| I am tired of looking at boring anime. The genres that interest me (romance/reverse harem/action) have boring plots or just not my taste(the ones that I have watched lately). So I want to try something new which is an anime that doesn't have romance or has very little of it and has a great plot but also has to be badass. Some of the anime that I watched that meet this criteria was Bleach, Kenshin, Death Note, Darker than Black, Bouso Renkin, Higashi no Eden..... So can you recommend something that has action/suspense that has a good storyline. I dont like: harems meccha space I prefer: Samurai or swords, special techniques, etc decent looking characters |
| samurai champloo, kenichi, cowboy bebop, trigun, soul eater (maybe), samurai X |
| nah the movies... unless they are called OVA's online ive only seen it on dvd |

| Samurai anime: Shigurui Sengoku Basara Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto Badass anime: Baccano! Texhnolyze Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor |

| obv cromartie high school. |
| Juuni Kokuki, don't worry, the heroine only starts out annoying. Solty Rei Naruto, similar to Bleach without as many glaring plot holes Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children, not the greatest plot ever, but the action sequences are well done |

| Strongly seconding Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing, Gungrave, Samurai Champloo and Baccano! Adding TTGL, Seirei no Moribito, Outlaw Star, Black Lagoon, Sword of the Stranger and Trigun. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Surprise nobody mentioned Black Lagoon... If it's anything it's "badass". |

| Black Lagoon. |
| Looked at the recs and added some more. Hopefully this will save me from the boring anime I have been watching |
| Ninja scroll, classic and quite badass. |
| Something cool to be placed here in the near future. |
| Seconding Sengoku Basara and Sword or the stranger~ |
 |
| Samurai champloo Ergo proxy Gungrave Cowboy beebop Black lagoon is supposed to be good Soul eater |
| Afro Samurai Ergo Proxy Madlax Red Garden |
 |
| Hokuto no Ken. /thread |

| I looks like you haven't started watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn! yet. I would definitely recommend that, it starts out quite slow, though. I almost stopped watching it myself because of how slow it was, but I eventually caved and now I can't get enough of it. |
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence...” |
| Berserk Is badass and Nedless 2 XD love that Anime ;p so damn funny |

Major_G said: Hokuto no Ken. Don't know why this wasn't suggested sooner, I strongly second this. Soul Eater is also Badass from what i've seen(though its only 20-30 out of 51 episodes) |
 |
| Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou Gungrave Karas Ninja Scroll (movie) |
| if you want special techniques... Prince of Tennis |
Score Criteria: |
| Black Lagoon and Sword of the Stranger, both great badass animes. |
   It won't give up it wants me dead god damn this noise inside my head |
| The Law of Ueki It's a little weird at first, but then it gets awesome. Probably one of my favorite action animes since all the battles are well thought out and it has the widest variety of different and unique superpowers I have ever seen. :) - Oh, and if you can, please check out our blog that two of my friends and I have been working on!
