So long story short I ran out of tv shows to watch with the GF so I'm slowly introducing her to anime, so I was hoping for good recommendations, we are currently watching Full Metal Alchemist (the original) but its cringy and targeted for young audiences, so I'm looking for anime targeted for adults, no cringe, no shonen etc
- No romance crap.
- The GF likes horror and is ok with gore.
- No action targeted for men.

Everyones' afraid after you berated me for talking up "Blue Is The Warmest Color."
I don't know if she will like it or if you will but the one anime that is sticking in my mind is Samurai Champloo. I don't know why. I am sure there are others better suited but it's like that anime that isn't the best but I just enjoyed it a lot.
Akira is good.
I am actually hoping more people stick their necks out and post. I could use some good suggestions as well.

Maybe it could be considered action for young people. It's not DBZ. There was a lot of humor to it and it's more of a samurai story to nujabes music. I remember it being quite slow placed actually so you might find it boring.
Obviously, the best option is to find some anime horror that kicks ass. That recommendation is out of my depths.

if you liked spirited away, castles in the sky is a bit more action heavy. its still a miyazaki thing where its more thematic/detail based than plot focused and involves mostly kids but if you liked spirited away you'd probably like castles.

Blue is the warmest color was actually a pretty good movie. The actresses did well especially in the last breakup scene. The dark haired one I think her name is Adele is also super hot (so is the other girl seydoux but not so much in this movie. She looks better in that robot love drug movie with ewan mcgregor)

You should get stoned Baal. It's a deep thought experiment, different, and only sometimes totally ridiculous teenage boy anime. My gf demands to watch more episodes whenever we hit one.
