Yo, can you guys point me on some detective anime as title says?
It can contain some mystery or gore aspects, but please no crazy physical superpowers.
I would like to see some serial killers or something like that and just rough case solving with dark atmosphere.

Detective Conan & Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo are probably what you need. The former has Sci-fi elements for its Main plotline tho, and the cases gets much less gore and more light hearted after the first few hundred Episodes.

@Alexioos95 Damn that’s plenty of episodes, but I will look into it.
Also Erased really catched my eye, so I will probably give it a shot first, thanks!

@JoeChip Thanks!
Btw is there any romance in first one? Always a nice addition if it’s done well.

@Shabo-kun

It's more of a subtle romance rather than being one.

Detective Conan & Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo are semi-episodic series, with the latter even not having a Main plotline. You can just watch a few episodes at a time. But yes, if what you want is Whodunits mysteries, with an atmosphere sometimes a little bit macabre, where it's really challenging to uncover the truth before the reveals, then these 2 are exactly what you search for.

hmm Might have a bit of sci fi or supernatural elements but these anime have detective themes to them:

Psycho-pass
The Millionaire Detective: Balance unlimited
Hakata Tonkatsu Ramen
Id: Invaded
Bishounen Tanteidan
Case File nº221: Kabukicho
Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions
Fake - is old feels a bit unfinished and it's bl but I'll added it as it is detective themed

@Shabo-kun Seems like you haven't watched Pluto yet. It's from Monster's author. There are murders, investigating, and dark atmosphere.
Although it does have "crazy physical superpowers" since there's futuristic setting and main cast are robots.
It's not too long so you might give it a try.

@JoeChip Thanks it looks interesting as well, I put it to the list.
I just finished Denpa-teki na Kanojo and it was freakin great! Too bad there aren’t more episodes.
