I have lost my spark with manga and anime I would like that back. Any senien that has a lot of blood and action but not a linear story plot will help. Or any anime that is original and has a great story. Please I feel like my otakuness is leaving me. Thanks in advance.
edit Also wanted to add anything smart like Death Note

well, if you want lots of blood then you should read berserk either that or i totally recommend shin angyo onshi, thats another manga on the epic scale, though not as much as berserk.

some other ones include
black lagoon
dogs and it's sequel Dogs: Bullets & Carnage
high school of the dead
vagabond
xblade
zetman

thats all i can name off the top of my head

Shin Angyo Onshi is a superb manga. I'll definitely second it.

Other than that, these are very manga that I've personally found impressive. They don't all perfectly fit what your asking for (their not all violent seinen; they are original in my eyes though but not anime) but maybe some you will find appealing.

Gunslinger Girl
Vampire Juujikai
Immortal Regis
Kurohime (it doesn't get really good until around volume 5 though)
Superior
Himegami
Aiki
Hellsing

I'd give some anime suggestions as well but I can't really think of much. Maybe Code Geass if you haven't already seen it.

Violent Seinen? Excellent.

Ubel Blatt, Parasyte, Elfen Lied, Ichi the Killer, and Tokyo Akazukin are a couple suggestions. For smarts, I recommend Historie, which is a Seinen and has a bit of violence on top.

Read Battle Royale novel reading gantz and homonculus already. Not big fan of fairy tale read a lot of it. I read some MPD Psycho may look into it. I have read parts of fressia before but no much of Matsumoto's work so I l look into it thanks. The anime that Kurozuka selected I am already watching except ergo proxy may watch that. Thanks for that.

Ping Pong.
If you don't care for the actual ping-pong playing in it, then read it for the incredible character development and relationships.

By the way Highway-STAR is your name from the Deep Purple song or the manga?

All mostly good seinen stuff, mostly have action/ psychological /blood or gore:

Tajuujinkaku Tantei Psycho- if you liked death note...this might interest you, more bloody and action and mature though, detective with multi-personalities
Liar Game- might be good if you like psychological thinking stuff
Shamo-life of a guy who aims to be strong and survive in world, lots of blood and fighting
Vinland Saga- got to try this if you liked Berserk/Ubel Blatt
Freesia-very twisted action manga with lots of blood and killing, got some psychological aspects in it, about hitmans
Priest- bloody awesome action manhwa, a cursed priest shooting up zombies+people
Sanctuary- also good if you liked death note
Jiraishin-cold ass detective with many interesting cases...can get boring sometimes though
Jormungand- squad with some badass people
Akumetsu-a high school kid attempts to change the corrupted world...with very extreme actions, lots of action+drama+blood
Gunslinger Girl-kids trained to kill
Ares- good action manhwa
