Same suggestions as always

Flcl and Paranoia Agent

However, if you don't want to have to think, try Something like PaniPoni Dash, thinking is pointless in that one.

*Re-reads OP* You want something with action? Flcl should cover that, but may I also add DBZ? More pointless violence and screaming that you can shake a Shenron at.

Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.

Seriously though, Cowboy bebop is worth watching, Ruruoni Kenshin is great until you watch Samurai X which puts it to shame. Afro Samurai is pretty good if you don't mind the main character having about 3 lines of dialog every episode, being "shut up," "get outta my way" and something relevent.

Dragonball/DBZ is like the wrestling of anime, it's fun to watch, but very predictable and the story is toss away. DBZ abridged by Team FourStar is nothing short of amazing. The Tenchi Muyo stuff is pretty fun, but sometimes lacking in the action.

Really? Is no one going to say it? HELLSING! It's a wonderfully gory anime about Count DRacula fighting Nazis in modern England. If you mind the terrible English accents, it's a fantastic series that's bloody, violent, and funny. I also suggest Full Metal Alchemist(there are two series of it watch one to the end then watch the other), Tenchi Muyo, Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, and FLCL. All of these are great series and worth a look.

P.S. I don't know if I spelled any of these right.

Oh wow yeah, I don't know how I forgot about Hellsing, it's phenomenal. Which reminds me for some odd reason that Trigun is pretty good too.

Elfen Lied is not bad, and pretty short, too. 12 or 13 episodes, I think. Decent Story, very emotional.
And why the hell didn't you watch Dragonball yet?! 80% of all Anime series from the 90s on rip it off.

Edit: Matrix: Revolutions does that as well.
Not bad is a biggest understatement to discribe Elfen lied. Bloody amazing comes to mind when i think of Elfen lied (my favourite anime ever) and i throughly recommend it if you don't mind sexual themes, volence & gore and nudity (hell..watch it anyway).

I also recommend Trigun, Love hina, paranoia agent, death note and Hellsing

Well... Digimon Frontier isn't looking brilliant. I'm 5 episodes in and already despising 3 out of 5 main characters. 5 out of 7 including Digimon, and unless it improves I'll just watch the final 3, and call it a day.

But the main point here is that I am a person, who has not alot of experience in watching Anime. I have only watched ALOT of Pokemon, I stopped watching it around 2005, and I have seen All Digimon up to Frontier (Not finished, might never be), and I watched all of Medabots a loooooooong time ago, so what Anime shows could you recommend for me? I'm mainly looking for something with action so it would keep me interested, though if there isn't I at least want one where the story and characters are at least likable. I would prefer Dubs, but will settle on subtitles.

Any suggestions?
A lot of it depends on age range. If you can handle it, Black Lagoon is VERY action heavy with fairly sophisticated characters and a likable cast. It also has a great English dub so no worries there. The only problem with it is that it is ludicrously violent and has a huge amount of curing. That said, is one of the best action series I have ever seen, but only watch it if you can handle the blood, language, and mature themes.

Some other really good ones with a more mature audience are Ergo Proxy, Blood +, Ghost in the Shell, Hellsing, Trinity Blood, Blassreiter, or even Elfen Lied if you can handle the gore and nudity.

On the lighter side of things, Full Metal Panic is a great choice for a action series with a little less hardcore violence. It has one of the best English dubs I have ever heard and is well worth a look if you want an action series with a little less seriousness.

All of the ones I listed have good to great english dubs and should be appropriate for anyone 15+, with Hellsing, Elfen Lied, Black Lagoon, and Blassreiter getting 17+.

I would say that YuGiOh GX is actually hilarious. They often take the piss out of the show. I remember the second episode, Sirus says to Jaden "Think we were somehow connected to each other in some ancient life? Do you Jaden? You know, like you were an egyptian pharoah and I was the guardian, Seto?" To which Jaden responds "No offence, but that's just lame."

And that's why it's the best spin-off show ever. Because in the second episode it already calls the entire plot of the original show lame. It's brilliant.

And that's only ONE EPISODE of hilarity

I'm going to go with The Irresponsible Captain Tylor. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vTjNEZ3kcE]

It's funny, it's got a decent story, there are some good action sequences and it has awesome memorable characters. I'm just sad because it usually seems like I'm the only person who's ever heard of it!

The only problem I see according to your wish-list is that it's definitely a show to watch subtitled. The English voice-actors are awful!

[HEADING=1]AWFUL.[/HEADING]

EDIT:
First Episode. Go watch! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRZUXoXkJz4]

I would recommend Death Note. Probably not as much action as you want but god damn it's good and always interesting. Very good dub too.

Full Metal Alchemist is the other option. Lots of action and a fantastic story and dub to boot.

Go to funimation.com, it has boatloads, nay, YACHTLOADS of anime.

I have to recommend Phantom: Requiem for the phantom. It involves a tourist being kidnapped, brainwashed, and turned into an assassin. Good times all around.

Just as A Notice to those asking, I don't care about age barriers. Just as long as it's not some Yaoi, or just blood all over the place.
