I don't like hentai, but I want something for mature audience. I don't like violence either. I read Suicide Club (manga) and it scarred me for life. No horror, violence, gore, etc. I have a weak heart... Lol.

Please provide summaries! Thanks!

Not sure if you'll consider this an answer but just to comment anyway, I was about to suggest a couple of my favorite animes which have more mature themes to it but since you mentioned you have a weak heart, I lost my chance. ^_^ Too bad. I'd say they're quite good although they have a lot of violence.



I'm also not sure if you're willing to watch a spin-off without watching the original, but if you are, I'd suggest Rurouni Kenshin Reflections.



Reflections is the second OVA of Rurouni Kenshin, the story of an infamous and highly skilled assasin in the Tokugawa era who regretted taking away so many lives that he chose to become a wanderer to seek atonment for his crimes. It's storyline is divided into 3 segments: the first OVA RK Tsuioku Hen/Trust and Betrayal chronicles his tragic life as a boy who was saved from impending death up to his early years as the feared and ruthless Battousai the Slasher and eventually the story behind his famous cross-shaped scar. Following this OVA is the tv series which revolves around Kenshin's new life with his newfound friends after wandering around the country for years. This one shows less bloodshed as compared to the previous but it still has a lot as Kenshin is forced every now and then to assume his former persona as Battousai to defend the people he loves and the things he care for.

The last and not the least of the three is RK Seisou Hen or Reflections. It attempts to show the major characters' lives after the series, focusing on Kenshin and Kaoru's life as a married couple in particular.



There are Pros and Cons in watching this OVA.



Pros:



This OVA has a mature theme. It talks about life, death, struggle, hope, disillusionment, devotion, love, and society

from different points-of-view.



It has great artwork and a great soundtrack, some of which are instrumental.



Cons:



You will fully appreciate this OVA if you were able to see the other one, Rurouni Kenshin Tsuioku Hen or Samurai X trust and Betrayal. Unfortuantely, this OVA contains a lot of violence and a lot of blood.



Second, both OVAs have a lot of pretty sad or just downright depressing themes and you would have to get past that sadness to appreciate the conflicting perspectives that the OVA has to offer.



So there. Hope you could try this although it's not really recommended for weak hearts and hyperactive tearducts. ^_^

Hot Gimmick



The story revolves around Hatsumi Narita, a passive 16-year old girl who lives in a company housing complex that is ruled by the tyrannical Mrs. Tachibana, the wife of the company's vice president. How a family behaves in the housing complex can affect an employee's status in the company. When her promiscuous younger sister Akane thinks she might be pregnant, poor Hatsumi gets talked into buying her a pregnancy test. Unfortunately, things don't go exactly as planned and Hatsumi is blackmailed by Ryoki Tachibana, the bratty, geeky teenage son of the powerful Tachibana family who bullied her as a kid, into being his slave. Suddenly Azusa, Hatsumi's protector in their youth, reappears to save her again! He's moving back into the neighborhood! Despite the budding romance between Hatsumi and Azusa, Ryoki has control over her through the secret that could ruin the lives of everyone in Hatsumi's family, and he hasn't forgotten who his slave is!



The first volume of this series is mostly an introduction for all the characters and plotlines, and any possible readers of this series are warned that things do not stay as they seem for long. The main male characters (Ryoki, Azusa and Shinogu) all quickly swap places as the story continues on through the series. For this reason, Hot Gimmick is targeted much more at a mature audience, as it addresses several adult themes that are not entirely appropriate for younger readers; most pointedly, a number of attempted rapes and the normalization of an abusive relationship. Hot Gimmick delves into a deeper side found in every society, while still maintaining its shōjo roots.

try "School Days".



Makoto Ito, a Japanese high school student, has been admiring a girl he has been seeing on the train on his way to school, Kotonoha Katsura. Makoto managed to take a photo of her with his cell phone, but due to a new seating arrangement in his class, he ends up next to Sekai Saionji, who discovers Makoto's crush as she snoops for his cell phone while talking to him, and vows to help him until Kotonoha agrees to go out with him. When Sekai finally gets them together, she realizes her own feelings after finding out that the person Kotonoha liked was, in fact, Makoto. While waiting for her train next to Makoto, who was waiting for Kotonoha, she has him talking about how he can repay her for all of her help. Before leaving for her train, she kisses him and cries when she boards the way home. Kotonoha happily arrives for her date with Makoto shortly after. With all three main characters carrying different expressions on their faces, the story begins.

Bleach. It is an action anime about deathgods who tries to protect humanity. They have super cool powers and stuff like that. Do not worry...it won't scare you. If it did, privately msg me and call me a bastard.
