    Itīs not just incest or "incest-y" stuff, though. Absurd panty-shots, skimpy clothing in general, sexyfying of loli characters, stuff like that.

    I mean, I love Claymore, but how can I keep a serious face when recommending this anime for its great, gruesome battles, the serious, desperate atmosphere, when the anime is inhabited by girls running around in skin tight leggings, super-short skirts and such?
    Whatīs annoyingly common, too, is putting the main character through lots of awkward/weird scenes involving getting into embarrassing situation with some girl, which is so overused of a trope that it can only be counted towards otaku-pandering, too.

    Really, this is also one of the reasons why Hunter X Hunter is so fantastic. Not a single scene that would make me have second thoughts about recommending it to anybody who likes an adventure story.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    And then they curse you for that Hisoka gay-pedophilia scene...

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is probably my favorite series to try and introduce somebody to anime with.

    It just seems to have the perfect blend of everything that makes anime enjoyable(to me at least), without getting too much into the stuff that can make anime cringeworthy.

    Also, it doesn't go on indefinitely, which is a plus when trying to get someone to try it.

    Yeah but that scene is like 50 episodes in. They're already hooked by then.

    Also it's hilarious.

    I think comfort zones are the only things keeping some people from committing victimizing crimes. And some tastes people shouldn't acquire.
