Any recommendations for someone who fell out of love with Anime?
I’m 40+, I used to love animes like cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, paranoia agent, Gantz, Parasyte, and anything coming from Satoshi Kon or Junji Ito.
I tend to prefer mature themes - and I’d rather avoid anything with « cute » characters or any anime where we hear the thoughts of the characters for minutes in a row and about 10-15 times per episode.
I tried Attack on titan and though the story seemed neat, I just couldn’t put up with the endless pauses during which each character’s inner thoughts are shared.
Every other month I try to look up new releases but surely I must be missing out
on something

My hometown hero - thriller, suspense
Vinland Saga - action, drama
I’ll look those up, thanks!
Otherwise I think there must be some lists on the internet that list modern mature anime or something.
Never heard of Orb, will look into it.
Thanks!
- Sword of the Stranger
- Journal With Witch - airing
- Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Watch the first two prequel films then skip to EP3 of the main OVA. There is also the Gaiden prequel that is worth watching.
- Baccano! - Highly recommend the dub
- Vinland Saga
- Chainsaw Man - is a YA action series, that on the surface can be kinda crude, that said I think you may like it, if that was your main issue with AOT
- Haibane Renmei
- Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit
- Banana Fish
- Black Lagoon - highly recommend the dub
- Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - you can watch this completely standalone, no prior experience with Gundam necessary - standalone universe and complete story.
- Ping Pong the Animation
- Odd Taxi
- Golden Kamuy
- Look Back
- The Big O
OP a lot of great shows in this list but Golden Kamuy, Banana fish and Ping Pong are some of my favourite anime series. Also if your itching for old school samurai anime Sword of the stranger is an all time classic
terror in resonance
Steins; Gate
91 days
Kingdom (1st season animation is a bit dicey)
Dan da Dan- YA but will really funny and very good.
Tojima wants to be Kamen rider
Serial experiment lain
Not anime but also check out Pantheon Scavengers Rein and common side effects
Onihei
Seirei no Moribito
Vinland Saga
Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Golden Kamuy
Pluto
Inuyashiki
Chi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite

I have a lot of Animes in my memory but from your message I really don’t know what to suggest. I recommended here only broad interests. Good for anyone.
