not overly gruesome. Guns, knives, martial arts. A gripping MC, doesn't have to be male, I'd actually prefer female. Badass, kind heart, however can be insane w/ rage or have bad judgement when upset. The story has to at least make sense and have a backbone, instead of some baloney plot line.

Check my "Completed" list to see what I've seen before. Should give you guys a good idea of what to suggest. Thanks guys! Also a short description of the anime that you suggest would be great.

Guess I should of said this, the anime that you suggest, try to recommend something that isn't popular. Something that you've watched that isn't popular because its bad, if that makes sense.

Jormungand was pretty good and also Black Lagoon.

They might be a little too violent for you, but I suggest giving Souten Kouro and Shigurui a try.

But Mars of Destruction is popular because it's bad.

So you want us to recommend you something actually bad, am I right?
And also it should be a gory action with a female lead.
Blood-C and Blood-C: The Last Dark! Here you have it. You can thank me later.

It's more along the lines of being infamous.

I think you should give the original Ghost in the Shell a shot. If you watch the remastered edition, the animation is top notch. Can be gruesome at times, like heads exploding or limbs being torn off, badass female MC is definitely there and there are a couple of pretty cool action sequences, but it's not really an action anime, it's more of a thinky-thinky anime.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

I fucked that up. I mean something you've watched and loved.. but it's not popular. The reason however isn't because the series is bad, but because it was overlooked or underrated. Sorry, I was having trouble wording that.

Just find some hipster's blog...

Anyway, as for underrated goes, I think Blood: The Last Vampire (nobody seems to know about this anime) and Afro Samurai are fairly underrated. Serial Experiments Lain is underrated on this site, but it's not what you're looking for, but then again, it is a very famous series.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

The first overlooked Anime that comes to mind is Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
