MMO Junkie wasn't half bad I thought. Sadly for anime with older protags you're mostly going to have to stick to older anime. Newer anime is almost exclusively centered around kids/teens.

Unfortunately most "Christmas Cakes" in anime are usually used merely as comic relief/running gag.

It starts alright but gets more relationship focused as it goes on so I dropped it.

As for anime with 30 year old protagonists. It's hard to say, there are quite a few with characters that would seem to be 30 or older or who could be 30 or older but their age isn't stated that I know of(and anime is terrible with ages, somebody who seems 30 could easily be 16 and vice versa). This is in things like Cop Craft, Garo and Cowboy Bebop and they usually have male protagonists, it does not seem to be as common with women.

While she wasn't the MC, she was 32. MC's were a 28 yo (muscular maid) and a loli.

This looks interesting. Thanks

Makoto in GHOST IN THE SHELL? OK, not many here are ex-military but she qualifies as 30+

Dragonball's Son Goku is 30 years old in human terms now. Right?

Kafka in Kaiju #8 is 32 years old and working a crappy job while single...

Wizardy granted me serenity. Now I can focus on the things I like without the feeling of incoming dread you have during your late 20s. I both lost and won at life at the same time

There was that anime where 30yrs old man helped out school girl. He found her on a street she asked shelter for sex but he freaked out and gave it for free. In the end he had a talk with her mother that I barely lived through feeling extremely embarrassed. Wasn't great but I liked it nonetheless.

What anime is this?

Henjin no Salad Bowl's protagonist is 29 if that works.

That's the damn point I don't remember myself.

Just in case you're skeptical this anime is just a depiction of kind attitude. IIRC it has a few silly moments but in general it's mostly about kindness.
