Inuyasha has only a few episodes involving high-school, but after the first 40 episodes it gets a bit boring.
Recommend me an anime(that isn't about kids in high school.)

Darker than Black and its OVA DtB: Gaiden are great if you really like character-driven shows.
Baccano! will give you that Prohibition-era gangsters fix.
And Psycho Pass is a noir cyberpunk adventure about mental instability and guns that make people explode. If you didn't cream your pants reading that sentence I think you need to consult a doctor.

Eh, Kill La Kill is 4 episodes in and still revolving around hichschool/academics...even though it's completely batshit insane and hilarious. I foresee the rest of the show not really moving on from that setting since the good ol' "you must defeat all the mini-bosses then beat the final boss" seems to be in play.Liam Guzzo said:
Definitely recommend Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann though, not a single school in sight except that 1 episode where Yoko is a teacher
"Grimdark" implies extreme/darkness done to such an over-the-top and juvenile degree that it loses all of it's emotional impact and becomes either tiresome or hilarious, like Warhammer 40k. Fate/Zero isn't that, it's well done in every sense of the word.Nikolaz72 said:
Episode 5 suggested that the mini-boss-of-the-week isn't going to happen and not everything is going to take place in Honnouji Academy.Yuuki said:Eh, Kill La Kill is 4 episodes in and still revolving around hichschool/academics...even though it's completely batshit insane and hilarious.

Kill la Kill is so far devorced from your typical high school anime that I'm going to recommend it to the OP anyway. I know a lot of people say to "turn your brain off", but I appreciate it more when I left it on. Because like all Hiroyuki Imaishi works, it appears dumb but has some substance under the surface. Here, the substance is a commentary about the Japanese schooling system, mainly there uniforms and what they represent. The fanservice is a little annoying but it hasn't stopped me from watching it, because I can always scroll down during transformation sequences.
