Legend of the Galactic Heroes, of course. Monster, Shirobako, Death Parade, and Psycho-pass have spots on my list (Fate Zero is pretty good, too).

Does Berserk count? Isidro and Schierke are kids, but everyone else important is an adult (I'm not caught up so I may be wrong here).

"Tiny Trains"

Is there any anime where most of the characters are full grown 30+ adults vs "adults" that are apparently early 20's but act 12-15?

Well, there's Cowboy Bebop! But I guess it kind of fails given it's a crew of 3 30+ adults and one weird kid and a corgi.

This one fails the criteria because although the main character is an adult, he hangs out with a hundreds-of-years-old wolf spirit who takes the form of a teenage girl.

Not that it's a bad show -- it's a great show -- but still.

No idea why japan is so hosed up in that aspect but yeah I hate the "I'm 16 but really I am hundred year old wizard" bullshit

GTO is good if you haven't seen it, the fist episode is pervy for some reason but after that it owns

Gintama is also a really good show btw MC is and most main cast is perm 20ish

Space Brothers is amazing. I appreciate that the majority of the cast are adults and that a lot of the characterisation in the series is believable. (Although...not all of it.) In particular, Mutta is well-characterised. If he had been a bad character, the series just wouldn't be able to work.

It's not just Japan. There's plenty of books and mythologies here that do the same. In fact, it seems like a nearly universal method of storytelling across regions.

Bonnouji is all about adults too. Did anyone say that?

For anime there's Natsuyuki Rendezvous, it's kinda mediocre tho. I wish it was better because more josei needs animation.

No one remembers Black Heaven. Main character is 40-something, IIRC.

She looks like an adult in the anime at least, and acts like one too.

If a recruiter asks you to become a nuclear sailor.. you say no
Zone of the Enders, Delores I. Its a weird side story to ZOE, but the main character is 40! and he has 2 adult children. Its a really nice series that I liked. I think that might be the oldest main character (that isn't an immortal) in an anime I guess.

I think Berserk counts, more or less. At least for the purpose of the Golden Age Arc films.

Also:

- Hellsing
- Kara No Kyoukai
- Memories: Magnetic Rose
- Memories: Stink Bomb
- Mind Game
- Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
- Baccano
- Genshiken (I guess)
- Honey & Clover (I guess)
- Macross Plus

Yeah, somehow I managed to skip out on Planetes when it was airing, so thanks to this thread I get to watch a great show I'd forgotten about!

Speed Grapher maybe, though that depends on what you define hanging out as. He does spend most of the series running around with a teenage girl...

Trigun is also an obvious choice.
