It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

I enjoy a bit of anime, but I don't follow all the news and shows - I just pick up stuff by recommendations or a bit of searching.

So, people who actually know what they're talking about - are any of these actually good? Are any so bad they're worth completely avoiding? Any of them have particularly off-putting / offensive "fan service"?

Teppen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
Akudama Drive,
Black Lagoon,
Akatsuki no Yona,
Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna,
Appleseed

Thank you, that's a very thorough reply! Me and my partner don't find gory stuff nearly as off-putting as sexism, so it sounds like we'll be ok with Black Lagoon.

We'll watch Yona with expectations suitably muted ... TBH if I watch an Anime with low expectations and it turns out ok then I'm happy!

Yeah, Black Lagoon has its nasty bits, but it isn't especially sexist—the female lead is pretty kickass.

Oh, wait, I have seen Akudama Drive (25 years of anime means that I misplace titles now and again, heh.) Action again, less gore than Black Lagoon. I don't remember about fan service either way, so it probably has a low to average amount. The female characters were more than trophies for the males, at least. It was good enough to stand out among the other stuff that was airing that season, not so brilliant that I remembered the title three years later. Make of that what you will.

Cool, thanks :-)

I can't remember the titles of most of the Anime I've seen TBH!
