- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Seems you have been missing a couple of shows ...
i guarantee i've probably seen way more shows than you as my MAL has over 700+ series watched. the amount of non-hentai shows where the characters actually fornicate, much less on screen, is probably in the single digits between all of those shows watched. I can't actually think of a non-hentai show where the charcters actually do have sex on screen, aside from one -- and that one is between two older high school characters, and you don't actually see anything really objectionable.
if i actually think about it, i think the stuff i've seen in american tv and film is probably worse than that. I think the biggest problem people have with anime is that japense culture is unfamiliar and scary...
feel free to name some shows though.
Old stuff here:
Final episode of Onegai Teacher, the male student is shown having sex with the female teacher. It was a romcom otherwise.
Chobits, the MC had to finger the android to power it on.
i'm just going to point out that in the final episode of onegai teacher, you don't actually see sex. you just see the teacher trying to seduce the student, but then the teacher disappears (no idea where she goes, but she's just gone) and then a female student magically teleports in the room.
chobits, the main character is 19 years old.
you pointing out these scenes serves as a great example to what I'm talking about. People blowing shit way out of proportion so they can demonize anime as a whole.
it seems to me a lot of people are just uncomfortable with things from other cultures. they fail to recognize all the shit in their own media and give a fair comparison.
that said, my feelings are that people are far too sensitive, be it to foreign, or more familiar, western media. i think parents often try to baby children far more than they should and some people just like to be angry.
Maybe I misremember Onegai Teacher, or it was an oav? It was a distinct memory, either way. I'm 100% it was canon, but I was watching it at 6am after work.
Chobits, I forgot the age. Anime is fuzzy about ages.
