I can't stand fight scenes where people are flying through the air at each other doing stupid poses and making sounds. They usually have some special power, and it's all so meh.
I really liked Pantheon and then cringed when it resorted to that near their end. There's lots of exceptions, like princess mononoke.
It's weird that the Japan - the country which arguably had the most positive global influence on how fight scenes are filmed and choreographed in movies has had a complete devolution in fight scenes in animation.
Like look at this fight scene from Ghost in the Shell (1995). Look how calm and harmonic it is 99% of the time, followed by quick bursts of action.
Or this scene from Evangelion (1999), Bebop (1998), Hellsing (1999).
There are some memorable modern fights that push the envelope of animation in modern anime like, Madara Uchia from Naruto (2016), Mob Psycho 100 (2019) or Castlevainia (2021).
But overall modern anime fights are composed mostly of flying, still images screaming "HEYAAA", internal monologues and 3D explosions.
One Punch Man mercilessly made fun of these things... one hero gets clocked one sentence into his "on the fly plan" mid-fight monologue.
