I recommend Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The first two arcs are more martial arts based, but the third story arc introduces special powers/ spirits called Stands, which is what the series is most famous for and as the title of the series suggests, there are some really bizarre powers in the series like the power to summon fictional characters to wreak havoc or trap people's souls by beating them at bets, or summoning feet that run at almost 60 mph that will suck out the energy of anyone it grabs ahold of, etc. Most of the fights involve characters trying to figure out how their opponent's Stand works and how to counter it or use their own Stands' abilities in unorthodox ways.

I recommend reading the manga since none of the adaptations to date have covered the series in its entirety. Though there will be a new anime adaptation later this year.
