You know looking at this and seeing the whole series (which i loved!) I got to ask something? Whats the point of using such short spears? I mean its my understanding that the point of a spear (no pun intended) is that it gives you superior reach over a sword. but all the spears I have seen in this anime are so short they give almost no advantage over a sword, maybe even less.
@brazwen i can only answer as someone who has never been into anime at all when i tell you that this series is dope. my friend showed me one and i had to watch more, and i have never been roped in by another anime series. now that might mean i have shitty taste in anime, also. but give it a try.
There is only one thing I don't find realistic - wearing hardly no sleeves in such cold, cold weather. Other than that, this is awesome and very realistic!
@Cidean Those guys are chasing Balsa and .....her master? Their main objective is to kill them so I am guessing finding something suited for the Winter is not really their goal.
All I'm saying is..well, death from cold? Or rock to face, that too. I'd put off the search for a few moments for warmer clothing - at least I'd be warmer than the person I'm trying to kill.
Oh I bet that they havent been wearing such small clothes all the time, but its better to dress lightly while fighting (unless its an armor)...even her master would've dressed a bit less if he had idea that he had a fight waiting for him
My face hurts every time i see him throw the rock in the last opponents face. It looks so damn painful, like he broke every bone in his face.
I am confused by the spears in this series. Certain fights take sword blows right to the long part of the shaft and they ring and are definitely not wood. I know this is just a cartoon, but does anyone produce metal fighting spears like that in this day and age?
@TripAClaymore well in china you could find a bo staff made of iron, or have iron bands wraped around it. you can see the latter on the non bladed end of the spears shown here.
@TripAClaymore I don't know, but there may have been completely metal fighting spears back in the feudal days. I know there were iron staffs and such, so iron spears aren't too much of a stretch.
Wonderful fight scene. My only qualm is that 0:55 to 1:20 was not realistic when the rest was ("blue-shirt" had the luxury of getting fancy due to fighting in a group and since it would increase the force, it wasn't a bad idea). I liked the little touches such as pulling a spear out from under a person wasn't done in one easy motion.
the fight scenes in this anime were some of this most intricate i have ever seen. Its unfortunate there were so few of them. I ended up getting bored the show. I wonder why they didnt add more action throughout
It was alright , I'd like to see a movie adaption though..no live action although It would look awesome..anime movie would make a good impression ..the ova should come first before the movie does.!
now that's uncommon and I like it. Most of the time the protagonists are always swordsmen. Nice to see the spear being brought to the front line. There's so much amazing maneuvers one could do with a spear because of it's length but unlike a sword, it's harder to master a spear having the length and if the head is big and heavy, well...control might be a problem too. Anyway, Balsa rocks (period)
@andthereis I like pole-arms more than swords, too. Historically, they usually fared better. Swords are romanticized due to the cost and skill required to make them.
The pummel is supposed to be weighted to balance a spear head. Even though a metal spear shaft would make it heavier, the weight distribution would be less skewed to the ends. With more leverage, pole-arms are easier to wield than swords, unless you have a problem with coordinating your body (which only makes learning difficult).
I love this series and this fight scene is one reason why I like the fights in this series better than the ridiculous super-powered fight scenes in other anime.
i like this anme beacuse of basal and her spear.for them to have choses the spear as a main weapon is way mroe cooler i am tred of swords more peopel should make animes like this ones!
whoa that was a good fight! I love non super powered fights! They have so much more emotion and a way better flow than most super powered fights (there are, of course, exceptions though).
finnallyyy someone who agrrees whit me!!!! i prefert normal type fight super powered fights are just plain ridicculous this has ten more time steh emotion!!
Yes, and he was also her adoptive father, so to speak. You should definatley watch the anime...it's a beautiful story along with stellar fight sequences and kick-ass animation.
Man... i'm a Dragon Ball Z fan, but after i watched this, i'm not. Dragon ball z is based on huge speed and laser blasts. This is art of fighing.. Never seeng something like that, this is way better than Dragon ball Z. Thank you for your comment joker365 in video ''Top 10 Best Anime fights Ever! The last part'' Your comment meaned alot to me.
First time seeing this anime and I'm very impressed with the fight scenes. Although it lacks the blood and gore, it's redeemed by the choreography of the fights. I've watched all the spear fights posted by dahuman and I'm happy with what I've seen. Too bad I don't know what the show is about.
I think what makes these fight scenes especially amazing is the fact that it showed that solid fight scenes can be made that has no super human influence.
Just a spear master kicking ass. that beats energy blasts, teleportation and magical weapons any day of the week.

Some good fights but def not the best 5 ever. But still a good compilation. Scryed fight would be my favorite out of all of these. But have you seen Yu Yu Hakusho? There are probably 5 fights in that anime alone better than the ones in this vid.
One of my favourite scenes from anime. What a badass.
