| What anime sticks out when you think of the most fluid, top-notch, and close to crystal clear perfect animated fights? |
Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack has some really well done fight sequences, though the film isn't very good when you take that away |
| I know this is going to be a predictable answer but one of my favorite anime fights of all time will always be Chun Li vs. Vega in the English Dub of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. This was a fight that was incredibly evenly matched with both fighters literally beaten, bruised, and bloody by the end of it. The reason why I suggested the English Dub over the Subtitled version is that in the English Dubbing they use the song Ultra by KMFDM as the background song as the fight is taking place. That is just an awesome song to have playing in the background while an awesome fight is taking place. Vega also has a great quote as he is taunting and cutting up chun li with his claw. "My hobby is to slowly peel the skin off the rabbits I catch, especially cute little bunnies like you and my friend here is rather thirsty for blood." |

| inb4 the final Stranger fight&some Madoka/Fate fights I think Naruto fights are generally underestimated. Gintama° has a cool one but I dont think its the best animated fight ever, it gains much from the context. |

 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Sword of the Stranger has some extremely well done fight scenes. Katanagatari has some cool ones aswell. |
| :) |
| Fate/Zero is the first thing that comes to mind |
| So far I've seen Fate/Zero and also Fate/Stay night... The animation is just... TOP-TIER... With Impact.. QUALITY!! The Fighting Sequences are so unique. and even had a good cinematography.. And here I am waiting for the releasing of Heaven's feel Part 1 to get Adapted.. The Longest route in the VN |

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| technically if we loosen up the definiton of fight, girls und panzer movie, man those tank fights ttgl final fight and kill la kill |
| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| Fate/Zero/Stay night/Kaleid, fullmetal alchemist, sword of the stranger, sword art online, rurouni kenshin and way more, i guess.. |
| The fights in Soul Eater. The camera work and choreography are great. |
| Best fights? The entire fate series made by ufotable. Kara no Kyoukai (also by ufotable) Sword of the Stranger. Hunter x Hunter 2011. Some Naruto and Shippuden fights. Girls und Panzer (physics defying exciting tank battles). |
 |
| mob psycho 100 has mind blowing fight scenes |
| Besides the obligatory Fate, and Sword of the Stranger answers. I gotta say Cowboy Bebop:The Movie, the fights between Spike and Vincent were incredible. Also I have to mention One Punch Man for the Saitama vs Boros fight, that was so lit and the fact the OP played in the middle of it made it even more hype. |

| one punch man has amazing fights i think youll like them. others are mob pyscho 100 ,naruto ,all fights in fmab with king bradly in it this dude makes all fights amazing. |
| if we're talking about "Best Animated Fight" then its hands down Fate/Zero or UBW but "Best Fight", it depends i guess, Gun fight? mahou shoujo madoca magika, Homura vs Mami samura fight? gintama, samurai champloo |
| Oh that's easy. Serei no Moribito. I'd say Pokemon XYZ has one as well. |

| Basically anything ufotable Kara no Kyoukai Fate/Zero Fate/stay night: UBW |
| The anime that come to my mind when you say "great fights", in rough descending order: • Sword of the Stranger • Mob Psycho 100 • One Punch Man • Heartcatch Precure! • Hunter x Hunter (2011) • Naruto/Shippuuden Notably, I haven't seen any Fate works or Madoka, which tend to get mentioned a lot in topics like this. Edit: Also, although I list them in the order I do, my current favorite fight in the medium definitely comes from Heartcatch Precure!, specifically the final confrontation with Dune. Others favorites include the final Sword of the Stranger fight, Gon vs Hisoka, and Naruto vs Pain. |

| The newer Gintama shows has some good ones but they're very short fights. Stuff by ufotable, of course. I think some FMAB fights were well done too. Samurai Champloo |
 |
| HXH remains unchallenged. |
 |
| Sword of the Stranger ´¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ |
 |
| The Fate fights are mediocre as hell, can't believe people are head over heels for them just because the studio decides to throw every damn digital effects that they have on the screen all at the same time. None of them are interesting or have great choreography either (something which even Naroodoe is better at). As for my pick, I would say the EoE/Rebuild ones for doing a great job of capturing the intensity of the battles. |
| watch Redline Sword of the Stranger Aachi wa Ssipak if you do not mind 3DCG then Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete Saint Seiya Legend of Sanctuary Tekken Blood Vengeance |
| Kara no Kyoukai was no slouch in that department. Neither were the action scenes in Jin Rou. I was also impressed with the short fight sequence in Run, Melos, artwork especially. |
| OreImo Tat exchange just couldn't get anymore exciting than any of the shit you guys have... |
| Obligatory Katanagatari response. I mean, the battle against Sabi Hakuhei has one of the best sakugas I have ever watched in my miserable life. The fights of Araragi vs the vampire hunters in Kizumonogatari II were also spectacular. Shaft can do marvelous battles when they want. Also, even if it's not really an action anime, the fight of Taiga against the president of the student council in Toradora looked really good. I'm surprised they animated that scene that well for a romcom. |

