Which anime do you enjoy with a mostly adult cast of characters? (lemm.ee)

By adult I mean over 18-20 years of age and with adult appearances. Nothing against anime with younger characters, but interested in finding some with older characters.

This was harder to answer than I thought, pushing up to 20 eliminates a lot of contenders I think. I would say maybe Vinland Saga? The main character starts as a child, but it also covers a large time span so he hits twenty partway through the second season. Major recurring characters are almost all adults throughout. Its a semi-historical anime set mostly in England and Denmark during a war between the two. It's a show that deals heavily with violence and trauma, has some very complex characters, and I can't recommend it strongly enough

Maybe so, though that's why I tried to relax it with 18 and older as well as mostly vs only adults. If there's some younger characters I don't mind, but I thought I'd ask about anime with a primary cast of older characters for a little change of pace.

Appreciate the suggestion!
