maybe try samurai champloo?

it has profanity and stuff in it but the chars dont have that sappy interaction and has lots of good fights and pacing between them

@Shicchi Is owari no seprah like berserk plotwise? Can you tell me briefly what the story is about? The character design was kind of a damper.
I didn't like My Hero Academia's char design and concept. I dropped it but maybe I'll get back to it eventually.

I haven't watch Berserk, only heard lots about it. And I think it's nothing alike, unfortunately.

Owari no Seraph is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where the vampire reign over humans. Enter Japan Imperial Demon Army, a military force to fight off vampires. That's the basic setting of the story.

But the story is far from simple though. To fight off the vampires, humanity have been doing forbidden research using demons. They make contract with demons and weaponize them.

There are mysteries all over the place and it will be revealed piece by piece as the story progressed. It's not at all black and white.

The protagonist is a young boy, that managed to run away from vampire base, that costed him his whole families being slaughtered in front of his eyes. Since then he swore to kill vampires and so he joined the army.

The highlight for me is, aside from how much I love post apocalyptic settings (our modern world portrayed in ruins and such), I like the action and the characters. 2nd season is better than the first imo. Bcs S1 mostly just introduction of the main group iirc. Oh, there is also this girl wielding a huge schyte. I love characters using schyte as weapon lol.




As for art style, I guess we have differrent taste lol. I'm very much love bnha art style (it's distinctive and have personality), but Owari no Seraph is just a pure eye candy to me lmao. Especially the manga.

Why not romance? :( , and your criteria's are pretty hard to find.
Well anyways :

Magi : Im pretty sure you will like Magi, its a pretty good lighthearted Shounen and fits all your criteria.

Others :
Tokyo ghoul = Dark themed
Parasyte = Dark themed
Akame ga Kill = Dark themed
Shingeki no Kyojin = Dark themed
Slime = Lighthearted


Owari no seraph +1 = It has little to no romance, and it's not YAOI like most people are thinking. The action scenes are superb imho.
The first episode is a bit of a turn off I admit but it gets pretty interesting, its more dark-themed than lighthearted though

Edit : Magi is my Fav non-100episode shounen

I would suggest Inuyasha (2000-2010) as it's my favorite, we have a number of favorites or "mostly enjoyed" series in common, and it very closely fits that description, but I think you might find it too close to Noragami with its romantic subplot and comedy style. Actually, Noragami's probably the closest thing to it, except Noragami has a little more pronounced comedic and lighthearted tone throughout, so if that's what you disliked about it, then the comedy in Inuyasha is more sporadic, muted, and less disruptive to the plot, in my view. A bit difficult to compare though since Noragami only has had two seasons.
