Action / Suspense Anime
 
Last genre thread I will make for now. This one's for discussing any anime with tons of guns, tons swords, tons of fighting or anything with over-the-top stunts. Also for what Im calling suspense, any anime that has a plot that is intrinsic, mind blowing, awe-striking, or thought inducing (stuff that isnt exactly action but is still very intense such as Death Note.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Spoiler
The human race has been suppressed to living in underground caves by the Spiral King, Lord Genome. Meanwhile, Gunmen (mechas) patrol the overworld, killing any humans who escape their underground villages. However, heros, Kamina and Simon are able to escape their village and hijack a red gunman. Simon pilots the small "Lagann" mecha that has a large drill; Kamina pilots the larger "Gurren" mecha; combined: Gurren-Lagann. The two meet a number of other rebel friends. The ultimate goal is to overthrow Lord Genome and the gunmans' rule and let the human race live freely. But they dont know the consequences of their dreams quite yet... As my first anime, the extreme over-the-top action in this series really got me hooked on anime.


Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
Spoiler
"Zwei" has lost his memory when he wakes up he is forced to become an assassin for an unknown organization. Ein and Zwei are the perfect assassin partners (colored with a little romance too). However, Zwei is thinking about the future and knows he and Ein must attempt to escape the organization to be able to live together freely. But the organization's mastermind isnt about give up the world's best assassins so easily.


Black Cat
Spoiler
Cant remember his name, but he is XIII (number 13) in an assassins organization, codename: Black Cat, the organizations most feared assassin. However, he leaves the organization to pursue love and a different life. He becomes a bounty hunter with a few new friends. The main plot is shallow until things come back together towards the end.

Black Cat was the best at the beginning. I felt Train got too soft in the end, but he was still a cool character.

My list of animes that have not been mentioned:
Durarara!
K
Karneval
Madoka Magica
Psycho-Pass


Some of the ones I've seen otherwise I'm not sure of counting as suspense or have enough action to be considered an action. Example: Kuroko no Basket has action, but is illustrated through sports and not through violent battles and is loaded with plenty of suspense.

Does SAO count?
It sucks in animation and drama, but I think it counts..

Animation does not suck at all, their fight scenes just displays some great animation, everything smoothly done. The content is what sucks.

I'm not a fan of the hyper detailed faces and arm stretching.
