  +1 for Black Lagoon, W anime pick.

  Also for Ghost in the Shell, PatLabor, and Redline.

  I will also add on:

  • Jin-Roh/Jin-Rou (not the Korean live action from 2019), but it does briefly show a child on screen as a supporting character, and I dont remember if Kei was over 18-20 or not

  • AD Police Files, and its related series Parasite Dolls

  • Space Dandy (maybe, that anime had like a billion characters and I dont remember if all of them were adults or not, but its not exactly a kid oriented anime)

    Black Lagoon is one of the most underrated shows. People who have seen it usually love it, but not enough people have seen it.

    I need to watch Jin-Roh sometime.

      Yeah, Black Lagoon is lots of fun. I was so sad that it ended.

      Jin-Roh slaps, just make sure you’re prepared for it. It’s a pretty heavy, typical Japanese war film, I don’t want to spoil anything so I will just leave it at that. Soundtrack is god-tier though.

  Patlabor 2 is one of my all-time favorites, but it’s not very well-known. In a way it feels too mature and slow to be a wide hit, I guess.

  The main cast would have grown into adults later on, and based how what’s released of the anime so far, I wouldn’t count it as “mostly” adults.

    You’re right, I misremembered how old the characters were. I removed it from my post. I must have thought that because it dealt with a lot of mature themes and war kind of forces kids to grow up fast.
