Legally, maybe. Socially, no. Traditionally in Japan “adulthood” is at 20 years. It’s a whole thing. They lowered it to 18 a few years ago (it’s been messy).

My favorite will always be Perv Asshat from “The Eminence in Shadow”.

Charlotte is a good anime, with the main character kinda being like this in the first episode. But that’s it. I highly recomend it because the show has some of the best character growth ive seen in anything.

It’s the dumbest shit ever, I fucking love it. They’ve got all of the first series on youtube.

This is why I like Baki. The characters are only horny for Baki’s dad and fighting.

Edit: And piss.

Oh you must mean MF Ghost and that character that only likes girl that are 17 and he’s 35 or something. Honestly that whole show is horrible I’ll rewatch initial D 100 times before watching that

I completely agree with the “underutilized”. That is certainly the best adjective to sum up the situation.

You leave him out of this.

bisexual horny

Speed of sound sonic especially.

I know nothing about the show but that’s literally what I would expect from something called time stop hero. If someone recommended it to me I’d 100% assume it was hentai.

The UESP wiki is great when you have to name some new machines (IT stuff), lotta laptops out there named Bloodthorn right now. :)

Mushoku tensei is deeply fucked up… Both the beginning and end. I still can’t believe that show didn’t get banned or something.

Hunter X Hunter is totally different though, I agree. Hisoka is meant to be predatory and kinda terrifying.

Dandadan gave us peak memes tho. The McDonalds intro version specifically goes way too hard

*in other places.

As in, in Japan, pointing out a character is sixteen is the same as pointing out a character is 18 in America.

…ting tang, walla walla bing bang

I don’t disagree with you, to be very very clear, but I find it fascinating how radically things have changed since I was a kid (and I’m just a millennial). We were flooded with messaging, left over from a time when highschool was the last step for most before the job market, about how highschool was where kids became adults. How many films from that time hype sexualized high schoolers?

Except usually they aren’t putting those characters in to make you feel uncomfortable? It’s usually presented for laughs or completely normalized.

Like, there’s a huge difference between something like Usagi Drop and Lolita, even if some of the plot beats are similar…

Straight up puri is the only one to straight go naked and horny AS A FIGHTING STANCE.

Definitely true for them being unobjectified and generally proficient but they often end up being quite forgettable and/or underutilized unfortunately. So it kind of goes from one side of the subpar female character writing spectrum to the other. I’d go into detail but I don’t want to go on a tirade about how disappointing it is.

Seven deadly sins…eeh ooh eeh oooh eeeh oooh.

Saiki K is hilarious, too. Actually funny and clever jokes. It mostly doesn’t cross the line, either, with the exception of like two frames.

Was it played as comedy in the anime? Definitely felt like a heavy moment, more horror than comedy for sure. Absurd horror at most. Same with the gators in the hot spring. Maybe the tone is different in the manga?

most annoying part there is creator jumping through hoops justifying it. is why i like Bleach…creator just goes “i just ike big tits” when asked about the sexy outfits/boob windows.

I thought Todo would be one of these with his “What kind of girls are you into” line but he just turned out to be awesome.

Yeah it’s the same in the anime. Strapped to a chair, spread eagle with sexy lingerie on while the aliens whip out weird mechanical dicks and say they need to impregnate her.

Then the scene plays absolutely no role in at least the next two seasons.

Oh great! bots imported this brain rot from Reddit.

I remember trying out the manga a long time ago but noped out in the first chapter where the female character almost got raped and it all got portrayed as comedy. If that’s the author’s hook I have no hope or expectations for the rest of the series.

The most egregious part of the quadrangle is that it isn’t a mutually understood and entered into polygamy. He’s an adulterer and basically forced the, again, children into accepting it.

Ironically, as far as I remember, Jujutsu Kaisen does not have this flaw. The main female characters are strong and not sexualized. Or maybe I forgot.

My brain regularly represses memory of this guy. Every time I see him I go “oh shit I forgot he exists” and forget about his existence 10 minutes after.

I prefer that to anime where they show the protagonist’s pre-teen sister, but say that despite her looks she is actually 18 and adopted.

I’m recently rewatching bleach and Japan has issues. I don’t remember leorio ever doing perverted stuff, but I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s been a while since I saw it though

Leorio probably. Hisoka was a pervert in a villainous way, Leorio was perverted for comedic relief. One of the very few things I dislike about that show

I believe the gif is from Jujutsu Kaisen

This is how I felt with Time Stop Hero but it was the MC. I got drawn into it because it has interesting usages of time stop, like him stopping time to drag himself miles to a healer after receiving a mortal wound, BUT his favorite thing to do with time stop is to lift up women’s skirts and stare at their panties for a few weeks straight. Like dude. You are a reasonably attractive guy who has special powers and does the cool fight. Just ask them.

The moment when Kimura appears in Azumanga Diaoh..

More like John Pedophile

Also are we going to ignore that not only does he have a wife, he has a FINE wife with a child and he still wants to commit infidelity with a high schooler. And it’s made for laughs that she is completely unaware she’s married to a sexual predator

Ugh… It’s one of my favorites but that part always is awkward

Technically I think he just says he “takes” the beautiful men theres some ambiguity there so maybe its just kidnapping lol

Plus I think OP has a problem with the like casual SA that happens in anime. You never see Puri Puri prisoner do anything really pervy like spying on people naked or groping people etc. Instead the worst that happens is that he is just naked all the time lol

Im not sure that applies here, isn’t he literally a prisoner because of all the raping.

Yup. Every 2. episode like: no, lady pervert, that will not work 🙄.

I was referring to what series the gif is from. 😆

If you want fanservice as plot points watch Kill la Kill

Yeah Hisoka’s straight up a pedo. So is Rudius (jobless reincarnation). I actually kind of hated mushoku tensei for the weird romance harem quadrangle thing, like it’s just the author’s barely disguised fetish.

