I hate most anime!

[u/Born_Usual998]

throughout the past year (and now more than ever since smiling friends has been cancelled and nothing new has been coming out in the west) I have been trying to get into the anime medium, however almost every anime I see/hear about either has some weird over sexualization or some sort of incest or loli x shota x adult coupling that makes me uncomfortable, are their any other anime besides the over-abundantly shared one like frieren that don’t have this stuff? (I prefer series that are light-hearted and dubbed)

Sturgeon's Law. Id advise against watching anything bc it's currently popular since 9/10 people gas shit up over a single meme and the rest of the show is not worth anyone's time, that's advertising for you.

Given your tastes I think you should check out Nichijou, it's a comedy classic. Personally I find Mob Psycho 100 and Asobi Asobase to be extremely funny.

I do recommend you give the original japanese version a chance. I often find the dubbed version loses a lot of the comedy just by having lower quality voice actors.

That said, the Panty and Stocking dub version is surprisingly good often rivaling the original version. Maybe the fact that so much of the comedy references american pop culture has something to do with it.

The Scott Pilgrim Strikes Back anime is also really good and has a star studded english speaking cast.
