I'm so glad the newer generation of anime are turning their back on perv shit. There will still be the occasional anime where the "10yo girl is a 1000 yo dragon so it's totally okay" BS. But a lot of modern more popular anime is toning that shit down.

And a part of it makes me believe because the other countries are doing anime (Korea/China) and gaining more international recognition.

    This is good news, and maybe there can be more quality anime and manga in the future.

    Still very disturbing that this wasn’t their policy already though…

    I’ve been an anime fan since the 1980s, but have fallen off hard since 2012 or so. There are so few good series these days and a lot of it just seems like embarrassing juvenile pervy crap nowadays. There’s not much to like about it

    The thing is there's always been anime that wasn't creepy.

    Like slavery: no, it wasn't okay then either. People did great work without it.

    I mean, people like voyager and the main character pairing is between Jar Jar Binks and his "3 year old, but it's cool man, their species only live to be 7 and the actress is of age" girlfriend.
