Dark Shonen to watch, or action packed shonen?

Question

Ive seen so far several shonens including

Death Note

Guren lagan(hated)

Code geass

Naruto

One piece

Bleach

Champloo

Bebop

Black lagoon

Claymore

Can any1 recomend a Heavily action packed Shonen or maybe dark Shonen or both, similar to Claymore? Also should i watch Monster, or darker then black are those worth it?

Answer 1

These are all shounen i believe. They are action packed and i find some of them  between dark and distrubing and they have similarities with Claymore, though it's more on their violent and sometimes, gory elements than plot.

Ninja Scroll

Rurouni Kenshin

(quite old so i'm not sure if you would wanna watch it but it's got a great plot, great character development and great action scenes. It has a lot of fillers in between though.)

the above series are stuff, i personally saw myself but you can find more recommendations from this link:

for animes similar to other titles, you can type in the title of the anime and once the series come up you can check the recommendations section on the lower right corner.

If you're into cat and mouse games with complicated plots, i'd strongly suggest you watch monster. I haven't seen Darker than black though so i could only comment on Monster.
