Steampunk or similar
i am looking for a nice action based steampunk or similar anime,
things that i want: -nice and cool characters -nice art and animation quality, nice music -the plot mostly i'll prefer based on magic, guns and swords can be a side thing but not the main theme -good humor -cool steampunk clothing and style -may be a little gothic things that i don't want: -plot with fight against demons with special weapons(already seen the best of such theme in D.gray Man) -gore, blood is fine(like in FMA),but no gore(by gore i mean, limbs and heads flying around and flesh and organ bursts) -rape,torture, or anything heavy disturbing -war setting -mechanical things, a little is okay, but not too much of it Millitary can be a side thing,but not the main theme, sometimes dark or serious atmosphere is okay,but not going into very much tragedy. A different non action plot is also welcomed Steampunk or similar animes that i have seen, and want similar to these Full Metal Alchemist/Brotherhood D.Gray Man Soul Eater 07-Ghost Pandora Hearts Black Butler- din't like it very much And thanks in advance

A little???
I like Samurai 7, but if the OP is skipping LE (IMO the finest steampunk anime ever) because it has a war subplot, S7 would be an odd choice. I think he should watch both, but I'd certainly start with LE.

It's important not to get fixated on the dictionary definition of words when replying to suggestions. The OP asked for steampunk, but then gave a list of what he considers steampunk (as well as not liking machines ). Now, 'steampunk' is certainly not the first, second, third, etc, word that would come to mind when I look at the shows on his list. So, throw your conceptions of what steampunk is out the window.
Based on your show list, OP, I feel like what you're basically looking for is pseudo-Victorian era/early industrial era/early 1900s type settings. In which case I'd suggest something like Baccano!. There are guns, but there's also magic. Plus, it's practically a classic. The Last Avatar would probably also fit neatly into what you're looking for, with plenty of magic, and while there's war going on, it's no more intrusive to the plot as it is in Full Metal Alchemist, which was on your list. The tech level is predominantly 'steam'-level.

^ i think FMA and D.gray Man, pretty much does fall into steampunk category,soul eater and 07-ghost aren't exactly steampunk, but they do have steampunk elements in it,ok my requirements might not be exactly steampunk, but as the title says "or similar"
and by, not lot of machines i meant(i am clearing this again), lots of heavy and large machines or factories, as i already said i don't mind if it's there, but just shouldn't be excessive and i did start on Baccano!, but din't continue it after first 15 min, as it was getting very confusing in the beginning and also lots of gore.Does it contain lot of gore in the series later on? not necessarily all the "wants" should be satisfied, but all the "don't wants" should be

If you're looking for a nice show with a 19th century setting, I'll recommend Ikoku Meiro no Croisee, about a Japanese girl who goes to Paris in the late 1800's. Allison to Lillia might also have some appeal. Steampunk does not seem to be very popular these days.

Your request is kinda difficult outside of FMA & D.Gray-man, but here are some more addition that you can try:
Chrono Crusade (young female nun, accompanied by a demon as a bodyguard) Pumpkin Scissors (pure steampunk, no magic) Strike Witch (this is basically about magical soldier girls) Trinity Blood (basically similar with D.Gray-man)

Trinity Blood has humor (just a little) and also not too heavy on the gore (for me at least).
Please note that the titles that I recommend you before don't always have the greatest stories since my priority is the elements that fit your request (particularly steampunk/victorian setting).
