Recommend modern-ish (2008-now) action anime series that feels like oldschool OVA. Here's what I want:

- Simple story that doesn't take itself seriously. Or if it does, it's in a campy, cheesy, "so bad it's good" kind of way.
- Action and violence cranked up to 11. Tons of over the top shootouts, car chases, CQC and what have you. As for violence, I want it equally over the top. Bullets exploding people's limbs, knives that effortlessly slice through flesh, hand to hand techniques that easily break bones etc.
- Set in modern times, cyberpunk, post-apo, or sci-fi, and primarily gun-oriented. I want lots of guns and shootouts, so a fantasy setting is out. No shonen-like superpowers either.
- Humor. The more the better. Preferably of darker breed, but I'll take whatever, as long as it's not cringeworthy and fits the overall tone of the show.
- Character designs that are more on the realistic side (i.e. no moe shit), but made to be super cool at the same time. Basically, male characters should always be either beefy, super manly, badass men or guys whose faces you could find in the dictionary next to words "cool" and "badass", and females should always look and dress sexily. Some fanservice is also appreciated, albeit not necessary.
- Good animation. I don't have too high standards for that. As long as you can't count the frames on the fingers of one hand and the action segments look fluid and dynamic, it's fine with me.
- Non-episodic format. I'm gonna be binge watching it, so any kind of repetition kills the show for me.
- A complete, self-contained experience. All of the episodes have been aired, there's no sequel in the works that I have to wait for, the series has a conclusive ending, and no manga is required to be read to get the full story.

Don't suggest:

- Black Lagoon
- Jormungand
- Hellsing Ultimate

Thanks in advance.
