Naruto Episode 133; the one where Sasuke and Naruto duke it out for the entire episode. The speed, fluidity, and hard ass hits landed are outstanding. Makes you wish the entire series had that kind of awesome animation and fight quality. Actually, that was the last good episode of Naruto.

Before that though the triple Hokage fight was also intense. I think that was episode 73 or so.

Other than that there are a lot of choices. Spike vs. Vincent from Cowboy Bebop the movie. Both the one in the sky train and the one on the tower at the end were fantastic.

Also vividly remember the fight scenes from Read or Die the OVA. Unique and fast paced with nice fluid movements and style.

Speaking of style, we can't forget Samurai Champloo. Sara vs. Mugen/Jin and Mugen/Jin vs. the Hand of God. Hell, every fight in that series was asskicking.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lets see here:

Ninja Scroll the movie had some great fights. Nearly every fight Jubei was involved with was golden. One that comes to mind was with that fat huge guy that could chuck his sword like a boomarang. He died good.

Gundam GP03 vs. Neue Zeil from Gundam 0083. Nothing like two mobile armors blowing the shit out of each other.

Brings up a good point about CG and cell animation. This was an incredible battle and it worked excelletly without the use of CG. We need to go back to this style of animation. I hate it when my favorite mecha show is clogged up with horrible looking CG animation. Only good CG animation I have ever seen that was actually believable was Howl's Moving Castle.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
