Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin (INTENSE TRIGGER WARNING THIS ONE IS INTENSE AND SUPER MATURE AND ADULT PLEASE VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED)
(Story: Japan, 1955: Mario Minakami has just arrived at Shounan Special Reform School along with five other teenagers who have been arrested on serious criminal charges. All assigned to the same cell, they meet older inmate Rokurouta Sakuragi—a former boxer—with whom they establish a close bond. Under his guidance, and with the promise that they will meet again on the outside after serving their sentences, the delinquents begin to view their hopeless situation in a better light.
The seven cellmates struggle together against the brutal suffering and humiliation inflicted upon them. Facing such hellish conditions, the seven inmates must scrape together all the strength they have to survive until their sentences are up; but even if they do, just what kind of lives are waiting for them on the other side?)
(Genre: Prison Drama, Suspense)
(Released 2010; 26 episodes; TV-MA for sure)
(Notes: PLEASE THIS ONE HAS SCENES AND THEMES THAT CAN BE UPSETTING FOR ALOT. The writing and characters are spectacular but geez. If you're sensitive or easily triggered and even if you arent, proceed with caution or not at all. I'M SERIOUS ABOUT THESE WARNINGS PLEASE NO ONE UNDER 18 SHOULD WATCH THIS AND EVEN THEN, ADULTS PROCEED WITH CAUTION. It's a good show but still. It's set in prison. So.. Ah, this one is animated by Madhouse too. Y'know, One Punch Man season one.) Read Note

Michiko to Hatchin
[This one is rated TV-MA;recommended for people 17+; there's also some swearing in the trailer video just warning you]
(Story: Escaped convict Michiko Malandro may look attractive, but she has a deadly disrespect for the officers trying to track her down. While on the run, fate -- in the form of a mysterious man from her past -- brings her together with hapless orphan Hatchin, who has reached her breaking point due to the actions of her foster parents' sadistic offspring. Being pursued by police, the duo head through exotic locations where danger lurks at every turn. Michiko and Hatchin are partners in crime on the lam who are chasing a dream, and they won't stop running until they achieve it.)
(Genre: Action, Adventure, Girls with Guns)
(Released 2008; 22 episodes)
(Notes: I love love LOVE this anime. It has gotten some attention in recent years but still feels highly underrated I love it with all my heart and the characters are so great oml i kinda wish it was longer. And it was produced by THE Shinichirō Watanabe; who is best known for directing the critically acclaimed and commercially successful anime series Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo; both of which are absolutely amazing shows as well. Fun Fact: Michiko's design was based off of the African-American R&B singer Aaliyah. Also, Aaliyah was an amazing singer and music artist; gone too soon R.I.P. her songs are classics and i grew up with em) Read Note

[I'd also classify this movie for mature audiences like 17+ so yeah.. that's just my personal opinion. I think it's officially like PG-13 but I'd personally say 17+, i was also told there was some religious references here but they flew over my head probably? so just thought that was important to mention; they probably arent super important]
(Story: Amagane Rinne had an accident and died while hurrying to school. She suddenly arrived in an awkward school... in Hell, filled with demons. While she is struggling and wishing to go back to the world whence she came from, she makes friends with her demon schoolmates and develops an uncommon bond.)
(Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Horror, Dark Comedy)
(Released 2008; 1hr 57 min movie)
(Notes: Bruh this is a 'turn off your brain' watch i somehow remember enjoying it for how trippy it was i feel like it made no sense but I somehow had fun with it idk lmao like dude this is wild; also TFS also known as Team Four Star helped dub this. Y'know the same people who did Dragon Ball Z abridged and this one was also animated by Madhouse who animated season one of One Punch Man, Birdy the Mighty, Death Note, the original Trigun, etc) Read Note
