hmm, the majority of fights I consider my favorites haven't happened in animated form, but I'll see what I can list:
The first one I can think of is actually from the Clone wars show:

Ths might be the best lightsaber duel in the entire series. it's wild, animated, and just flat-out fun, and it's very meaningful and interesting. This fight reminded me of the star wars OT lightsaber duels, where the battles weren't simply sabers flung at eachother to be cool but had true meaning, where the difference between the fighters and their styles was readily apparent. This combined that atmosphere with the faster pace and great effects the prequel and show had to offer, and the different angles and scenes only really doable in an animated format.
Helps I'm a maul fan, I suppose.
Outside of that, for an actual anime fight:
Hiei vs. Bui immediately comes to mind.
Yu Yu Hakusho's full of a lot of good fights and a lot of awesome stuff, but rather than linking the majority of Yusuke's fights, this one'd be simpler:

It's simple, short, but with a lot of tension and some pretty great animation for the time to top it off.
