List of Anime with Non-Sexualised Female Characters

The list is short, but will be updated as I watch more anime

My search for non-sexualising anime led me to write an entire article called Anime and Male Entitlement: How Men Defend Perversion and Pedophilia. You can read the article to know why this list does not include anime with even mild sexualisation of its female characters.

And as I’ve said in that article, “Don’t you ever let a guy mansplain to you why female sexualisation is a sensible marketing strategy that should not be considered sexist.”

Here's a list of anime that do not sexualise its female characters. The list is short, but will hopefully grow as I watch more anime and keep updating it.

Series:

  1. Attack on Titan

  1. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
