Most sakuga fight scenes are just overly flashy animation where you can barely tell what's going on.

I get that the flashiness is the point but by god, most of the time the fight choreography is way overshadowed by the flashiness.

I think the only sakuga fight scene I've seen where I didn't have to replay because of all the random BS on the screen was the 1st Levi vs. Beast titan fight in attack on titan. The choreography on that fight was just perfect.

I dunno just a pet peeve of mine, particularly the recent one piece stuff.

The way some people talk about animation it's like animators are jangling keys in front of children.

What's an example of a bad one? The good ones that I can remember all do a good job of conveying what's going on at all time.

Zoro vs S-Hawk

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, Sukuna vs Mahoraga. Hard to understand what's even happening on screen

Denji/Sharkguy vs Typhoon Devil, looked fantastic but so incredibly hard to keep up

It depends on direction . Some sakuga can feel messy . But when choreography and camera work align , it actually makes the scene more immersive rather than confusing.

You are just watching the wrong shows.

I wish One Frame Man have that animation...

Watch more anime. I agree that there's plenty of anime where the key animation is just movement for movements' sake, but there's some great choreography to be found if you look in the right places. One Piece particularly during Wano used a lot of what you are complaining about.

A few shows with more straight forward sakuga are Seirei no Moribito, Koutetsujou no Kabaneri, and Naruto.

You might like Naruto fight scenes like [Obito vs Kakashi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sw8TEYwfTc), [Naruto vs Sasuke](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi2rByJed-E), [Naruto & Sasuke vs Momoshiki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzClCJFpSoM). Naruto's fights seem more choreography based and may be what you'll like.

Dam that obito vs kakashi one is clean af. I dropped shippuden years ago, might pick it up again.

rishabnum2025-12-28 06:52

if I need to pause, rewind, and squint to understand a fight the choreography failed attack on titan proved with levi vs beast titan that clarity beats seizure-core effects meanwhile recent one piece fights feel like fireworks desperately hiding stiff animation

I highly recommend Mob Psycho 100, if you haven't watched it.
Insane fluidity mixed with bold art shifts. Fights feel emotional, not just flashy, Studio Bones at their absolute peak.

ParticularSimple8892025-12-28 07:20

no anime is as good as AOT thats why

Turbulent-Region33232025-12-28 08:33

If u want choreography, watch lazarus or first 6-7 episodes of god of high school.

There are a ton more anime. Also my opinion. Might he a hot take, but donghua has much better fight choreography than anime. I think it might be due to wuxia influences.

Yelebear2025-12-28 11:31

You are correct.

Flashing lights, bright particles, fast camera movement, yutapon cubes

NLwino2025-12-28 11:46

Watch sword of the stranger. It a movie but has great animation.

2007, damn Im getting old.

Salty1452025-12-28 14:19

No, most *bad* fight scenes are just overly flashy animation where you can barely tell what’s going on.

There is plenty of series with good fight animation and good choreography out there. You’re just apparently only watching the bad ones, which might be a consequence of getting your reference material for “good fights” from the wrong place.

Just like in Hollywood movies
60% of action movies have so many unnecessary cuts that you can't even understand them properly. You have to use your imagination in a scene where the actor struggled to learn that cool move, which is a shame and a waste
