I've seen a fair amount of anime, most action and/or shonen. However I never really seen an anime with just really good fight scenes besides Naruto. I'm looking for something like the ninja fights. Long one on one fast battles scenes where there just doing sick moves in close hand to hand combat with weapons or fists. I wanna get pumped up, jumping in my seat from watching sick fighting. If you have any recommendations that'd be great.

The best examples I can think of are:
Rock Lee vs Gaara in Naruto
Naruto vs Sasuke in Naruto
Naruto vs Neji in Naruto
The first fight between the main guys of Samurai Champloo (I dropped it though)

again if you got any suggestions that'd be awesome ^^
Well, how about this. My "luck" versus this thing's "curse". Wanna see what's stronger..? If I lose, then I'm just that much of a man anyways.

Fate/Zero on your ptw has amazing fight scenes.

Also Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works has great scenes.

Definitely Hajime no Ippo. It will have you standing on your chair as each battle gets more and more intense.

>Good fight scenes like Naruto

Are you sure you know what good fight scenes are?

Anyway, seconding Ben-To, HnI and HxH.
I also recommend Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Sword of the Stranger, MD Geist and Gun/Diebuster (if you liked TTGL be sure to check both out).

Fight scenes were sick but everything else I just didn't like

Guess I should clarify before everyone makes suggestions like this, I'm NOT looking for anime similar to Naruto. I'm looking for good long close combat action scene anime. While the action scenes in One Piece are awesome, there is really no long lasting fast hand to hand action.

Thanks for all the other suggestions!

Seriously? The music, the character, the a-
Oh, you got SAO in your favourites... nevermind then.

And Luffy does have long-lasting mano e mano fights since you know, he basically just fights with his fists.

Other recs:
Dragonball (obvious, forget about DBZ and all the other crap and just read the original)
Shamo

lol, ya just different from my taste i guess

also ya Luffy fights with his fists and its awesome but not the action I'm looking for, like when has Luffy ever done a series of dodges, blocks, counterattacks with someone.

Because you don't think before you type?

The Holyland manga is also good.

That's funny, because you don't seem to either. The OC asked for an anime.

He misses out on a lot of good hand on hand fights if he is limiting himself, though.

Meh, Ben-to had some ok fights, but I believe the OP is looking for a more serious anime.... Something Ben-to is not.

Try watching History's Strongest Disciple: Kenichi

Busou Renkin is another one that I liked, though not sure if it goes for what you're looking for.

You should continue Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and watch Fate/Zero
You are missing such masterpiece
As a bleach fan you should continue it and skip the fillers, I'd say the animations and fight scenes are much much better than Naruto.

The last arc will eventually get animated, don't worry. From what I've heard the last bleach arc is amazing.