| Snk : i love the animation during Snk fights |
 |
| I would have used to say Sword of the Stranger and Cowboy Bebop but now I'll have to go with Mob Psycho 100. The animation in that show blew me away. Even better than OPM fights. The industry really went all-out on these two shows. Now there are other fights where I find the choreography more impressive or love the use of tactics and brains, but simply talking about animation quality there isn't much that can be mentioned alongside those shows I mentioned without falling short. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
yes this, it's such a shame they didn't have enough people to work on the animation for season 2. :( Japan has some messed up economics for the anime industry. |
| I don't think Fate fights are that good either, the visual effects are gorgeous definitely, but the fights themselves aren't that good. But without including movies and OVAs, best fights I've seen are from Naruto, Hunter x Hunter and maybe even Gintama |
| Obviously there's your Fate series fights - Zero and UBW were always going to be top-notch, animated by ufotable, but as someone above said the Prisma Ilya series were also surprisingly good. I especially remember the first season of 2wei tiding me over nicely while I waited for UBW to come out. As far as the actual fights themselves, they really made the first one of each series (Saber and Lancer for Zero, and Lancer and Archer for UBW) stand out, as they should do for our first look at the action in a, you know, action series. I actually prefer UBW as far as animation goes, just because they better portray the superhuman speed and power that the Servants are supposed to have. Someone mentioned Katanagatari, and I agree... sort of. The fight with Sabi Hakuhei, is, okay, really well done. But a lot of the other fights are less focused on action and more focused on the conversation being had at the same time. That's not to say the action isn't good - it is - but it's not the focus, and that does show through at times. (It's a Nisio Isin thing - the Monogatari series has the same style.) The last one I'll mention is Homura vs. Mami in Madoka Rebellion. It's the Matrix and Equilibrium, done by magical girls inside a timestop in a Gothic cityscape to a Yuki Kajiura soundtrack. We'd been waiting for the entire series for these two to cut loose, and holy crap did this movie deliver. One of my favourites. |

yup snk fights animation is awsome and they are well done the manavur gear fights are all awsome season 2 still keeping up the quality |
| My answers will be very expected but hey it's true. Fate series, of course (F/Z and UBW) One Punch man and MP100, and Gintama's definitely in there too, latest arc sparked some criticism but overall fight scenes are very well animated in Gintama. Samurai Champloo was great as well. Can I also give a special shoutout to the pool cue fight scene in Death Parade? That was great lol |
| Gotta be the Fate series, am I right? |
| Maybe I don't see enough action anime, but i liked the fights in Black Bullet... Noragami had some really cool fights and Mami vs Homura in Rebelilion was absolutely perfect |
| All these plebs, SMFH *sighs* here's the best fight. who care about animation when you have gintama toilet fight? |

TheUnknownPC said: Hunter X Hunter 2011 comes to mind, anything animated by based Madhouse is god tier. Does that include Mahou Sensou??? That show was a bit off the norm |
 |
| One of my favorites is Shirou vs. Gilgamesh or Lancer vs. Archer. |
| pretty much anything animated by madhouse. |
 |
| Fate/Zero and UBW Mob Psycho 100 Sword of the Stranger Madoka Magica and Bungou Stray Dogs (also this if you like supernatural abilities fights too) have the best gun fight |
 |
| when u talks about animation u talk about ufotable studio ,however anime with good fight are : 1-Naruto Shippuuden 2-Naruto 3-Hunter X Hunter (2011) 4-Bleach 5-One piece(Urusus Shock !!!...so epic) 6-Fate series 7-Sword of stranger 8-Noblesse(OVA) 9-Bungou stray dogs 10-One punch man |

| I see that a lot of people mentioned the Fate series. Archer vs. Lancer is also one of my favorites. |
