Preferably straight to the point without beating around the bush. Is barely known is also okay. Already watched Vinland saga, inuyahiki, and others that trending on tiktok.

You might like Parasyte if you haven’t seen it yet pretty straightforward and intense. Texhnolyze too, if you’re okay with something really dark and slow-burn.

Just note shonen and seinen are technically demographics and not genres. They don't mean a series is dark or has action. Both demographics have a lot of variety including lighthearted slice of life series.
For something similar to Vinland Saga you could try Dororo which is a somewhat dark historical action series.
