Can somebody, PLEASE, recommend me an Anime (preferably recent so that I most likely haven't seen it) like Castlevania, Berserk, Claymore, Vampire Hunter D etc?

Just some Dark Fantasy anime that doesn't star some faggy teenage protagonist or involve a shitty school setting.

Problem is those animes were made when asians were obsessed with western media.
Theres not alot like it, and most of them are movies

Just give me anything m8, doesn't have to be full weebshit

*coughs*

p-p-please....
>>
>>350934
I understand how you feel, The kawaii weebshit gives me metaphorical cancer as well.
Im gonna assume you just need a serious tone and gore type of anime.

All of these i've seen, except one, i dont think any of them has kawaii weeb bullshit except for terrarformars season 2, so dont touch that

Attack on titan (dont let the hype discourage you from watching it)
Hellsing Ultimate (the original is slower paced and hand drawn like old beserk so watch the original hellsing if you just want slower pacing)
Drifters (same creators of hellsing)
Hunter x Hunter (Starts happy gets serious quickly)
Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu (its in school setting sometimes but dont let it bother you)
Gantz ( I recommend reading this, the anime is awful)
Mirai Nikki ( I havent finished but it wasnt that bad)
Akira (movie)
Terraformars (WATCH ONLY THE FIRST SEASON, DO NOT CLICK ON SECOND SEASON OR YOU WILL SERIOUSLY REGRET IT PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING)
JoJos bizzare adventure (its mostly serious but it doesnt beat you into sadness all the time)
Gyo (now i havent seen the anime, but the manga was really good. This is a risky watch, you might waste your time idk)
>>
Drifters is a good one.
G.A.T.E. (the manga is a lot better though) Darker than Black
Akame ga Kill
D.Gray Man (maybe)
Ajin (maybe)
>>
Bastard!!
>>
>>350957
Ajin is CGI trash
GATE is harem, loli, ecchi. not serious enough
>>
Try Cassherm sins.
It's not "fantasy" but it's really dark and pretty similar in tone to the shows you listed.
>>
>>350940

>Attack on titan
Been meaning to check this out for a while. Fuck it, i'll look into it.
>Hellsing Ultimate
Watched it, it was top tier
>Drifters (same creators of hellsing)
Man, I just couldn't get into this for some reason. Might try it out again.

I think it's the pseudo fantasy setting.
>Hunter x Hunter
Tried it and I just fucking hate Shounens. Way to many episodes and all of that "power up" stuff just kills me.
>Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu
Just checked out the first episode. Man, that school setting is also killing me.
>Gantz
Watched the anime. It was mindless fun, heard the manga is way better but i'm not too into Manga (except for Berserk like the casual scrub that I am)
>Mirai Nikki
Tried out the first episode also. Pink haired kawaii girls and teenage boy protagonists is all I need to drop anime and this had that within the opening moments.
>Akira (movie)
Seen it, legit god tier.
>Terraformars
Seen Season 1 already. It's good but i'm not really after Sci Fi. What's wrong with seaosn 2?
>JoJos bizzare adventure
Seen that, never really got the hype of the series but I do see the appeal.
>Gyo
Seen the Anime, it's surprisingly decent

Eh, guess i'll keep looking and probably try out Attack on Titan and retry Drifters.

Moeshit, school settings and 1000000+ episodes is my kryptonite when it comes to Anime.

What happened to shit like Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D Bloodlest? Now everything is pink haired girls that all look the same.

>>350959

Genuinely might check that out. Watched a few episodes a while back and it was decent.

>>351037

Seen it, it was decent.
>>
the only things that come to my mind are psycho-pass(Sci Fi) and afro samurai (its like 5 episodes and a movie)
>>
Record of Lodoss War
>>
>>350919
castlevania is not an anime you fag
>>
>>350919
A lot of stuff has already been posted, so here's what lies at the edges:

Chaika the Coffin Princess (Hitsugi no Chaika)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (don't be fooled by the beginning of the series)

Even though you already listed Berserk, it might be worth making sure you've seen the 2011-2012 (3) movie releases.
>>
lmao did you seriously drop mirai nikki because of the protagonists
you won't get anywhere with that mindset desu
>>
>>Mirai Nikki
>Pink haired kawaii girls

If you ever get around to giving it another look, you'll probably laugh that this was your first impression.
>>
>>350919
>doesn't star some faggy teenage protagonist or involve a shitty school setting
your first impression of it is indeed wrong, but Mirai Nikki still fails on both those counts and thus is not for you
the anime's two decent moments are not worth the bad CG and bland presentation
manga's all right though
>something to watch
Elfen Lied? old, and apparently it's a romance at heart
>>
>>351116

I've tried both of those and I just can't get past those shit tier protagonist designs. I get the fact that it's "lol, it's actually a genre reversal and even though it seems cute at first glance, it's actually super dark!" but seeing moeshit as a center piece in Anime will never NOT be an instant show killer for me.

Also seen all of the Berserk movies.

>>351153
>>351147

I just can't take it seriously, no matter what it's trying to do with its "ironic" setting.

>Kawaii girl protagonists
>School setting

No thanks

You could always try Scrapped Princess, Chaika's spiritual predecessor based on the work of the same author. It's way less moe, and just about everyone is named after guns or gun companies for some reason. Also try Record of Lodoss War for some very western DnD style fantasy.
