What was your first mature Anime?

[Kud]

Princess lover.

 

[Doitpow]

i watched a lot of hentai

 

[moretimethansense]

That all depends on your definition of mature
mature story: Cowboy Bebop/Outlaw star (One was on right after the other)
Mature Gore: Again Bebop/Star were the first ones I saw with onscreen blood
Mature Porn: Bible Black

 

[Sonicron]

Definitely Neon Genesis Evangelion. Some very explicit content in that series.

 

[Ultress]

I'll say to go with Death note . If that doesn't count then Code Geass and if neither of them count then .Hack//Sign

 

[Balaxe]

Hellsing.

While your waiting for us to eat you we highly recommend pissing yourself
followed by a course of praying to your impentant god
then cowering in the corning and begging always good
but if you act now there's still time for a good old fashion suicide!

That was one of my favourite parts.

 

[A Person]

Gurren Lagann

...Or Fooly Cooly? I Don't Know.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Akira

I saw it when I was 11 and Kaori's death seriously fucked me up.

 

[nimbylive]

Vampire Hunter D. It was dark, twisted, and had more blood than any cartoon before it. Akira soon followed and sealed my fate as someone who enjoys anime.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Neon Genesis Evangelion was my first.
The psychological and philosophical depth are truely perfect and about as much adult you can get before you have 28 grandchildren.

 

[likalaruku]

Oh, that's a tough one. I used to rent them in packs. I was probably 10 when I saw blood, nudity, decapitation, & sex in anime. So I guess it was about 1993.

[Dimbo_Sama]

Guyver, the original series which incedently was the first anime I ever saw

 

[Warrior Irme]

I have only seen 4-5 anime series in my life so I'll pipe in with the one I think will fit the best. Welcome to the NHK. Wonderful series for those that have not seen it.

 

[Andantil]

Truly honestly mature? as in a well thought out anime for matture people made in a mature way, with good pacing, an involving plot, and deep characters? Haibane Renmei.

But if you mean mature as in violence, nudity, etc. then Elfen Lied.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Ghost in the shell, which was the actual defintion of mature, and not 'mature' just because it had tits in it.

Though the tits didn't hurt...

 

[MetaKnight19]

I think Elfen Lied was the first, to be honest I didn't really care for it. I didn't give it a chance the first time, I watched the first episode then just sort of forgot about it.

 

[gothicboris]

Movie - Akira
Anime - Outlaw Star

 

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

Probably Full Metal Alchemist.
Or Bleach.
