Longstanding big shounen: (> 100 episodes)
One Piece- Journey with special powers, pirate like guns but swords often more effective
Bleach- Sword based weapons, good action
Naruto- Ninjas
Rurouni Kenshin- Samurai in the Meiji period (95 episodes actually)
Inuyasha- Samurai and Demons in the Feudal period
Shorter Intense Series: (<53 episodes)
Code Geass- Hard to explain but my favorite
Death Note- Smalltime horror elements along with an interesting main character.
Darker Than Black- More special powers but darker
Stein's Gate- Sci fi time travel
Trigun- Set on a more desolate planet then Earth
Baccano!- Hilarious and interesting
Gurren Lagann- Plot driven
Here are some ideas. Almost all of them are action.
