BNA Michiru x Shirou is a creepy and problematic ship
So I’ve recently been watching this new anime called ‘BNA: Brand New Animal’ made by Studio Trigger and I have come across the ship between the two main characters Michiru and Shirou. I personally don’t understand the appeal of this ship as their age differences are WAY too big and I don’t really feel comfortable with it (even more so with the excuse of Michiru turning 18 in episode 4).
I’ve seen people bring up things from the following list in their arguments for the ship (and similar things like this):
Michiru turns 18 in episode 4 so she’s legal
Shirou’s physical appearance looks around 20
bring up other ships that include age gaps (majority are the same as this ship where one person is SIGNIFICANTLY older in their biological age while the other is in their teens or aka a minor)
They’re fiction...
(If it’s made in Japan) Japan’s age of consent is 13 so it’s fine (though you also have to take into account that different prefectures have varying age of consent laws but in Japan entirely has a law against sexual activity with anyone under the age of 18 as statutory r***. Basically, Japan’s base age of consent is 13 but you need to remember that not ALL of Japan has this as some prefectures have a “corruption of minors” or “obscenity statutes” in place that raise the age of consent to 16-18) Source: https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/japan
The characters that Michiru and Shirou are based on are a couple
All of these things being used for this ship (and MANY other ships) is just frustrating because it starts to make it seem like excuses to make this ship seem normal and legal. I’ve seen this kind of stuff before and it just annoys me because it just ends up making them sound selfish over this ship and not see how bad it actually is. I mean, if you applied this to reality then I bet people would definitely have more of a problem with it.
Anyway, I might continue this in a more organised format but i just needed to let my thoughts out first and see what other think about it. Please do leave feedback and your opinions on my thoughts, I would really like to see what other people think about it. Thank you
Was going to colour this but all welllll.

Guess who binged watched all of BNA in one sitting😌
Social Suicide
My life is worthless to you, small and insignificant yet you try so hard to extinguish me. I come out as a furry in high school you say:
Social Suicide
My heart sinks. Have I thrown everything away? Is it my fault I'm a furry? My fault I'm an outcast? My fault I'm autistic? My fault im depressed...its so silly, spoken aloud. My problems, clouds. Soft and dreamy, just a little less sun and im weak and weary...
Social Suicide
They are your words, not mine. So worried of others that you've already died. Maybe you are the one who has killed oneself to fit in? I had no friends then, but when will you have a true friend when your already dead?
Social Suicide
You were just trying to warn me, however misguided...why cant we be carefree...why must we die to belong, to belong inside our own homes, found families, find our own roads? Why can't i let you go? Why cant i commit?
