Grave of the Fireflies is the first thing that springs to mind, for me at least.

Better and more mature than adult entertainment as a whole or better and more mature than specific instances of adult entertainment?

Alright, that's what I thought you were going for, but you mentioning Ibuse's Black Rain and Hersey's Hiroshima made me wonder.

There's a lot animated stuff I like and I specifically go out of my way to find really good bits of it, but beyond some animated stuff being more experimental visual wise and maybe more less cynical as a whole, there's no way that I could argue that it's better as a whole than adult entertainment as a whole because of the constraints and expectations placed on it. There's specific instances, like Grave of the Fireflies, which I think is enjoyable in its own right and better than the average for adult media.

Depends on how you define mature. I'm sick of media slapping in some sex and violence as if that's a substitute for a mature well-developed story.

Kids and adults actually have to deal with a lot of the same things, maybe not paying bills, but we all live in the same world and have to interact with each other. When bad things happen, they don't just happen to adults. Good media will work with that and can be very mature despite it's audience. I'd say they're just as equal depending on who's writing the story.

Going on that, this is why I'm a huge fan of shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender (and Legend of Korra), and Static Shock. Even if they're very technically rated PG/PG-13, they deal with real world issues like war, genocide, political revolutions, socioeconomic inequalities, gang and gun violence, bullying (of the "people get expelled or killed" variety, not the "head shoved into a toilet seat" crap you usually see in the way kids' shows handle bullying), etc.

These are kids shows that handle these topics with a hell of a lot more maturity than much, if not most, of the adult material I see on these same topics. I'm not saying that all kids media is better than all adult media or vice-versa, but I sure as hell can believe that there is some fantastic stuff for kids out there and some family and adult-material that flat out sucks. So refusing to watch something just because it's targeted towards kids, which is what the anon at the top of the thread was talking about, is pretty stupid.
