I'll endure any bug-eyed new Blood Plus adaptation as long as they dont retcon Diva's daughters' ahem, origins.
Early 2000 anime did have some interesting female rapist villains where their intentions were not even remotely played for laughs and/or titillation. Dante's goal in the first FullMetal Alchemist adaptation was literally keeping Edward as a sex slave

But, I'm specifically thinking about Sunday Without God: while not a favourite of mine, I really liked it since I thought the premise was kind of novel (then again I didn't usually watch anime like it when it first came out 12 years ago) and I was genuinely saddened it wasn't as well received as I thought it would.
When I was on SeventhStyle back then (that site is dead thank god), so many people were harsh on it (including those who watched it) that it made me lose nearly any faith in wanting to watch similar anime to that, but then I stumbled upon a review from a popular anime site that had a kindly written, unbiased positive review of it, so it made me feel a bit better about it, but not much.
There are a number of other anime that I really liked only to get soured by reading a lot of people's online thoughts, sometimes due to constructive criticism but especially for more pointless reasons too.

Even though he's not an actual troon and doesn't claim to be a girl he elicits sympathy for them by proximation for someone like my normie mom who doesn't know the difference.

I really should revisit this show, for me these old OVA animes just really hit different. I don't know if it's the muted colors, the different pacing, nostalgic sound quality, the music… they just feel so different in a way I've always enjoyed.

She wins in the end, sort of, so I always end up feeling vindicated on her behalf once the credits start rolling. Worst character is Chairman Yuki
who was stealing organs from his feminized clone. The Countess at least has her sympathetic moments, even if she's a cruel and selfish asshole, but that bastard deserved a lot more than he got.
>World buildingI love the post apocalyptic dreariness of the world. I love how grimy and miserable it is. I love that the sky is a giant mirror pointing back at the world so that there is no mistaking what human society has been reduced to, even if they tried to hide from it. I love that everything is awful and the cause of it all can be traced back to a singular moment of weakness from a person that absolutely knew better.
Girl, he's happily married and has a child. Get the fuck over it maybe? I love that the show is about love, in more ways than one.
>Novem as husbandoYes, yes he was. But really all the Gilgamesh are hot, what with their bondage-adjacent outfits.
As for your spoiler, I'm the type of person that enjoys a great deal of ambiguity in the media she consumes, so I never had much issue with being kept in the dark around certain aspects of the show. I would have liked to see more from the Gilgamesh faction though. We get a few solid moments with a handful of them, but the rest are either given a single personality trait or none at all. In exchange for a few more Gilgamesh crumbs, they can take back Toru pissing himself. Please and thank you!

I watched this on a whim and it was waaaay better than I expected, so much that I'm kind of confused it isn't considered an anime classic.
The Animation, camera work, the background art is just… chef's kiss—it kind of becomes a clusterfuck on the end middle part and the main villain kind of got underutilized, but overall it's still a pretty great animu movie from the great era of Y2K. I wonder why no one talks about it? It's way too overlooked for having such high qualify—is it the non-kawiwi character designs?
If you're interested in brotherly bonds, gorgeous background art, or that sweet sweet 2000s anime aesthetic—you should definitely check this out.

I’m guessing it never really caught on as a classic since it came out during a time when anime just started to penetrate the mainstream outside of Japan, so there wasn’t really an appetite for arthouse animation or atypical anime (Studio 4C is most well known for their Western IP collabs like the Animatrix).

>>491877Off topic but one of my main problems with Re:Zero is that despite being probably one of my favorite characters early on, Emilia gets so fucking boring in the later arcs. I know the author apparently really loves her so the only conclusion I can draw from it is that he saw how Rem was more popular (and how stupid incels simply couldn't understand why Emilia was mad at Subaru's idiocy at that royal election hall) so he overcorrected in an effort to make more people like her but really it just felt like he stripped her a lot of her agency she had early on. It's like she has no charm left.
When I first watched Re:Zero back then I thought it was so obvious that Rem was more of a narrative device to represent this sort of misogynist wish fulfilment for a retarded shut in who wants a literal obsessive and completely subservient maid that will support even their worst most selfish decisions with a bright smile and no questions asked and that the narrative was making the denial of that the point of his arc. Well, I still think that was somewhat the original intent for that but I guess millions made in merchandise later sort of shows money talks louder ig.

>>491884With Emilia, a lot of it has to do with Puck actually being a terrible father. He very intentionally raised her as sheltered and dumb as possible. She wasn't allowed to style her own hair or choose her own clothing, it was in the contract that he would do everything for her. This was cut from the anime, but before season 2 she had never even seen her own reflection. All mirrors were taken out of her rooms and she would leave it to Puck.
When Puck leaves, she becomes dumber because she no longer has him telling her what to do. In the books she spends days having temper tantrums, screaming and crying for Puck and pulling at her own hair.
With Rem, her deal is that she's paranoid, asocial and has a major guilt complex. She had severe baggage as a child because she was emotionally neglected while her sister was pushed as a political martyr for a race war group. Twins were considered a bad omen and she would have been murdered as a baby if her sister wasn't a reincarnation of their god.
When her village was massacred and her sister left permanently crippled, she hated the part of herself that was happy over it and decided to live the rest of her life as a substitute for her sister. Riswaal then blackmailed both sisters using each other and made them sign a contract to work as maids, though tbf the kingdom is also very racist and they wouldn't have been able to find work easily since Rem lacked any education.
When training to be a maid, they attacked the estate she worked at and murdered everyone, the only survivor was a baby she helped give birth to. She hunted down and tortured the murderers, but it still left her with even more baggage. She had no sense of self value as anything other than recompense for her sister and friends who died.
She's not subservient or obedient, she's just very passive aggressive and hates herself very much.