If we’re talking about some, I suppose for the sake of the conversation, ‘accurately portrayed pervert’ then you might be on to something.

In my experience, in anime it is very rarely that. It is usually some variation of Roshi, where ‘pervert’ is a stand in for ‘lecher’.

Me wanting to recommend a great anime, but remembering the only fan service is in the first episode:

cough Dandadan

I just don’t want them to be in high school, man. Doesn’t matter what country high schoolers have zero life experience and shouldn’t be thought of as adults.

I hate this dude so much I stopped watching the show.

Okay, so I was going to suggest Disastrous Life of Saiki K because there’s 0 fanservice and the main character is aroace.

Then, I remembered there is one character who is an incel and trying to get girls is like his whole schtick. However, he doesn’t show up very often though, and he never actually succeeds in doing basically anything inappropriate. So I still highly recommend it.

Obviously, unless your goal is to call out that behavior

but hey at least the show is bisexual horny. I mean the women definitely have unreasonably tight clothing but the men are the only ones getting sexy fully naked camera pans lol

Jobless reincarnation sounds exactly like an anime of self-indulgence haha

Pretty much every anime I like is like that. Interesting story, fresh take, strong art direction, just ignore that one bit where this character is a huge pervert.

Like, Overlord is one of the least sexual plots ever. Completely unnecessary to drive the plot forward. But of course some of the characters are obsessed with getting that skeleton dick.

Hero Academia has a grapeist hero that assaults multiple women.

Puri puri prisoner.

Hisoka???

I’m intrigued by this fanservice power being a plot point.

This isn’t the first time the author has done this. An earlier show of his, Soul Eater, has a character that is a cat with the ability to turn into a woman. She doesn’t have any clothes on when in her human form, and she loves to prank the human characters by transforming at the worst times. Fortunately, she is only the protagonists roommate, so you can go episodes at a time without seeing her, since the gang leaves her at home when they go out on missions.

I wonder if that was spite fanservice too?

I have no idea about this instance, but often the point of a movie/show’s writing is to make you uncomfortable in order to make a larger point.

I get the feeling that the worst tropes of manga are often there at the publisher’s demand.

Ah, the Juggernaut scene? I literally dropped it then and there. Infuriatingly tone-deaf scene.

The best part is that according to the author that character wasn’t originally in the story, publishers pressured him to put in some fanservice, and he crated that character out of spite.

To play the devils advocate, 16 is the age of consent in Japan (where these anime are made). Pointing out the character is 16/17 is the equivalent of pointing out they’re 18. Whether you agree with that morally is a different issue.

UESP is the best wiki in history for its purpose. Yes, even including Wikipedia.

Fire Force, for a little narrative John Pervert. Cast has magic powers, some have drawbacks. Young Lady in the show has the “Lucky lecher lure” where accidents will happen with her and men where her clothes will fall off and she’ll end up in uncomfortable poses (ass or titties pressed into the guy, or poses that expose everything). Neither party wants it to happen and she fucking hates it.

It made it so uncomfortable to watch I literally stopped because of it. Ruined their pretty good story with really gross, nonconsensual fan service.

Hisoka isn’t sexually attracted to little boys. He’s sexually attracted to strong fighters. Just because the two main protagonists are little boys doesn’t mean–

Yeah, fuck that, can’t do it. Yeah, Hisoka is creepy as fuck. But he’s supposed to be creepy as fuck. He, at least, is never supposed to get audience sympathy or trust. He’s a creepy groomer and is treated as such by the narrative.

It’s better than Mushoku Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) where the protagonist is a pedophile, gets ostracized in his original life for being one, and then after reincarnating proceeds to indulge his desires with little to no pushback in the series. People find him relatable and misunderstood. That’s 100x more egregious than anything Hisoka did.

I haven’t tried it, but this privacy frontend sounds like something that could be a good solution

https://breezewiki.com/

Use that along with the “LibRedirect” extension and see if it works well for you!

This + randomly mentioning the primary love interest is 16 or 17 when the story literally does not change at all if theyre 18 instead

The IndieWikiBuddy extension will automatically offer to redirect you from Fandom to other wikis on the same subject, and will block Fandom in search results.

Hunter x Hunter

Pick one at random, tbh.

What series?

Hm…

I tried to post a script to automatically redirect from fandom to antifandom but even using code block formatting showed up as a hot mess.

There are extensions on Firefox that allow you to block results from Google.

Even with ad- and popup blockers, the sidebar loads in and resizes the content just about when I would click a link. Or when you enter a search term and there is only one result, hitting enter still takes you to a one-element-listing page… Infuriating.

It’s been out a long time. It was called Wikia before it was called Fandom, and it’s always been the shit version.

Like another commenter pointed out, there were good wikis for The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but Wikia made shitty versions, mostly copying from the older wikis.

IIRC you used to be able to block domains from Google, but I don’t think you can anymore. I would love to block every single Fandom site out there. They’re trash. I’d use IGN over them. IGN is actually not terrible for gaming guides, but they try to push paid subscriptions a bit. An ad blocker tames most of that.

Same thing with the UESP wiki for Elder Scrolls that has been around since the 90’s. It is by far the most comprehensive info site for all things Elder Scrolls, but the Elder Scrolls Fandom site overtakes it on every search result.

100% - the game I play (Warframe) moved to hosting their own wiki, taking over from where it started on Fandom. Even with the entire gaming community trying to tell search engines that the new wiki is the source of truth, Google/Bing feed Fandom results. The Fandom wiki is “dead” compared to the real one and we use reddit/forums to tell people to not use Fandom.

Search engine optimisation so fandom comes up first.
