View Full Version : Good swordfighting anime?
Suigintou 12-21-2007, 07:18 PM I'm looking for a good sword fighting anime OTHER THEN bleach or ruro-kenshin. I've seen and loved them both. Hopefully, there is a good balance of comedy along with the fighting. I appreciate echhi too :)
Anybody have a recommendation?
moonstorm_2000 12-21-2007, 09:27 PM Fate/Stay Night has a lot of good sword fighting and action...but i cant think of anything else.
Cataro_666 12-22-2007, 03:39 AM Claymore is all about sword fighting but theres no comedy in it but the action is quite awesome with some nice gore <:
EDIT: I forgot about samurai champloo, really nice sword fighting in that anime.
chin2529 12-22-2007, 10:21 AM what about "Samurai Deeper Kyo"
I have read its manga and it great(in my opinion). If you loved Rurouni Kenshin and like Naruto this serie is 2 in 1.
C02M0 12-24-2007, 12:11 PM Rave master for sure !
hazmat087 12-25-2007, 11:43 PM Berserk is an awesome one, but I dont think it has any comedy
ElderKain 12-25-2007, 11:52 PM Prism Ark has some nice sword fighting scenes, and it's a newer fresh anime also ^.^

kelesis 12-26-2007, 01:37 AM Samurai Champloo is probably the best sword fighting anime Ive seen. The action is fast paced and "realistic" yet the animation and attention to detail when they swing and parry is very high quality. Check it out.
darkanon 12-27-2007, 12:36 AM Fate/Stay Night and Claymore
dragoncrusher 12-27-2007, 07:52 AM samurai x. the best sword fight ever, for me :P
wakamusha 12-29-2007, 07:47 AM Vagabond is a good one but it's a manga and doesn't have an anime
Urufu 12-30-2007, 08:30 PM Samurai Champloo for sure, great soundtrack in it as well
dragonzoid2001 01-04-2008, 05:04 PM Heh, well Fate/stay night is a good one... the only one with sword fighting and comedy i can think of is samurai champloo.... most others like claymore and vagabond don't have much comedy.... Prism arc is good too...
pocepoke 01-08-2008, 01:36 AM vote for samurai champloo
krnxknight 01-08-2008, 01:42 AM vote for samurai champloo
seconded! and recommendation of ninja scroll if you don't mind older animation
vengeance 01-11-2008, 03:13 AM Double post
vengeance 01-11-2008, 03:14 AM Like other people have mentioned. Berserk & Claymore. Although there's not really any comedy in it. Still worth checking out though.
le3on9 01-12-2008, 06:31 PM rurouni kenshin
samurai champloo
claymore
Titens 01-17-2008, 12:13 AM Fate Stay Night
Rurouni Kenshin/ Samurai X
Claymore
Berserk
Bleach ¿?
Samurai Champloo
And I think that's it.
Kaishe 01-27-2008, 01:04 PM Wahhh?! Why didn't anyone say Basillisk? that anime was pretty good although all the fighting wasn't with swords it was still good
safri81 01-31-2008, 02:36 AM I agree with SAMURAI CHAMPLOO.
Maybe I should add BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL also.
kpoeira 01-31-2008, 03:39 AM samurai x. the best sword fight ever, for me :P
lol rurouni kenshin and samurai x are the same!
:snicker2::snicker2::snicker2::snicker2::snicker2:
rurushu 02-10-2008, 11:49 AM If you're finding some good swordfighting animes, then i really have to recommend you to give Karas and Claymore a try coz they're really something that you definitely wouldnt wanna miss :D
Akito 02-11-2008, 07:29 AM Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai 7 are excellent, both for plot and for the duel scenes. Fate/Stay Night is another good anime, but compared to the first 2, less focus on actual sword duels, with only a few worthwhile sword scenes. Claymore is pretty good, but the manga is much better and it is more of a swordsmen-vs- monsters anime, i.e. minimal sword duels.
BreakTheChains 02-26-2008, 07:51 PM I'd say Samurai Champloo takes this one easily. In my opinion it's one of the best animes ever. It's got great animation, comedy, action, and even the voice actors for the english dub are great. I wish more awesome animes like this would come around. Yes I'm aware of Haruhi.
macguy 02-26-2008, 08:16 PM Don't forget about Samurai 7! While it is a bit odd to see mechas the fighting is incredible to say the least but it's also sad. I 5th Samurai Champloo though as it's a must-see for any swordfighting lovers.
eriol 03-04-2008, 10:02 PM Samurai x ....
Samurai 7....
Jake Park 03-04-2008, 10:21 PM I don't know about the other anime you mentioned but I can guarantee Rurouni Kenshin hehe I've watched it so many times that my mom had banned me from watching it again..hmmm wonder why? hehehe The sword-fighting is terrific with lots of detail to the technique and the eye candy isn't bad either hehe
hyo11 07-12-2008, 03:52 AM Samurai X..
Samurai Deeper Kyo..
Fate/Stay Knight ...
avalon7 07-17-2008, 05:26 PM samurai deeper kyo , blade of the inmortal is too gore for me but then again samurai x was little too and is a legend of anime:megane:
IbRaHiM.N 07-17-2008, 09:47 PM Berserk
It's Rock :D
avalon7 07-17-2008, 11:00 PM Berserk
It's Rock :D
awesome series, still canbelieve the last episode I mean:nonono:What the heck happen after the eclipse!!
kekuleh 07-21-2008, 04:54 AM Shigurui - Samurai fights.
Basilisk - Ninjas, many types of weapons used, but the fights are awesome.
antiuniverse 07-21-2008, 11:25 PM Claymore! It's great. ;3
Hermonic 07-22-2008, 09:38 AM Fate stay Night has really good sword fighting
Hermonic 07-22-2008, 09:43 AM Fate Stay Night and Samurai X had good sword fighting
SMG666 07-28-2008, 07:23 PM Try Samurai X OVAs, that has some really good sword fighting scenes.
Maybe Bosou Renkin, this has more to do with 'weapons' then swords.
Archenix 08-03-2008, 02:47 PM Inuyasha deals a lot with swords, but you could try others.
D.Gray Man
Fate/stay Night
Full Metal Alchemist
Hunter X Hunter
InuYasha
Kyo Kara Maoh
Märchen Awakens Romance
Monochrome Factor
One Piece
Rave Master
Rurouni Kenshin
Samurai Champloo
Shakugan no Shana
Soul Eater
Tsubasa chronicles
Utawarerumono
Vampire Knight
Zero no Tsukaima

sormiow 12-06-2008, 12:07 AM Sure is Claymore and Bleach
Nugtorios 12-06-2008, 01:26 AM I think the Samurai champloo is pretty good one
dark_marc 12-07-2008, 09:42 AM Fate Stay Night would be my best recommend series :megane:
Shakugan no Shana aren't bad either
and from oldies times, no one can beat Rurouni Kenshin :megane:
Samurai Deeper Kyo and samurai x
haunter0x 09-06-2009, 06:56 AM Shigirui! or samurai 7
Mikalichou 09-08-2009, 06:32 PM Samurai Champloo, it's a must
