If you want your mind blown and don't mind giant not-robots then try Neon Genesis Evangelion. Plenty of gore at times, and plenty of psychologically disturbing material make it one of those anime that have been considered classics.
The other I'd suggest would be Claymore, it's plenty bloody and manages to tell a decent story. Not sure it's been put out outside Japan just yet, but here's a link if you've got bittorrent: http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/986.html
just got the boxed set, platinum collection, plus the End of Evangelion movie.
Episodes 25 and 26 were confusing to most fans, go the creators made the Death and Rebirth movie, which is just as confusing for some, so End of Evangelion was made. which is the least confusing of the 3 endings. Lots of gore and violence.

I that didn't know that they made a movie about the ending, but I'm happy they did tho. The last episode was just so confusing that it made me think that they was trying to just cut corners to complete the production of the show.

I'm not sure, but I think they started to run out of money at the end. People got so pissed about it though that they took the profits they'd made on the series and made Death and Rebirth (which is more just a review of the series) and End of Evangelion to end it all. Death and Rebirth I think they just made for people who'd seen the series already and only needed a review so they could enjoy End of Evangelion to the fullest.
i haven't watched the Witch Hunter Robin but i have watched Ergo Proxy and Death note they both are great but ergo proxy is little bit hard to understand till the end of it ( maybe its just me ) death note is great it has to be my 2nd favorite anime ever its not really fight stuff but the story its great. Other great adult anime to me is Black Lagoon you really have to watch thisits great, same to Samurai Champloo, Samurai X the OVA the tv show is not really adult enough for me but had some really good fight scenes but you really have to watch the OVA, Desert Punk has adult humor and with some good fight and has great story its a type of anime you want to watch to have some fun and laugh, Darker than black is great too its has great story and fight scenes same to Gungrave
These are my favorite anime so far Samurai X (the OVA), Death note, Gungrave, Samurai Champloo, Black Lagoon, Darker than black, and Desert Punk

DAR and EOE can be subbed for episodes 25 and 26. Well I haven't seen DAr in a while, but EOE for sure can be put in place of eps 25 and 26.

NGE was way too slow for me, too much character developement. The battles and most of the actual character development was wierd as well, reminds me alot of Paranoia Agent.
But yeh you have to pay attention to understand NGE. it's rather philosphical. And you have all the biblical references.
Oh and damn, there goes my total of 6666 posts. maybe I should just delete one, hehe.

I think they were running low on funds for the project, so i think Anno did have to cut corners(plus it was for TV) so he couldnt get everything he wanted into it.
End Of Evangelion is what the director - Anno made after getting threatening mail.
EDIT: oh and also the director put afew of the threats he got into the movie(the ones from the mail)
Fullmetal Alchemist is borderline, the characters Alphonse and Edward, at times have rather "kiddie anime" moments, but other than that, yeh it's not bad. little to none of the horrible "throbbing angry cross" "angry big head" "sweat drip" "falling over in embarassment" stuff you get in pokemon, yu gi oh, err Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Shaman King, Duel Masters, Mix Master King of Cards, basically what we here in New Zealand refer to as the "4 O'clock anime" as that is generally when it screens here. 4pm, just as all the little kiddies are getting home from school. Generally you have to wait till either 8pm or 10pm to watch the good (more mature) anime.
But that's not too say older people don't watch these types of shows, some of them are pretty good, and older people, like myself do watch them. I will often watch Shaman King or Naruto when they are on. I just tend to go for anime that don't have all the things that come to mind when people think of anime, which is often what causes some fairly intense debates and dicussions, stereotypically or generally when someone thinks of anime, they will think of Dragonball Z or one of the other shows I mentioned above, and will lament it's use of the conventions I mentioned above which are surnominous with those types of anime, and this is mostly due to the popularity of these shows, everyone whether they care to admit it or not have (probably) heard of Dragon Ball Z, Yu Gi Oh, Pokemon, and this will form the basis for their understanding of what anime is.
Yet shows like Baslisk, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, which are also anime, but not as popular, often due to their content which is a bit more mature/specialised, often become something one has to introduce you to. And much like all things you will either like them or you won't. but they will show you that not all anime, just like western cartoons, are not all targeted at a younger audience.
But there is nothing wrong with an older person enjoying an anime like say Naruto, they just aren't generally the intended audience.
...named everything I would have...
btw the thread title kinda reads like hentai recomendations (stopped watching hentai after i saw the bible black series)
Bible Black is like that to distinguish it from something like Night Shift Nurses, or what's that other fairly common/popular one... Disciple, yeh that one.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
