However if you think fate/ kaleid is the best fate series than that is obviously your opinion and I won’t bash you on it, but it wasn’t for me personally. Now back to the main topic, like I said the main reason why I think that fate/zero is a risk taking anime is because it had no moe/ fanservice to it and remember I am only judging this on fate/zero NOT the entire fate franchise. As we all know Japan is REALLY big on moe/ fanservice anime, that how love live is super popular in japan; so with fate/zero with no moe or fan service, it is a risk, In japan that is. Yes us westerns do not think that fate/ zero is a risk b/c we not so focus on the moe/ fanservice as much as Japan does. So to sum up everything, (my opinion) fate/zero is a risk in Japan but not in the unites states b/c of the moe content. P.s is the fate/kaleid, the manga better than the anime? Have not read it.I have to point out something really quick, fate/kaleid is a type of show that can actually itself pretty well, why? because it has moe, do I really need to explain? (no mocking intended) Yes, believe it or not, if you make a claim (especially such a dumb one) you have to explain it... outrageous huh?LOL what a pain in the ass. He did explain it, cause it had "moe" That being said new anime isn't "bad" it's actually better than old anime. If people need to feel differently that's fine. For every old anime someone can name thats' good, I can name three contemporary ones that are better. |

| Hunter x Hunter best anime and Killua Zoldyck best boy <3 Addicted to cute shotas and teens with special powers in fantasy manga and manhua |
| Just watch Noragami. The best anime in our generation. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| I actually prefer new shows to old ones, so I don't agree with your statement. |
| Because the times changed, and everything got ugly. That being said, you have "Kumo no You ni Kaze no You ni" in your favorites, and that Anime was pretty bad. Well, it started out good, but towards the end, it turned into shit. |

Fate/Zero is a prequel story to the highly popular visual novel Fate/Stay Night which also got it's own anime adaptation. Calling Zero a risk in Japan is like saying the Star Wars prequels were a risk in America. @Darek is right. |
| Fool the Ghibli films aren't seasonal Anime. I can't get over that. |

| It seems like Made in Abyss might be your thing, but you've got a stick up your ass about young characters so... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| It seems that your tastes are all old school. Your best bet would be adapt to the anime coming out nowadays, or read manga. Try to be more open, I guess would be my best advice. |

And I don't know what's up with 12 year old looking characters trying to do adult things. I miss the days of Berserk, basilisk, claymore, serei no moribito, studio ghibli films, etc where stories had good plots and action scenes and it was actually not so predictable. If anyone has an anime recommendation that is more for mature audiences (not hentai or ecchi), I would appreciate it. i would recommend : Fate/apocrypha Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e kakegurui Netsuzou TRap atleast i think that these 4 shows are for a more mature audiences and no "12 year old looking characters trying to do adult things"... like u said |

That's the difference posting such topic in Anime Discussion -> bitching to no end + offtopic, or in the Anime & Manga Recommendations section, where it will be more trying to go along with your taste in anime. swethane20 said: I looked at this spring and summer's new anime list and can't find a single one I want to watch.

If anyone has an anime recommendation that is more for mature audiences (not hentai or ecchi), I would appreciate it. well, I find it a bit odd that you used Ghibli films in this context, even though I agree they're fine for mature audience. Kiki, Chihiro, Sheeta + Pazo, Satsuki + Mei ... are 12yo, or younger, or a little older. (And Aria's age in GoT - wasn't it 12 or 13, in the books? or was that Sanza?) :D Anyways, there really is a LOT of anime, also recent ones, that imo. are fine for a mature audience - probably more than I can watch at my slow pace. Here is some arbitrary + wild mix:
that's all for now, because late. (and had a beer or two) Leave it to @SeijiSensei to make some more founded/ orderly suggestions. :) |

swethane20 said: Thanks for some of the recommendations...some I've seen. For those of you who think it was click bait, it isn't. This is my first post after having an account for quite a few years now. Also, for those that pointed out it's not my taste, that's pretty obvious. I'm an older female who started watching anime when I was 20 and it's been a decade since. So perhaps my taste don't line up with the new generation. I didn't mean to offend anyone but I find the plot of new anime highly predictable. I require shows that are more intellectually stimulating. And perhaps the new generation fetish is with child looking heroes. I myself don't find the appeal of 8 year old looking characters taking on the world and having romantic relationships. I know the Japanese always had a fetish with really young looking boys and girls. I'll just move on from anime and watch more GOT type shows. Check these ones: Hunter x Hunter (It has no nudity other than some very very short scenes): The young characters just act like young characters and the older characters act like older characters, it is probably one of the animes in which the character development is perfect. There is no real romance at all and the characters have a lot more reasonable goals than an 8 year old looking characters trying to take over the world. Fate/Zero S1/2: This series has a great plot with great characters and little to no fanservice*. Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis/Virgin Soul: Gods, Devils, Dragons, Zombies and Humans. This anime is a delightful anime with many characters and an exceptionally well-made atmosphere. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: CHECK IT BY YOURSELF. I have nothing to say about this one :D. Parasyte -the maxim-: At first i was so doubtful about watching this one but after some episodes it turns out to be decent, there is some romance but i would just not care about it. The Legend of the Legendary Heroes: Pretty good. The only anime that gave me same feelings as berserk. *excluding blood, violence, torture and things like that. |
