Anime where the main character meets with strangers and they join together to form a group/party/gang. (little to no harem)

List of anime that include at least a few of (but not all of) the following:

- Adult characters
- Real world issues
- Serious, dark, or disturbing topics
- Introspection, philosophy, or psychological elements
- A slower pace
- Blood and violence
- Emotional Intelligence
- Little to no fanservice
- Something to say/a message to send
- Realistic portrayals of any of the above

Keep in mind, not all dark anime is mature, and not all mature anime is dark. A bloody gorefest can be juvenile and a simple romance can be mature. More of the shows in this stack stray dark, however, because that’s what I’m more familiar with and only 50 entries are allowed. There are many more mature anime out there; this is just the first fifty that came to mind.

Just my opinion yourse can be different

Any genre, just works i loved and loved.

Anime that the reaction youtuber "TheFlamingShark" has reacted to or is currently reacting to. Will be updated when rotation changes. Probably will have to make a part 2

sorted alphabetically (with American title) EXCEPT his current series.
