...cultural differences...

Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show

Pretty sure 12 was legal in japan at the time.

I mean there's some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.

Just look at Stroheim from JoJo's

It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.

Okay, he's German. Uh, and he's in the army. And it's WW2.

Nope, he's just the new bro, here we're all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.

I mean, I haven't seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There's a lot of shit I don't pick up on tho.
