I've not watched much anime in a long time. But I'm interested in a certain kind. If you can name some that well match these requirements, please let me know them.
Very serious with little to no comic relief.
Animation that is not nasty, such as with overly think and lanky characters.
Not effiminate.
Dialog centered.
Loner, anti-hero main character.
Primarily focused on one or a few characters and not many.
Fantasy based.
Little to no science fiction elements.
Maturely written, meaning absent most cliches, and targetted towards adults.
Not a gore fest, but gritty.
Psychological: For example, the main character might have a drinking problem and we would see his struggle to overcome it.
Well choreographed battles.
I suppose that's enough.

I've seen Tri-Gun.
I've seen a bit of Naruto, too, and I'm not interested in it enough to watch it in full.

Miyu is good.
I should add that I prefer a dark to middle ages setting.

I've not seen everything listed so far. But, forgive me please, I absolutely hate One Piece, and have no interest in even seeing a subtitled version. Still, I thank all for their suggestions.

Possibly take a look at .hack//sign, its not a real complex story, it is 26 episodes long, not hard to get into for the most part. Fantasy themed and darker than most. Does this help?

i can't think of one anime that fits all of those stipulations, the closest would be any in the galaxy express series. newer ones include cosmic warrior zero, the galaxy railway, and captain herlock... full metal alchemist, gantz, serial experiments lain (techonological, but not necissarily sci-fi), samurai 7, vampire princess miyu, X, yugo... those are all i have on my shelves that fit most of your criteria... it depends on what criteria are most important to you. i doubt you will find an anime that fits all the ones you listed, but good luck

Witch Hunter Robin perhaps? Or Bastard (I think that's the name of the one I'm thinking of)? You're being awfully specific, and I just can't think of that many animes that fit all of those criteria at the same time.
