I had gotten into One Piece briefly back in college, and had pretty much forgotten about it. I think it was around the Skypeia arc that it became difficult to find episodes, and I just gave up on it.
In the meantime, I graduated, got married, bought a house in the suburbs, and had kids who are now elementary school age.
Then I heard about the live action show and remembered how much I loved that show nearly 20 years ago. I enthusiastically recommended it to my wife, explaining that there had been 1000 episodes for us to watch as a family. I remembered it being fun, wholesome, maybe a little violent at times, but let’s watch it!
Oh right, the boobs. I had forgotten about the boobs.
and the 2 inch waists
like 99% of animes? yea
i mean it’s embarassing to even recommend a majority of animes, because of how absurdly they portray women and how excessive/creepy they are with the fan service. it’s hard to even watch when the characters are just completely objectified and the creators go out of their way to overly sexualize them. it’s just completely normalized in the anime community and it’s disappointing to say the least – it definitely doesn’t help the image of people who say they like anime, it’s why even a lot of mega weebs won’t be caught saying they like anime as a genre. just the concept and extent of waifu culture in anime communities is icky…
as for non-anime, i think shows which aren’t like that are a lot more common, like the first animated shows i can think of are things like king of the hill, avatar, boondocks, regular show, south park, etc. they generally aren’t as bad with objectifying women (but there are definitely some that do it really badly, don’t get me wrong)
Honestly: most series.
Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei comes to mind as a somewhat recent example (which shows my age even more than being in this sub, since the anime is almost old enough to vote at this point). It was very funny and even thought-provoking at times, but as the series went on it leaned further and further into ecchi/moe territory. They even broke the fourth wall and commented on it in the show at one point. What a shame.
