Any good unlicenced action series?

So I just finished watching Claymore and I'm all PUMPED UP!
For the time being I'm dling Gintama, but the description sais "action comedy".
I'm really looking for something "serious" that's loaded with action.

How about Kenichi? I haven't seen it, but people seem to like it a lot.

Will have a go. I saw the first two eps of Gintama and it's not really what I'm looking for.

You're right. Of the top of my head:
Berserk
Gantz
Elfen Lied
Claymore
Melody Of Oblivion
Blood
KonoMini
Samurai 7
Samurai Champloo
Noir
Hellsing

I've probably seen alot of the "must see" anime of up to two years ago. Though I'm not up to date with the current stuff, so Claymore was a nice surprise.

On a side-note: The thing with Gintama is that you need to have seen a few more episodes in order to see its brilliance. The first few episodes indeed were some of the worst of the entire series. :P

Anyway, for action, you could check out Shigurui, Baccano, Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto or Souko no Strain.

^^I had considered Shigurui but have heard not great things about it. It's worth checking out?

Thanks peeps, these suggestions should keep me occupied for a while!

As for Gintama, I saw the first 2 eps and, apart from some novelty Bleach references ("damn, I wish I had that guy's bankai...") I found it quite boring at best. But I'll give it another go.

The thing with Shigurui is that it's incredibly gory. Elfen Lied is nothing compared to it. Apart from that, though, it's an excellent horror-series that perhaps ended a tad too early.
