Is shounen a genre?
I do like some shounen, Some of my favourite shows are shounen.

I'm just in the mood for something different, I guess I'm asking for good seinen.

Type then? pedantic much ^_^ or was that a genuine question
Genre=a style or category of art, music, or literature
I know what you mean though, they're more overarching terms, then there's more specific genres like comedy, fantasy etc below them

Ping Pong
Kyousougiga (this is shounen along with a bunch of other style's, but just awesome, more about the family feels)
Ergo Proxy

Sorry i only really watch shounen and the odd bit of ecchi ^^

Sorry wasn't being pedantic, my understanding is that shounen and Seinen are aimed at different target audience's (as in age). Both have many different genres within them as you say.

Non Action

Death Parade - When people die they are Reincarnated or go to Hell. Largely psychological show about "Purgatory", where decisions are made on who should go where (by playing a "game") - Somewhat weak on overall plot but each episode is interesting on its own.
Steins;Gate - Time travel. Alternate Realities.
Boku dake ga Inai Machi - A man goes back in time to catch an unknown murderer that killed someone he knows
Mayoiga - A group of people go to a village away from known existence to start a new life and end up uncovering a lot of mysteries

Action

Katanagatari
One Punch Man (also a comedy)
Samurai Champloo (says Shounen in genres but I disagree)
Black Lagoon


My top 4 out of this 8

One Punch Man
Steins; Gate
Boku dake ga Inai Machi
Death Parade
