Have you watched non episodic anime? There’s a lot of Movie length anime out there often with more mature theming.

Akira was probably the first anime that put the medium on the map for me at all. The animated Ghost in the shell movie is also pretty good. And almost all of the Studio Ghibli films.

You could also try stuff like Cowboy Bebop or Serial Experiments Lain for episodic but still short works.

There’s a pretty good Mad Max game out there…
