5 Action Anime With The Best Fight Scenes

If you're in the mood for action anime that actually bring the heat, no filler, no waiting around, then these five picks deliver. We're talking sword clashes, wild power-ups, brutal martial arts, and fights where every punch matters. Whether it’s in the middle of a city or on another planet, each of these shows knows how to keep the energy high and the animation sharp.

5. One Punch Man

Overpowered, But Still Fun to Watch

Saitama ends every fight with a single punch, but the build-up fights are where the real fun is. Genos vs. Saitama, Tatsumaki flipping tanks with her mind, and Boros going toe-to-toe with Saitama across the moon, this show is never boring.

Season 1, animated by Madhouse, nails every fight sequence with speed and exaggeration that somehow makes every blow feel huge, even if the battle ends in seconds.

4. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Swordplay With Style

Tanjiro Kamado’s journey as a Demon Slayer is full of flashy sword fights, but what really sets this show apart is its animation. Every “Breathing Style” technique looks hand-painted. Whether it's Tanjiro’s Water Breathing or Zenitsu’s lightning-fast Thunderclap and Flash, each attack is a visual treat.

The Mugen Train arc shows off the series at its best with Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Rengoku vs. the Upper-Rank demon Akaza. It’s fast, emotional, and doesn’t pull any punches.

3. Mob Psycho 100

Psychic Powers With Explosive Results

Mob, a quiet middle schooler, has insane psychic powers he keeps bottled up until he hits 100% emotional overload. When that happens, it’s like watching a psychic nuke go off. From telekinetic battles to reality-warping showdowns, every fight feels different.

Fights aren’t just flashy, they’re creative. One minute, Mob is calmly dodging attacks with mental shields; the next, he's blowing through buildings without touching them. The art style is also unique, it’s rough around the edges on purpose, but the movement is so clean you won’t care.

2. Attack on Titan

Blades vs. Titans in Brutal City Battles

This one starts with giant man-eating Titans, but the real action kicks off when the Survey Corps enters the picture. Using their ODM gear (basically grappling hook jetpacks), fighters like Levi Ackerman and Mikasa slice through Titans with deadly precision.

The underground fight between Levi and Kenny’s squad in Season 3 is a standout. It’s fast, chaotic, and takes full advantage of the 3D maneuvering gear. Combine that with intense music and smooth animation, and it’s pure adrenaline.

1. Jujutsu Kaisen

Cursed Energy Meets Fluid Combat

Set in modern-day Tokyo, Jujutsu Kaisen centers around Yuji Itadori, a high schooler who swallows a cursed finger and becomes the host of Ryomen Sukuna, a deadly curse from centuries ago. The show doesn’t waste time with slow arcs and by episode 2, you’re already knee-deep in combat.

Each character has a different fighting style. Gojo Satoru’s Infinity ability makes him nearly untouchable, while Megumi Fushiguro summons shadow creatures for tactical attacks. The animation, especially during Yuji and Todo’s team fight in the Kyoto arc, is fluid and fast without cutting corners.
