When I come across the word 'seinen', Berserk automatically comes to mind. Berserk by Kentaro Miura is my most favorite seinen out there. I've watched the anime and though the anime only covered a few volumes of the manga (not completed yet), it's still close to perfection. I watched the anime first then I got interested in the manga when I learned that the not even half of the story was covered by the anime. The series tells the story in flashback and what made the anime so amazing is the hero itself. Guts is a pretty strong hero and his character development was good and I'm sure a lot of you would like this anime because of him. Have you heard of this anime? What's your favorite seinen manga turned into anime??

Unfortunately, I'm not a giant fan of that particular genre so I don't really follow a lot of series. But the first thing that does come to mind when 'seinen' is mentioned is Beserk, like you said. I remember watching the series ages ago and thinking that it was a gory piece of work. That was during my early days of anime/manga exposure so I was somewhat shocked by the blood and gore. I have to admit that the story was intriguing though and that led me to reading the manga for it which I think is a lot better than the anime by far. Another series that comes to mind is Black Lagoon and Gantz. I know there was a Gantz anime that came out some years back but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. For Black Lagoon, I haven't read much of the manga but I've seen the anime. It's actually really good, with lots of action.

Black Lagoon is about a group of pirates (mercenaries) who call themselves the Lagoon Company. They smuggle goods in the Southeast Asia area. It's just about them going around and doing business with all these various groups while getting into situations that usually some type of battle (mostly gunfights). There's two seasons for the anime, Black Lagoon and Black Lagoon: Second Barrage. It's worth checking out.
