female samurai

[bbduece]

hi, looking for the anime with a female ronin with very good sword skill

[Sakura_Kinomoto]

ahhh Dunno if this is what you want but its the first of my Head one of the main characters of Love hina is sweet with a sword

[Ichihara Asako]

Suzuka from Outlaw Star is the first one that comes to mind, as a true ronin type.

Touka from Utawarerumono may fit the bill, too. Not really a ronin, though...

Saya from Blood+ not really a samurai either, but very skilled with her sword.

Any of the Claymores may fit the bill, depending what it is you're looking for exactly.

If you just want a girl with a sword, Shana from Shakugan no Shana may be a choice.

They're all that I can think of off the top of my head, all being loner-ish women/girls with swords.

??? I'm confused if you're asking for a recommendation, or asking help identifying a show.

Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran stars a skilled female ronin.

[Ice Climbers]

well if just a girl with a sword then Saber from Fate/Stay Night definitely

this is the one thx
is there anymore anime or manga similiar to this show?

[Teletha]

Balsa is Seirei no Moribito uses a spear, not a sword and she's very skilled. I wouldn't classify her as a ronin or samurai though. The anime is so good and she's awesome, so you might check it out.

I Second Seirei no Moribito Very Good Anime..

[SeijiSensei]

Youko in Junni Kokki develops powerful sword skills after being inhabited by a spirit being.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Claymore yet. Many of the women in that show, including the main character, use swords, though they're slaying demons, not other fighting humans. (Whoops, missed Ichihara Askao's post there; sorry!)

Balsa may not use a sword, but she's certainly effective with that spear.

I Forget Claymore....The Best Anime Ever..

[Vexx]

aye, Robotnik's one is one of the finest... realistic swordplay, retelling of the old samurai Edo period tales.

The character has a strong lineage to the Motoko character in Love Hina (though with little of the emotional baggage).

I'm not really fond of supernatural swordplay generally (Claymore, etc) so Tsukikage Ran is good stuff in my estimation.

[Kikaifan]

Okita Souji in Peacemaker Kurogane.

Okay so he's male. You can barely tell!

Fourth. If you want a cool, level-headed ronin-like (i.e. serves no one master) martial artist, it doesn't get much better than Balsa from Serei no Moribito (lit. Guardian of the Spirit).

The bonus is the fantasy setting.

[darthsait]

i second fate stay night, its the best storyline plus good fighting, and pretty cute chicks lol

[angel.shade]

No love for The Third?

Honoka fits the bill pretty darn well. Damn near godlike with a sword and works for anyone who will pay. =p
