Rules for winning an Anime fight: Always bring a sword to a gunfight, your fists to a swordfight, and a small, furry animal to a fistfight.
Extra credit if you yourself are a small, furry animal. By almost any definition of "small," "furry," and "animal."
I'm playing in a 5e campaign right now, and just swapped character to a wizard - but instead of skinning all my spells as traditional "mumble some words and magic happens" instead she just has a gun.
