what do i mean? well after watching HxH i was deeply impressed by how creative in concept and execution the Nen abilities are and i am looking for more anime on that level of shonen fighting.
Example;say what you want about One Piece but i think it's Battle System as a whole is on par with HxH when you account for just how diverse people's fighting styles can be, even without devil fruits.
NONexamples;yes, dragon ballz is a classic but it's fights are trash and relatively boring and un-inventive, yuyuhakusho has more creative fights but they arn't on par with HxH or OP. Naruto started out on par with OnePiece ''fighting wise'' but then it slowly became ''who can pull the biggest megaton fart jutsu out of their ass'' and the creativity was lost.
Can anyone in /wsr/ suggest to me an anime with this atheistic or am i out of luck?
>inb4 jojo bizzare adventure and FMA
i'm already planning on watching these eventually, i'm just trying to see if there are any other anime with ''top tier battle system'' so that i can space out my viewing of then and not just marathon them all at once

shigurui

>shigurui
that isn't really the kind of anime i had in mind, i was think of the kind were everyone had unique supernatural/superhuman powers. i'll still give it a go but i hope i get answers that actually pertain to OP

I get vaguely what you mean when you say fighting system, but most of the time anime with intricate 'fighting systems' tend to be shit and go autisitc with it all. You also have to consider which anime are actually good, and unfortunately the ones you're looking for are more often than not, shit.
Here are some that fit the bill somewhat tho
>FMA and FMA:B
You already mentioned them but it's a good series.
>JoJo
Might not be the best thing to jump into initially, you either love it or you hate it
>Katanagatari
Good art, good story, and the battle mechanics are very creative without taking away from anything.
>Kill la Kill
Another good series, good animation and the characters are on point. The fighting 'system' isn't the most indepth, but again it's done very well and very stylistically.
>Fate/Zero
Fate/stay night is probably more along the lines of what you're looking for considering it's length, but Fate/Zero is the better series to almost everyone but hardcore nasuverse fans.
>>158749
Nasuverse (Fate series, Kara no Kyoukai, Tsukihime)
Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta and it's OVAs. Look up the order I don't remember when the OVAs come in.
Read or Die, although it's been a while I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty fucking sure it's in the ball park you're looking for.
Ninja Slayer.
Kyousougiga
Battleship Yamato 2199
Cencoroll
Fafner Exodus and to a lesser extent the first series and the movie/OVA. But they don't start getting UNDERSTANDING powers really till S2.
Keep in mind, none of these are battle shounen, but they all either have powers, or unique/creative fights.
Also I agree with Katangatari with the poster above.

Lower than non-shounen.

>most anime with intricate battle systems tend to be shit and go autistic with it all
that's funny, because i thought about it for a minute and the only anime i can think of that fits that description is Naruto, is there really other anime like that?
>>159131
Most (almost all) shonens.
All the forgettable battle anime that comes out every season that people never remember.
Shame is they aren't even that indepth. Anime with 'battle systems' in the first place tend to be shit, with notable exceptions
>>159131
bleach and the movies, yuyu, dbz, blood c, devil may cry, inuyasha, etc
i rec
basilisk
soul eater (just dont expect much of the final episode)
halo legends
also some sports series
kuroko
one outs
kenichi
Otokojuku, the fighting styles are crazy. For example, there's a guy who uses a motorbike to fight, one who just uses his super strength but also mixes in stuff like farting, one using magic tricks, guy using a spring on his head, person with trained monkeys and a guy who fights with sulfuric acid bubbles
>>159222
Kinnikuman is also absurd in a nice way, it's about superhero wrestlers and going absolutely insane, the main character even farts his way out of a black hole at one point.
>>159225
Meant to say and "goes insane with it" and not "going insane"
>>159168
Even then, the constant infodumping of something NO-ONE CARED ABOUT EVER was one of the things that shitted up HxH.
It's a TV show not an RPG supplement; no-one needs to have to sit through entire episodes where all they do is talk about a game mechanic.
>>159168
>anime battle systems tend to be shit
so what were the ones that made you like them despite your bias toward them?
I IMPLORE SOMEONE TO POST THE MOST AUTISTIC, ASSBACKWARD FIGHTING SHONEN THEY CAN THINK OF
>>159222
>>159225
>mentions farting fighters
>doesn't mention Gasser from Bo-bo-bo
seems legit

BONUS ROUND; WHAT IS THE MOST SHIT TIER AUTISM FUELED SHONEN ANIME THAT WAS MENT TO BE TAKEN...
