The ghost in the shell movie. I remember rewinding the parts with Motoko in the invisi-suit over and over. It was either that or Armitage III where there was actually straight up human on cyborg-loli boot-knocking.
What was your first mature Anime?

Mine was also Elfen Lied. Remains as one of my favourite anime to this day.
Gotta love excessive gore. Plus the story was beautiful.

I was wondering if anyone else thought the same thing when they saw "mature anime." It just made me laugh.Fwee said:
The first Vampire Hunter D Movie, I don't remember it being all that good, but I may have been too young to understand it at the time.
I saw the second movie sometime later, and I remember it as being much better.

I suppose one would have to think of what "mature anime" means in this context.
If it means, "What was the first anime with tits, gore and violence you ever saw?", then it's Akira.
If you mean, "What was the first anime that made you feel like you're watching something with adult content in it?", that would probably be Gundam Wing. (Yeah, I know it's sort of laughable with it being on Toonami a decade ago and all but with all that political intrigue and philosophizing over the nature of what it means to be a soldier, I think it counts)

Darknight910 makes a very good point, going by the "first anime that made you feel like you're watching something with adult content in it?" definition of mature I would also say either "Gundam Wing", or "Gundam 08th MS team" and, or "Outlaw Star".darknight910 said:
That depends on the definition of mature. the first anime I saw when I began watching lots of anime at the beginning of summer last year was "Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan" Gore and sexual humor galore but not very mature plot wise, otherwise it would be "Elfen Lied" which I watched some weeks later, or "Death Note" which I watched a few years ago.
gundam 8th ms team made me cry in the last episode. i need to go back and watch (i only saw 4 episodes and barely knew what was going on thank god for wikipedia)
my first was either hellsing (only saw 6 episodes read manga though) and wolf's rain stired the soul

that f'd me up a bit.
Well, It would have been the Lupin III film The Secret of Mamo.
First anime I ever saw. Damn good. Got me a taste for anime which was never cured.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and I know it isnt really mature Anime but screw that the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann would rip a hole in the dimensions big enough to make it count.
I only watched That and Haruhi though so yeah. not that big into anime.
