Comment on I'm tired of teen superheroes

Back in the 90’s anime had men and women doing awesome shit. There was sex and violence. There were characters I could relate to.

Can you suggest some 90s anime with sex and violence?

Cowboy Bebop and the Ghost in the Shell movies are great places to start.

Anyway, it’s not so much a change in what’s being produced as what’s being imported to the US. There was a good mix of shonen and seinen at first, but shonen sells more merch so we get a lot of it now. Just watch stuff tagged as seinen if you want more mature themes or more sex and gore.

    Black Lagoon is sooo bad though. Cowboy and GitS are GOATs.

    I thought I was responding to a comment about comics lol
    
    Yeah anime Wolverine was not very grusome. Even popular American anime like the Simpsons, and Loonytoons were strictly cartoonist violence.
