| im getting tired of all these high school stories. im looking for something like Spice & Wolf. i liked Craft Lawrence's character. not old, but not young either. if anyone knows any, please let me know, thanks! |

| Bartender Ristorante Paradiso Yomigaeru Sora Like Spice and Wolf, these are more adult, character-driven dramas. You may also want to try Honey and Clover, a jousei slice-of-life drama which features university students. |
| *pats your shoulder* Buddy as much as I like high school-based shows and stories revolving around teenage characters, I sympathize with your problem 100%. Thus let me help you by first recommedning a show that's actually premiering and is even being simulcasted this anime season called Tiger & Bunny. The show is pretty much based on where being a superhero is considered a competition to the extent that superheroes have sponsers (all the main characters are adults btw) and one of them named Kotetsu that idolizes the old-fashioned meaning of being a superhero instead of keeping up with the times like his soon-to-be partner Barnaby Brooks Jr. (the title is a pun of Kotetsu's former superhero name "Wild Tiger" and Barnaby sounding like "Bunny"). |
| thanks guys! ive been without the net for a few months now, only able to get online with my phone. so i couldnt watch any anime for a long time T.T i was very sad... so i havent been up to date on all the new animes coming out and recently finished. i appreciate the recommendations and will surely add them to my list. thanks again |

| Hyouge Mono should be just right. If someone would just continue subbing it, dammit. Legend of the Galactic Heroes too. Yang is around thirty, and most others except for Julian, Reinhard and Kircheis, are in a similar age group. Zipang, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Ghost in the Shell movies and series, as well as Hellsing Ultimate (Though Alucard might be a bot too old with his 500+). Also seconding Homunculus, and as for more manga, try; 20th Century Boys, Berserk and Monster. |

| Nodame Cantabile features college age music students. It is a romantic comedy, it is a good one if you like classical music. |
 |
| manga- Ikigami Eternal Sabbath Bunny Drop (well, it has an adult and a kid that share pagetime pretty equally) Lone Wolf and Cub MW Planetes Seizon -LifE- Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan Train Man |
 |
| Baccano! Black Lagoon Kara no Kyoukai (Well, for most of the movies anyways...) Kobato Kuragehime Maison Ikkoku Monster Sword of the Stranger Wolf's Rain |
| I know exactly what you mean. There are some stories of great depth centering around young characters but I love it when I find something involving college age or older. In a rush so I didn't cross check this list to eliminate duplications. Sorry. Just consider them an endorsement of those seen and/or recommended. :-) |

| Solty Rei, split lead with a middle aged man and loli-ish character (no romantic connection) Giant Killing, if you like seinen sports series The Legend of Black Heaven, maybe, the series is a bit odd so its hard to be sure Genshiken, if you like slice of life type shows Manga Solanin Ashita no Ousama Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata, maybe, main character is a high school teacher Oishii Kankei, if you wind up liking AnO Until Death Do Us Part, split main between middle aged man and high schooler, vast majority of the cast is made up of adults. Mostly an action series Bakuman, they start in 3rd year middle, but the timeline advances quickly and at the moment they're in their early to mid twenties. Saijou no Meii, has a shounen feel to it but with the exception of the patients and the main character (who is young but I don't think an actual minor) everyone is an adult. |
| Saiyuki Sengoku Basara (unless you're looking for a romance series) |

| Great Teacher Onizuka - funny as hell, it's setting is in highschool but believe me its totally different than you think:) Must check it out |
| -Fist of the North Star, if you haven't read/watched it already. Total classic. -Utawarerumono. It starts off fairly simplistic, then gets impressively complex with perfect pacing. I was astounded when I found out it's apparently based on an H-game; you'd never ever know just from watching it. -Lone Wolf and Cub. Another classic, and really pushes the "older main character" angle. Also, if you're into giant robots, watch M.E.G.A.S. XLR. It isn't anime, but it's worth a mention because it goes out of its way to mock many cliches about the Mecha genre (including the fact that the pilots are always teenagers), and does a fantastic job. |

| I reccommend you the following manga/anime: - Speed Grapher (very good and mature anime, adult male x teenage girl) - Cowboy Bebop (epic anime with all-adults cast) - Black Lagoon (badass action series, all the crew is composed of adults) - The Legend Of Black Heaven (sci-fi, music and romance, young sexy woman x husband x wife) - Blue Submarine Number 6 (unique sci-fi short anime by Gonzo, older main guy with a younger female partner) - Sword Of The Stranger (historical movie with a samurai man as the protagonist) - Darkside Blues (another great movie with a mysterious young man) - Until Death Do Us Apart (action manga, starring an adult guy and a young girl) - Gankutsuou (Gonzo's masterpiece, both adults and teens in the cast) - Berserk (brutal seinen series with a shounen feeling and a medieval setting, all adults) - Ninja Scroll Movie (bloody ninja journey, adults only) - Mnemosyne No Musume Tachi (wonderfully kinky supernatural OAV, adult immortal woman x teenage immortal girl) - Clover by Clamp (sad romance sci-fi story, young woman x older guy x teenage girl) - Samurai 7 (good sci-fi + historical mecha anime, two teenagers, but the rest are all adults) - Trigun (a must watch, everyone's above 18) - Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 (sci-fi action anime, +18 girl with older guy) - Ergo Proxy (slow sci-fi anime with +18 main characters) - Witch Hunter Robin (slow supernatural anime with a teenage witch x older male combo) - Great Teacher Onizuka (school setting, but an adult teacher is the protagonist) - Captain Harlock (classic sci-fi adventure with epic male protagonist in his 30's) - Black Jack (medical drama with amazing doctor) - Maison Ikkoku (slice of life romance between an university student and a young widow) - Nana (beautiful, mature, dramatic romance involving music and characters in their 20's) - Versailles No Bara (classic historical romance, no teenagers) - City Hunter (classic, plenty of action and comedy, perverted adult male and his partner) - Golden Boy (also a funny series with a perverted main guy and mostly adult women) - Saiyuki (mostly adult characters) - Michiko To Hatchin (young woman x little girl on the road) They're all are fitting choices, as they have older main characters and are very good and likeable series (both the original manga & the anime adaptation, for those which have one). |
