By adult, I do not mean anything explicit or shocking. I mean stories that truly feel grown up and real. Shows that deal with loneliness, regret, work life, broken relationships, aging, money problems, mental health, or the quiet weight of everyday life. I have seen many slice of life shows, but most of them still feel very youthful or ideal. I am looking for recommendations where the characters feel like real adults with real problems. Something slow, grounded, and sometimes uncomfortable. Stories about drifting apart from people, unfulfilled dreams, routine life, isolation, or trying to find meaning when life does not turn out the way you expected. I would really like some underrated or lesser known recommendations and to know why they felt so adult to you.

I’ve been watching anime since I’ve been a kid and feel like I’ve watched every good 12 ep anime out there, looking for some new 12ep anime’s that will leave me gobsmacked by the end, whether that’s bc of good storyline or stupid plots. Looking for something that will have me at the edge of my seat or sobbing at my screen, a truly worthwhile 12ep!
