This had some beasty fights, particularly the last one in the benizakura arc and hosen, kagura x tall guy was immense too (I'm terrible with names hah) Other than that, from reading this thread I want to watch champloo again >> *pulls out dvd boxset* |

| I hate to sound redundant, but Sword of the Stranger has a lot of my favorite fight scenes of all time in it. |

jagleny said: Nanashi Vs. Lord Rarou in Sword Of The Stranger. Certainly this one. No contest! |
 |
| Claymore.Awesome fight scene but I can't remember which is the best. Katanagatari episode 2. Shichika Vs Uneriginkaku. episode 3 Shichika Vs konayuki |
BlackTruth said: 1. any fight with date masamune (sengoku basara) ARE YOU READY BOYS?? LOL I LOVE THAT SHOW. Any fight in sengoku basara that invovles date masamune the fight between ichigo and uliquiorra/ ichigo and grimmjow. there's something about bleach's fights that just makes me go, dude that's sick. |

| i haven't seen that many to be honest as much as i like sword fights.. but kenshin is a classic. |
| disclaimer: i don't own any of the graphics/pictures. |
| Most of the battles from katanagatari (whats more badass than a human sword) |
 |
| That is interesting question. I think Seirei no Moribito had some of the best human vs. human sword fights. It is fast paced, furious, with glimpses of genuine WTF moments. The animation quality was also incredible so it made the fights flow if that makes sense. Best sword slaughter for me would be Ninja Scroll toward the end. Jubei vs. all the generic ninja in the anime. Talk about leaving a wake of destruction in your path. I mean characters in anime have left some pretty epic level destruction, but this was 1 relatively normal swordsman vs. a small army that ended in a city literally covered in bodies and blood. Best Supernatual sword fight off the top of my head I can't think of one. |

| Well, if we're talking about CHOREOGRAPHY (and camera movements) in sword fights/action anime, then: - FFAC (cloud & sephiroth) takes the cake. But that's a full motion production, it can't really be compared to traditionally animated anime excluding that, the ones i've found to be particularly notable are: - Sword of the stranger (nanashi & rarou) - Seirei no moribito (now that i've rewatched it a bit, there are some scenes that are indeed astounding) - Samurai champloo (mugen & jin in their first encounter. mugen & the blind woman. their last fight scenes) - Naruto (sasuke & hachibi. Honestly, it takes some huge effort/budget to choreograph someone using 8 swords that well) - Bleach (Byakuya & Muramasa's master guy, before they started pulling out the supermoves/kidou. Shame this was in a filler, i pretty much gave up bleach) - Black Rock Shooter (though that's not really a sword fight. The anime itself wasn't that great anyway) - Gintama (Gintoki in benizakura arc. They sorta cheated by drawing sword trajectories instead of actually animating the sword, but gintoki's movements were still pretty well choreographed. I haven't seen gintoki & housen yet though) - some scenes in FMA. Though quite rare. Greed & Wrath put up a nice one. Things that don't have notable choreography but people insists that they have great action scenes: - the rest of naruto & bleach - rurouni kenshin (series) - one piece - sengoku basara - katanagatari - gurren lagann I may have left things out of those lists Ga Rei Zero has been noted in this thread. So i went to take a quick look through it. I only found two in ep 8 and ep 6 and it didnt really impress (though im missing a few eps). (edit) just dropping a note: supermoves are NOT good action |

| Mugen and Jins fight from Samurai Champloo. |
    |
| Pretty much anything from Sword of the Stranger, just beautiful to watch. |
| My personal favorites are... Saito vs, Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin) - an epic dojo brawl Jiguro vs. the King's Spears (Seirei no Moribito) - I know, not swords, but... awesome Mugen vs. Sara (Samurai Champloo) - speechless; there are no words the 7 Samurai vs. the Nobuseri (Samurai 7) - sorry... of all the fight scenes, I can't pick just one Okita Souji and Toshimaru Yoshida (Peacemaker Kurogane) - best hallway fight scene. That's just to name a few. |
| WOW!!!! REVIVAL OF A 3 YEARS OLD THREAD!!! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Samurai Champloo is my pick. |
| Teresa (forever the best character in the show) vs 4 claymores I recommend muting the video. Jin and Mugen vs Kariya And this one: Paul said: My all time favorite sword fighting scene. |
on 
| Biggest necro I've ever seen, impressive. Sword of the stranger final battle. Sword awesomeness basically defined. Katanagatari: Yasuri Shichika vs Emonzaemon, cant really explain considering it would be a huge spoiler. |
| kenpachi vs nnoitra (bleach) |
| sexual incest in nisomonogatari - no one bats an eye romance incest in SAO - everyone loses their minds |
How about axe battles in space? |
| Anything in Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal by far. As far as animation of the battle sequences, nothing else comes close for me. Of course, hard to call them sword fights, it's more like Kenshin just slaughtering pigs lol, except at the last bit w/Saito. |
   |
| three way fight gintoki vs jiroucho vs harusame pirates |
 |
| Hmm I don't know there's a lot of good ones, I think my picks would have to be between these: Mugen vs Jin on Samurai Champloo Alucard vs Anderson on Hellsing Ultimate Ferris vs anyone who makes the mistake of getting in her way on Legend of the Legendary Heroes Black Star vs Mifune on Soul Eater |
