Alright lads, I've not watched anime in almost a decade.

Monster.

I'm not very good at recommending anime to people who hate anime, but I guess try Samurai Champloo? Maybe Baccano too. I don't know what will trigger your hatred of "weeb" culture.

Looks good thanks

For lack of a better word, you know what I mean. Let's just say what /a/ would consider fantastic watching.

Best way I can describe it is like Studio Ghibli, aside from their films directed at children. I like all of them, they don't have any kawaii/moe/pandering/fan service vibes. They have a story and they tell it, they don't include any story telling narratives like 'Super Cool Guy' like you would see in most animes.

For more of an example, I like Bleach or liked, it has a good story but it's plagued by those 'narratives', it has moe/kawaii moments, it has the emphasise on super badass hero moments and so on.

Basically I'm after animes that obviously aren't centred around high school romance drama, but something with a good story and its narrative doesn't pick up on any of the cues that plague most animes.

Sorry if that's complicated.

One that you might like is The Legend of Legendary Heroes.

It fits your description and has an extremely awesome main character.

Make sure to watch the dub, however, because I found the sub's voice actors to be much worse.

I really like the look of Baccano, I recognise a few movies in there I've been suggested by friends.

Thanks the pair of you, got a nice list going here.
