Oh yes, I miss mature characters in modern animes. I’m so tired of stupid Lolis 😭
80’s anime had believable characters that didn’t all look like they were 10-12 years old. Cyber City Oedo, Robot Carnival, Patlabor…great stuff.

This is even worse with anime! Back in the 90’s anime had men and women doing awesome shit. There was sex and violence. There were characters I could relate to.
Now it’s all teens. Spineless boys who piss themselves at the sight of a female. Everything is PG. No badasses or relatable characters (unless you’re 12 I guess).
I love the medium but I hate that 95% of the time the target audience is children.

Tbh I never got Anime or Mangas at all. So over the top and weird. The opposite of relatable, always

Can you suggest some 90s anime with sex and violence?
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Cowboy Bebop and the Ghost in the Shell movies are great places to start.
Anyway, it’s not so much a change in what’s being produced as what’s being imported to the US. There was a good mix of shonen and seinen at first, but shonen sells more merch so we get a lot of it now. Just watch stuff tagged as seinen if you want more mature themes or more sex and gore.

Black Lagoon is sooo bad though. Cowboy and GitS are GOATs.

I thought I was responding to a comment about comics lol
Yeah anime Wolverine was not very grusome. Even popular American anime like the Simpsons, and Loonytoons were strictly cartoonist violence.
