Good Anime?

Im currently downloading Elfen Lied. My speeds been throttled back so itll take a loooong time. Im just wondering what other really good animes are? I like to see gory stuff, but i dont mind a bit of comedy thrown in there.

Im currently considering Gantz. Can anyone tell me its good or not?

Bakemontegari
Hellsing(ova)
Black Lagoon
Darker Than Black
Claymore
Devil May Cry
Tenjou Tenge

all relatively "gory" or pretty decent action.

Gantz is good. i like it very much. Empire listed some great Gory animes. I would like to add tokyo majin kenpucyo. Higurash no Naku kornoni is also gory....

Gantz is funny as hell and very gory/actiony....but for the most part the main characters don't want to kill so you think they're panseys, but if you can get past that it is one of my favorites!

uh i wouldn't recommend higurashi, its gory, yeah, but just a bit too twisted.

but yeah, everyone loves gantz lulz.
