I have seen 250 anime and am looking for something that has action and can get you pumped but also solid drama that makes you sad and also preferably the characters are above 16 and not midgets also some romance would be preferred and I want it to have a serious tone and not be silly and overrun with jokes ALSO I don't want none of this I won't kill BS (or any mc that's a pushover like shinji). Also not a need but a plus would be a second season or a time skip

The best ex I can think of are
-Jyu-Oh-Sei
Mobile suit gundam 00
91 days
Guilty crown
Code Geass
Parasite
Attack on titan
Kabeneri of the iron fortress(not really sad)
Alderamin on the sky
Seraph of the End
Zankyou no Terror
Zetsuen no Tempest

You want unpopular and non-mainstream anime, but almost every example you listed is the opposite of that.

You probably want to start looking at older stuff that was popular during the early 2000s, the 1990s, and the 1980s. Almost none of these have a second season, a few are movies and OVAs.

Probably:
Vision of Escaflowne
Cowboy Bebop
Macross Plus
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen (aka Samurai X)
Jin-Roh

Maybe:
Super Dimension Fortress Macross (old but gold)
Ninja Scroll
Trigun (hero won't kill but that doesn't stop him from being a badass)
Ghost in the Shell (movie)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memories
3x3 Eyes and 3x3 Eyes Seima Densetsu
Bounen no Zamdou (aka Xam'd)
Berserk (original plus Golden Age movies)
Iria: Zeiram the Animation
Genesis Climber Mospeada

Probably not but you never know:
Eureka 7
Record of Lodoss War
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water

How about Nagi no Asukara for (very small spoiler)
It's really really good.
Serious tone, solid drama, romance. Characters aren't over 16 but in my opinion the art is so good that it can be overlooked. Also no action but if it doesn't have to have action this is definitely what I'd recommend.

I'm surprised you haven't started Black Lagoon.

You have a bunch of good stuff on your PTW.

You could try (a few of them are popular):
07-ghosts
Ga-Rei: Zero
Giniro no Kami no Agito (movie)
Hanasakeru Seishounen (the plot only picks up after the first half)
Juuni Kokuki (the MC is wimpy initially but she develops a lot later)
Kara no Kyoukai movies
Kakumeiki Valvrave
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Shangri-La
Terra e..(TV)

I found Black Lagoon pretty uneven, but the second season, "Second Barrage," is definitely stronger than the first. I'd skip ahead to the end of the first season and watch episodes 11-12, then watch 13-15 and 19-24 from Second Barrage.

You might like Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis and Virgin Soul. They're pretty mainstream though. Junketsu no Maria is more obscure and might also have some appeal.

For something really obscure I suggest Hyouge Mono.
