One great anime is 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood'. The fight scenes are intense and well - animated. The story follows two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, on their quest to restore their bodies after a failed alchemical experiment. It delves deep into themes like sacrifice, redemption, and the consequences of playing god.
'Rurouni Kenshin' is somewhat underrated nowadays. It has great sword - fighting scenes that are both fast - paced and technically impressive. The story is set in a post - revolution Japan and follows Kenshin, a former assassin trying to atone for his past sins.
In good fight scenes novels, the characters involved in the fights are well - developed. Their fighting styles often reflect their personalities. Take 'The Dresden Files' for instance. Harry Dresden's style of using magic in combat is a mix of his quick thinking, his sense of justice and his somewhat maverick attitude. Another characteristic is the setting of the fight. A unique and well - described setting can enhance the fight scene. In 'Eragon', the dragon battles in the skies above the fantasy landscapes add to the grandeur and excitement of the fight. Also, good fight scenes novels often have a build - up to the fight. It's not just a sudden brawl but there's a lead - up that creates anticipation, like in 'Conan the Barbarian' stories where you can feel the approaching clash before it actually happens.
Rather than focusing on anime with sex scenes, I would recommend 'Cowboy Bebop'. It has a great story full of action, adventure, and complex characters. The plot is engaging as it follows the bounty - hunting crew of the Bebop spaceship. There are no sex scenes, but it's an anime that can really draw you in with its world - building and character development.
One good novel with fight scenes is 'The Wheel of Time' by Robert Jordan. There are battles between the forces of good and evil throughout the series. The fight scenes are detailed, showing different fighting styles and magical abilities. Also, 'The Dresden Files' by Jim Butcher has some exciting fight scenes. Harry Dresden, the main character, often gets into scraps with various supernatural foes. His use of magic in combat makes for some really cool and unique fight sequences.
In 'The Lord of the Rings', the battle at Helm's Deep is a great fight scene. The desperate defense of the stronghold against a horde of orcs is full of tension. Aragorn and his comrades fight bravely, with arrows flying and swords clashing.
Another one could be 'Ghost in the Shell'. It's a classic anime with a thought - provoking story about the nature of humanity, consciousness, and technology. It has some mature undertones and scenes that are more on the serious and philosophical side rather than sexual. It's an anime that can make you think deeply about various concepts.
Naruto. There are epic battles in it, such as Naruto's fight against Pain. And Naruto also has his love story with Hinata. Hinata has always admired Naruto from afar and finally their relationship blossoms.
The pacing is also important. A good anime with fight and love story manages to balance the action - packed fight scenes with the more tender moments of the love story. Take 'Naruto' for instance. Naruto has many intense battles throughout the series. But his relationship with Hinata also develops gradually. The fight scenes keep the adrenaline pumping, while the love story gives a different kind of warmth and motivation to the characters, making the overall story more engaging.
