I don't even bother with anime any more unless someone else confirms there is no pedo content. With how much there is I've started to wonder if execs in the light novel/manga/anime industry force their writers to include it to normalize it.
I'm someone else! I actually keep a running list of shows that don't include the typical anime turnoffs. No sexualization of minors, and no incest.
Bolded titles are my top recs. Series listed in chronological order of my seeing them:

Some of those are from both before and after my "at least try everything" time frame but you clearly know where its at based on the ones I've seen. Great picks with genre variety. I still think about the definitive fight scene in moribito.
I'm finally setting up my living room and plan to rewatch natsume yuujinchou and then the seasons I haven't seen. Hopefully its still clean in regards to the post topic. Also trying to subject some friends to the depressing classics.
oh i can very much relate to that. i used to love 20th century anime because it was based (think of princess mononoke for example). nowadays it all feels like they're re-iterating the same theme 200 times over: boy and girl meet in highschool, the boy wears a suit and is somewhat ambitious while the girl is clumsy, talks with a high voice and is somewhat into the main character. i get that that's probably many high-schoolers fantasy, but damn it feels a whole lot like normalizing the american dream. "you just have to work hard, then you can make it".
What type of anime where you looking at?
Like western animation, anime has many genres, so you have a wide choice in that aspect. Its not hard to just filter out the ones that are not liked.
I used to watch at 1-3 episodes of everything that was airing regardless of genre and put anything that seemed good on the backlog in ranked tiers and watched the best ones as they aired. Obviously many were good but there were so many where the primary flaw was pedo content and many would be excellent without just that. So much trash tier crap though. Like really fucking stupid.
This watch ranking procedure led to how I came to use in another world with my smartphone as the benchmark for utter shit, and a series can receive the "at least better than isekai smartphone" award.
The biggest non-pedo slog I for some reason watched all of was phi brain. I have no idea why I toughed out the whole thing. Basically professor layton but the puzzle obsession is fully deranged. I call any series where the world revolves around something really autistic a phi brain type.
One of my favourite scenes across all anime was in a generic romance about book boy and track girl where they eat in front of a mural of an obvious beaver tails knockoff, boaver tails... I watched the whole thing and that's all I remember about it. If anyone can ID this one I want to go back and grab a screencap of the mural.
I really hate when a good series becomes pedotarded though. I'm still pissed about that one where a guy becomes an adoptive father but right at the end there was some shit where the girl's childhood friend slash almost boyfriend maybe hooked up with some other girl so main girl felt betrayed and starts dating her dad leading to one of the most egregious lines in anime, that I cant remember 100% accurately, but it dumbed down to essentially "I want to get mad at my daughter's gross old man boyfriend... but he's me"
At the very fucking least don't make parenting anime pedo.
