Steins;Gate. It starts kind of slow but once you get going it goes like a freight train. It is only 24 episodes which means you aren't committed for a long timespan.

The anime is iirc #4 on myanimelist (Also it was #2 for a long time) and the VN is #1 on VNDB. It is an incredible story.

 

[No BBC=Anger]

Initial D. The story is secondary for the most part, it's all about the racing and soundtrack. With no supernatural, wacky elements it's almost like an anti-anime.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Midori.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Serial Experiments Lain is my favorite anime of all time

Cowboy Bebop is also very good

 

[AJUMP23]

Trigun. The original.

 

[March Climber]

Easy answer: The stuff that premiered on Adult Swim.

[swaffles23]

its only got like 24 episodes and plus the opening theme song is a banger

 

[RagnarokIV]

do you mean sex ones like hentai

 

[No BBC=Anger]

Black Lagoon is an action anime that's great but might be a little too edgy for some.

I feel like a new version of both the game and anime is released every year, so I never knew when to start it. What version of the VN is best?

Gushing over Magical Girls is one I think you'd really like if you are looking for inspiration.

Mushi-shi and chill. Turn off the lights, lean back, relax and enjoy the journey.

 

[Bombolone]

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Probably all been said, but these are among my favorites:

Attack on Titan
Berserk (1997)
Cowboy Bebop
Erased
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 over Brotherhood, IMO)
Ghost in the Shell (The movie, and Stand Alone Complex and Second Gig)
Monster
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Robotech
Samurai Champloo
Steins;Gate

 

[Newuserdontflame]

Berserk (1997)
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Death Note
Code Geass

This guy knows what’s up. Add Attack on Titan, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and Edgerunners and you’ll be set for a bit.

 

[Robot Carnival]

Bible Black.


all jokes aside, most of the suggestions above are great. in your case, I personally would go for Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood first, then the old Berserk anime or the new 3 movie series (don't watch the new 2 seasons series which is trash tier). then Ghost In The Shell, both the 2 movies and the Stand Alone Complex series. add Cowboy Bebop, original 2 seasons Code Geass and Black Lagoon in there. and everything in the Studio Ghibli collection.

 

[Kittehkraken]

Cowboy bebop. Dubbed.

 

[Jenov]

Hah, I was just about to come into this thread and shout Solo Leveling but you got it covered.

Berserk is a good adult anime, but the manga is better. Goblin Slayer is also more dark, but focuses on fantasy setting and strong male protagonist. Claymore is like a female version of Berserk, very violent, dystopian, but with women as main characters.

If you like more lighthearted but similar level up/fantasy idea, Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill is pretty damn fun. There are a ton of isekai anime along those lines.

 

[Dithadder]

Just do a search for "adult anime." Youre gonna find all kinds of great stuff.

Angel Cop

ARRGGH! HE'S A FUCKIN LOBSTER!!!!!

Cant see Kengan Ashura in anyones list yet which is a crime.

6 or so episodes in I saw the main character and his rival. "Yup, I've seen this plot before" I thought to myself. "And look at this other guy, it a massive old dude in a Gi, that's the coolest character I've ever seen! Bet he goes out in the first or second round, he is here to make to other guys look good"

Seriously. Best anime I've seen in years.

"He is on another level!"

 

[Spyxos]

No one really mentioned Akira?

 

[sendit]

La Blue Girl

 

[Hudo]

The usual suspects:

Cowboy Bebop
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Jin-Roh
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Petlabor 1 & 2
Stuff by Hayao Miyazaki (his movies are for all ages, imho)

I can also recommend Dandadan, even though it's a Shounen manga/anime (manga is also heavily recommended!) It's hilarious and cool. Also the best depiction of a romance in a manga like that, imho.

Welcome to the nhk.

 

[ahtlas7]

First few seasons of

Attack On Titan

 

[grvg]

I feel like a new version of both the game and anime is released every year, so I never knew when to start it. What version of the VN is best?

The original vn is best. Iirc it comes with the new version (steins gate elite) which is just the vn with art from the anime.

There are 2 animes which are different series, steins gate and steins gate 0. Steins gate 0 is a sequel of sorts.

 

[DaciaJC]

First few seasons of

Attack On Titan

Why just the first few? The entire series is excellent.

 

[Valonquar]

I really liked Vivy from a few seasons back:

 

[ahtlas7]

Why just the first few? The entire series is excellent.

I just started enjoying it less with each new season. The first few seasons, as I mentioned, are top and I still highly recommend.

 

[Walter Matthau]

No one really mentioned Akira?

OP is asking for anime from the last 25 years, but agreed that the peak for adult oriented anime was around 1982-1995 with Akira being one of the best. I'm also a big fan of the anthologies from this period like Neo Tokyo, Robot Carnival, and Memories along with basically everything from Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku, Ninja Scroll).

The Heroic Legend of Arslan.

One of my top 10.

Ok all I am trying to watch this and I find it frustrating as hell. I am 23 episodes in and

Spoiler

I really must be missing something. Why the hell is everyone still after Tenma after all these years? He's always had an alibi. There is no proof he has killed anyone. He LITERALLY helps anyone he comes across including Lunge. Yet the police are STILL after him and even come up with, well maybe he has split personality. Other f'ing murders occur while he is with other people. So I can see *maybe* if the timeliness is straight up 5 or 6 months and they are trying to pin stuff on him. No, it has been literally years later and they're like, Tenma did it.. Hell I told my wife at this point, they'll kill a vagrant, kill tenma, pin it in him and finish the series. Am I missing something????
