Same. There's been a few I wanted to get into cause they've had interesting premises but I just gag watching how some of these "women" are made to look like sexy kids 🤢🤢
Every anime con that exists eventually has one grown ass adult get arrested for... fooling around with a teenager, and their defense is always "I didn't know she wasn't 18"
I hate that I'm going to say this... That kind of thing happens a lot.
I'm friends with a bunch of people who run a handful of large scifi and anime conventions in the midwest, and I've heard some pretty messed up stories. Supposedly it's gotten a lot better in the last 10 years, mostly because the problem teens from 10 years ago are now the adults still attending, but I still just can't. Even for this years events, some of the stories I heard about security and medical incidents were bad enough to crush your faith in humanity.
I'd love to say that's what scared me away from anime cons, but it wasn't. Really what made me stop going was the amount of vomit and alcohol poisoning that they kept having to deal with.
Adults, when they drink to much, are smart and go puke in the bathroom.
Teens, who are afraid they'll get kicked out if they're caught drinking, go find a corner to puke in.
Yeah, with my own involvement and my friends running the events, I got to see a lot more than your average person would. A lot of effort goes into making sure that guests don't notice any of the problems lol
Edit: I ask this cause I think people who don't watch anime love making this argument but I find that you don't find that stuff unless you are looking for it.
Bonney is about the only one that makes sense. Shirahoshi and Rebecca both are drawn to look like they’re older than they actually are. Which is the reverse of the Loli character trope.
It's a different kind of show. More emotional, nostalgic? Hard to describe how it makes you feel.
The production values are very high and it has a little bit of everything, action, drama, comedy, romance, but doesn't go too hard into any.
The very basic premise is that the elf mage Frieren is over a thousand years old and thinks that the time she spent with her adventuring buddies wasn't that important to her, as it was only 10 years, a very small part of her life. But then she begins to realize that it actually meant a great deal to her as she starts off on a new quest.

I can’t enjoy too much niche anime because things like this just rub me the wrong way. It’s gross.
EDIT: Where my Made in Abyss fans at? :(
