Looking for romance (or magical girl like sailor moon) animes to watch with my wife that aren’t “odd.”
No upskirts or weird non-character sexualization (if the main characters are attracted to each other it’s vastly different than sexual harassment by schoolmates/teachers/the invisible camera man…)
No children (obviously, but 🤮 at so many titles in this genre)
Either apolitical (impossible), or at least empowering to women and not the typical Western/Japanese “your job is to be your husband’s token”
Edit: Non hetero-normative animes fully welcome but I would be lying if I said she wouldn’t be pissed at a lesbian anime if it’s overtly and obviously written for/by men.
I haven’t seen it but I think Spy x Family checks out. Its also the most popular romance anime atm so its probably an easy place to start.
My friend has recommended Way of the Househusband. Sorry these are both hetero romances
Just added the edit to say it was “allowed” because my first draft was very obviously hetero-normative. People took the edit and ran with it 🤣
