Is it normal i can’t enjoy anime because i find it sexist?

I absolutely love art, and anime styled art, but the characters and storylines always end up with the female characters seeming so weak and helpless...

Obviously I haven’t seen every anime, but the popular ones I’ve seen a few different episodes of always have the helpless girl with huge boobs and her panties showing every other scene.

I’m not the super “crazy feminist” type but it would be nice to see some girl power without all this hyper sexualization I see...

    Clearly, you just haven't seen the right anime.

      If you have any recommendations I’d love to hear them! I love the art, just upset seeing us ladies be reduced to helpless sexy objects.

        B the beginning for example
        Death parade
        Darker than black
        Castlevania
        Rurouni Kenshin
        There are actually a lot of mind fuck anime if u want fantasy and a lot of philosophical ones that dig deeper into the despair of human minds
        Like anthems of the heart. Not brutal like Gantz, but very emotionally painful
        Search for a bit, you’ll find tons:) Two anime with an AMAZING style are katanagatari and one called Mononoke( not the movie, but the series). Haven’t watched that last one yet but damn it looks good
        Anyways I’ll try to stop here, those should be enough haha

          Gantz is a pretty shitty anime all in all. The manga is better at displaying reasoning. In the anime it take the main characters 7 episodes to finally realize yes shooting the alien that killed half your allies is the appropriate action.

            The manga is nearly always better:P
            I can’t remember much other than i didn’t really like it anyways and it had a lot of gore. Was like 4 years ago or something

        Sword Art Online has a good female co-lead, the season has a handful of “helpless sexy object” girls before she appears though.

        Although as I remember she basically spends the majority of season 2 in a prison, which I thought was a waste of a good character.

          I wouldnt recomend sword art online because it plays up the damsel in distress 3 separate times in the first season.

            Yeah, it’s a mixed bag of female representation.

    Oh yeah the poor "sexualized" anime women.... Their fake! Chill bro! Its anime and your complaining the women are too sexy. If it's too sexualized maybe, just maybe you should spot on your hand and put it down yonder so you can take care of business!

      I’m a woman. I don’t like seeing us sexualized and have no power. Sure, show me hot chicks, but let them at least be equals.
      You’re dumb.

        Your a woman so that makes anime women "us"??? Your not an anime woman! If you were complaining about real women being sexualized who didn't want to be sexualized maybe you have a case. But idk if you know 1% how guys think, but making the women sexy means more guys watch their anime. It's this thing called sex sells. The sexier they make the girls the better their product does. If you were in charge of an anime company that's what you would do I 100% GUARENTEE it.

        And finally, my best argument by far :
        You're dumb.

        Anime is primarily made for adult Japanese males that are living in japanese culture. Unless you watch some yaoi anime cause those a pretty geared towards women... of japanese culture.

    There are a few nice ones tho that aren’t like that. The little squeaky girly girls without any story piss me off

    Yeah I've always considered most anime shows a total waste of that beautiful animation. PS. Gunslinger Girl is a cool anime about a bunch of highly trained girl assassins.
