My daughter has picked up an interest in Demon Slayer, however having watched a little I think it’s too violent/mature.
I’d love to foster her interest in these things, by trying out an alternative anime that hits similar notes while being more age apropriate.
Any recommendations?
I’ve only read the manga, but I found Dr Stone to be really misogynistic, in a low-key but pervasive way. Nearly all the female characters (especially in the first half) are vapid and highly sexualized. Maybe the anime is better? MHA’s female characters are also overly sexualized, but at least they’re as well-developed as the male characters.
Also to be clear, Cells at Work: Code Black is a spin-off which is NOT age appropriate (albeit the superior series IMO).
You’re joking, right? Sure, some female antagonist characters are like that, but Yuzuriha is an essential member of the party portrayed as hyper-skilled, Kohaku is super strong, smart and doesn’t fawn over the protagonist despite clearly having feelings for him, Suika is literally just a silly kid, etc. Just because they’re using relatively revealing clothes (which aren’t even that revealing, mind you) doesn’t make them highly sexualized.
