I've decided to watch some anime, which is something I haven't done for over ten years. Now I know some of the posters here are anime fans. I was wondering whether anyone could tell me what are some cool anime movies or series. I'm looking for anime with lots of action in it. Anything is welcome. Thanks!

Black Lagoon, Gunslinger Girl, Seirei no Moribito, and Darker Than Black are a few good ones.

In terms of action scenes, Seirei no Moribito has by FAR the best sequences out of all these. However, these scenes are less-frequent compared to the others.

For movies, look up Karas one and two, and maybe appleseed (if you seen that then ignore).

Shows, Seven Samurai, Bleach(some like and some don't), and Samurai Champloo.

Those are a few that I can think of off the top of my head.

To give you guys an idea of how long I haven't been wtaching anime: some movies i remember watching are Akire, Sin City, Fist of the North Star, Street fighter anime and the first Ghost in the Shell (which I'm watching now). Out of these I liked Fist of the North Star and Sin City best. Ghost in the Shell is cool but it too low paced for me. Akire never really appealed to me.

Ouran High SchoolHosr Club. It's a romantic comedy anime/manga written by the genius Bisco Hatori. The reason I call her genius is because she was the one who made Tamaki and I love Tamaki Suoh to death!

If u want something a bit more mature try Death Note, Code geass or Claymore. They all have reaaaaaally goos stories, action and the characters are really awesome specially the first 2 they r bastards but a lot of fun to watch.

If u like Mecha Gurren lagann and Gundam 00 are some of the best(code geass is mecha too but its just so much more than that).

I enjoyed cyber city odeo 808, Iria, 3X3 eyes, yu yu hakushou, dbz, kenshin, ranma 1/2

I like the ones with a really distinct art style - I don't usually watch the ones that emualte each other - the huge eyes and spikey hair is all right in moderation

Bleach, Death Note (watch in english voice dubs), Neon Genesis Evangelion and its movies, FullMetal Alchemist, Hellsing are all easy to get into, and they are all my favorites.

Also Naruto if you like somthing a little less mature, but I love its story and characters personally.

Nobody has mentioned FATE STAY NIGHT... it is a really good anime... I also recommend:

- Claymore
- Death Note
- School Rumble, if you want to have a good laugh

Enjoy

Death Note is a sweet anime, there isn't a lot of action, but the story is so good that it pulls you in. It pulled me in more than most action-oriented animes. But as for action animes, I would go with Hellsing, Hellsing Ultimate, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, Devil May Cry, Afro-Samurai, Trinity Blood, ect.

Some good ones are Full Metal ALchemist, Death Note, Bleach, Elfen Lied, and of course I think Naruto is the best thing ever.

Some of the Abosolutes.

Full Metal Alchemist

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Death note (Not sure on this as I've read only the manga, but if it's loyal to manga watch it.)

Those would be my three essentials.

I don't think that's a good anime for people just coming off of a long hiatus ... it's way to quirky (it is good though ...)

You can try The Last Exile. I didn't really see much of it, but it had quite a bit of action, and it was pretty good.

Watch Code Geass or Death Note, I'm sure you'll like one of those. Then there's Shakugan no Shana, Fullmetal Alchemist, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni... there's just a lot. I don't know what you like, though.
