It's a very well known fact that animes are full of teenage boys as main characters. So right now i want an anime (or even manga if it's long enough) which ha an adult male lead who is preferably older than 20 years old. He could also be similar to guys like Onizuka from GTO (just not as perverted as him) and Wolfwood from Trigun. Any genre is fine as long as it's not anything homosexual, romantic comedy, ecchi, mecha and heavy drama.

Please check my list before posting and don't suggest anything that i have dropped or that i already plan to watch. Thanks.

I don't know what you mean by long enough in manga, but maybe:
Lone Wolf and Cub (28 volumes)
Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa (11 volumes)
Blame! (10 volumes)
Jiraishin (19 volumes)
Billy Bat (on-going, but there are more than 14 volumes)

Welcome to the NHK. In my opinion, the greatest Psychological anime to this day.

ANIME:
on the darker side:
Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto
Psycho-Pass
Supernatural the Animation
Blassreiter
Devil May Cry (not as dark as the others I mentioned)
Tokkou

more light-hearted, w/moments of comedy:
Samurai Flamenco
Barakamon
Brave 10 (a few scantily clad women, but I wouldn't say its ecchi)
Sengoku Basara
Un-go (but has some dark moments too)

GetBackers when episodic is light-hearted, but when in an arc its dark.

You seem to get what i meant. I read mangas very quickly so that's one of the reasons why i'm not a big fan. Thanks for the recommendations.

As mentioned earlier, I highly recommend Monster and Cowboy Bebop. And in addition, you might also like Valkyria Chronicles.

I would have included REC and Nodame Cantabile, but you ruled out romantic comedies.

Aoi Bungaku looks interesting. By the way, isn't Moyashimon a yuri show ? I typed the name on the show on google images and i got a lot of yuri. I remember asking for nothing homosexual.

Thanks anyway.

It's not yuri. There's a cross-dresser, and the girls kiss no more than a few times. Not for sexual reasons; I believe the character was drunk. If your threshold for homosexuality is low, don't watch it.

Since you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, watch Cowboy Bebop.

Monster is also very good.

Anything else ?

I can't find the motivation to watch any of those 2 shows for some reason.

No, Moyashimon is not a yuri show. There is a wonderful scene in a cab with two drunken female characters, but that's about it. (No, I don't think anything happened between them later, either.)
