Looking for some action-driven anime involving colorful antiheroes, gunplay, mafia activity, bounty-hunting, arms dealing, corruption, girls with guns, etc? Here's some real bangers!

Naturally, these series are aimed at older audiences, so viewer discretion is advised going into them. And as you can tell, follow-up seasons and more are included.

Anime series that covers all of its original source they're based on, with some notes.

Quality shows that don't get enough recognition

MC, deuteragonists or villains which are strong female characters.

Shows that have elements of hard science within them, such as chemistry, biology, physics, and astronomy.

This list is my second list.

You have passed the beginner level. Congratulations! You have a lot of interest in anime now. No one can say it's too early for this anime. That's why I'm going to recommend all kinds of anime now. In particular, I would like to write parody animes that refer to other animes.

Just like the title says.

Feel free to message me with recommendations.

Anime series which feature an active or ex-soldier and/or mercenary main character.

May include mecha entries when appropriate.

Only first season to keep list simple.

Protagonists do not show mercy to their enemies.

Shows in the Shounen/Seinen demographic with female (or n/b) lead or majority female main cast.
See my corresponding stack, Shoujo/Josei with Male Lead. Just found it interesting!

wide range of anime from the 90s to the mid 2000s that deal with themes of paranoia, technology, and violence. presenting that turn of the century dread.

Anime featuring casts in which a majority of the characters are not Japanese. This stack is open to suggestions/corrections

Characters must be either from the real world and not Japan or from a fictional location that is analogous to one in the real world (I.E Spy x Family's Westalis/Ostania being analogous to Germany, or Code Geass's Britannia being analogous to Britain). Because of this vaguely European fantasy settings aren't included, as there are very many of them and they are in a different ballpark than more realistic settings. I could make multiple interest stacks out of vaguely European fantasy settings alone. I did include One Piece though only because the mangaka has officially said what countries all of the characters would be from in the real world and it is not ambiguous. I have decided to include shows set in space if the characters are clearly non-Japanese humans because humans came from the real world into space, after all.

More definitive shows are at the top whereas vaguer shows are at the bottom.

Animes where they wield guns
