My wife and I both like anime content, but yeah, the high school stuff has been making me uncomfortable on some level for quite a while to the point where I don't talk about anything anime related with people unless I KNOW their into it already.

I really want more good stories told with older characters. For romance stuff there's a lot of good office worker stuff like Sweat and Soap, Wotakoi. Action stuff is getting away from teenagers more with Kaiju no. 8 and Sakamoto days. But yeah, so much stuff is written for and therefore about teenagers and kids and it's making us older weebs feel left out and creepy IMO... I get that "coming of age" is an important universal theme but still

May I recommend Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku for action?

I'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation

So you're into this weird hentai stuff with school girls?????

You joke but we've literally gone to Comiket together and compared hauls after, conventions and stuff were a big part of how we got to know each other (get yourself a partner with similar interests!). I forget exactly what we got but I know we both had questionable stuff with school uniform wearing characters. We were in our 20s so didn't feel as creepy, but same issue as I mentioned before, a lot of good stuff is made around young people, but I'd love more good media with actual adults as leads.

are you calling me a child? Because we have had sex, and if I'm a child, then you're a pedophile. And I'm not going to be lectured to by a damn pervert!

Sounds a little mad though.

"I'm having fun. Is criticising me your idea of fun? Aren't you a bit old for that?"

"Aren't you a little old to be judging other people's hobbies?"

"So's Animal Crossing, but I don't think less of you for sinking all your time into it."

"Shhh honey, I'm about to kill God."

meanwhile in Personna 3:

"honey what are you playing?"

"oh just a game where I play as some high school kids that shoot themselves in the head in order to unlock their powers"

It's like calling Danganronpa a school sim. Between changing your friends' lives, talking to terminally ill patients and getting a politican elected, the social link systems in P3-5 were so melodramatic. Felt more like you were a guardian angel wandering the game world.

But some things are too bothersome to explain. I'd just give a sarcastic smile and move on.
