Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Looking for romance (or magical girl like sailor moon) animes to watch with my wife that aren't "odd."

No upskirts or weird non-character sexualization (if the main characters are attracted to each other it's vastly different than sexual harassment by schoolmates/teachers/the invisible camera man..)

No children (obviously, but ๐Ÿคฎ at so many titles in this genre)

Either apolitical (impossible), or at least empowering to women and not the typical Western/Japanese "your job is to be your husband's token"

Edit: Non hetero-normative animes fully welcome but I would be lying if I said she wouldn't be pissed at a lesbian anime if it's overtly and obviously written for/by men.

I did enjoy this, but it's never going to be finished! doggirl-tears

I still have hope but finished the manga just in case TT-TT. Love that series too much

Yeah, I suppose I should give that a shot when I have time to kill.

I'll say, finishing the manga didn't take away my urge to see new episodes.

So I just found out there was a live action movie and currently a live action series on Netflix that's like a group of totally different kids 10 years later or something. So maybe there's still hope for the anime. Chihayafuru Full Circle
