These days I operate under the assumption that every single anime or manga involving teenaged main characters is a gross pervy SA-fest, and simply avoid them all.
which is basically every new anime. I really wish we would get more animes with adults doing adult things and having adult emotions like back in the 90s/early 2000s.
When I watch anime these days I’m usually going back to 1980s/1990s OVAs that I’ve not seen before or haven’t seen in decades. I’m willing to overlook the far-less-polished animation in exchange for interesting stories about adult characters facing adult problems (in the sense of “problems that happen to people over 18”). And there’s often some really great high-concept stories that aren’t as common in other types of media before or since.
Of course if someone has suggestions for any modern series that lack teens as main characters, I’d be open to watching those as well.
I was speaking more to my better-developed understanding of media, not of differences in a specific work of media. Haruhi for example has a whole lot of problematic shit, and it always has. What’s new is that I recognize the problematic shit for what it is.

Mob Psycho 100 is cool
my top 1 anime
It is so good and wholesome and wraps up wonderfully.

Well but then your fans cant goon over a totally 18+ nine year old looking
You must’ve missed the entire 80’s OVA boom, tbh.

Fair point.
