Sure... Vampire Hunter D comes to mind, Odin (reminds me of some of the space stuff in Heavy Metal), Macross Plus, Princess Mononoke (parts have the atmosphere of some of Heavy Metal, especially the battle scenes, though it takes place in Japan circa 1300). Legend of Lemnear is a little like the part of HM in the future where the woman with the sword goes hacking things up...so are parts of Lodoss Wars. Really hard to classify some of them as we have so few equivalents... Midnight Panther for example has a Middle Ages European feel and is about a group of female assasins who like to have a litte romantic tryst while offing their victims... parts are drawn HM style, yet there is also an old crone who seems to be drawn for comic effect (not a super-deformed or cutesy character, but impossilby small, wrinkled and feisty). Then you've got MD Geist...a genetically engineered soldier who is pretty much a one man army... a rather grim ruthless tale. Historical stuff like Barefoot Gen, which is a realistic biography of a little boy who watches most of his family burn and tries to take care of his mother and baby after the Hiroshima bombing (Grave of Fireflies is similar). Contact a local anime club and they should be able to steer you in the right direction according to your tastes since there are about as many styles of anime as there are Hollywood movies (actually, anime is part of the Japanese movie industry, only they don't have to pay for over-priced actors and insanely expensive FX if they can draw it... kiddie cartoons, as we think of animation, is just a small part of the industry)
