Dark Anime Search

Alright here is your chance to shout your opinion.

Nobody, myself included, seems to be able to find an anime with this description.

I am looking for something dark, heavy, mystical, and magical with a nice solid plot. But here is catch it has to have some action to it.

So if anyone knows of such a rare jewel please divulge it to the world.

Let the hunt begin.

Boogiepop Phantom, maybe? Not mysto-magical in a medieval way, though.

Speed Grapher should fit the bill.

I think FullMetal Alchemist has a dark, heavy and a solid plot to it.

Wow those are nice suggestions. Thanks.

Full Metal is beyond a doubt dark; killers, religion, philosophy, science, magic, death....ahh heaven.

I thought X might be right, but since it was by CLAMP I wasn't sure if it was going to go so surreal that battle is forgotten.

Cossette go by another name? I could not find it on Anime News Network.

I love the darker anime. I always like the solid characters you find in such shows. Tragic Wonders, The Ambitiously Driven, Elegant Evil, etc.

Basically I am looking for something that takes the dark underside and magic of Full Metal Alchemist and melds it with the fists of fury of Yu Yu Hakushou.

And maybe a bit darker than that. Not necessarily violent (fighting aside), but dark in the way that Lain or .Hack/Sign are dark.

Anyone know anything of Shadow Skill??? Somebody recommended it to me.

Descendents of Darkness was another suggestion??? It looks good, but I wouldn't really be able to relate as well to the shonen ai aspect. Anything similar??

Sorry to bug everyone, but a great occult/fight anime is so much harder to find than daytime goofy school anime.

Both the OVAs and TV series is so so. Some of the fights scenes are good and the animation is decent to Flame of Recca's level. As for story... cant remember most of it, but all i know is the sudden ending killed it. However, its worth a try. ^^
