#Haibane Renmei
Thus concludes the exhaustive list of animes I watched where I didn't have to put up with any sexualization of minors
If you only take one anime from this list, let it be Mushishi
I wish I'd seen Haibane Renmei by the time I initially made this list. Watch that too!
Snow White with the Red Hair is my favorite hidden gem.
- main character is a strong, independent, brilliant woman. She isn't abrasive or obnoxious, just confident in who she is. Her success in the story is entirely from her own efforts.
- love interest is a well rounded character, not an Everyman stand in. His own strengths and weaknesses are plot relevant and he grows independently of the mc.
- the romance progresses at a steady pace and isn't a will they/won't they for two seasons.
- romance is one of many plot lines, not the only one. It's also slice of life and medieval politics.
- and of course, everyone's adults. Everyone has normal body proportions and healthy personalities.

Here's some genre keywords for a start:
Adult Cast
Seinen/Josei
Chances are if those shows involve underage sexualization/unhealthy relationships, it doesn't endorse them.
Edit: Also look for anime with kids as target audiences, they should have none of those things. On further introspection, that sums up to "look for shows that ain't shounen or shoujo" lol.
There’s like hundreds of good anime that fit the description (as other comments highlight), you’re just looking in the wrong places if you agree with this meme.
You’re obviously going to find sexualization of teenagers in most series aimed at teenagers.

Does ReLIFE fit the bill?
"glorify unhealthy relationships" what does this even mean, western shows are full of this. The first one makes sense but most anime that have that are trash. Good ones are:
-monster
-ghost in a shell
-legend of the galactic heroes
-parasyte
-texhnolyze
-ergo proxy
etc...
