| Soo what do you want to watch then?? Seinan? |
having an updated anime list makes life easier for everyone |
| Mostly seinen: Auka no Hana Ergo Proxy Another Casshern Sins Some josei/romance maybe? Sakamichi no Apollon may be good Beck. Not a ton of romance. I don't know, it looks like all you watch is mostly shounen so experiment on different genres more! |
| Ummm, it's sort of difficult to find just one to recommend when that category is so broad. (shounen probably only covers about one fourth or fifth of all anime) Soo... I guess I'll put one recommendation for every genre except shounen, but if you don't know what one is please look it up first so that you don't accidentally watch something you regret. Shoujo: Madoka Magica (it's actually REALLY good) Seinen: Baccano Yaoi: Junjou Romantica Ecchi: High School DxD Josei: Honey and Clover Horror: Higurashi no naku koro ni Comedy: Binbougami Ga! Romance: Say I Love You Strange Thought-Provoking (is that a category?): The Tatami Galaxy Vampire: Shiki Slice of Life: Lucky Star Not Really Sure What Category: Mushishi and Clannad You Might Like: Trigun or Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or Hellsing |

| So, in other words, mature anime? Absolute must-see mature, no kiddy bullshit anime: Berserk Monster Evangelion (don't let its appearance deceive you, this is one of the deepest psychological anime out there) Texhnolyze (very slow paced mature anime, absolutely meant for deep thinking adults.) Serial Experiments Lain Jin-Rou Phantom, Requiem of the Phantom (doesn't really get more mature than this) Ergo Proxy |
| "Best" is relative. Anyway, if you're looking for something more mature: - Hellsing Ultimate - Baccano! - Kiseijuu a.k.a. Parasyte - One Outs |
  "I had thought that all my days were wasted, where in fact they were such a bounty. Always dreaming of the unrealistic, I never looked what I had around me." - Tatami Galaxy |
| Josei: Nodame Cantabile Hataraki Man Chihayafuru Otona Joshi no Anime Time Seinen: Kurenai Bartender House of Five Leaves |

| shinsekai yori monogatari series katanagatari steins gate |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| So since most of them recommend seinen I'll do so as well ;) Tokyo Ghoul Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu Brave 10 Comedy/romance/sci-fi Mekakucity actors Shoujo K project Karneval |
| I'm not rude... I just wasn't taught to politely pretend to be nice to people I can't stand. |
| I guess we're going a demographics competition here. btw Madoka isn't Shoujo. No way. Seinen: Uchuu Kyoudai, Monster, Big Windup!, Kiseijuu, Shinsekai Yori (actually this one doesn't really belong in any demographic) Shoujo: Ao Haru Ride, Natsume Yuujinchou, My Little Monster, Kimi ni Todoke, Kamisama Hajimemashita Josei: Nodame Cantabile, Honey and Clover, Shirokuma Cafe, Kuragehime, Chihayafuru |
mayukachan said: I guess we're going a demographics competition here. Personally I think it's a very unhelpful method to classify anime. Both Hidamari Sketch and Monster are seinen. Chihayafuru is josei while Utena is shoujo. Shounen encompasses pretty much everything under the sun from Magi to Claymore to Hikaru no Go. Original anime have to be pigeon-holed into these manga categories. Is Mononoke seinen or josei? Does it even matter? |

Well, OP wanted non-Shounen lol I'm giving the general ones from each category that a non-demographic fan can get into. |
PrisonersDilemma said: Shoujo: Madoka Magica (it's actually REALLY good) Not Really Sure What Category: Clannad Madoka is FAR from being a shoujo lol. It's a seinen. Clannad is romance. Anyways, I recommend Shinsekai Yori. The farthest away from being a shounen from what I've seen I think. Madoka Magica is not your everyday anime either. Since most of your list is action, you'll like this one. It's a dark look at Magical girls. Don't judge a book based on its cover. Anyways, while I haven't seen it, Serial Experiments Lain should be good as well. However, Lain and Shinsekai should be watched later, since you seem to have not yet traversed the path of psychological anime. So watch Madoka first, then the other ones later. |

| +1 Mushishi +1 Shiki +1 Ergo Proxy Also consider: Mnemosyne Desert Punk Mysterious Girlfriend X Kara no Kyoukai movies |

| heres some great shit that doesnt at all adhere to typical anime formulas mushishi (slow, atmospheric, episodic, not to heavy but very serious) monster (complex, such an insanely complex plot, mystery, very heavy) ping pong (sports anime taken to the most artistically interesting extent ive ever seen, very stylized, very fun) shinsekai yori (atmospheric, interesting mystery, fantastic world building) baccano (very fast paced mystery) madoka magica (very dark, very stylized, one of the best) tatami galaxy (conceptually very interesting, heavily stylized, highly original) |
mayukachan said: Well, OP wanted non-Shounen lol My comment wasn't really directed as you. It was a more general rant about the dominance of demographics as a classification mechanism for anime. Saying something appeals to "men over twenty" tells me nothing. Same for "girls under fourteen." I'm a man in my sixties who enjoyed Kamisama Hajimemashita, though it didn't hit home the same way Bartender did. |
