My GF likes Psycho Pass and AOT - which other anime should we check out?

hey guys, my girlfriend and I have started watching some anime together and we discovered that she likes more mature animes

She enjoyed AoT and we're going through Psycho Pass. I'm planning to put Berserk next in the queue but after that I'm kinda in the dark

Which anime would you guys recommend we watch? I'm cautious about doing Cowboy Bebop since the entire experience doesn't make a lot of sense from the outset

Thanks!

Code geass , Vinland saga

NumbersInBoxes2026-01-07 18:43

_Made In Abyss_ (on Hi-Dive, I think, lest ye be a sailin' the high seas) is similarly unflinichingly punishing to its protags.

Toothlees_cat2026-01-07 19:38

How much therapy do I need to recover from watching half of the list?

Local_Pickle_47172026-01-07 19:40

That's for you to find out.

Good list

The Witch and the Beast next.

Not sure how Cowboy Bebop doesn't make sense.

arrow_why2026-01-07 19:18

My bad, what I meant to say is that its plot structure isn't necessarily conventional - we learn more about the protags through their *reactions* rather than them driving the plot through direct action. I'd rather we start off with something easier to wrap your head around!

ghostpickleonastick2026-01-07 19:30

I guess I never saw it that way.

Lovely. Thank you so much! We should check out some Satoshi Kon soon

As a quick heads up, if interested in watching Higurashi When They Cry (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni), make sure you start with either: the [2006 anime](https://myanimelist.net/anime/934/Higurashi_no_Naku_Koro_ni) (and it's [second half Kai](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1889/Higurashi_no_Naku_Koro_ni_Kai)), the original visual novel, or the manga adaptation.

The 2020 anime Higurashi When They Cry: New (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: Gou), is a sequel to the original story, not a remake. **Don't accidentally start with Gou**, as it's full of spoilers.

(_Note: in most (if not all) regions, the only Higurashi anime on Crunchyroll, is Gou. Also, the original Visual Novel is currently available on Steam, under the title"Higurashi When They Cry: Hou", with the first arc being free to download._).

The Apothecary Diaries

Dororo

Barangat2026-01-07 19:09

ID:Invaded has a similar vibe to PsychoPass in my opinion

HolyDonuts952026-01-07 19:20

Seen all the other recommendations, but I think you two may enjoy Parasyte: The Maxim.

Black Lagoon if she’s a gangsta

BusyHoney97672026-01-07 22:23

Dorohedoro seems like one she might enjoy that hasn't been mentioned. It's dark and gritty, but also fun.

Super_AJ1012026-01-07 23:09

After Berserk, you should probably go for something light-hearted...

nuanimal2026-01-08 02:05

Can't believe no one has said Parasyte: The Maxim.

Really fits the adult themed and violence of the other shows you mentioned.
