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?

Fate/Stay Night has a lot of good sword fighting and action...but i cant think of anything else.

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.

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.

Prism Ark has some nice sword fighting scenes, and it's a newer fresh anime also ^.^

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.

Vagabond is a good one but it's a manga and doesn't have an anime

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...

Like other people have mentioned. Berserk & Claymore. Although there's not really any comedy in it. Still worth checking out though.

I agree with SAMURAI CHAMPLOO.
Maybe I should add BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL also.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Shigurui - Samurai fights.
Basilisk - Ninjas, many types of weapons used, but the fights are awesome.

Try Samurai X OVAs, that has some really good sword fighting scenes.
Maybe Bosou Renkin, this has more to do with 'weapons' then swords.

Inuyasha deals a lot with swords, but you could try others.

You might want to check out Blade of the immortal. Has some very cool actions scenes in it.
