Jujutsu Kaisen is the first one I thought of. Demon Slayer has a character who is straight hands, but he’s not in it a whole lot. It’s worth watching the whole show just to watch him in the movie, IMO. Samurai Champloo has awesome sword fights.

I've seen both.. Need some hidden gems that aren't as popular

Seen. Loved It

whatever you do. no matter who comments. make sure you watch "sword of the stranger" one off movie by the studio that did my hero/fullmetal alchemist and its probably one of the best animated sword play i've ever seen.

Just checked out a few clips on youtube. Looks dope. I'll be watching this. Thanks

Shangri la frontier

You beat me to the recommendation. I came here specifically thinking that one. One of my favorite because the action is great and it doesn’t take itself too seriously but it’s also not just fluff and filler. Very well balanced, and a fun ride.
Apprehensive-Fee55722026-01-28 09:44
Awesome. Seems fun! I'll be watching

Believe it or not, Pretty Cure series have lots of that
Apprehensive-Fee55722026-01-28 09:43
Thanks for your recommendation

Kirei vs Kiritsugu is still among the best fights I have ever seen.
