I do this Interest Stack for those like me like samurai fights, wars and that show a little of japan history and the different periods covered in each anime, this list was also based on the animes that I watched, there are other works of this genre but I haven't seen them yet I cannot recommend them here.

Large scale battles and strategy war anime.

This only includes historical anime.

The ranking is made around the quality and occurence of large scale battles throughout the show, as well as geopolitics leading to those battles

It is of course going to be updated as I watch more shows on the subject.


The potential next items in the list might be:
- Beyond the heavens
- sengoku basara


I haven't checked them yet so not sure about it at all

I created this interest stack to show you some of the gems that are hidden here, it's not always easy to find these animes or get a recommendation to watch some of them, I hope you like them as much as I do, thank you for those who read this far and good anime.

Imagine you've just watched "Harakiri", or perhaps "Yojimbo", and now you're thinking to yourself: "I wonder how Samurai Cinema would translate into anime" - Next you're scrolling the anime database, and you've searched for anime with the theme "Samurai", only to be met with entries containing people spitting fireballs, and giant robots shooting lasers.

If this is something you've experienced, then this interest stack is for you. I've scoured every entry (as of October 2023) listed under the theme "Samurai", as well as tried to find others not listed there, to fit the following more narrow definition:

"Swordfighting anime set in historical Japan with a realistic setting."

Some anachronism is okay, but futurism like mechas and RPG launchers are excluded. Trying to keep supernatural elements at a minimal. Allowed to a certain extent, but trying to avoid full on superpowers. This list contains no sequels, one entry per franchise only.

Anime might be excluded for other reasons, such as not adhering enough to the style. Also skipping a lot of <~10 minute shorts. Some (most) of the anime I haven't yet seen, so there's a possibility an anime that should've been excluded has slipped by into the list.

PS. "Lone Wolf and Cub" + "Vagabond" anime when??

As the title says, these are anime series that have been overlooked and forgotten through time, but are nonetheless good watches, they just aren't popular enough. I also gave my personal opinion for every anime in this compilation.

This stack will include historical anime that have their basis in actual history, including real life events and people.

Read notes for comments on history, accuracy, framing etc.

Will include first seasons only.
