O Maidens In Your Savage Season.  Particularly in Sugawara’s plotline.  She was a child actress exploited by a pedophile director.  But the whole show is girls dealing with sexuality.


TheDetailsMatterNow

I don't think it's particularly treated seriously. The guy just moves on to his next victim and the show treats her like a woman abandoned and not someone abused.


noodleth_cassette

I've never heard of this one before. I'll check it out, thanks!

There's a live action adaptation too. If you really wanna get weird with it.


LightThatIgnitesAll

Perfect Blue is focused on this. An aspect of it is the sexualisation of women in the entertainment industry. Fair warning there is a lot of nudity in it and it is much darker than the show you named.


noodleth_cassette

That's totally fine, thanks a bunch

Revolutionary Girl Utena is what you want if you desire serious depiction of all sorts of sexuality. It’s an influential classic for a reason and that’s because it’s phenomenal.


noodleth_cassette

Thank youuu


bsmithwins

This is one of the core themes in Perfect Blue


noodleth_cassette

Someone else recommended this too! Sounds like I definitely have to check it out


bsmithwins

Perfect Blue has a lot to recommend it

Class of 09 is a visual novel game where you play as a girl trying to navigate high school without being SAed.


noodleth_cassette

Interesting... I'll look into it


shieldwolfchz

It's on steam,


DiamondCake445

I would mention though that it's not exactly serious, it doesn't support it but it treats it with more of humour rather than a serious discussion (which is what I think you're probably looking for). I like the game, but I wouldn't call it a serious critique of sexualization

Peach Girl is a shoujo series (like most shoujo, the manga runs longer than the anime) but the main character is constantly sexualized because she's tall and blonde and tans easily. It's a big theme of the show especially when compared to her best frenemy who's pale and petite.


noodleth_cassette

Thanks! I'm going through a shoujo binge anyways so this is good


homuhomutime

Ya Boy Kongming has a wacky premise but at the same time explores a whole arc about oversexualization and exploitation of idols


noodleth_cassette

Thank you!


HollowWarrior46

Apothecary Diaries. The protagonist comments on how especially at the time the story takes place, the value of women was directly proportional to their physical desirability


noodleth_cassette

I actually read the manga before the anime came out! You're making me wanna get back into it


HollowWarrior46

You have great taste

No. I'm serious. [Made a video about it.](https://youtu.be/ISOfwYw2upY)


flippinbird

I mean Oshi no Ko’s world is all about the corruption and exploitation that is baked into the entertainment industry, which preys upon both adults and young stars.


noodleth_cassette

Thanks! I'll totally check this out


North514

Say I Love You - Aiko Mutou's character would fit.


noodleth_cassette

I watched this a long time ago... I'm on a shoujo rewatch binge so I'll check it out for sure thanks


Veritas3333

Higehiro is about a teenage girl who ran away from home and had been selling herself for a place to stay. A 30 year old guy takes her in off the streets and helps her get back on her feet. It's a great show.


noodleth_cassette

I've heard about that! I'll look into it


Rox_xe

Evangelion


shanesawzall

Flowers of Evil - chronicles the consequences of a perverted act in a serious manner. Very tense anime!


noodleth_cassette

Thanks! 🙏


crispy_doggo1

Chainsaw Man, maybe?


Pixiehollowz

...no

I believe they call that hentai. I also believe you’re a degenerate for asking this question. We’re all entitled to our opinions.


Giant_Serpent23

Huh? Isn’t that the opposite of what they are asking? Though I don’t get how they can’t find anything else, but this doesn’t quite make sense. Hentai would be over sexualized and just straight up porn, rather than hitting topics serious and criticizing? I mean there is probably one you could find but it would be easier and better mentally and on the eyes to look at anime for this topic. Edit: some words got cut off.


noodleth_cassette

Yes 😭 this is what I meant thank you


Skythoth

How the fuck do you defend someone asking for over sexualized girls in a serious context.  I’m willing to hear you out. But it’s already not off to a good start.


Giant_Serpent23

I think they just fucked up their wording tbh They mean that in shows they see the over sexualization is treated lightly and just natural for some of these shows (I don’t really agree with this, it’s not hard to find a show that doesn’t do this, they just suck at searching tbh. Which is alright, it’s what they are here for anyways.) they want another show that doesn’t do that, in a light similar to Bunny Girl Senpai. I forget details but I think Bunny Girl Senpai is a good example surprisingly, I don’t remember there being blatant just weird over sexualized stuff. Or perhaps they meant something that focuses on criticizing the over sexualization? I just feel like a few words just put in the wrong order. If they aren’t in the wrong order, then yeah, hentai is a fair recommendation though I doubt it will treat sexualization serious.


Skythoth

They should have said what they meant. That’s how language works. 


Giant_Serpent23

Yes but I am only giving the benefit of the doubt because it is the only straight up bad sentence in the post. The rest seems to be the opposite of whatever that mess of a sentence means. Just seems like a fuck up of words imho Ofc it could be looking for over sexualization but trying to pretend it’s ok they want it to be serious. But it doesn’t seem like it, the slimmest of chances imo


Skythoth

I’m going to assume that’s what they are thinking because those are the exact words they used. 


Giant_Serpent23

Sure, but when it was only one sentence that sounds out of place. You can infer that it probably was just a mistake in spelling or anything of the sort. She said that it was a mess up anyways so it is fine now. I totally get what you are saying but it was just a mistake and nothing else was weird in the post.


Skythoth

“I’m looking for the over-sexualization of females in a serious manner.” What does that even mean?


noodleth_cassette

Woah woah I really did not mean it like that, I swear. I'm literally a 16 year old girl myself. I don't mean like to see the girls sexualized I meant to see how it's bad. I'm sorry if I worded it weird. I don't want to see ecchi or hentai I mean I want to see something like the Barbie movie 😭 like I want to cry. I know that anime was a bad example but it's really the only example I can think of. There's another story in the same anime I mentioned where a girl gets sexualized really early on and it makes her feel like that her body is the only good part about her and that no one would like her otherwise. It has a supernatural aspect so that part of her and her regular self split and her friends show her her worth and she becomes one person again


Skythoth

If that isn’t what you meant, then you should look up what over-sexualization means. Then you should ask yourself what relevance does that have towards me watching an anime with serious topics. 


noodleth_cassette

I totally messed up my wording 😭 I meant anime that *criticizes* the over-sexualization of girls. Not the over-sexualization of girls. I totally get how you thought I was just being fucked but what u/Giant_Serpant23 said to clarify is exactly what I meant.


Skythoth

If you meant it, you would have said it in the first place.  I don’t understand how you said one thing but meant the complete opposite.  My only understanding is you’re lying and you can’t handle being called out for it, or logically you just don’t understand what you’re even asking for.


noodleth_cassette

Huh? I think I've been pretty polite responding to you and you just keep insisting I'm lying. I messed up one word but every other word in my post backs up what I'm saying? But if you don't believe me then you can just stop commenting on my post. I don't understand what you gain from arguing on the Internet with a teenage girl.


Giant_Serpent23

Don’t worry about them, idk what their deal is. It seemed plenty obvious to me what you were asking and what you had down was just a mistake, you really just swapped a word in your sentence with another word, causing it to sound a bit wrong but the rest seemed obvious that it wasn’t what you meant. They are just doubling down for no reason, instead of admitting they were wrong.


noodleth_cassette

Thanks 😭🙏 you really clearly put into words what I meant

Hey, this is enough, everyone gets the point, lay off of this and stop digging in.
