Something which has lots of sword fights.

[Diablo]

I want some Anime which has lots of sword fights. Please avoid comedies, but it's okay if it's got a very good storyline.

Theses are some of sword fighting Animes I've seen so far:

Rurouni Kenshin

Inuyasha

Samurai Champloo

Afro Samurai

Claymore

[lemmingllama]

Bleach would make ssense. And i think that Blade of the Immortal is also a swordy one.

I've also watched some of them, it's nice to see a fellow fan of one of the most epic samurai series known as Afro Samurai.

Sorry I'll include a picture next time but this should sort of give you an idea of what the series is about and research some more on it.

along with magic , Fate Stay Night has a decent amount of sword fights. Bleach and Claymore for sure have plenty.

[Diablo]

@Dan Den Huge list there, Dan. I'll be sure to check out some of them especially the mecha ones.

@lemmingllama I didn't like Bleach very much, stopped watching after the Bount Arc.

@Reptoholic I think I've downloaded Fate Stay Night, I'll start watching it.

Thanks to everyone.

[Dan Den]

I didn't like Bleach very much, stopped watching after the Bount Arc.

You should try watching the episodes after the Bount arc, allot of people say it was shit even though I enjoyed it but that me. But you should try giving it another chance cause after the Bount arc things got better and better. Just check it out a bit and if you still don't like it then oh well guess not every one can like Bleach.

Good thing I guess. Nothing after the Bount arc was worth much more than just a waste a time. There are a few note worthy fights but most of them were tame especially the conclusion to Aizen. The series is plagued by a terrible writer who cares nothing about the series itself and only of his own pocketbook. He creates new plotholes with every turn of a page. The Bount arc may be filler but it's better than 98% of the canon that has followed it.

One that you might want to look into that is a nice little movie is...

The story is set in the Sengoku period. A rounin called Nanashi (meaning 'nameless') saves a young boy Kotarou at an abandoned temple. Kotarou has no family, is pursued by a mysterious militia organization from China and hires Nanashi as his bodyguard.

Also one that doesn't have a bunch of sword fight, but some and has a pretty good storyline throughout...
