Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I find that if you want good anime recommendations, the recommendation must come from someone that doesn't like anime. Anime fans tend to be really out of touch with certain baselines... like not being an open pervert.(I've seen that hentai hoodie, don't lie.) Also people who don't like anime can distinguish between "good for an anime" and "good".

So I offer mine: Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Spirited Away.

I don't watch a lot of anime, but watched the devil is a part timer recently and yeah.. It was weird and put me off a bit

Gundam Wing was a favourite of mine growing up.

Glorify unhealthy relationships

So many to call out, but to keep it lighthearted, Gintama plays abuse for laughs.

It's a great show btw.

"Anime to watch with my early teen daughter" probably doesn't include Berserk. And Ghost in the Shell isn't fanservice exactly, but definitely has sexual themes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Your comment is completely irrelevant, OP didn’t mention anything about a daughter wtf

-Hey, do you know any Japanese food you could recommend?

-Sure. What are you looking for?

-Anything, as long as it doesn't have rice or soy in it.

-... here you go.

Asking for anime without the idolization of young female beauty is just entitled ethnocentrism. It's part of Japanese culture. Unless you are living in Japan, you don't get a say in their culture. Asking for art that only displays scenarios that fit your normative views is an entitled misunderstanding of the purpose of art/craft, both as an expression and as a product. If you need your world filtered so you experience only things that reinforce your worldview, you might as well move to a compound in the woods, because that's the only way you're going to avoid all the people who don't share your beliefs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

you're right, but that doesn't make it ok

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly. There are a lot of things I find uncomfortable about other cultures, but I know I can't force my beliefs onto other cultures. They have to deal with that themselves.

Young female beauty = 5 - 16 years old female = minors
