While Yawara was an evolutionary victory in Japan (against my following section on this list), it didn’t do as well post the country’s borders. But still, an awesome anime to check out! Yawara stars its main character, who is professionally trained to be a martial artist in Judo.

Disregard their 2018 spin-off Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou. Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou didn’t need a sequel that plainly ignored what made the first so great.
The first series seemed plausible regardless of whether its warriors have special abilities – it was like Naruto for adults.
Its most notable episode was great, setting the tone for the rest of the show: Two families fighting till the last end. Basilisk is a battle royale done correctly, with plenty of thrilling and terrible moments. You never know how each passage unfolds, and it truly is something else how influential they may be.
Seirei no Moribito, like Kurozuka, is based on a book. Clearly the main portion of Nahoko Uehashi’s book series. It’s just 26 episodes long, but it’s jam-packed with great weapons-based hand-to-hand combat.
Is there any other anime that incorporates stick combative techniques? Balsa Yonsa, with her trusty lance, is one of anime’s most outrageously scary female characters.

- IMDb Rating: 8.7
- Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 81%

Nobody could have predicted how popular Kimetsu no Yaiba would become. It catapulted visuals and generated a wave of Zenitsu, Tanjiro, and (most notably) Nezuko goods deals as 2019’s unquestioned #1 anime.
However, aside from its genuinely engaging tale and endearing cast of characters, Kimetsu no Yaiba revealed why Ufotable is still a top-tier studio: It understands how to create first-rate activity groups.
The famous series, set in Japan’s Taisho era, pits the protagonists against a horde of demons, each with their unique set of strengths and weaknesses. This programme, like Afro Samurai, enjoys sword combat. However, it also features a full set of sword-fighting skills known as breath styles – and it is an absolute visual delight.

- IMDb Rating: 8.7
- Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 84%

This boring dream has continually gone all out in terms of presentation and anxiety as one of the most scandalous anime and manga ever. Anime has always had disagreements, but few can compare to Guts and Griffith’s. This is a legendary that has yet to be fulfilled. One may argue that Guts has gotten OP and less rational.
However, the use of flip attacks, good positioning, and simply outstanding skirmish combat is critical. Please do not watch the 2016 continuation. It’s utterly awful when compared to the 1997 TV series or even the three-film collection (The Golden Age Arc). If you really need more Berserk, read the manga.
