so i absolutely loved Sword art online, Eureka 7(original), high school of the dead, full metal alchemist: brotherhood, and Guilty crown.

in addition to those, i love Naruto, bleach death note, and fate zero.

I'm sure there are many more animes that i have watched but i just cannot remember them,
as much as i'd hate to admit it, i love corny shit, but action is always really nice.

i was about to try fairy tail, cause i heard thats good. any other recommendations? i love corny shit but it has to have some action.

If you're set on the corny action style, go for Samurai Champloo.

If you need a break from all that, I highly recommend Mushishi.

One of the most original anime out there

Here are some action ones I thought were good.

Hunter X Hunter - Older version is less censored than the newer remake
http://myanimelist.net/anime/11061/Hunter%5Fx%5FHunter%5F(2011)

Gintama - Has some serious action parts, lots of gags in it too.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/918/Gintama

Neon Genesis Evangelion - A classic, really good.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/30/Neon%5FGenesis%5FEvangelion

Angel Beats - Not alot of action, but definately worth watching
http://myanimelist.net/anime/6547/Angel%5FBeats!

Full Metal Panic
http://myanimelist.net/anime/71/Full%5FMetal%5FPanic!

Code Geass - Personally didn't like, but it's popular
http://myanimelist.net/anime/1575/Code%5FGeass:%5FHangyaku%5Fno%5FLelouch

Btoom! - Similar to SAO, but stuck in a fps game that uses bombs.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/14345/Btooom!

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
http://myanimelist.net/anime/2001/Tengen%5FToppa%5FGurren%5FLagann

Freezing - I only read the manga for this, not sure how the anime is.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/9367/Freezing

If you like comedy stuff, I have a huge list for that.

I suggest avoiding Gintama until you watch more anime

Yeah that, Gintama makes alot of parodies and references to different series and japanese themes.

Mushishi is awesome, but it has little to no action, no main storyline, no drama, etc. It's in a genre of it's own, so watch it when you need a break or really just want something different.

Yes, but it has that awesome, slightly corny element that makes it so great. Plus pretty good characters.

---> If you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, then I highly recommend that as probably the best nonserious action anime. <---
