Gintama is pretty tame.
Cool and fun, but a tad tame.

About to start watching Jormungand. From the outlooks it's bound to be enjoyable.
edit://
***Update***
Watched first Jormungand episode.
It's good! If you like Black Lagoon, you have to watch this one too! (looking at you Hanar)

In that case I apologize, I seem to have mixed up my memory a bit there.

Another update on Jormungand:
Hell yeah, it's good! Definately Black Lagoon level. Funny thing is I've read that the show has a crossover moment with Black Lagoon (as in in-universe, not fanfiction) though I didn't check it up because I wanted to avoid spoilers.
edit://
Show keeps getting better per episode.
As a small side fact, it actually portrays sniper fire correctly, with projectile travel and the sound of the shot arriving after the projectile hit. I know, it's a minor detail, but I totally dig that kind of accuracy (pun intended).

Now that I'm up to speed with the manga I wonder how they're gonna continue with him in subsequent fights and if he's gonna keep going crazy berserk and wanting to eat the world or what.Isichar wrote...

Decided to start reading the AoT manga where the anime left off, because F* it I'm gonna get the whole series spoiled anyway if I don't. Seems like they kinda messed up Eren's character development in the last episode, I dunno. Made it more dramatic, I guess.
Anime: crazy Eren
Manga: sane Eren

Been meaning to check out that one.
Pelase tell me it's more sensible than Black Lagoon.
The over-the-top action with super-powered action-"hereos" (terminator maid, metal munching crazy, incestous super-strong kiddies) really turned me off.
Please tell me that the characters and skill levels are kept credible.

Based on the first five episodes, whilst Jormungand doesn't really fall short in the action department, it isn't as over the top as Black Lagoon likes it and the characters and their skills are not unrealistic so far. Quite the contrary in fact, as I had pointed out, so far the show really sells itself to my by way of being genre untypically accurate and detailed.

Yeah, you could say that. Tho I myself felt Jormungand to be missing that special spizazz that made Black Lagoon great. And I'm maybe not talking about "over the top". It's rather that there's no psychological tension, and not much impact on the emotional side. Characters aren't really interesting as in not fleshed out believably nor with impact.

I'll take more "normal" characters over over-emotional character.
Quite often anime has characters that are walking emotional problems. Find one, ramp it up to 11.

Same here. Hardly can call Jormungand characters normal though. Just a tad boring and simple. Kinda crude. Don't have anything of importance to say (to the viewer).
As to over-emotional - that's why I damn hate most of Attack on Titan, eveything akin to Kaiji and that prison show called Rainbow. Really overdramatized idiot characters all over those, in my opinion.
Yet "believably, intellectually and thoughtfully angsty with a reason to it" is what makes many characters great. Some sad melancholy or a desolate feel has weight. Doesn't need to be emotional per se... Just that the piece needs to define and flesh out the existentialist side of itself in nuances dealling with emotion as well, for me to like it.

A shame really I'm more or less allergic to that kind of artstyle.
I just can't stand it and there's soooooo many great manga/anime I can't enjoy for that reason.

Its one reason I could see the anime going off in a completely different direction. Manga Eren can control his titan form fine, going berserk has not been an issue. Anime Eren on the other hand goes berserk every single fight and it has only gotten worse.
When Eren is fighting the female titan in the city at the end of S1 in the manga he is only trying to capture her and subdue her, in the anime he is tearing her limbs off with his teeth well going on about how hes "free" and how hes going to "destroy the world"
