| I have watched alot of popular animes and they are getting boring now cause they don't make me feel excited anymore. Recently tried Soul eater cause I wanted to watch similar anime to Tokyo Ghoul but it was too childish, dropped on first episode. A decent anime I have watched recently is just Erased. So what I am looking for is non high school animes, and no young teenagers. Not childish comedy. It could be any genre but comedy should not be it's main theme. It may have romance and it should have good character art. I will give some examples to help what I am looking for -Tokyo Ghoul -Fma brotherhood -Elfen Lied -Erased I know all of these follow different genres but are all serious animes and not for little kids. |

Lol yea, that's ditto for Elfen lied as well, the fact It's ecchi, is pure proof It's for teenagers tops(ecchi exists for no other reason then the fact you can't sell hentai to kids, and studio wanted a way for their crappy anime to sell, without the need of putting actual effort into making something good). |

Even if Code Geass is mecha I do not consider it childish. Since I think most interesting part of it was the main character and his way of analyzing every situation and comming up with great strategies + the story is really mind blowing. Watched mirai nikki, have to watch Shingeki no kyojin. And Code Geass I dropped cause it seemed like a political anime on first episode don't really like those type. |

In that case anime is not for adults at all might as well watch Game of thrones? |
|
| K I will give it a try to Code Geass |

In that case anime is not for adults at all might as well watch Game of thrones? Well in no way, shape or form, is Elfen Lied a serios anime either, It's just a crappy shock, and awe anime. A very tasteless one at that. |

Then you may suggest some? I believe you have watched anime that are intended for adults. |

| Maybe you can try Durarara |

It was my intention to initially do such, but that anime pushed me away from doing such. Well I guess since you asked, I could suggest some. The Legend of Condor Hero Kingdom Spice and Wolf Nana(although be warned, this has the worst ending ever) Victorian Romance Emma Hanasakeru Seishounen(It's tagged a Shoujo, but It's really a Josei) Kiba(but this series screams lost potential) The Legend of Qin/aka Qin's Moon Moribito Guardian of the Spirit Inuyasha+Inuyasha the Final Act(wrongly picked up by a shonen publisher, who ever would suggest this is for children or even teen for the most part, is very sick in the head) Saiunkoku Monogatari(another shoujo, that really should have been labeled a Josei) come to mind. |

| I just remembered Samurai Champloo and you might want to try Dimension W that is currently airing |

Alright thankyou for all suggestions, I haven't watched any of these so will check out. |
|
| Lot's of mixed (good and bad) recommendations from this thread lol Here's mine: Baccano! a solid cast of adult characters, just an overall great show. Monster Mushishi calming anime that delves into some deep storylines Psycho-Pass mature feel and atmosphere, with almost no fanservice/childishness(?) Shirobako great for young adults/adults. Hope this helped, happy watching! |
Stand_Alone_Void said: I just remembered Samurai Champloo and you might want to try Dimension W that is currently airing Thanks, yea I am watching Dimension W currently. |
|
| -Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin: very good anime and i guess its made for a adult audience -Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan: Tsuiokuhen very good film -Hotaru no Haka: a must watch so it might not really the kidn of anime your searching for |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |

Well anyway enjoy :) |

| Yea I have yet to watch many animes. Most I have seen are the ones most rated or popular but I know there are many good ones that do not get as much credit. And mostly I have been watching harem/ecchi so needed a change from them so that's why the animes I mentioned might not be serious for you but they were for me when I changed from harem to other genres. |

| ghost in the shell: stand alone complex, props for trying to go out of the comfort zone |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Although it is shoujo (made for girls), Full Moon wo Sagashite is one of the most mature anime I've seen. Nana is shoujo and Fullmetal Alchemist is shounen while A-Channel and K-On! are seinen so demographics are not good for measuring maturity. Bartender and Usagi Drop are also mature anime and are intended for adults. +1 Shirobako |
  |
| I'm surprised that no one mentioned any of these: Bartender Hataraki Man Sarai-ya Goyou Mouryou no Hako Aoi Bungaku Baccano! Kurenai Oh! Edo Rocket Planetes Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 NHK ni Youkoso! Boku Dake ga Inai Machi ("ERASED") "Bake Neko," the final arc of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales, and its sequel Mononoke Nodame Cantabile Usagi Drop Death Parade Kuuchuu Buranko Thermae Romae Uchuu Kyoudai Shinsekai Yori Uchouten Kazoku Yomigaeru Sora: Rescue Wings Genji Monogatari Sennenki RD Sennou Chousashitsu Samurai Flamenco Kurozuka |

|
| +1 Durarara +1 Death Parade Both cover some psychological aspects (Durarara is so crazy itself that you might start questioning your own sanity tbh) Death Parade is very emotional and character based, yet also really heart warming in the end. Both are meant for mature audiences. |
 |
| +1 Black Lagoon Rainbow nisha rokubou no shichinin. Rainbow is about as adult as it gets, it's a pretty disturbing anime but one of the best I've ever seen. |

Arceus3315 said: Honestly, I'd say Death Note, although I suppose it has teenagers in it. It's a dark themed anime, and the age of characters doesnt mean much at all. I can somewhat see it as "horror", although I'm 14 so I can't really judge it too much. In my opinion the ending is pretty messed up (to me), but it's a good anime, I can recommend it to anyone. Death note is in my plan to watch list but idk why I am prolonging it, maybe cause I know both the protagonist die in it. |

| Some of the ones i personally like: Serial Experiments Lain (if you like deep Psychology) Psycho-Pass Ghost in the Shell (Both the original movie series and Stand alone Complex) Akira (if you'd watch a just in general amazing movie) Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu (since you enjoyed Tokyo Ghoul) And i guess Steins;Gate is to some point an adult anime. Blind recommendations would be: Monster Beck NHK ni Youkoso! Texhnolyze Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin Gantz Black Lagoon |

| *I didn't check your list since my phone is running slow and keeps crashing. Legend of the Galactic Heroes Neon Genesis Evangelion Berserk Gungrave Monster Serial Experiments Lain (blind rec) Bartender Welcome to the NHK FLCL Texhnolyze (blind rec) Ergo Proxy One Outs Shinsekai Yori Death Parade This isn't really an "adult" anime, but I recommend Ajin since you liked Tokyo Ghoul. |
