An anime that's just about the fighting is Fist of the North Star.

Anime was the shit when I was 14, but my long and complex relationship with anime I think has finally died. Modern anime seems to rarely have budgets to actually animate their shit, and I find it hard to keep up with all the drawn out, overly complicated shows bogged down with filler. If you enjoy anime that is great, but I find it a largely wasted medium, with most of its highlights behind them.
Similarly I find the same with Marvel and DC. Trying to keep up with their continuities is pretty much impossible without Wikipedia constantly open and I ultimately just get so frustrated that it ends up turning into boredom. The only reason I don't all out hate Marvel and DC is their ability to travel across so many mediums so easily. You can count the amount of classic mangas/animes that translated to successful live action flicks or franchises on one hand. And the fact that pretty much every superhero is iconic in their own way, where's if I asked someone who Hisui Kisaragi is, they probably wouldn't be able to answer me, even though he's the protagonist of my favourite anime. Power Rangers is one of my all time favourite franchises but I DESPISE how it's marketed. MMPR and the other ones. Not only is MMPR a pretty poor show, but it's an even worse representation of the franchise as a whole and the juvenile attitude towards the Disney era by Saban is disgusting. Sentai is certainly handled a lot better, but I can honestly say that it is also a franchise I don't really care that much for, as so many of sentai's classics have been adapted into Power Ranger shows that have a place in my heart already. Thank God for Kamen Rider.

I thought I start this thread over with video games added into the brawl.
In my opinion: Tokusatsu: Kamen Rider & Power Rangers and several other tokus that I've seen are better than the Marvel & DC comics. Video Games: Fighting game heroes along with platform heroes like Sonic, Mario, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Spyro & Crash Bandicoot. They're cool.

Honestly it depends what you take in from each one. I've learned lessons from OOO that I never learned from Comics and games and other lessons I've learned from everything else that I haven't from Toku. They are all wonderful.

Voted Toku,Marvel and Video Games.
Not big of a anime guy and a few years ago I would have voted DC all the way but they broke my heart with the new 52 and continue every year to disappoint me. |

Toku, Marvel, and DC.
I was raised on all three and they are all heroes in my book. |

Gonna go Marvel here. I'm not really into superhero-esque anime aside from DBZ, Batman is the only DC character I really care about, video games don't seem to be very super hero-esque and tokusatsu is great, but generally not what comes to mind when I think superhero (except for Spiderman, of course :P). Marvel, however, has a lot of cool and interesting characters, so it gets my vote.
