In the last several days I've found several unbelievably awesome Seinens, like Otogi Matsuri, which people NEVER mention on this forum for some reason in any recommendations.

I was doubtful about reading it for that particular reason (I've been through an insane amount of mangas recommended on these forums), but found Otogi to be a very entertaining manga.

This leads me to my request, anyone aware of seinen action mangas which haven't really been mentioned, but that are still good reads (no one-shots/untrans'd mangas please >.<)?

Blaster Knuckle one word to describe it; AWESOME. Even if the ending is a little abrupt because it got canceled due to lack of a fanbase.

Fire Candy Pretty cool. More known then Blaster, but still not very known at all. Again, this one wasn't "completed". I do believe the author dropped it to pick up a different project.

Children of the Sea is really interesting, but the scanalation group that was doing it disband, so no one is currently doing it. Not an action manga.

Tokyo Akazukin Pretty heavy stuff. XD

Zashiki Onna Defiantly nice, and one of the only horror manga I have found creepy/remotely scary. Again, not really action-packed.

Zombie Hunter Again, this one was left unfinished.... it seems most of my favorite seinen never get finished. ><

Ray I remember it being cool, but I have to admit its been over 6 years since I last read it.

Baba-yaga I remember it being interesting..

Twin Spica Cute, interesting, and fairly unappreciated. Not really an action manga, though.

Lives Pretty dang awesome.

Tanabata no Kuni By the same mangaka as Historie/Parasyte, farily interesting, if not at the same level as those two.

I'll add more as I remember them.

I think you'd probably like many of these:
Dorohedoro - Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Action
Shin Angyo Onshi - Fantasy/Action
Basilisk - Samurai/Action
Vagabond - Samurai/Action
Blade of the Immortal - Samurai/Action
Akumetsu - Action/Thriller
Kiseijuu - Action/Sci-Fi/Monster/Aliens
Hellsing - Action/Monster
Trigun - Action/Comedy
Black Lagoon - Action
Madara - Action/Fantasy
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Action/Adventure

I personally prefer grittier seinen, although a few of these fit the bill.

Yeah, never heard of Vagabond and Hellsing before

I second Gunslinger Girl because it's my all time fav manga. So even if it had been always mentioned, it'd not be enough.
Second Kurogane too.

Then probably I'd start with Kurozuka. Sometimes it's mentioned, but not so often.
Dance in the vampire bund: I dunno how much it could have been suggested recently.
Vampire Juujikai sometimes mentioned. I like it.
There are still Ares and Nephilim which are from the same author that are manhwa. Ares is mentioned pretty often though.
