By adult I mean over 18-20 years of age and with adult appearances. Nothing against anime with younger characters, but interested in finding some with older characters.
Do 1000+ year old characters that look young count?
I mean, I don’t remember watching an anime that has a character like that, but IDK some people are really weird about that.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
I don’t care how old the character is canonically. If they look and act like a child, they should be treated as one. Simple as that.
Fair enough. I’m just tired of the excuse that the reader/watcher is supposed to believe that the very obvious child is supposed to be hundreds or even thousands of years old and that somehow magically makes it not weird or creepy to view this character sexually.
I love manga and anime myself, but I just feel like this kind of shit makes everyone that enjoys this form of Japanese media look bad.
and act like a child
I don’t really remember any examples of hundreds year old loli vampires that actually act like kids. Shinobu certainly isn’t one. I didn’t include anything like this because OP specifically asks for adult appearances though.
I can’t argue this point or agree with it. I honestly haven’t read or watched enough media with characters like this because it’s not my thing.
I just added that because it fit the earlier duck metaphor. And I’m willing to bet money there are actual characters like that as well.
