Top 10 Mature Anime Series
Blood? Check. Nudity? Why not? Intense and frightening scenes? Bring it on! In fact, lets get that mature content warning out of the way because this list is going to show us some intense scenes… starting… now! Welcome to and today we are counting down our picks for Top 10 Mature Anime Series. For this list, we considered only anime that have, shall we say, mature content. We excluded series such as “Death Note” since it is intended for older audiences, but lacks the blood and gore to make this list. We’re ranking these series based on how good the shows are, while factoring in how much they fall under the mature category.

HIGHSCHOOL DXD IS DA BEST
Highschool dxd!!!!
is noone gonna mention Boku no Pico
man the only ones on the list that are considered real maturity (you know not the fake blood and guts mature) are evangelion, blue gender, berserk, paranoia agent, monster and i guess you could argue tokyo ghoul. My point is more gore and entrails doesn't equal more maturity. As fucking awesome as it is to watch hellsing ultimate, it comes nowhere close to the adult themes of evangelion.
Cory in the house> attack on titan
Sorry but Tokyo ghoul should have been number 1 and AOT should have been number 2
Since when mature means bloody?
fuck you, i have seen them all
so mature is all about bloody ? This is stupid. This channel doesnt deserve that many subs, Ive seen a lot of vids from WatchMojo but i just cannot agree to any of them…
were is Shrek
so what hes really saying is everyone is an insane maniac
Haven't seen elfen lied but if it tops Berserk, damn. Berserk has easily been one off my favorite anime. The first anime that made me actually start reading manga, understandably xD
The title should be most violent anime. Maturity and violence arent the same.
Mirinai nikki (I think I spelt it wrong)
I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND I WAS LIKE FUCK YEA LET'S GO ELFEN LIED!
We need a definition for mature here because most of those anime are rather immature…
When They Cry should have been on the list, even if only on the honorable mentions
Actually, some trivia here: Elfen lied is actually pronounced Elfen lead, which is Elfen Song in german.
He said it like lying to someone
1:45 orochimaru wrecked that
Do I agree with your list? No. Since when does blood/gore = mature? I simply agree with what MOST people have already commented.
What about Corpse Party and K?!
How is samurai champloo not on here
Why is every anime is like this
anime is bullshit, watch real cartoons you fucking weebs
I always believe that there is something wrong with an anime when I love the villains more than the heroes. Such is the case with Hellsing. I freaking LOVE The Valentine Brothers. Everyone else… meh.
Ahhhhh… Blue Gender. Back in Adult Swim's heyday. I knew I was going to like this anime when after Yugi wakes up from his cryogenic nap and he sees those big bugs, what's the first thing he do? He wets himself. Ha! You don't see that everyday. Became a fan right at that moment. Lol!
Elfin… FUCKING…LEID. YES…YES… YES!!!!!! No matter how many times I look at this series, those first five minutes slay me every freaking time. And that poor secretary getting the coffee. I always feel so bad. Man she sooooooooo did not deserve that.
I'm going to tell you all now why the live action version of Attack On Titan didn't work for me… nay all of us. I'm not going to talk about the cast, or even the over all look of the settings, since it looks so vastly different from the anime. The main reason why it didn't work was the basic LACK OF THE 3D MANEUVER GEAR. That is the whole reason why we love looking at the anime. Seeing them fly thru the air thru their POV. Think about it… You engage the coil on the 3D Gear… The hooks stab a building… It pulls you. Your body swings towards a building, you foot touches the brick of someone's house… You leap off the building flying high throw the air, swooping past a titan's mouth. You can actually for a brief moment see down his mouth and the bitten thru half dead corpses in the pit of his stomach. The monster's teeth clamp down before it can even bite you. The fury insides you swells up. You maneuver yourself to fly around the giant monster's body, seeing your target. You prepare your sword and then BINGO! You slice thru the monster's nape like it was deli luncheon meat. You fly away as the monster falls to the ground resolving into steam, flesh and giant bones. More of that was missing in the live action version. All until the last 20 minutes when it should have been throughout. They barely even trained with it. That's why the L-A AOT didn't work… at least it didn't for me.
yes number 1 is extremly violent
ive watched elfen lied a lot
