What are the other examples that I'm missing?

Seirei no Moribito, Spice and Wolf, Planetes?

I've heard things about Mushishi but never seen it, does that show count?
I probably have a bunch of such titles on my list of stuff to watch that I haven't gotten around to yet.

Record of Lodoss War could probably count. The StrikerS season of Nanoha, possibly, given that by that point it's basically a SF character drama about child soldiers and former child soldiers working in a counter-terrorist unit. LotGH for sure, that's space opera through and through, right down to the massive pile of characters and the battles that take ages to resolve.

Remember also that mature != violent/war-themed. There are almost certainly slice-of-life shows that are mature, but those have never really been my cup of tea. On the humor side, if you cast Azumanga Daioh with a bunch of 20-somethings or a bunch of middle-aged office workers, you'd be pretty much spot on. The surrealist bent of it combined with that style of humor would put it firmly in an adult demographic, if the characters weren't adorable schoolgirls dealing with contextually appropriate surface plots.

I was thinking about Lodoss but decided that it rather falls into the "dark" category, especially towards the latter half.
Of course, all three of the shows I mentioned previously also have a fairly grim bent. It's true that there is a bit of a lacking in terms of mature stories that are not particularly dark or depressing.

In line with just mature and not dark anime(manga), classic example could be Yotsuba&.

No, I don't know. Why would you assume I would?

Unsurprisingly, the first pic of the episode that I find on image boards is a gif of the scene after Sanageyama loses his uniform. Yanno, the part where Mako "measures" him.

Oh I finished Grisaia no Kajitsu Saturday.  Angelic Howl's ending is kind of disappointing, however the beginning and middle were suitably depressing and cool.  Amane's bad ending was pretty awesome too,  but I've found the good endings to always be too sappy and boring (except Making of course).  Will play sequels.
