Hi there!

Do you know any good Englsich-spoken-Anime dealing with "serious" topics? I mean no action-Anime with people running, shouting and exploding all the time. Maybe an Anime with a philosphical touch in it. Or Anime which deals with political topics.

Thanks in advance and best regards!

English spoken? you mean dubbed? dubbed is never as good the original imo.
but yea, there are a few:

grave of the fireflies
barefoot gen
Jinata
If you want good story, then I would advise to not limit yourself to only Manga. You should read the spawn comics, from Todd McFarlane. Sweet story and not TOO much action.

Spawn is cool yeah, I used to collect them, but Mangas have more dynamic in their pictures.

BTW: I'm not searching for Manga but Anime! beerchug.gif

Mushishi - doubt they're released in the US market, but man what a weird stuff.

I don't watch anime much but I remember a movie called "Wings of Honneamise"..man that movie was frickin' boring! I watched it all though. The story's setting is Sci-Fi, set in a parallel universe to ours, but it's one of those serious, complex movies with religious tones and stuff which is why it was so boring to me. laugh.gif I was much younger when I saw it. I think it had something to do with two competing nations in a space race kinda like a fantasy 20th century race between USA and Japan. Well animated and good music.......Definitely for more mature audiences...very slow and deep... kids will find it boring.
