There’s nothing like a good action-packed anime to get the heart pumping faster, especially when it has god-tier animation and an engaging storyline to go along with it. Today, we’d like to highlight ten of our favorites in the genre – they’ll be ranked by the intensity and creativity of their action scenes, as well as the quality of the narrative that gives those scenes context and meaning.

She may or may not actually be high class, but she commands attention wherever she goes with the strength of her personality alone. Expect these kinds of characters to wear exquisite clothing, seem aloof to the concerns of normal people, and perpetually surround themselves with an entourage, but even more down-to-earth girls can be ojou-samas as long as they can attract respect and adoration with little more than a knowing glance.
