Lately, i've been watching shows thats got really irritating MC's that often makes me almost give up on watching the series completely. So what I need is a few male lead badasses or just anyone likeable in general.
Some examples include:
-Train (Black Cat)
-Vash (Trigun)
-Oga (Beelzebub)
-Onizuka (GTO)
-Allucard (Hellsing)
ect.

Heres my list

Thanks in advance,

JoJo's Bizzare Adventures (2012) - The 2nd JoJo is a sarcastic type of a character, his arc starts around episode 10, and continues/will continue 'till the end. The first JoJo is more of a gentleman

Others you can try:
Inferno Cop (no one is as awesome as Inferno Cop)
Redline
Slam Dunk

Baccano! There really isn't a lead character, but the whole cast is likeable nonetheless.

ef - a tale of melodies. - Multiple mains, I didn't really find anything wrong with any of them.

Hyouka - Main is a lazy jackass. If that puts you off, don't watch then.

Baccano! - Vino is a boss, Firo's awesome too.
One Outs - MC is kind of a cold hearted guy who thinks for himself first, also a true badass.
EDIT:
Lol, natssuu beat me to it on both accounts.

I can second Hyouka. It's a slice of life show though, not action, so "badass" isn't the right word. But he's not your typical "Hurr durr a;sldkjfhj WUT BEWBIES!!!1!!" protagonists.

He is able to function like a normal human being.

Shiki may be to your liking.

Psycho Pass has what you're looking for, at least the "badass" part. There are actually quite a few cool male characters in there.

Oh sorry I've seen sacred black smith, i just forgot to update it.
And as for Seikon no Qwase, usually I don't mind ecchi anime but this one is just ridiculous. I couldn't even get pass the first episode.

You can check out Mashiro-Iro Symphony, i'm watching right now, Shingo is really likeable, it's a Harem and a little ecchi anime, a bit slow-paced but i really like the main character, even all of the girls.
Alcyone. Electra. Maia. Taygeta. Calaeno. Asterope. Merope.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn is awesome, and Tsuna is one of the most likable male protagonists out there. His absolute badassness later on in the series just makes it better.
