    Thanks.

    Demon slayer I’m fully caught up on. Its disappointing simply bc there was potential with the material that I feel is wasted.

    Ive been recommended attack on titan and devilman too.

    I’ll take a look at these

  Steins;Gate gets quite dark and serious, but it starts out pretty goofy, so if you’re trying to avoid comedy it would leave a pretty bad first impression. I don’t think I would recommend pushing yourself through the earlier parts to get to the later parts either, because you do need a certain attachment to the characters to appreciate the latter.

  Vinland Saga, from what you’ve written, seems more up your alley. In a similar vein (bloody serious historical fiction) I also recommend Orb.

  Other than that, Pluto and Monster, both thrillers based on manga by Urasawa Naoki, are very straight-laced.

  Steins;Gate has a particular kind of humor. My gut feeling is that if you’re bothered by anime humor in general in other shows you probably won’t like it, but I don’t know your specific tastes.

    That’s disappointing. It generally sounded interesting but i dont want any humour at this point.

    Thanks

      I can’t think of any other shows that deal with time travel off the top of my head, but if you want some more serious sci-fi flavored shows, maybe try Ghost in the Shell?

  what great anime’s are there that avoid any comedy?

  +1 for Vinland Saga

  I am still going through Steins;Gate so I shall reserve judgement on it.

  I think most of the anime in these lists would suit your taste (if you see comedy among an anime’s genre, or it looks cute-sy, skip it):

  • Peak Gundam (war and politics)
  • Peak Drama
  • Peak Suspense
  • Peak Thriller

  Here’s a few war anime to save you a click:

  • 86
  • Gundam: The Origin
  • Saga of Tanya the Evil
  • Attack on Titan
