Tongue twisters. Phonetically challenging. Orthographically complex.

Looking for more to add to the stack. Suggestions welcomed!!!

This is a collection of seinen anime that often caters to more mature audiences that value anime as a serious, more cinematic and "highbrow" artform. These are anime series and movies that film aficionados and non-anime fans can also appreciate due to their artistry and quality.

These series are often experimental, cinematic, viscerally emotional and artistically impressive- often ignoring commercial pressures and pop culture trends, instead being driven by a passion for artistry and storytelling.

These series often have themes related to existentialism, mystery, conspiracy, psychology, and literature, and sometimes can feel more like arthouse films in their creative and unique animation and directorial styles.

Some of these series are extremely popular, while many are sadly overlooked and obscure. Some of these series are mature in an intellectual, more academic definition, while others are simply "mature" due to their use of gore and violence to shock or differentiate themselves from more commercial, easily digestible anime.

In general, though, these are series that feel like honest, uncynical works that come from the creators heart, filling in a much needed niche that caters to older fans, while also feeling refreshingly artistic and unique.

Series and Films will only feature the FIRST entry in the series, out of brevity and so this list will not exceed the 50 series entry limit.

This series are also not in any real order, and for some series, I've written some pretty lengthy writeups. For some, I did not write a word, likely because the show is ubiquitously known or appreciated, and other times because I simply did not have anything meaningful to add that has not been already said.

Animes that stand out due to their distinctive Art Styles
