Like the title said, i'm looking for anime with characters (at least the MCs) that already adult or at least mature appearence
For now i'm just looking for the character design, i'm tired of childish/early teenage kinda look on most of anime (Probably because most of them are highschool anime)

I'm looking for adult character appearence like:
characters from Rainbow/Monster (Obviously)
Nana
Emma the victorian Romance

It doesn't mean that High school anime are completely out, I've seen some mature design on highschool characters like in:
Chihayafuru, (I just realized i like this kind of design after watching this, because this is how high school boys and girls should look like in my opinion.)

Kimi ni Todoke, (i'm not quite sure about this one)
Sakamichi no Apollon
Sukitte Ii na yo

The reason why i'm looking for it is because i can easily relate myself to this kind of anime, it's hard to relate myself to cute/early teenage design cause i'm already in my 20's
some bad examples are:
Okazaki Tomoya in Clannad (even after graduation, i cant find the "adult-ness" in his appearence) I'm just criticizing the looks, not the story, as it's one of the best.

Characters design in Requiem of phantom is also not good enough, because based on the story they should've look like they are in their 20's

I think the height of characters take a big part on making the characters look like adult (i probably wrong)

I'm open for all genre except action or adventure. Mature story like Nana and Rainbow will be a huge plus, but not necessary.
Hope you guys understand even with my poor english, thanks in advance.

Some gread recs, keep them coming
so far i'm interested in
Mushishi, which always been in my radar for quite some time now
Cowboy Bebop
Kaiji

I dont know if i will like Ghost in the Shell, cause i watched the very first of the series, and i think it's just "so-so", and not really worth the time, i could be wrong though

Want to try Darker Than Black? It's an action like what you've said you don't like action but, I want to look for a possibility for you to watch it, this one is so good. Also on it's second season which is Darker Thank Black : Ryuusei No Gemini.

I agree with you on the Phantom, I'm watching it right now and it seems that Reiji Azuma looks like 18. Still it is a good anime

I read the synopsis, and I understand why it reminds you of tenma
I'll keep this one in mind

I watch action anime once in awhile, but i dont want to make it as my main genre, right now i'm planning to watch Code Geass season 2 since i already watched the first season, but after i read your post, Darker Than Black will surely the next one (on action genre).

Phantom's story is good, i'm just criticizing the design.
And btw, you hardly ever update your list or that's actually your real one? I haven't seen a solid 10 score yet there, if i may suggest, watch Clannad AS as soon as you finish phantom, hopefully that will be the first 10

Thanks guys, keep them coming, just finished Chihayafuru 2, now i'm searching for what to watch next
