| ..... that description fits like 80% of the fighting anime xD ah well : Hellsing Naruto Bleach One piece Psyren etc |
 |
| Hellsing Hellsing Ultimate Kara no kyoukai |
| the following is worth looking into: Rurouni Kenshin Baccano! Blood+ Sword of the Stranger Cowboy Bebop Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Lupin III(if you don't mind waaay old school) ...most of these series have strong characters that don't pull their unexplainable overpowering powers out of their asses at the very last minute to beat an enemy |
| I'm not sure I understand this, do you want a series with a protagonist that's not overpowered, or one that does not require powerups? Hellsing Ultimate probably is the best choice for a overpowered protagonists that doesn't need powerups. And whenever the next episode comes, we'll truly see Alucard's full powers at last. Another option is MD Geist. Cheap but entertaining, and with a brutal protagonist. Hokuto no Ken also has no real powerups to speak of, Kenshiro just rip to pieces anything that he doesn't like. |
| Seconding Hokuto no Ken |
| Every Shounen |
| Im not sure they understand you want an anime WITHOUT a char who is overpowered.. how could you even take hellsing as a serious rec? |
| Yeah I'd say Rurouni Kenshin as well. Kenshin is strong, but his wins don't come from random powerups, just skill, strategy, and quick thinking. And he's definitely not the strongest in the series. Well Scrypt has some great recommendations. I've seen all of them but Blood+ but I co-sign the rest. |
| To Aru Majutsu no Index. The main lead Touma is in fact the weakest character in the show, but his right hand protects him from offensive magic attacks. He does get hurt quite often and he never levels up either, he wins from quick thinking. |
| Tetsuwan Birdy Decode, its a bit odd, but good and not nearly as ecchi as its premise would make it seem. Also, you might consider some of the sports series. They're a bit better about making their hero's work for it. |
| Well you can watch Claymore and Kaze No Stigma (There isn't many fighting but the main character doesn't lose his sence...except in one episode :-D ) In Tenjou Tenge there is a lot of fighting but...That is right the opposite of what you want :D |
| There will allways be someone better than you, but that doesn't mean that you will defenetly lose to him! |
| Well since it hasn't already been suggested , you should definitely watch Berserk. The main character isn't powering up in the midst of battle from some random resolution, trains for his "skills", and has also plausible romance in it without the schooly-type outbursts. In fact i would say romance and the struggle are very well intertwined going from a mature ground-start. |
