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.

Part of the problem with recommending anime is that if all you care about is eliminating prev, you’re going to miss some gems.
Like, are you really going to hang Evangelion out to dry? Are you tossing Sailor Moon and Card Capture Sakura in the dumpster over some skimpy outfits? Kill a Kill is crazy pervy, but it’s also an incredible ride.
So I offer mine: Spirited Away.
Miyazaki is a treasure. But imagine passing on Kiki’s Delivery Service or Princess Monanoke.
and Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Rebecca alone. Come on. How is that not underaged sexualization.
I watched Edgerunners a few weeks ago, and I was kinda surprised by how little Rebecca bothered me. Aside from her introduction she isn’t objectified any more than any other female character, and her personality really clashes with her character design. Visually she looks young, but actually watching the show, she didn’t really read as child-coded to me
I’m not an ‘anime fan,’ but there is good anime out there like Paprika and Aku no Hana. They really push what the medium is capable of and don’t just rely on tropes to appease people with low standards.
It’s tough to recommend anime to some people because their opinion of the medium has been tainted by anime fans that will accept whatever slop is shoveled in front of their face.

I completely agree with this.
