My wife and I both like anime content, but yeah, the high school stuff has been making me uncomfortable on some level for quite a while to the point where I don't talk about anything anime related with people unless I KNOW their into it already.

I really want more good stories told with older characters. For romance stuff there's a lot of good office worker stuff like Sweat and Soap, Wotakoi. Action stuff is getting away from teenagers more with Kaiju no. 8 and Sakamoto days. But yeah, so much stuff is written for and therefore about teenagers and kids and it's making us older weebs feel left out and creepy IMO... I get that "coming of age" is an important universal theme but still

May I recommend Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku for action?

[–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 4 points 4 months ago

I'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation

So you're into this weird hentai stuff with school girls?????

[–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 5 points 4 months ago

You joke but we've literally gone to Comiket together and compared hauls after, conventions and stuff were a big part of how we got to know each other (get yourself a partner with similar interests!). I forget exactly what we got but I know we both had questionable stuff with school uniform wearing characters. We were in our 20s so didn't feel as creepy, but same issue as I mentioned before, a lot of good stuff is made around young people, but I'd love more good media with actual adults as leads.

are you calling me a child? Because we have had sex, and if I'm a child, then you're a pedophile. And I'm not going to be lectured to by a damn pervert!

Sounds a little mad though.

It's like calling Danganronpa a school sim. Between changing your friends' lives, talking to terminally ill patients and getting a politican elected, the social link systems in P3-5 were so melodramatic. Felt more like you were a guardian angel wandering the game world.

But some things are too bothersome to explain. I'd just give a sarcastic smile and move on.

Marrying was your first mistake, anon.
