Japan is popular to have honorable swordsmen, and they are evidently known as Samurai. Just as we’d love to explore the Japanese culture, we also tend to show more love towards Samurai anime shows.

These Samurai anime series have always been amazing at storytelling and depicting some insane action scenes. So, if you’re here looking for some of the best Samurai anime series of all time, we’ve got the perfect list waiting for you.

I love samurai anime not just because we have some cool actions (well, that’s one of the reasons), but they depict history in the most realistic way.

So, these are the Top 25 Samurai Anime that I think are really good and worth at least a single watch.

If you are likely to watch an anime specifically because it predominantly features swords, blades, katanas, scimitars, or claymores in it, then this is the list for you!

(Real swords only: i.e. no magic, virtual, or fake swords)

The Edo period (1603-1867) is a time in Japanese history characterized by economic growth, isolationist foreign policies, and popular enjoyment of arts and culture. The period derives its name from Edo (now Tokyo), where the shogunate was officially established by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Think there's an entry that should be added/removed? Let me know.

These animes are either underrated or it doesn't get enough attention it deserves.
I am also an easy watcher so most of my score will be high (7+), but these animes need to have higher rating anyway--

The list is still under construction

Anime that either has a lot of fanservice, or is classed as ecchi or erotica.
