I'd settle for anime that's not a shonen battle tournament series, isn't about the romantic lives of high-school aged protagonists, and has 0 panty shots

There's an easy trick to finding what you want. It's called reading real summaries and reviews instead of rants by people who never watched anything since their high school anime club.

I try that but it turns out that a lot of anime fans have learned to just ignore panty shots and high school dating plot lines or fetishism. Or actually just like them.

just go to manga updates and check the tags

90% of anime is an adaptation and almost always a close one at that. wikipedia has episode summaries. it's pretty easy to know what you're getting into.

I'm only watching four anime series this season and literally only one of them fits into those descriptions so you're probably not looking very hard.

What anime?

Banana Fish, Double Decker and Golden Kamui. Depending on whether you count it as anime or not there's also the second season of Thunderbolt Fantasy in all its puppety glory. From last season I can also recommend Cells at Work as having no pantyshots, shounen fighting tournaments or high school love triangles. Revue Starlight was pretty entertaining too and again, none of the things that were mentioned above (maybe some hinted high school romance but at least it's lesbian romance since the only male character is a talking giraffe).

Isn't one of the main characters in Banana Fish 17?

He's high school aged but the anime certainly isn't about his romantic life (Ash's relationship with Eiji is important but the anime's a thriller, not a romance).

My two most recent anime loves fit the bill:

"Mahoutsukai no Yome" and "Lost Song".

I also love "Gegege no Kitaro", all the series, but some might find it too childish since it is aimed at kids (how to learn about Japanese folktale youkai in easily digestible form).

You might also want to try, if you don't mind going truly oldschool, "Rose of Versailles". Early in the series the characters are teenaged, and there are a few soapy moments, but by and large it's more "historical drama set in the time leading up to and the start of the French Revolution".

There is also a whole genre of farm life manga/anime. Silver Spoon is a popular and very charming example.
