Since /a/ is autistic as fuck, maybe you'll be able to help me. I want some anime that's mature and actually tells a story, and isn't just pedophile masturbatory aids, i.e. no moeshit. I really like Studio Ghibli stuff, especially Pom Poko and Grave of the Fireflies.
/a/ isn't autistic as fuck, you just thought it was a good idea to ask them for requests when /wsr/ exists
anyway Baccano, Cowboy Bebop and Katanagatari are 3 differently themed shows to start you off

rulefags are autists 100% of the time
K-On! tells a really touching story about friendship and growing up. You'd need to be fairly mature to understand it, evidenced by how many drooling knuckledraggers simply don't get it.

I said no pedophile masturbatory aids.
Love Live is good if you're looking for a "grim truth behind the industry" type feel

Tried to post this yesterday but does anyone know an ecchi anime with a bunch of schoolgirls who join a yaht club run by a rich girl and they go on some adventure. They end up finding some futuristic shit.
It's ecchi with pretty much all girl cast, not a harem. Tons of panty shots. Set mainly on a yaht, with a submarine also.
Can't find it anywhere. It's like the first anime I watched and it's probably shit but I want the nostalgia

make your own thread, pedo
>>225177
Here's some I like:
One Punch Man- I know it's standard but it really is worth watching
Shiki- anime about a village that starts getting infected by vampires, quite haunting
Ergo Proxy- futuristic dystopian series about a city in a bubble reliant on androids

"Moeshit" does not exist. It's a term made up by people who hate/don't understand anime, and doesn't actually mean anything.
K-On! fulfills the requirements listed. Mature, tells a story, and doesn't include any "pedophilic" themes.
>>225202
Sounds like Aika R-16
>>225205
OP is being closed minded. K-On! has a great story and isn't perverted at all. Moeshit is when it is just the "cute girls doing cute things" nonsense. Trust OP to ask for something and be a rude shit to everyone in the thread.

I don't hate anime, I just think that whole big-eyed girl who looks like she's 12 thing to be gross.
>>225209
This, tired of people just treating both anime and people bluntly
>>225208
Dude you're a god. This looks like the one. Just as stupid as I remember but obviously my horny post pubescent self loved it. Gonna watch it

You're gonna have a damn hard time finding anime series with a Ghibli type style. The series "Mononoke" has the same story as "Princess Mononoke" but is nothing like it.
Seriously Ghibli is pretty unique. I can't help here

Anime has been primarily about cute girls for several decades, trying to avoid them is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It's possible, but your time is probably better spent doing something else. Like watching western TV dramas or something.
Here are some story-driven shows I like that don't emphasize cuteness of female characters:
Mobile Suit Gundam
Ping Pong the Animation
FLCL (more character driven, but it's a damn good character arc)
Anything done by Satoshi Kon
Good luck OP.
I really do appreciate everyone who has given me actual recommendations and not sarcastic ones.
>>225226
All of my recommendations are serious, you're just heavily biased against something you don't understand.

>being this devoted to a bit
I applaud your dedication, but please stop.
