Can somebody recomend me anime where main character is strong form the start,i am sick off all these anime where main character is a wimp (like naruto) and then he become strong and i have to watch milion of episodes,i want something where he is kick ass from the start to the finish and is super strong,something like chrome shelled regios,rouroni kenshin,kaze no stigma... where every episode you discovere jus how strong he is,for example i liked how in chrome shelled regios he was hiding his true strength and in an instant you realized he is the strongest, or how with kenshin every episode he showed more and more of his strength without stupid traning
p.s. sorry for my bad english
i forgot to mention i watched darker than black,death note,prince of tennis,Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu,Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari,samurai champloo,code geass,hellsing,
Depending on what type of strong main character you like, maybe Trigun or GunXSword. Though, I myself am getting sick of them not killing someone who really wouldn't change just because they are beaten. If this guy killed your family/friends/cat, fucking kill the bastard.
Sounds like you want to watch what is typically classed as a "[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]" type show.
There aren't that many that have what you want as it's very much the done thing in shounen type shows to have the underdog train/power up and defeat the seemingly unbeatable enemy - the Dragon Ball formula. Even in some of the shows you mentioned, they did power up a bit like in Rurouni Kenshin.
However, saying that, some I can think of: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - not quite your typical shounen show, but it's good. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - several mini arcs, so doesn't follow a single person all the way through, instead it follows the people who know the "Mutsu Enmei Ryuu" martial art. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - quite wordy so may not be to your liking. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - male lead going through the show killing people for revenge. Ninja Scroll - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (movie was a lot better) - similar to above.
Some shows that don't quite fit what you want, but have action/battles in them and no one really powers up: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - doesn't really follow a single character, but it has decent fights and a good story (although gets a little confusing midway). [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - more of a harem show, but the male lead is strong and there are some fights. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - sports (kendo) comedy with fights, one of the girls is strong from the start, does that count? [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - very much like Ninja Scroll mentioned above, but follows a couple who are in opposing clans rather than a single person. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - quite a lot of action and main lead, Canaan, is strong from start. However the show is mainly about the discovery of who she is. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and the sequel [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - vampire action, a little bit like Hellsing, but not as good. Both are movies. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - girls (assassins) with guns with obviously gun fights, but the show is more mystery than action. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - very much the same thing as Noir, but not quite as good. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - movie and the main protagonist doesn't power up. Has decent action throughout and a good plot.
you guys are young try the Fist of the North Star series. The average life expectancy of a big boss in combat with the main hero is a good 5-7 seconds depending on the technique the hero decides he/she should die by.
Ah yeah i forgot about shura no toki, probably because it annoyed me so much.
They were all pretty much the same damn person, the only thing that set them apart was their personality. I was actually happy when they introduced the girl as the new Mutsu, then i saw him again and knew she was a fake.
Kaze no stigma is a perfect example, he's pretty much the strongest guy there is at the very begining, and it's a pretty good series tbh.
Chrome Shelled Regios, bad ass from the start but hides it.
Rurouni Kenshin, strongest swordsman but hides it (like CSR)
If you're into sports anime then you can watch Prince of tennis
djuro900 has already mentioned that he's watched those.
Scryed very much has the typically shounen powering up theme running throughout it. Same with Prince of Tennis, which is even worse as it's a sports shounen anime that pretty much all use the underdog plot device. All the main characters train, learn new moves then beat the other player/school.

Heh, others have already mentioned Trigun too, but I was already typing up that post so couldn't be bothered to edit it out.
I don't think many people have seen Shura no Toki, but it's a fairly good show if you watch it for the fights.

Yes they are powering up, but they were already badasses to begin with
The ONLY show i can think of where the main guy is as strong in the begining as the end is Kaze no stigma.
