Baccano! [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/anime/6404-Anime-Review-Baccano]
Classic gangster drama with touches of horror, ultraviolence, and comedy. 16 episodes long. And no prominent element of sexualization in sight, which I'm assuming is what you're aiming for in regard to that whole "pervert" thing.
This man has wisdom for you. Take his advice I say. Mobsters, Immortals... Immortal mobsters!? And it's pretty darned well written to boot. Stick with it about 3-4 episodes, trust me on this. So many interesting and unique characters. You'll be happy you watched it.

Cromartie High School is short and hilarious. It's got monkeys, robots and Freddie Mercury. The english dub is actually good, the Japanese version has Norio Wakamoto.
And then there's this: Watch it. You'll thank me.
Thankyou sir, you have just posted my favorite 2:40 seconds of any anime ever. I always wished they'ed make more of this show. I also second any recommendation of cromartie high.
If I may:
Berserk: It's dark, it's intelligent, it's medieval. Check it out. One of the best and longest running manga epics around, a great introduction is through the show.
Spice and Wolf: It's a show with mystery, detective and romance elements. It's got fantasy elements but has nothing to do with magic or battles... and well everything to do with economics. It's... different. But I liked it.
Claymore: More fantastic elements than berserk, features a female protagonist. She's quite a likeable character. More in the classic Shonen style in some respects and the ending takes a big left turn from the manga, but it's still a good show, with some darned nice scoring.
