So I really liked,

 

- attack on titan (loved the hopelessness feeling)

- gantz season 1&2 (super gory. This show must have subliminal messaging because its been a long-time since I got hooked on a show)

- darker than black

- death note

- akame ga kill!

- Ghost in the shell (re-watched it at least 5 times, all movies and seasons.)

- Psycho Pass 1&2

- Claymore

 

I've seen most of the mainstream, usual recommended shows. What i'm looking for is stuff like I mentioned above, gritty, dark, hopeless, ect. More adult oriented, not porn wise, but i'm okay with rape scenes or if it involves sexual violence or casual sex. I'd really like to avoid shows where it makes sense for the person to get assaulted, raped but doesn't happen. I really liked the attempted rape scene in Claymore because it made sense.

 

A further idea into what i'm looking for is a show, can't remember whats it called, where a spaceship landed on a planet, broken down I think, and the crew was tortured and raped. The goods guys showed up in later episodes and saved the remaining crew. It was in English btw. So, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm okay with subtitles, but rather find English shows.

If you like hopeless and dark, I know a few titles you'd enjoy, some a bit hard to find in physical form, but hey, this is the internet, it's out there somewhere:

 

Berserk: The Godfather of dark hopless Anime, came out in two forms, based on the same Manga.  One is the Television series, which is about twenty years old or so at this point but it's a classic.  The other is a series of movies that are still being released and are trying to tell the whole story of the manga, which is absurdly long at this point.  

 

In all honesty, read the manga, but be warned... there's a metric ton of rape in the Manga and I'm only slightly exaggerating.  Both Anime versions limit it but some people rave about the Manga, so I figured I'd bring it up.

 

End of Evangelion:

SImply put, this is the last two episodes of the Television Series Neon Genesis Evangelion re-released as the second part of a movie series and in my opinion, it's Hideki Anno giving the entire Eva fanbase the finger.  It's dark, hopeless, but it's also extremely well put together and action packed.  

 

Deadman Wonderland:

Haven't watched much of this but I watched enough of it to suggest it for this list.

meh, that's kind of shinji's thing in the series.   There's an entire speech in End of Eva, one character's final speech before she dies in fact where she pretty much rips shinji a new one for being such a whiny coward before ordering him to actually fight.  Didn't work, but the final fight in End of Eva was NERV's execution anyway. Oh, and if you watch Berserk's TV version... don't let the theme song scare you off... yeah it's Engrish, yeah it's unintentionally hillarious,

@Saireen:

Very true, but Berserk never got a second season outside of the Manga.  I know he's nowhere near finishing it too so god knows how many different parts the series will end up with.  I'm just glad the movies are past where the series ended....

 

Is there a manga for deadman wonderland?

yes.

 

One of his others that caught my eye was gantz it was a good anime but not to many people liked it as it was way different then the manga.

The Dragonball Franchise is ok but it's also just like all the others such as Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, and even Fairy Tale. They encounter an enemy so strong they don't think they can beat them then lo and behold a deus ex machina appears and they beat the enemy.

 

Rinse and Repeat

 

All the ones you listed were inspired, in large part, by the Dragon Ball franchise :-P

I wholeheartedly agree with this one, berserk is awesome.

 

I have some other names to throw at you, not the freshest and you maybe already know them, but who knows

 

- Gunnm (last order): there are 2 OAVs that I've watched a long time ago, don't know if they aged well, but it's worth a try, and you should definitely read the mangas.

- BLAME! : also a dark cyberpunk manga, you will enjoy it

- Ergo Proxy: not as dark and gritty, but still interesting to watch.

- Akira: part of "things you must read before dying", a classic
