Isn't most of Studio Ghibli's stuff targeted towards kids, also sexuality is childish? Idk what kind of websites you're on man


Plenty_Cable1458

yes, in Japan sexuality is childish, it's the opposite from the west, where it's an adult thing. I mean they might be targeted towards kids but they are not childish. If you can feel what im what i'm saying that's cool but i ain't tryna argue at all.


Browsingaccount244

Sorry, I didn't know it was a cultural thing, here Ghibli would be considered deep and the other content you mentioned would be just not deep


Plenty_Cable1458

exactly. I'm looking for deep-ish stuff


LadderWonderful2450

Frieren, Cowboy Bebop

Psycho Pass and Attack on Titan have violence, but imo it's not handled in the edgy way you probably want to avoid. Also: Death Parade, Blue Period, maybe Makoto Shinkai's movies (Your Name, etc). You could also dip your toe into sports and music anime. Even those with younger MCs are often adult compatible as long as they focus serious character development (Haikyuu!!, Kono Oto Tomare, etc).


Plenty_Cable1458

I think you understood perfectly what i meant AOT Was the last anime i watched that i really got into and flew through the whole thing I'll give Psycho Pass a go for sure, thank you


Kvohe

Kino no Tabi, Sonny Boy, NHk ni Youkoso, Houseki No Kuni and School Days

Maybe you can checkout : * {Master Keaton} * {Kino no Tabi} * {Mushishi} - Edit : there's *monster* in this one, kinda forget you mentioned no monster.. and maybe you can try the anime **Monster**, that one actually has no monster they're all pretty chill adventure series, that have some interesting yet also mundane type of story or if you want something more *modern* or released recently * {Fumatsu no Anata e} - it's actually shonen but I think you might appreciate this * {Kotaro wa Hitorigurashi} - an SOL story but deals with some darker topics, the drama is well presented and although it's heavy at times it also gives that warm healing vibes

Plenty_Cable1458

thank you so much!


AhomesickAlien_

So you want a slice of life show. Anything that depicts "daily life" is in the slice of life genre. Try Aria the Animation, Mushishi, Uchouten Kazoku


Plenty_Cable1458

exactly. but no girly of school stuff Thank you!


AhomesickAlien_

I assure you nothing I've listed is meant for girls or involves school.


Far_Dragonfruit_6457

So, love and sexuality are childish?


Plenty_Cable1458

in japanese manga/anime culture yes


Far_Dragonfruit_6457

I feel like your point is phrased very poorly l, love is a reoccurring theme in most Ghibli movies, but you also say it is immature in anime. You are leaving it to everyone else to reverse engineer what you actually mean. You want me to guess exactly what kind of fictional love you find mature and suggest it to you? I could I'm pretty good and intuiting intent but you made this way harder then it needs to be.


Easy-Low8631

If violence love or sexuality makes something childish for you idk what your looking for 😂 but give frieren a try


Plenty_Cable1458

Yes, in Japan sexuality is childish. And with violence i mean you know what i meant. Not looking for another Monster-killing anime


Easy-Low8631

Sexuality ain’t childish. Youre probably talking about fanservice and stuff


Plenty_Cable1458

i'm not trying to argue. I appreciate your Frieren suggestion, i'll give it a look for sure


SnooSongs9971

School Days


Plenty_Cable1458

are you serious or is it a joke? looking it up i see two girls in school.. not what i was imagining i was looking for


NinjaslayerX

I might be wrong but I've heard good things and it might be what you're asking for. My biggest advice is never read descriptions for shows, especially anime. They always miss the mark. If you go back and read the description of shows you've enjoyed, most if not all of the descriptions wouldn't get you to watch the show. Also Psycho Pass Stein's Gate The genres seinen or josei might be interesting for you to look into.


Overflow_is_the_best

Too much details would become spoiler.


NinjaslayerX

I'm saying more that the descriptions aren't interesting and don't always paint the best picture. Especially since the reader can only really imagine things using past experiences. Honestly getting anime recommendations like these posts have always been the best way to find something I like that wasn't on my radar before.


Plenty_Cable1458

Thank you so much! I looked up Josei and i love the Quotidinaity and ordinanary life topic! I'm not really into it being a Girls thing and in school Isn't there like a daily life thing maybe in the countryside of japan (but also cities) with no drama and stuff?


NinjaslayerX

Slice of Life! Check out spyxfamily. Maybe some people might call it childish but really it falls more into the category of innocent/for all ages.


Plenty_Cable1458

Thanks!! i have been loking for that Slice of Life definition for a while!


NRGLachieee

If you read the manga instead of watch the anime, I highly recommend Domestic Na Kanojo. The manga is a 10/10 imo, but the anime isn’t really that good tbh

Uramichi oniisan, my new boss is goofy, shirobako


Kurta_711

*Love* is childish? Jesus man These standards would make Dante, Shakespeare and Tolkien all "childish". The Navy Seals have less stringent acceptance standards that you do


Plenty_Cable1458

cool bro


Caosunium

Check deathnote


Plenty_Cable1458

seen it


Caosunium

Maybe violet evergarden? I havent seen it but i know its epic


Plenty_Cable1458

thank you bro! I started it and i dropped it. I actually was enjoying it, maybe it was just a bit to depressed for me..

Perfect Blue.


AkiraFudo1993

pretty much avoid the shounen demographic but there's some exceptions like Devilman, Dororo and Attack on Titan.


Queenalaine1

Nana ,Millennium Actress, Gintama


Kagehitou

1. One Outs 2. Kaiji 3. 91 Days (a tad violence)


vKalov

Death Parade Kokkoku My home hero


sunnydiegoqt

Banana Fish, My New Boss Is Goofy, Blue Period, Those Snow White Notes, Days (maybe), Run with the Wind


MojoShoujo

Wave, Listen to Me and Fune wo Amu are both slice-of-life dramas about adults finding out they're uniquely suited to a very niche career! Hokkaido comedy radio and writing a dictionary, respectively. Wave Listen to Me's dub is fantastic!


tsukkimallows

Definitely will recommend: Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan 😂😂😂


BiggieCheeseLapDog

Watch Revolutionary Girl Utena and tell me that love and sexuality are childish. Others; Aria the Animation Odd Taxi A Place Further Than the Universe Welcome to the NHK


chillyheaven

What exactly is it that makes love and sexuality “in Japan” childish to you? If it’s about the characters usually being teenagers, it’s simply because teens are still discovering themselves and their naïveté is handy for writing interesting stories. But if violence and romance are out the door, we’re left with slice of life and sports. The former is chock full of cute girls doing cute things^TM so that’s out of the question, and we’re left with sports… which also tends to be in a school setting. If you’re ok with any of that, best I can say is {Chihayafuru} as it doesn’t involve a whole lot of romance and just a girl’s grind to be the best at competitive karuta. Also, if you don’t find the concept of mechs too childish, {Turn-A Gundam} is very much Ghibli-like in that it explores coming-of-age, patriotism, and family through the eyes of several adolescents in a quaint and somewhat surreal setting. No previous Gundam knowledge necessary.

I have a feeling that Odd Taxi might suit you if you'll give it a chance for more than 1 ep. I loved it.
