Action anime with thirty something protagonist
Something in the spirit of Cobra the Animation (2010) and Golgo 13 (2008). With a guy doing what he does best resulting in good action. The guy shouldn't be much older then fifty.
Stuff I recommend myself in this category: [1983] Golgo 13 [1993] Juubee Ninpuuchou [1998] Golgo 13: Queen Bee [2006] Coyote Ragtime Show [2008] Golgo 13 [2008] Cobra the Animation: The Psychogun [2009] Cobra the Animation: Time Drive [2010] Cobra the Animation

Dimension W and Gangsta comes to mind.
There's also Fate Zero although Kiritsugu is one of many characters. Spike from Cowboy Beebop is 27 years old. Is that close enough?

Hm.. I've seen everything of that already and it's nothing I'd like to rewatch right now. Spike is old enough. As long as they're out of education, it's fine, I guess.
There's also Coyote Ragtime Show, which I just remembered. And Juubee Ninpuuchou. And that shitty movie that is like Juubee Ninpuuchou except with pussies instead of men: Stranger: Mukou Hadan.

The requirement was a guy in his mid-thirties (and older, but no grandpa), though. Spike felt kind of old enough, but generally mid-twenties is too young for what I have in mind, it seems.
I only watch anime that were completely released on Blu-ray, so I can't comment on the newer stuff, but Balsa is still too young. (Also, she's a woman and so is Clare and so is Michiko.) Lupin.. he kind of fits the description, but I disliked all anime he appeared in. Including the Conan one. And I generally like Conan. Not sure why I gave Lupin so many chances. Probably because there's a shitload of Lupin anime out there. About Bahamut and Psycho-Pass I have the same to say as I did about Tiger x Bunny. It's way too gay. Anime for women ain't for me, I guess.

The characters ain't homosexual (though, I wouldn't bet on it), but the shows are gay.
I'll have a look at Onihei. Can't find Blu-rays of Sengoku Musou, the others I know already. Average Shounen stuff isn't what I'm looking for, though. And Son Goku is too young. I guess age wise he fits, but he still acts like a child all the time. When he was put back into his young body in GT it wasn't quite the Conan "body of a child, but mind of an adult" thing.

*troll smirk* Why go all the way to be politically correct when we're talking about jap culture? Here's your list that people subconsciously forget.

Seen all of them. None of them are action and half of them have a protagonist that is barely in his twenties and the other two are 30 and younger.
I've watched Bahamut. The 2014 one, anyway. It's highly gay. Even Boku no Pico is more straight, since the guys at least look like girls. @Inuyashiki: No grandpas.
