Tokyo Ghoul and Higurashi are probably the most violent anime I have seen so far.

I have to mention Shigurui. It is mainly just dude with swords, but my Lord, I have seen some things that cannot be unseen. It may not have the blood cell count of Hellsing Ultimate, but it grounded in realism makes the violence all the more visceral.
Don't let others ruin things for you. Even if a toxic fan pisses in your cereal, you could just get another bowl of cereal.

Genocyber, Violence Jack, Urotsujidoji and a lot of 80-90's OAV. 

If you talk only about series, of what I've seen maybe Gantz. I'm not sure.

there's Corpse Party ova which consists purely of blood and gore. I wouldn't recommend wasting time on it though, it just popped up in my head when I saw the thread title

Hokuto no Ken is probably one of the more violent, but not particularly graphic. Pretty much the entire story is constant violence. A lot of heads explode, but it doesn't leave a lot of residue.

There is just too many that exist to list so I will just randomly pick a few that haven't been mentioned yet. Each one from a different decade.

"Space Pirate Captain Harlock" (Note: crossed out because it is as violent as it gets from the 70s, at least from what I have seen.)

"Golgo 13: The Professional"

"Mad★Bull 34"

"Basilisk" 

"Blood-C"

"Dorohedoro"

I haven’t seen a lot of violent anime not because I don’t like it but just because I haven’t come across it organically

the only ones coming to mind are attack on titan and cyberpunk edgerunners

Berserk, especially the manga, is pretty brutal and gruesome. Also, it probably features one of the most traumatic rape scenes in the media. I mean, sexual violence also counts ig.

Only open if you're already familiar with Berserk and know what happened:



    Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores
    To clasp the bosom that my soul adores,
    Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours

Add M.D Geist, Koroshiya 1: Episode 0, Shoujo Tsubaki and A Kite to the list and OP should be all set.

If they started the old Berserk from scratch to the end, it would make them the most violent and traumatising anime.

Blade of the Immortal, not the best anime but extremely violent.

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan, this one's fun. 

Parasyte: The Maxim, this series is actually quite good.

Magical Witch Punie-Chan, this one gets an honorable mention for the absolute brutality of the bone-breaking limb mangling.

All four have an  R - 17+ rating for violence alone which I think is an obvious minimum requirement for this list.

Also, I'll second Dorohedoro and Elfenlied. Both of those get pretty nasty.

Among what I’ve seen it’s probably NGE, cyberpunk edgerunners and Another. Wouldn’t call any of them extremely violent or anything, except Another perhaps.

NGE is mostly not very violent, but some scenes towards the end just “feel” extremely violent because of the “every cell in my body wants you super dead” vibe. I’ve yet to find another anime that repeats the unrelenting and primal violence this show provides. 
Edgerunners has gore all over the place, but it’s too “artsy” and unrealistic to feel especially violent imo.
Another is very gory and gruesome throughout, but the show doesn’t really attempt to emotionally connect you with the violence or characters on screen, thus making the violence feel somewhat monotonous/boring. 

I would argue that even if a show has lots of violence/gore, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will “feel” violent. It’s all about how the violence is presented and if you feel emotionally invested in the characters that execute/receive the violence, but this is subjective.

Hm, the most violent anime I ever watched is Another. It involves a lot of dramatic deaths with lots of blood and disturbing details.
