Anime for mature audiences


Can anyone recommend some anime with a mature story line sort of like:

Berserk - Loved it
Gungrave - Pretty much my favourite anime
Wolfs Rain - Amazing story and ending
Death Note
Ninja Scroll


Don't get me wrong i love anime like Naruto and cowboy bebop, but i'd like to sink my teeth into some new anime with mature plots for older people (i'm 22)

baccano
serial experiments lain
welcome to the NHK
gantz
code geass - probably best anime ever

What should one care to say?

Oh no you didn't. Please do not ever, ever, ever, lump Cowboy Bebop in with Naruto, or put them in the same sentence for that matter, unless you're saying how much better CB is.

i agree, the two are hardly similar except that they're both overrated

Baccano and Texhnolyze both have a mafia theme similar to Gungrave.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood - By far my favorite anime, I prefer Brotherhood because it follows the manga. (the first Full Metal Alchemist got ahead of the manga and continued and it was still very good, though i just prefer the manga)

Steins;Gate - My 2nd favorite anime, I just love the story and the sudden dark parts, plus I'm a geek for time travel stories and character development based animes.... El Psy Congroo

Monster - Don't know what to say, other then expect a freakishly good story.

Claymore - Kinda like Berserk, but with chicks I guess? :P I watched it after I was finshed with Berserk back in the days, liked it enough to pick up the manga :)

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - Awesome story, very good characters, good action

Paranoia Agent - Prepare to look *beep* up.

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom - Story that follows 2 mafia hit men.

Trigun - Under the silly and comedic parts there is a great story about the hardships of staying true to your morales.

I'm sorry, what? I know this is late but seriously Cowboy Bebop is one of the most mature for adult animes out there. Unless, you're talking about the fact that it's not gory and there's not alot of hard swearing or nudity but so what. You don't need swearing, blood and tits to be mature and Cowboy Bebop certainly isn't an anime for younger people
