Probably Berserk. Or maybe Ghost In The Shell + Ghost In The Shell: Standalone Complex seasons 1 and 2.
Both are truly mature in terms of writing as well as subject matter.
Ghost In The Shell gets really deep into the political ramifications of potential future technologies through the lense of a sci-fi action crime drama. 18+ for some extreme violence and naked/often scantily clad cyborgs with no nipples.
Berserk is mostly about found family and overcoming trauma through the lense of a guy with a huge sword in a medieval low-fantasy setting. 18+ for extreme violence, sex, sexual violence, torture, child abuse, I mean just most bad things people do are in there at some point or another. It’s considered horror anime by some.
