Alright, I feel like watching a fantasy anime containing martial arts/weapons. So if any of you know a good one, please share. Something like Bleach, Naruto, Shadow Skill or Yu Yu Hakusho type. Thanks in advance.

Code Geass.
Just kidding.
There's Flame of Recca. I've heard it's similar to Yu Yu Hakusho.

Hrm. Well, when you mention martial arts, I think of Kure-nai, but there really isn't that much fighting in that. There's a really nice scene of two characters sparring, though, with great animation and such. The few fight scenes in the series mostly have pretty nice animation.
Do gun fights count? Desert Punk is a pretty hilarious show, but it's full of all sorts of gun fights and such as well.
Have you already seen Fate/stay night? Plenty of fighting in that.
MÄR may seem somewhat childish, especially at first, but give it a try sometime. A lot of the fights are pretty cool, and the series in general is pretty nifty. I think only the first half or so is subbed, though. =\ (58 episodes, I think.) Definitely worth checking out what is subbed, though. And if you can find more than I did, then good for you. Otherwise, I think the manga's done being translated. (If not, scanlations, I guess.)
Uh, those last two are probably your best bet, though, out of my post here. If I think of anything else, I'll try to add it later.

Kenichi, Kekkaishi, KIBA, D.Gray-man, Soul Eater, Claymore, Hunter X Hunter, Murder Princess, Scryed, Shounen Onmyouji, Tnjou Tenge, Tokyo Majin Gakuen (season 1 & 2) & Utawarerumono. Of course there are more, but You'll be stuck with these for a while. I just love TMG <3 Martial Arts, weapons and fantasy! all in one!

FLAME OF RECCA! The anime ends early, but I absolutely loved the manga. Definitely check it out if you get the chance.
There's Hajime no Ippo, which is a boxing anime. Easily one of my top favorites.

Thanks for the help people. Few that you mentioned were already watched from my end, but still quite a few are new to me. I've picked from your suggestions that I'll watch soon enough or at the same time like Soul Eater, Claymore and Hajime no Ippo.
Yeah Flame of Recca is old but I checked it out and it looks cool, and so does Nabari No Ou.

Give Karas a try. Many people over looked it because it released the same time Advent Childern did and it took them like 2years to get the 2nd OVA out. If you liked Guyver or think it could have had more to it check this out.
May not be what your looking for but its a good anime that was overlooked by many.

Easily recommended, contains a great blend of comedy, action, and drama. I would say it should define on how most sport orientated animes should follow in terms of story-telling.

Alright, I'll check it out. I'm always oppened for more suggestions and checking out anime is not a problem, expecially if it's a recommendation.
By the way, old Saint Seiya is not bad too, if anyone watched it.

Oh yeah, how could I forget this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WebDMtitufk...441&index=3Excellent fighting anime. Watch the clip and see what you think. Although this is only the fighting aspect. The comedy is top notch as well.
Definitely recommended.

Some more you might like are Basalisk. Ninja's, if you liked ninja scrolls you will like this. (of people I showed this to they told me it reminded them of ninja scrolls)
I stumbled upon one called Air Master it is themed around street fighting, there is a battle every episode. I liked it, must be from all the aerial attacks.
Karas trailer to tease the rest of you
