action with good story and good animation

[raduccio]

Hi guys! Like the title sais, I'm looking for an action anime with good story and good animation.

I already saw most of the good mechs (code geass, eureka 7, fmp, gurenn, rahxephon) and some fantasy genre (elfen lied, kaze no stigma, index, railgun, shana, tsubasa) and I was wondering if there were more like these out there.

Seirei no Moribito - fantasy with good story and great animation

As for mecha I'll recommend Zegapain

Rest is for action and superpowers

Darker than Black
Xam'd
Tetsuwan Birdy Decode

I'll second both of those and say Canaan for mystery/action/gun.
Maybe Angel Beats also.

Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari - Great animation, great fights, great characters.

Spoiler for Synopsis:

Kenshi Masaki is the half brother of Tenchi Masaki and used to live in Japan, that is until he was summoned to the land of Geminar. The Land of Geminar has been witness to an endless amount of wars that have been fought using Seikijin, bio-mechanical weapons controlled by a capable warrior called a Seikishi using magic power called Ahou. It is revealed that Kenshi is an amazing Seikishi and it seems someone has a reason for Kenshi to be in Geminar, but who and why are not known.

I'll second Xam'd and Canaan.

Maybe even the Macross series. SDF-1 and Frontier being my favourites. Macross Zero has some brutal combat scenes, one scene especially when a Variable Fighter tears it's way into a Carrier and uses the nose mounted vulcan cannon on the sailors inside.

*shudder*

Katanagatari?

I don't see Fullmetal Alchemist on your list. That should be rectified.

Crest of the Stars would be good.

Read Or Die

Soul Eater

Chrome Shelled Regios

I will second Seriei no Moribito & Darker than Black. Both had great characters, plot, and the action was really sweet.

I third Xam'd, that series was great. I couldn't stop watching it and I ended up watching it inside a few days. The music is superb, animation is movie-level, and the characters are terrific. I also second Macross, they were all awesome in every category.

if you are after a really good action series you should give Black Lagoon a try.

[Plasma.]

Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Black lagoon, Full Metal Panic and Full Metal Alchemist are some good ones i think you'll enjoy.

You'll probably end up watching all of them in the end since they are not worth missing. I'd say start off with Cowboy Bebop, one of the best anime ever.
