Adult

Anime targeted at adult demographics (Seinen and Josei): Seinen (青年): This genre is specifically aimed at adult men. It often features more mature and complex themes than the shonen (young boy) demographic. While it can include action and adventure, it often delves into genres like psychological thrillers, crime, drama, sci-fi, dark fantasy, and slice-of-life with adult characters and situations. Violence, gore, and sometimes sexual themes (not necessarily explicit, but implied or contributing to the plot) can be present. Examples include Berserk, Monster, Psycho-Pass, Vinland Saga, Tokyo Ghoul, and Aggretsuko. Josei (女性): This genre is aimed at adult women. It typically explores more realistic portrayals of relationships, romance, and daily life experiences of adult women, often with greater psychological depth and sometimes addressing more complex social issues than shojo (young girl) anime. Examples include Chihayafuru, Princess Jellyfish, and Honey and Clover.
