I have been in a mood the last few months. I have been wanting really good fights. Weather those fights are good because of the emotion, or because they are extra gruesome, choreographed etc., I just want something to entertain me without needing to think about it much. And live action movies just don't cut if for me, some are pretty good, but they just can't get what I want from them like anime can.
So, any recommendations for some good ol' violent anime? I prefer good choreography, but not entirely necessary.
Just to give an idea of what I am looking for here are some I have seen, that have some attributes I am looking for.
Trigun: not an incredibly violent series, but the way they did the fights gave me the chills, vash was just perfect. Also, didn't drag on (I HATE dbz)
Cowboy bebop: Similar reasons as trigun, but with decent choreography, and semi realistic scenarios (he can be injured, is not perfect)
Berzerk: How I wish it was done with the quality of bebop. This one had so much, the brutality of war, the determination of an awesome character, crazy emotion....ZODD!
Advent children: stylized fight scenes.
There are more, but I think you get the idea. Also, nothing that is more than like 50 episodes. I am already watching One Piece and Naruto, both crazy long, with no end in sight. I would love to get hooked on something that is relatively short so I can have a life lol.
The Manga "Tough" has some nice H2H brutality every now and then. The story is okay. It's not the best, but may satisfy your fist crushing faces needs.

well there is the Baki the Grappler anime/manga, then there's Hellsing (the ovas are amazing; they do the manga justice), Tenjho Tenge (be warned, there are a lot of flashbacks, but some of the fights make up for it. if you do end up liking it, read the manga since it's only 136 chapters long).
another anime I'm checking out is Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka. the anime has a lot of comedy and its fair share of fan service (some of which is quite disturbing), but the fight scenes are actually pretty good in my opinion especially about halfway through the series and near the end.
and maybe Beelzebub. those guys in the manga sure know how to smash heads into/through walls.
Also, dude, holy shit, check out out Samurai Champloo.

I recommend "Princess Resurrection". It has some great fights.
"Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS," "Kannazuki no Miko" (especially the duel between Himeko and Chikane if you want powerful emotion) and "Shinzo" also have some very good action scenes.
nice, 2 for Black Lagoon. and yes, Samurai Champloo is AMAZING! I can't find any fault with it, my favorite (funny) episode, is the baseball episode. So awesome!
Darker than black, FMA:B, Soul Eater. Maybe one of those, not positive what you're looking for. Soul Eater's ending sucks btw in case you do decide to watch it.

FMA: B follows the manga almost completely. I haven't watched it, but chances are that like the Naruto anime, they probably added in a few extra scenes, but other than that, it is spot on.
ugh, I can't watch anymore Soul eater, it is getting too....silly? I Don't like the chainsaw dude, just lessens the cool factor of the other weapons. And what is the deal with the mosquito man? Idk, I will continue past this part at least.
