I'm looking for anime with following features:

No to few romance, no unnecessary nudity/fanservice/annoying sexualized characters.

Preferable genres, Mecha/Sci-Fi, Fantasy is ok too, or more preferable Mystery/Police/Thriller.

To be more specific, i'd like to see anime that has interesting plot, where everything isn't obvious from start, i'd like to see something like Monster or Death Note. I noticed it's hard to find that type of anime which is good.

Thanks.

Added to plan to watch, seems interesting. I'm still looking for something which is not centered on children though, although its not problem for me, I still prefer watching mature characters who are aware of their job (lets say detectives, police officers, etc..).

Knights of Sidonia fits most stuff youre looking for. A little bit of romance, not too much sexualization, its scifi and mecha and theres mistery and thriller aspects in the story.
School Live could be your thing. The story is pretty interesting and theres definitely not everything obvious from the start. The difference between the first and last episode is huge
Fate UBW might also fit your needs. There is a little romance, characters arent oversexualized and theres fantasy/mistery/thriller with a very cool twist in the second season.

I've explained this on about 100 posts but Shinsekai yori isn't focused on children for too long, only for about the first 10 episodes and the eventually turn into teens and then adults. Also this anime is famous for episodes 11+ where the real dilemma begins. Personally I loved the anime and I think it's quite unfortunate so many people don't realize the true beauty of it.

EDIT: +1 for everything people have mentioned

Psycho Pass has the suspense
Shiki has the horror
Bungou Stray Dogs is from the police's point of view as the figure out who the terrorists are
Zankyou no Terror is from the terrorists' point of view

Knights and Fate look good, picked them.

hmmm well it is fine, it is from madhouse so it cant be terrible anymore. But yeah it could have been better... mostly if they would have continued and finished it instead of letting it with an open end, has a bit of fanservice thought but not more than code geass :P


Btw shinsekai yori is not childish :P and the mcs are in the last part of the story mature btw 26 i think ... Beside i will show you here the first 60 sec of ep 1 ^^
I need to protect this series :P because it is epic a bit slow at the beginning but incredible at mid and last part
