Gimme an epic anime that is loaded with 'Oh shit!' moments. I need something loaded with it, like SNK. That was fun to watch with friends.

I have not seen many things, so checking my list shouldn't be such a chore. I'm going await your recommendations
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

Already have Durarara, just need to start it. I'll check out Shinsekai Yori though.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann from you Plan to Watch list should be a fun watch with some twists that may give those "Oh shit!" moments (assuming of course you haven't been spoiled on key details already).

^ Hear that man, he speaks the truth.

Another and Higurashi no naku koro ni are both good options. And, in a weird, comedic way, Detroit Metal City :D

Dobule posting, sorry.

Gimme Oh shit moments and fantasy elements now. Don't feel like modern or sci fi settings. Might go with them if they have fantasy elements though.

So in general you want fantasy and historical settings?

Berserk
Katanagatari - majority of it is dialogue though.
Kingdom - has some pretty poor cgi.
Giant Robo - The Day the Earth Stood Still - highly recc trying this one (it's only 7 eps.)
Claymore
Break Blade
Mahou Shoujo Nanoha
Darker Than Black

It kind of depends what counts as an 'oh shit' moment.

^ I've reading Berserk and watching Mahou Shoujo Nanoha. Different kinds of "OH SHIT" eh? Darker than Black was good, might pick it back up.

Thanks for your suggestions guys! Don't need replies anymore!
