If you like YYH, then try Dragonball Z, around the time with the saiyans to the end of Namek, theres usually something happening and the fights are more detailed and better styled.

Dead Leaves--#1 choice: more action you could thought possible in 60 minutes, every scene is either explosions, gun blazing, or just someone getting there ass kicked along with a nice story.

Fist of the North Star: along with heads exploding, Kenshiro beats the crap out them, then they have a horrible death.

New Dominion Tank Police: short but with plenty of gun blazing and mini tanks that make you think of 80's style Tachcoma's.

Gunsmith Cats: 3 episode OVA, pretty girls, car chases and a girl with pretty grenades under her coat.

Queen Emeraldas: Bad ass female space pirate, best part was when she took out that space cruiser with nothing but her gun.

Particular episodes of Inuyasha: where he fought the Thunder brothers, his first 2 fights with Sesshoumaru and when he fought Ryukotsuei.

Black Cat ---- Has a nice share of action, with different characters possessing different skills/powers.

GANTZ ---- Probably my all-time favorite anime, and it does have plenty of amazing action, despite all the hesitation and anticipation.

Berserk ---- A guy named Guts totes around a massive sword, action and war ensues.

Tenjho Tenge ---- Martial arts, swords, it's pretty good if you don't mind the excessive fanservice.

Burst Angel ---- Mecha, guns, & more fanservice... some really enjoy this series a lot while others can't stand it. I liked it.

Tsubasa Chronicle ---- A different kind of shounen title. Although it has a good amount of action, I wouldn't say it's "action packed"... the action it does carry is pretty nice though.

And some other animes you may have heard of: Samurai Champloo, NGE, Dual!, Speed Grapher, Mononoke Hime, Ninja Scroll, Akira, Blood: The Last Vampire...

Gunna stop at that. But there's a lot of different kinds of action, since action is also a very versatile word. For example, Monster has a lot of action but not the kind of fighting action you're probably referring to. Plot-wise, the action is non-stop!

I second the Ninja Scroll and Samurai Champloo suggestions.

In addition, from looking at your list of favorites, I might also suggest checking out Samurai 7 and Gungrave. While neither is action PACKED, the action sequences are kick @$$, and both have pretty decent storylines, IMO.

Again, just going by what you listed - personally, I wouldn't consider Wolf's Rain all that "actiony" as it's very much plot driven...but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

Hope this helps

A few I like.

Full Metal Panic: lots of humor and good mecha fights.

Najica Blitz Tactics: plenty of action in a fan service special.

Noir: great story and lots of gun fighting.

It really all depends on what your take on "action packed" consists of. Lots of fighting (ie sword fights, samaurais, demon wars, wars, space wars, feudal wars) war with a background story (ie love story, revenge..) or something more modern-esque-ish... I havent seen many action packed animes but I can tell you I did see Gun Grave and it was pretty good (I did only see like 6 eps. so Im not an expert, it could end up being the epitome of teh suck) It was kind of a gangy mafia style story absoluteanime says its action/sci-fi... I didnt see a lot of sci-fi from what I watched... the site could be of more help than me thats for sure

: http://www.absoluteanime.com/anime.php? ... tart&text= do a genre search, theres a brief description of the basic story for each anime.

I'm gonna have to second GunGrave. Epic, ever-twisting story with tons of gun fights.

I much appriciate all the reccomendations. I of course didn't list all of the action animes I've seen, so a few of the animes you guys recommended were actually former favorites of mine, like S-CRY-ed, DBZ, samurai champloo, etc. But please continue to recommend any and all, and any specific amvs featuring the animes, much thanx!
