I love fights in anime! What are your all-time favorite fight scenes? I think the best of all would have to be Yusuke vs. Togoro in Yu Yu Hakusho. I was waiting sooo long for this beatdown and we got it...in spades! I was definitely glad to have a front row seat for this one.

Tsukikage Ran has some of the best animated fight scenes around. The fights themselves are not what I'd call epic, but a lot of detail was drawn into the animation make them of the highest quality.

Spike vs Vicious

Alucard vs Alexander

two of my fav fights

Kenshin vs. Saitou in the Kyoto Arc of Rurouni Kenshin. I swear, the frame rate in that scene is amaaaazing. XD

That entire ending is fantastic as it looked like Kenshin was done in but managed to make a come back.

Spike vs. Vicious
Rock Lee vs. Gaara (From what I've seen in Naruto)
Edward Elric vs. Greed

oh forgot when Vaan goes berserk in Escaflowne that seen rocked XD

Pfffft like you can count frames per second =p unless it's obviously less than 24.

Hamtaro versus the Evil Ham Wizard (played by Boss). The special effect at the end of the battle was just awesome. ^__^

Well, no, I can't count them. XD But....the animation is soooo smooth and fast and it's wonderful! XD

::thwaps repeatidly upside the head with Izzy's green socks:: AGAIN WITH THE HAMTARO!!!

Anyway, IMHO, the best anime fight scene is the one that ends in under 3 episodes...

::Glares at Dragonball/Z/GT with contempt::

But I digress, my favorite anime battle scene has to be the final Spike/Vicious battle on Cowboy Bebop! The music and everything rocks!

definitely the spike vs viscious fight. that scene was extremely well-done.
spike vs vincent was also pretty crazy.
naruto vs sasuke (second time)
yusuke vs younger togoro
goku vs majin vegata (gotta admit. that was pretty good. though quite time consuming.)

Well, I can think of a number of fight scenes that are dramatic and well-developed in that sense. A shonen writer basically has to be able to create those to be successful. But as far as scenes that had good choreography (one of my biggest pet peeves in anime is when there is none whatosever) and good animation, many fewer come to mind. The fight between Jin and Mugen in the first episode of Samurai Champloo qualifies, as do some of the later fights. No equivalents are coming to mind right now.

Cowboy Bebop has some good ones, so doe's Fooly Cooly.

I'd say the roof top fight scene in the final episodes of Noir was pretty incredible.

Samurai Champloo did have some pretty impressive choreography. I liked the Mugen vs. Sara fight.

Noein fight scenes, Karasu vs. Atori and later Karasu vs. ThatOneOtherGuy...

i liked samurai champloo's jin vs sara (though it didn't last very long) and also liked mugen and jin's fight in the first episode as well.

I forgot the Kambei and Kyuzo in episode 4 of Samurai 7.

Just about every fight in FLCL...

Goku and Vegeta vs. Janenba, and later Veku vs. Janenba (I know it's DBZ, but the fights in the movies were so much better than the series... they were so much shorter!!)

Vash vs. Knives

Naruto vs. Sasuke - "Round 2"

Rock Lee vs. Gaara

"Drunken Master" Lee vs. Kimimaro

...and that's all I can think of for the time being.

Noir,so far every episode I have seen includes at least one scene where they're
fighting for their lives.

How can i forget the awesome fight between Sepiroth and Cloud in Advent Children. such an awesome moment.

yes. yes! how could i forget this. that was definitely a noteworthy fight that did not disappoint me. the music, the graphics, the voices, they were all there. very well-done. VERY well-done.

Ichigo vs. Byakuya

i dont have a specific battle but s-CRY-ed has a ton of good battles in it.

Luffy versus Blueno. It's like Toei was saving everything for this fight, and they managed to pull it off quite well (makes me hopeful for a certain upcoming fight).

I agree. Especially the final one. I actually don't mind not knowing how it ended, because my imagination can finish that fight for me. (And I think Kazuma won, actually. That is his hand we see at the end.)

Episode ten (broadcast order) of Suzumiya Haruhi. (Saying who fights whom would be a major spoiler.)

Kenshiro vs Raoh the last battle. *Very, very violent*

I can't remember seeing a better anime composed ending to such a series, so many areas that connected to eachother, even though Raoh was pretty brutal I diden't want either of them to die. Some tears I tell you.

Do Tennis matches count?
Ryoma Echizen vs Jin Akutsu
Ryoma Echizen vs Tezuka Kunimitsu
Tezuka Kunimitsu vs Atobe Keigo
Inui Sadaharu vs Renji Yanagi
