most realistic sword fight anime?

IMO? Samurai champloo. no long drawn-out speeches, and [very little] super-powers. as well as awesome animating.

when i mean sword fighting i mean like real sword fighting, bleach is a bad example, just because there's no REAL skill involved with what I see them do..

someone once told me Jubei Chan 2... which is essentially star wars + DBZ but... lol...

Afro has some eye popping animating, but it's simply too ridiculous for me to consider a contender in terms of realism. I found myself laughing at how insane it got at some points.

It's just a stand alone movie.


Does have some of the best swords fights I've ever seen in an anime, though 'realistic might not quite with the right word for it.'

Maybe if it had one more episode to at least connect the dots between the first episode and the rest of the series.
As it is, the current "ending" of Berserk is so shitty that it literally drowns all of the enjoyment of the series into a shitty brown sea of confusion and dissatisfaction.

The manga's good, though.

Aliens :0 Think it was written by Stephen King's little less horror-centric protege.

Well the only thing that bothers me about SOTS fights is that they used their swords to block way too much. Samurai Champloo is more evasion than blocking. Realistically, they wouldn't be doing so much blocking.

However, the damage taken by their swords and their eventual breaking is evident. which helps.

Well, strictly speaking it's also unrealistic to breakdance, flip, teleport or use spiritual energy. In reality most swordfights are finished within 1-3 moves.

SotS is very embellished, to be sure, but as far as pacing and such goes, it's more realistic than...say...Kenshin, where every move is punctuated by monologues and dissertations.
