Is it ok to watch a TV show, cartoon or anime where the characters dress immodestly, Ofc no porn or intended overt sexual imagery.

I guess it depends on how you personally react to it. If it fosters perverse thoughts or you find yourself fantasizing about these images, then I would say its spiritually damaging.

Depends on the anime.
Take… Code Geass, for example. Many of the characters wear skintight body suits, and are very… shapely. However, that’s not a focus of the anime and it doesn’t really revel in it. It’s simply an aspects of the artistic direction. In cases like that, it’s up to whether or not it causes you moral concern or difficulty. If seeing such things elicits lust in you, avoid it.
My Hero Academia is another example where certain outfits are provocative, but also actually serve a story purpose. They’re not provocative specifically for the purposes of titillation.
On the other hand, you have innumerable other shows where the dress is immodest (or practically non-existent) specifically for sex appeal. I could probably name a few dozen examples off the top of my head, just because of how common this sort of thing is in modern anime. I would argue that it is not morally licit to watch this sort of anime.
I miss the times when Love Hina or Tenchi were considered risque. Nowadays they wouldn’t even register as a blip on the ecchi-scale.

Is sword art online ok? I like the style of some anime, but no massive sexual feeling towards the drawings lol, so i guess thats fine?

Parts of SAO are alright, but there’s also a mild incest plotline with Kirito’s younger sister that starts about halfway through the series. That sort of thing has becomes disturbingly common in anime… I stopped watching around then, so I’m not sure what became of it.

yes, ive seen the first and second season, not the third. That plot wasn’t bad tbh, nothing comes of it tho, like no sexual activity or anything.

Japanese culture has different standards when it comes to real photos of people and drawings of people. It’s unfortunate but it does happen that some anime has nude or partially nude scenes. Generally, viewers will react in a consistent way. Some level of arousal can occur. There’s no need for that sort of temptation.

thats a fair point, could you not say that about any tv show or movie? or even going outside and seeing an attractive girl?

I’m personally a huge Jojo fan
And everyone in that show dresses immodest because it’s based off music references
But the immodesty in Jojo is from male characters which has zero effect on me
And they’re dying half the time

Nah, that’s a bad attitude. There are tons of truly exceptional stories that come out of anime, there’s just a lot of trash you have to wade through to find them
Rurouni Kenshin and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are amazing stories that really wouldn’t have worked well as anything other than manga / anime. Studio Ghibli has done some profound exploration of Japanese culture and history, along with the impact of war.
There is much in anime to be loved. There just also a whole bunch more you should avoid.

If it causes you pause why even let internet strangers tell you if it is ok or not. Just watch something else!
