Here's a bunch of goodies lacking love, many of which are obscure, others just underappreciated. Almost all of them lean more towards being lighthearted, cute and silly. (Not necessarily all at once.) Lots of adventure, too! Keep in mind that they're not all "must-see", but this should still be a great source for finding something new and enjoyable.

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)

Animax was the Latin American affiliate of Sony Entertainment Television's youth channel.

Animax's headquarters are located in the Minato district of Tokyo, where it began broadcasting on June 1, 1998. The signal for Latin America was launched on July 31, 2005, replacing the avant-garde channel Locomotion. Its offices were located in Caracas, Venezuela, where those of its sister channels Sony Entertainment Television and AXN, belonging to Sony Pictures Television International, are also located.

Like the other subsidiaries around the world where it is available, it broadcast anime series, and since May 2008 it began broadcasting live-action series and movies distributed by Sony Pictures.

On May 3, 2010, the channel was renewed with a new logo and graphics. From May 1, 2011 it became the currently defunct Sony Spin, disappearing as a television channel.

Watch "Sword of the Stranger" (Stranger: Mukou Hadan) if you do not watch anything else.

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.

Animax Latin America was the affiliate for that region of the youth channel of Sony Entertainment Television. The signal for Latin America was launched on July 31, 2005, replacing the adult animation channel Locomotion. Like the other subsidiaries around the world where it is available, it broadcast anime series, and since May 2008 it began with the broadcast of live action series and movies distributed by Sony Pictures.

On May 3, 2010, the channel is renewed by premiering a new logo and graphics. Since May 1, 2011, it was renamed Sony Spin, disappearing as a television channel.

Personally, a channel that brings back beautiful memories of my childhood and that, several series broadcast by Animax, give me a nostalgic feeling for an anime that currently no longer exists.

Imagine you've just watched "Harakiri", or perhaps "Yojimbo", and now you're thinking to yourself: "I wonder how Samurai Cinema would translate into anime" - Next you're scrolling the anime database, and you've searched for anime with the theme "Samurai", only to be met with entries containing people spitting fireballs, and giant robots shooting lasers.

If this is something you've experienced, then this interest stack is for you. I've scoured every entry (as of October 2024) listed under the theme "Samurai", as well as tried to find others not listed there, to fit the following more narrow definition:

"Swordfighting anime set in historical Japan with a realistic setting."

Some anachronism is okay, but futurism like mechas and RPG launchers are excluded. Trying to keep supernatural elements at a minimal. Allowed to a certain extent, but trying to avoid full on superpowers. This list contains no sequels, one entry per franchise only.

Anime might be excluded for other reasons, such as not adhering enough to the style. Also skipping a lot of <~10 minute shorts. Some (most) of the anime I haven't yet seen, so there's a possibility an anime that should've been excluded has slipped by into the list.

PS. "Lone Wolf and Cub" + "Vagabond" anime when??

At least one main female character is physically strong, preferably the protagonist.

Physical strength applies both to hand-to-hand combat and proficiency in wielding weaponry (marksmanship, swordsmanship, archery etc.) as well as ability and talent in a physical sport.

No magical/supernatural power allowed unless it enhances physical strength.

Animaze was a company that was formed in 1992 by Kevin Seymour and was in-work up until about 2008 following a closure in 2010 after Seymour had passed away. Animaze, outside of anime, has also dubbed many video games! Regardless, as follows are the anime that Animaze have dubbed! Hokuto no Ken and Super Dimension Century Orguss are excluded because they did not dub the full show!

For some odd reason Animaze decided to dub Orguss 02 instead of finishing the orginal show.

Akitaro Daichi is a Japanese anime director, producer and photography director.

In 1994, he attracted attention for his storyboard work on Akazukin Chacha, and in 1995 he made his debut as a series director on Nurse Angel Ririka SOS.
