Remember when cartoons were all sugary cereal and talking animals? Yeah, anime never got that memo. This is a world where giant robots battle existential dread, werewolves attend high school, and space cowboys contemplate the meaning of life (between bounty hunting gigs, of course).
So put away the juice boxes, folks, because we're diving deep into the world of anime for grown-ups.
These are the shows that prove animation can tackle complex themes, gritty realities, and emotional punches that'll leave you reeling (in the best way possible).
