Old and Licensed good stuff:
Fushigi Yuugi. Yes it IS Shoujo. BUT! Good magic, fight scenes (sword, martial art, and a brief and comic something like a WWF Smackdown), flashy, God powers, God Endowed powers, ghost powers, drama, plot, comedy, romance....etc. etc. It is good. Granted I generally like an everything anime because I like plot, drama, comedy, romance, swords, martial arts, magic.... but this satisfies....
Escaflowne the Series. Another everything anime, with really neat plot. Skip the movie. It sucks and sucked the life out of the series...ie. they took everything good out.
Mmmm...less good but funny with martial arts is:
Ran Tsukikage? spell? Wandering with the Wind Ran.
Flashy, but so-so anime Gatekeepers
Main char uses a sword
Potential to be what you want but I haven't finished it...
Tokyo Underground
Sorry for all the non animesuki titles but I figure everyone else can cover for me....
