Solo Leveling - early 20s male protag, action sci-fi, no romance subplots atm

The Faraway Paladin- Fantasy adventure, found family

Claymore-women/monster hybrids fighting bigger monsters, only one male mc and he’s absent for over half the episodes

That’s what I can come up with that doesn’t have chibi, loli, or romance. They’re all on crunchyroll with good English dubs

The part where mom being dead is a footnote, not the headline.
