Any ACTUAL good watcheable anime (Not school heavy, not fanservice-centric, no teen protag) that came out in this millenium?

Probably watched most of them, especially looking for newer ones if there are any, looking for some good recommendations on anime series that are actually made with care and attention to be decent. Thanks.

I recommend Afro Samurai, it's a short but great anime.

That is actually most anime regardless of the MC's age, but if you're more specifically looking for series without teen MC or school setting there's no shortage of them retro and modern, not sure why you're finding it so hard to find them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@chronofantasy You're almost right, especially in modern anime, but there's still a lot of good ones

They're a bit on the older side (21 years ago and 19 years ago respectively), but Monster and Hellsing Ultimate should meet all your criteria.
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.
