- 16 titles
- StarsRikiya KoyamaKôhei KiyasuSteve StaleyIppo, a teenage boy with a pure heart and unrelenting determination, discovers a passion for boxing after veteran fighter Takamura saves him from bullies.(NEW SEASON OUT NOW!) Great fun, has some really hilarious moments in this show. The characters are a good laugh, they have heart. However whilst being comical, there is a serious side and the fighting is great. HEARRRRRT BREAK SHOT-OOOOOOO (You'll understand once you've watched the anime...)
Notes: There are 5 parts to this all together. Firstly watch:
1) Hajime No Ippo - Fighting Spirit (76 episodes)
2) Hajime No Ippo - Champion Road TV Special (1 episode)
3) Hajime No Ippo - M....... vs K..... OVA (1 episode)
4) Hajime No Ippo - New Challenger (24 episodes)
5) Hajime No Ippo - Rising (25 episodes) - StarsBob CarterMasami KikuchiRobert McCollumBaki Hanma competes in an underground fighting tournament organized by Tokugawa. Masters of various fighting styles come from all over the world in order to determine who is the strongest fighter on Earth."If someone is born a male, at least once in his life, he'll dream of becoming the strongest man alive."
Highly underrated Martial Arts anime. Has immense fighting scenes, this really is pure fighting and has the most I've seen in any anime, and they only get better.
Notes: 48 episodes - CreatorKentaro MiuraStarsMarc DiraisonNobutoshi CannaCarrie KeranenGuts, a wandering mercenary, joins the Band of the Hawk after being defeated in a duel by Griffith, the group's leader and founder. Together, they dominate every battle, but something menacing lurks in the shadows.Set in medieval times following the journey of a band of mercenaries who are lead by an unusual but gifted leader. It has a real human element to it which makes you feel for the characters, I want to say more but I fear I may spoil it, well, one more detail, it is rather dark.
Notes: 24 Episodes
OVA: 3 episodes - StarsDavid VincentMatthew MercerDaisuke OnoThe story of the Joestar family, who are possessed with intense psychic strength, and the adventures each member encounters throughout their lives.Colourful, fun, some great action and characters with plenty of charm and wit. And the intro song...damn! It's called a 'bizarre' adventure for a reason but you won't be disappointed 8)~ aka "JoJo's Bizarre adventure"
Notes: 26 episodes.
Second season "Stardust crusaders" out now 8) - DirectorYoshiaki KawajiriStarsKôichi YamaderaEmi ShinoharaTakeshi AonoA vagabond swordsman is aided by a kunoichi and a spy in battling a demonic clan of killers - led by a ghost from his past - who are bent on overthrowing the Tokugawa Shogunate.This is a very graphic anime but for its age it still looks brilliant today. Mysterious, intriguing and a thrill to watch. I love animes where each character has unique abilities and you wonder how they are going to deal with each other. In this movie, you won't know what to expect! Awesome fighting, good story, good characters.
- CreatorKohta HiranoStarsKatie GrayCrispin FreemanVictoria HarwoodThe vampire Alucard, his master Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, and his newly sired ward Seras Victoria, try to protect England from a war-crazed SS-Major who seeks to start an eternal war with his vampire army.Madness! Crisp and stylish animation, very entertaining violence with some rather funny dialogue. The characters are also all insane, but have insane abilities, which helps.
Notes: 10 OVA Episodes
There are older episodes, but the OVA is just a better looking remake so I'd just watch the newer episodes. - DirectorsYoshiaki KawajiriTakuji EndoHiroshi HamasakiStarsAlistair AbellDebi Mae WestNolan NorthHighlander Colin MacLeod must choose between confronting the immortal who killed his lover centuries ago, or saving the survivors of a ravaged New York City."There can only be ONE"
The Highlander films could of been so much better, this anime does justice to the story of Highlander, this is how it should have been done! In 90% of animes the English voice acting is so terrible it's like watching a different anime, but here it's great. Just like the story, just like the fighting. This is vengeance! - StarsJessie James GrelleBryce PapenbrookTrina NishimuraAfter his hometown is destroyed, young Eren Jaeger vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.Aka "Attack on Titan." This is a very entertaining anime with plenty of action and crisp animation, the characters hold your attention, but it's a harsh story, full of struggle, hopefully you'll enjoy it :)
Notes: 25 episodes so far (as of Oct 29 2013) roughly 22 mins each. - StarsMasakazu MoritaJun FukuyamaRie KugimiyaIn ancient China, a young boy dreams of becoming the greatest general of the Qin Kingdom.Great anime set in China and it's all about war, tactics, deception and all the other wonderful things war brings. The art style is a little different but they revert to the normal anime style in season 2 and it definitely gets better as it goes on, trust me!

Season 1: 38 episodes
Season 2: 40 episodes - StarsLaura BaileyNana MizukiKôsuke ToriumiIn 1614, two rival ninja clans back opposing sons of Hidetada Tokugawa for the shogunate. They send their finest warriors to battle to the death, with the victor's clan ruling for a millennium.More crazy ninja's doing what they do best, being crazy. Story about two warring Ninja clans (Iga & Kouga), that's all you need to know, enjoy! :)
Notes: 24 Episodes - StarsDaisuke NamikawaEmi ShinoharaSeizô KatôThe series starts off at a tournament where a one armed samurai faces a blind one and quickly flashes back to reveal the history between the two fighters.This is a very graphic anime and not just the fighting o.0 You may find this a bit distasteful (if you thought Ninja scroll had a messed up scene...), however the sword fighting scenes are brilliant, and the characters even though extremely twisted, are interesting. It's a tense anime. But it does lack action, however I feel the story makes up for it.
Notes: 12 Episodes - DirectorYukio NishimotoStarsJames Carter CathcartMarc DiraisonMasakatsu FunakiHigh school student Kiichi is on the fast track to martial arts super-stardom. An expert in the deadly Nanshin Shadow Style, he faces the challenge of his life: the long-awaited grudge match with his father's arch-nemesis, the champion of World Pro-Wrestling! Fists fly and blood spills as a new breed of fighter takes to the ring!Whilst it's a short anime (3 episodes 40+~min) I found it to be an entertaining watch and whilst it has brutal fighting scenes it has nice elements to it.
- CreatorHiroya OkuStarsHiroshi KamiyaJohn SwaseyDaisuke NamikawaAfter their deaths, two teens are transported to an apartment with an ominous black sphere and must participate in a gory alien-hunting "game."An odd show, deplorable and likeable characters, weird circumstances, bit slow paced but some good action scenes, get a good feel in the first episode, but a good watch overall.
- DirectorsVictor CookMike DisaSangjin KimStarsGraham McTavishVanessa BranchSteve BlumDante journeys through the nine circles of Hell -- limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery -- in search of his true love, Beatrice.If you're a fan of mindless violence like me, then check this out! I'm running out of things to say o.O
- StarsBrad SwaileJanyse JaudKelly SheridanThe series begins in 12th century Japan and centers on Kuro, a character based loosely on the legendary Japanese swordsman Minamoto no Yoshitsune.http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/kurozuka-episode-1-english-dubbed-online-free
