Here are some recommendations.
These are all exciting and violent but also complex and plot driven. I've put them in order of how much I like them, so you don't have to read them all. If you have any questions about them, send me a message. The numbers skip where I excluded an anime that you've already seen.
1. Steins Gate - This is about time travel and the butterfly effect. It lets you see how much of a difference in the world a single action can make. It has a lot of action and some romance.
2. Madoka Magica - Magical girls that turn evil to work against the second law of thermodynamics. It contains magic, time-travel, violence, and mystery. It is much more than it first seems and definitely worth watching.
3. Darker than Black - A futuristic world where people have powers and no emotions. It focuses on contractors and a mysterious wall that separates the urban setting from the outside world.
4. Paranoia Agent - Obsession taking over people and causing them to go insane. The art is a little lacking but this has one of the best plots of any anime I have seen.
5. Fate/zero - The main character is pretty cold, tactical, smart, and will do anything to win. It's action packed and quite complex.
6. Code Geass - A guy who uses his power to control people to protect his handicapped sister and launch a rebellion. It's mecha but much more psychologically complex than most mecha anime.
7. Death Note - Being able to murder simply by writing a name in a book. It is a psychological thriller for anyone. It has some very likable characters, L being my favorite anime character.
9. Monster - A neurosurgeon saves the life of a child who becomes a serial killer
10. Angel Beats - People who have died learning to give up their past regrets. I love the main character because of his apathetic yet rebellious attitude.
11. Requiem for the Phantom - It is a very dark, sad, action, thriller anime with a hint of romance. It follows a Japanese tourist who is abducted and is turned into an assassin.
12. Mirai Nikki - A survival game in which the competitors can have future diaries. It contains a crazy girl and a protagonist who undergoes a huge transformation.
13. Cowboy Bebop - Classic through and through. It is very funny and filled with action to boot. The different planets are really nifty settings. Everyone should give it a chance.
14. Zero No Tsukaima - This an anime about a teenage boy that travels to another world filled with magic. He is somehow mysteriously summoned by a young girl as her familiar pet, and has to fight as her slave.
15. Guilty Crown - this is a pretty action packed anime. It's new so the animation is top notch. It's about an apathetic kid who becomes powerful and saves the world from destruction using the power of DNA introns.
16. Kuroshitsuji - About a contract between a British heir to a toy company and a demon. It has lots of action and mystery elements.
17. Gurren Laggan - this involves people who escape from an underground world to fight strange earth dwelling creatures. It's mecha but much different that traditional action based anime. Pretty cool overall!
18. Higashi no Eden - This series features a male protagonist whose goal is to fix his country. It's action packed!
20. Clannad - It's really emotional and powerful. There's two season. Clannad After Story which is rated quite highly.
21. Durarara- It's about a teen who moves to Japan and get's involved in Tokyo's shady underground.
23. Pandora Hearts - A really dark anime. It deals with something from another world. Alice gives Oz a power that she has in a demon contract.
24. Trinity Blood - This anime deals with violent politics and empires and nobles and such in violent and super natural wars.
25. Hellsing - This is definitely the best of the vampire animes!
26. Ouran High School Host Club- a poor girl goes to a school for rich kids. She suddenly got into a club full of handsome guys and broke their very expensive vase, and she now has to be a host in order to pay her debt.
27. Elfen Lied - Lots of death and dark storylines, characters that arent who they appear to be to other characters in the series, great music.
28. Nabari No Ou - this is a ninja anime but it is focussed on an apathetic kid with hidden powers. It also highlights his relationship with another guy who is at first his enemy. A nice little story!
Hope you like them! :)

Since you have suggested demons and swords, I would give Hakuouki - Demon of the Fleeting Blossom a try. It involoves a lot of fighting and samurai relations, but can get rather bloody, and they curse a lot. You grow attached to the characters, although the main female is rather annoying. >> I wan to say it's rated 17+, but it is very good, despite a slow pace in the beginning. I'll warn you though, the second season gets sad. Hope this will help you any ^^
