Need help to find an epic but smart anime, one thats not afraid to get bloody too.

think:
gungrave,
berserk,
baccano,
gankutsuou,
durarara,
steins;gate

Hopefully not set in high school, but acceptable if really good

Code Geass and Hunter x Hunter seem to be the popular ones, I'll try those out first.

Thanks for the suggestions guys :)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) - the MC is clever and genius in battle (even sometimes resorting to dirty tricks, bluffing, acting, etc.) He is also very creative in finding ways to defeat opponents. Try it :)

I strongly second Hellsing Ultimate.
Kuroshitsuji, a bit of an acquired taste but I like it and it vaguely meets your requirements.
Theres obviously Bebop and FMA (I prefer the original series)

Thanks :D

Check out the manga if you're interested, as it is way better than the anime or the movies.

Hellsing is indeed a great anime, in fact I gave it a 10. It's just that the story isn't that great and doesn't seem to fit what the OP is looking for. I mean, seriously? Nazi Vampires-Speaking Japanese-Trying to invade Great Britain? :P

Don't get me wrong though, Hellsing Ultimate is badass still.
