not very keen on sex scenes and overly sexual characters on TV or in films either, unless there's a genuine plot reason which I find pretty rare. So it's not just anime, but even the staunchest defender of the medium (genre?) has to admit that anime has a lot of needlessly sexual waifu type characters. At least the anime you get exposed to in general life/internet and not as an anime watcher/game player.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude and will crank my hog to some porn on the reg, but I kind of like to keep my horny media and general entertainment separate for whatever reason.

look some people aren't really into gratuitously sexualized depictions of characters. and that's perfectly fine. there's no need to force yourself to accept a type of sexuality you aren't comfortable or compatible with.

it's equally fine for me to make a big titty dragon player character, because i want to

I agree but I still thought I should mention it since OPM was specifically talked up as not having a lot of that going on and it happens pretty near to the start.

Haikyuu was really weird about that. It's an anime about hot-blooded teenage boys being passionate about volleyball and so there's not a lot of sexualization of women because there mostly aren't any. But in the 2nd or so episode when the female team manager first appears there's a very gratuitous shot of her rear end and it's so weirdly out of place with everything before and after it.

I think the real issue is that the anime fandom is mostly focused on the bad anime

Tom Clancy was a bestselling author, something like 20 of his garbage novels became bestsellers. The most-watched TV series are Survivor, NCIS, and Big Bang Theory. Two of the highest-grossing movies of all time are Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Most popular doesn't mean best, in fact it often means bland poo poo that achieves wide appeal. So what are the most popular anime? Naruto. Pokemon. Dragonball. Bland poo poo that has achieved wide appeal

It's really good. If you hate Space Marines play the expansion Retribution. It lets you choose from 6 factions but its the same campaign regardless of your choice with some missions flipped. It does have replay value because the races play differently and have their own banter between missions.

I would suggest playing the Orkz at least once. Captain Bloodflagg and his pirate crew are awesome. I especially like his first mate Mr. Nailbrain.

By the end of the campaign you'll be an unstoppable ball of death regardless of your race. I especially the like the Imperial Guard. Having a hero use an autocannon that automatically calls down artillery while chaining an ability that gives your whole army a shitload of buffs and invincibility is a hell of a power fsntasy.

I never played the Eldar because gently caress the Eldar.

tom clancy was a propagandist and a bad novelist but his work has been turned into several good movies and his achievement of immortality by converting himself from a human to a brand before his corporeal death is a noteworthy magic trick that will be remembered for ages.

and since this is a video game thread i will say that several of his ghost recon games are also good

I haven't actually seen many episodes of the anime, I just like Pokemon as a media franchise because the monsters are very cute and funny

However if that's the worst you can come up with from the anime then that's really not that bad at all. Hell, it's downright feminist by anime standards considering it's a scene focused on three women doing their own thing and not just existing for the sake of the male characters

Theres a few non horny animes i can think of. Mushishi and Kaiba come to mind, but they seem to be the exception from the norm. I don't hate anime, I just wish it was better about these things and it doesn't help at all when you ask for non-horny animes and the things recommended to you actually are super horny and the fanbase is too desensitised to realise it and get weirdly defense about it when you mention it
