Is there actually anime action animes where the main protoganist actually has some freaking balls to kill people ?!?!!?
It's getting on my nervs to not find many animes after 5 months of watching to actually be able to see when they kill people in action animes instead of * No do not kill him/her * whine and some more whine.

Strong first post.

>> Not just in action genre, but its like that in most anime. Great MCs are rare these days.

I dont recall Ichigo whinning about battling . I dont recall Naruto seriously complaining about battling . I dont recall Revy complaining about killing .

OMG!
I'm not much of a grammar Nazi, but damn dude. If you consider yourself an anime fan, at least know that the plural form of anime is "anime."

Watch Hellsing, Alucard is probably the character you're looking for.

^This.

It sounds to me like you're referring to the typical *battle shounen*, and not * action anime * in general.

This is perfect if you're looking for pure action,also I would suggest Black Lagoon.But I'm not sure about Kara no Kyoukai I wouldn't watch Kara no Kyoukai just for the action,still the action is good.
It's insane how awesome Fate/Zero is.

Hands down. A generic badass might be cool at first, but once the adrenaline rush/novelty runs out, he's got nothing. Unless, of course, his character develops. But "generic" implies he won't have that luck.

Well there go my hopes and dreams.

OT: OP ur a sadist. "Whiny" characters are often much more interesting than generic "good guy" murderers. And they actually start out in a much better position to be developed as characters.

I guess a "whiny" character with development can be alright (like Shirou from F/SN VN) but there are some whiny characters that are annoying all the time (Yuki from Mirai Nikki)
Shiro was whiny? Nah, he was more stubborn and naive than whiny.

Hm, maybe not exactly whiny but he avoided as many battles as possible and tried to keep people like Rin and Illya alive even though they were enemies so I think he somewhat fits the OP's description
Oh, well if you put it that way, I guess he does kinda fit.

Actually, wait. Is the OP referring to crying-guy-on-his-knees-begging-not-to-kill-despite-not-doing-much whiny, or I-fought-and-defeated-you-but-I-don't-want-to-kill-you "whiny?"

I think that only shounen protagonists whine, can't really see this element in seinen action anime.

I think it may be both, but more focused on the 2nd one.

It is annoying, but it can't be helped when you are watching a shounen battle between 15 year olds students.

I dont generally have a problem with whining characters unless they're the MC and they're male, I can understand crying if they lose someone, but not if they lose a fight or something and they're just like "fuck it man, I can't do this shit, better kill myself". Fuck that.

i'd hate to find out Gut's body count

as far as whiny.. Shinji is often referred to as something like a shit-eating whiny ass cunt. It took me several watches of NGE to feel bad for him. The kid got a raw deal in life and deserves to be a whiner.
