    Here’s my problem with anime: I keep getting burnt on recommendations.

    Anime fans do not share my distaste for sexualized child-coded characters. Which would be tolerable if they would even acknowledge the CONCEPT.

    It’s a dice toss whether the anime is a Cowboy Bebop or something with loli side characters halfway through season 2, and I’m just rarely up for spending the time to do that research for a recommendation.

    And “Achshually, these are just drawings not real people”, “umm, she’s really a 1000 year old dragon who just chooses/got stuck with a small human body” fuckery just tires me.

      Solo Leveling - early 20s male protag, action sci-fi, no romance subplots atm

      The Faraway Paladin- Fantasy adventure, found family

      Claymore-women/monster hybrids fighting bigger monsters, only one male mc and he’s absent for over half the episodes

      That’s what I can come up with that doesn’t have chibi, loli, or romance. They’re all on crunchyroll with good English dubs
