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.

Btw folks a question from someone who watches barely any anime. Probably about 10 shows. I hate anime humour, the comedy always destroys the mood of the show and I cant take it seriously anymore.
I liked berserk which was serious throughout, what great anime’s are there that avoid any comedy?
Do Vinland saga or steins gate do it? I might start one of those

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?

Alrighty thanks.

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

Vinland Saga is definitely serious. Will recommend.
Demon Slayer
The Idaten Deities Only Know Peace
Blade of the Immortal
Akame ga Kill
Ishura
Arslan Senki
Hakuoki Sekkaroku
Attack on Titan
Dororo
Devilman Crybaby

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.

Great. Thanks for that
