No I'm not talking about porn, basically anime that is targeted towards adults. The only anime TV shows I got into were Berzerk and Afro Samurai and really liked those. My friend recommended Rouri Kenshin (Samurai X) TV show (not the OVA's), and after watching up to episode 8, I thought it was average, some of the comedy seemed childish and looked like it was from Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z, and the fighting was a downgrade from the violence from Berzerk and Afro Samurai.
Anyway's I am looking for something with:
-action (sorry no dramas, romance etc, unless it's a side story to the action)
-good story telling (things I like, mythology, politics, consipiracy, end of the world, war and etc)
-good characters (characters have some depth, and not just going through the motions)
-no movies (I'm looking for a TV show not a movie)
-adult (violence, curse words, boobs, and etc are all good, if none are there it doesn't matter as long it is not childish ie Pokemon, DBZ)
-NEW I actually don't care if the series isn't adult, the 2 main things I care about are:
STORY: I'd like the plot to be something that continues, with a big story arc, basically after each episode finishes I want to be like "damn, need to see what happens next".
ACTION: This is a must for me, not interested unless it has action, though that doesn't mean story should take a back seat.
EDIT:
OK just an update, I decided to give Samurai X another go by skipping the filler episodes of Season 1 and only watching the first 11 episodes for character introductions. I watched Season 2 and thought it was quite good. The next show I am going to watch is Cowboy Bebob (note I only watch one show at a time), I will probably check out Ghost in the Shell after that, then I don't know but I'll use this thread for the next decision.
Also for the people who are saying what i'm looking for isn't adult and violence, curse words and boobs are all childish. I may have been misunderstood, I meant that is a plus for me however if the plot and characters is adult I don't really care about that stuff.
Also what I meant when I said "no dramas, romance etc", I didn't mean I don't want this at all, I meant I don't want this to be the main focus for example, I am not looking for a court drama anime (even if the plot is really adult), I want something with at the least a bit of action but with a top notch cast, dialogue and story. Berzerk and Samurai X are good examples, they have action but the story and characters and dialogue are all top notch (warning some may disagree).
EDIT 2
Damn, I made this thread over a year ago, I have no idea who bumped this thread again. Anyway since I created this thread, I have watched only 3 animated series as I have been busy more than I expected.
Cowboy Bebop - did not like this and gave up halfway through, some episodes were interesting, but I prefer shows that have a story arc that continues, yes I know am gonna get a lot of hate for this comment
Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes - stopped watching after a few episodes, I did not like this which was surprising as I enjoy other superhero cartoons like Spiderman (90s and Spectacular), X-Men Evolution, Justice League. Maybe I need to check out Batman TAS, as I heard good things about that.
Avatar - this was incredible, it is probably the best animated show I have ever watched beating Berzerk and Rouri Kenshin
I currently have a lot of free time and may watch another animated series, currently I am watching Game of Thrones (not a animated series), but after I finish marathoning this series I will probably check out another animated series. I am thinking of checking out Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, is it any good.
