Looking for anime suggestions that don't use super deformed art style
Hey guys, So I know I'm being a little picky here but I'm looking for suggestions. I wanna watch some more shows that don't, or barely use (looking at you Berserk with Puck), super deformed art style. Most often I see it used in animes of heavier stories that want a way to break the tension. It works, but I hate it. Demon slayer is a great example. I love the story but too often the art style changes, characters become large or tiny, have exaggerated expressions, etc. It seems to be for comedic effect, but it breaks my investment. I couldn't finish demon slayer because of it.
I just watched Hell's Paradise and that was great. They never used it or it was so sparingly used I didn't notice. So I'm looking for a new show to watch, something Shonen that doesn't use SD. Also, preferably with characters who are already reasonably competent without whining.
Anybody else hate that style? What are your suggestions?

And many, many, MANY more. These are all things off the top of my head, and most of them are fairly different in genre. It's kind of a broad request, super deformed art styles are common in assorted anime but it's not like it's a defining feature of all anime, so most recommendations you'll get are gonna be pretty varied.
One thing in common is typically more mature anime are less likely to use it, so that might be the only common denominator between all the stuff I recommended
