Which anime do you enjoy with a mostly adult cast of characters? (lemm.ee)

By adult I mean over 18-20 years of age and with adult appearances. Nothing against anime with younger characters, but interested in finding some with older characters.

My favorites have been :

Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Big dumb gay robots
Mobile Fighter G Gundam - Big dumb straight robots
Redline - Just some fun racing action. Some of the best animation I've ever seen.
Wotakoi - Love story between nerdy office workers
Legend of the Galactic Heroes - The best space opera
One Punch Man - depressed superhero

Redline is unironically one of my favorite movies. It's just so silly, and I love it. "We're losing the race, what do we do!?" "What if we pressed the pedal down...harder" And then they go faster.

Redline proved to me that you don't necessarily need a good story to have an excellent movie. You just need a story that isn't bad, and then if you make everything cool as hell it'll work out.
