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.

It's not an anime, per se, but the writing, voice acting and such are very much like an anime in the Like a Dragon series of games. Where it currently sits, all the characters are middle-aged or older. It also has a lot of existential dialogue and side stories that are extremely poignant, as someone who is also middle-aged in this time period.

The only actual anime I could even think of with main characters my age or older that I also enjoy is Cowboy Bebop; and that's about 50-50 because of Faye and Edward. I've seen some episodes of Bartender but I wouldn't go so far as to say I enjoy it yet. It's a bit dry.
