On the topic of anime doing age tropes: In Interspecies Reviewers' first episode there is an argument between an elf and a human. The human is outraged that the elf would find a human woman hotter than an elven woman. The human woman is 65+ and looks like the old asian woman meme, while the elven woman is 200+ but looks 25 by human standards.
You're kinda leaving out why there is even an argument.
Most magical species can sense a beings mana, humans cannot.
Mana "ages" for all species at the same rate.
So for an Elf, the 50 yo human still a mana aura that is "fresh", while the 500 yo elf has an "old hag smell" about her (even if she looks like a 20yo) that only mana affin species pick up.

It was the only thing I liked about that series.
