Best Anime Action Films of All Time
Since Shonen Jump features the best battle shonens which in turn have the best fights and fight scenes, it’s no wonder that the best and most popular anime action films are from the battle Shonen genre. We have here below the best action films that are saturated with jaw-dropping action and fight scenes.
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
This is the latest among anime action films that caught our attention. Pierrot went all out in the action animation in this film and you wouldn’t think that such quality sakuga would come out of Black Clover. The movie also shined in the versatility of action shown- from fist brawling to mages using magic and finally, sword fighting between Asta and the main antagonist. The sheer joy of seeing all the strongest characters in Black Clover go all out is unreal.
Demon Slayer Movie: Infinity Train
Demon Slayer had already exploded with the first season but this movie managed to surpass the hype of even that. With impeccable writing and signature unlimited-budget Ufotable action, this film surpassed all expectations. Rengoku’s character was immortalized through this movie and we’re all grateful he got a film dedicated to his character as he deserved.
Bleach the Movie: Hell Verse
Bleach’s Hell Verse movie is the earliest to have come out among these action anime films and yet still, to this day, stands as one of the most hyped and exciting anime action films of all time. The signature Bleach aesthetic, coupled with mind-blowing sakuga in the previous decade that can still compete with some modern masterpieces is indeed a feat to be reckoned with.
One Piece Movie 14: Stampede
One Piece Film Stampede was to One Piece what Avengers Infinity War was to the Avengers. This movie, while definitely lacking an engaging plot, managed to bring together several key One Piece powerhouses for an all-around showdown with the Strawhats and Luffy of course taking center stage. The action went clean and hard in this one and the Wano artstyle only enhances the experience. When talking about action anime films, One Piece Stampede has to be in the conversation.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly
It’s no surprise that when talking about action anime films, Dragon Ball Super: Broly has to be the crowning experience. Dragon Ball franchise is synonymous with action and sakuga animation in the anime community so it’s no surprise that when Broly’s movie came out the internet collectively broke- with several theaters houseful and even streaming sites overloaded and crashing. And yes, Broly deserves that hype. If you want more of Dragon Ball movies and what watch order to watch them in you can check out our article on all Dragon Ball series in order.
