Tenma proving his innocence in the eyes of the law isnt his goal at all. It doesn't matter what the evidence says no matter how much of a coincidence it may seem in their eyes. Lunge only believes in evidence and Johan technically doesn't exist therefore Tenma is the culprit in his eyes. If Tenma does turn himself in he has no proof that Johan is the killer
and Lunge is convinced Tenma has split personality called Johan. Just keep watching and suspend some bit of disbelief for European law enforcement in 1990s.
If he turns himself in he's looking at weeks if not months of going to trial when all he wants to do is stop Johan. When they ask him so who killed his co-workers and superiors he'd have to say a little boy did it which wouldn't be a good look for him. Tenma knows he seems the most guilty and he's not willing to take that risk.
But to go to trial, wouldn't they need evidence? They have nothing linking him to the murders and he talked to the cops about it. When older Johan killed the first guy in front him, he immediately went to the cops and told them what happened. At that point, of anything, that would have been the best time to hold him because he has no alibi whatsoever and they couldn't hold him at that time. Yet they are still like, "he must be guilty!" like what has to be at least a decade later. I understand Tenma is hunting down Johan at this point.
It also cracked me up when
the chick hands the ex cop the gun with four barrels, tells him it only works at point blank range (how the f does that gun even work) yet he becomes John Wick with moving targets. He does get shot, for the shows credit though.

I'd really recommend frieren. She's an elf so she lives longer than her adventuring companions. It's about love and loss.
Besides the 1st season of True Detectives with woody and mcconaughey it's the only show that I rewatched a week later.
Art work is great. Very pastel.

I love how OP asked for adult anime, but most people here are just recommending their favorite anime.
Shounen isnt adult. By definition its the opposite, in fact.
My list:
* Tatami Galaxy
* Devilman Crybaby
* Paprika
* Tokyo Grandfathers
* Blade of the Immortal (tho I really recommend the manga)
* Pluto
It's tough to find good adult anime, imo. Since they arent as popular as shounen, they dont get adapted to anime often, so most of my best recommendations are in the manga format.
Goodnight Punpun and Goodbye Erin, for example, are masterpieces that have never been adapted.
I highly recommend Goodnight Punpun, OP. Unless you are depressed.

You must be crazy, AoT is one of the only shows I’ve ever watched that just gets better and better with each new season (with one exception S3P1 on your first watch).

I mean he asked for anime for adults, and ended up listing Solo Leveling as his starting point, so the other recs. fit.

How is Apothecary Diaries and Solo Leveling?
I’m not a Dragon Ball person, but it always seem like adults watch Dragon Ball as well.

I just remembered one from the recesses of my brain: Now and then, here and there
It's short, only 13 episodes. It's very dark, and a subversion of shonen and isekai tropes. It starts off with a typical shonen-archetype protag getting isekai'd into what is basically Somalia, and tackles themes regarding child soldiers, slavery, and abuse under a fascist regime at war.
It reminded me of the movie Pleasantville in a way; the protag is intentionally established as a typical shonen MC, and the world he's thrown into culture shocks him into seeing things from a previously black/white perspective into a complicated grey. A very uncomfortable, feel-bad watch.

Damn, beaten with all the good ones. Only other one is Cutey Honey.
Is this related to the Korean Netflix series?its only got like 24 episodes and plus the opening theme song is a banger
That's where I get Blade from. Although I would recommend the manga more than the anime. Sadly they had to do like 190 chapters into 26 episodes and it feels a bit rushed. Still good, just not as good as the manga.
Also, watch this.

I'd rather just read the manga which I was buying before this got adapted and now it sells the fuck out so I can't get it.... Thanks Netflix.
Lot of people sleeping on this anime, I love the way this show tell its story.

Mr. Community
Hello I hate anime in manga in general I am super picky and super critical about it.
I don’t know why people recommend stuff like death note or evangelion… death note has a plot the depth of a puddle and a good chunk of it is wasted as a supposed contest between two super minds but they’re anything but super (as the saying goes, characters are only as smart as the people writing them). Evangelion is mess that carries on because it’s very powerful and effective imagery but at the end of the day is simple message about life sucking unless you are a kid or a pet.
My recommendations:
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt: tired about anime being creepy the solution is anime where sex is the joke! Rambunctious, ridiculous and unabashedly sexy - the Japanese creators asked the English dubbers to America the fuck up the dub and you, you should watch the dub.
Delicious in dungeon: cozy like a fireplace and a hot beverage in the middle of winter, line a warm coat for your cold heart.
One piece: yes it’s long, no it doesn’t matter, just go, now!

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Another vote here for the absolute kino that is Legend of Galactic Heroes.

The Sky Crawlers.
I think people wrote it off as pretentious drivel.
Whatever, I absolutely adored it.

There are so many...
Mob Psycho 100
Delicious in Dungeon
Hells Paradise (one of my favourites)
Vinland Saga
Full Metal Alchemist
Attack on Titan
Jujutsu Kaisen
One Punch Man
Those are just some that I would recommend. I also recommend Final Space and Castlevania (first series). These aren't Japanese Anime, but very good animated shows for adults.

It's a robotech/macross jets about to take off. The big Gundam mechs that are also fighter jets
Never watched any macross but always heard it was great. Gen X anime nerds grew up on it

I don't find myself reading mangas often or at all (i really should)That's where I get Blade from. Although I would recommend the manga more than the anime. Sadly they had to do like 190 chapters into 26 episodes and it feels a bit rushed. Still good, just not as good as the manga.
Also, watch this.
I'm going to start my Berserk (manga) journey soon. I probably can find it online, but a part of me wants to buy physical copies of it.
I will give this show a watch, though, have the next few days off of work.

Your username shows much bias!
Gineiden (Legend of the Galactic Heroes).
The original, not the latest version.
and yes, OG one is the best and most true to the novel - and this 100ep+ OVA wouldn't have been possible w/o Japan's bubble economy back then.
