[KyuuMiku]

[159qwaszx]

Yay. I'm Chinese and he didn't put up a bunch of Chinese stereotypes.

[xXAirYukiXx]

The character in the title is "nen"

In other words, "Year" in japanese.

[SwimmingBird941]

@xXAirYukiXx It's originally the Chinese character "nian", which doubles as the word for year and as the name of the monster in the legend.

[xXAirYukiXx]

@SwimmingBird941 yeah, since the Japanese borrowed the Chinese characters and just gave new names for them.

[xTToGaming]

@SwimmingBird941 nen is year in chinese. (Im asian).

[MrNicky4512]

@SwimmingBird941 not bad your chinese

[xTToGaming]

[Fotballfreak32]

You should make stories about scottland characters or other histories :)

[SwimmingBird941]

@Fotballfreak32 OooOoo That's a great idea! I've mentioned in a questions video about how I wanted to do more tall tales of Scottlanders...I think that would be pretty awesome.

[Fotballfreak32]

[gl77777777]

thank you for this great minecraft CNY video.

[thejoco1990]

did you make up this story or was there a hint of real legend to it? cause it was pretty awesome and i couldnt tell lol XD

[SwimmingBird941]

@thejoco1990 It's actually just the version I know of the real legend behind it...I just added some visual humor to make it more fun to watch.

[wookiemueller]

nice vid do more videos !!

[bigbill243]

I'm on my second year of mandarin at school, and I can say that I am thoroughly impressed with this :D. Hope I learn to speak chinese someday, I suck at it now.

[tjfreckles1995]

@bigbill243 youre on your second year too, i am as well thats awesome man keep at it Ive really been enjoying the language so far. Also i agree, this was a funny/cool/accurate new year myth

[SwimmingBird941]

@bigbill243 Stick with it! It was pretty tough at first, but the longer I did it the more I really enjoyed it....plus, it's going to be amazing to have on your resume.

[ZachyyyPoo]

Three people should just burn. ^.^

[Jole730]

Bravo

[MIDNIGHT0521]

I said you were talented last night when we communicated Adam, now I know you're an amazing storyteller too! Not kissing %@* or anything, just being truthful fellow New Yorker to New Yorker! :->

If I had caught The Nyan, I woulda stuck him in the toaster on light brown & waited for him to come out crispy ready to eat! Nothing like Nyan flavored Pop Tarts my friend, mmmm! LOL XD

P.S.: WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL BABY, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!­!!!!!!

[MrRyansMind]

This was really awesome, creative and pretty informative, I never knew anything about chinese new year really so this was cool. If you do more it would be cool to see more folklore and myths :)

[iWolfyyy]

Wow nice job Adam. I feel like you should have a lot more subscribers than you do. You put a lot of creativity and effort into making these.

[The2coolchannel]

[gothgirl6391]

[anneflint]

Great job!

[thestrangeboy101]

I love how my Chinese class thought this toady about this legend

[0rangeSkittlezz]

Ur Chinese Is Amazingly Accurate. I've Met People Who Arent Chinese, And They Pronounced It Wrong. Yours Was Very Close, Great Job :D

[SwimmingBird941]

@0rangeSkittlezz Thanks! I took a few years of Mandarin in college, but remembering to emphasis the right tones always gets me....I'm glad it didn't sound horrible!

[konstantinkostia]

hahahaha :D I literally Loled at the nian cat :D I am impressed, good video.

[SwimmingBird941]

@konstantinkostia I had to think of what the monster's skin should be....and then it hit me like a ton of pop tarts.

[MrFabulous999]

@SwimmingBird941 hit you like a ton of pop tarts XD

[NskiBeauty]

Very nice! Wonderful job!

[isaaaaca]

[christ6345]

Everybody in Scottland better watch out. I've seen Paden eying you guys

[wunderjeeson]

[SwimmingBird941]

@wunderjeeson It was just a random villager setting it off....didn't take long for one to get curious!

[TheGobberShop]

kinda like in that Clint Eastwood western where he painted a town red.

[george00019]

you much love Chine

[SwimmingBird941]

@george00019 Yes, I really love Asian cultures. I took a few years of Mandarin in college, and have always had an interest in China, Japan, Korea, Indian, etc.

[TheGamerz3695]

@SwimmingBird941 Wow this is really cool and it aculally is "real" very cool and its cool you have a intrest in asian culture :)

[george00019]

@SwimmingBird941 you ever been to china ??

[SwimmingBird941]

@george00019 I was planning on going for school, but I ended up needing to focus on my main classes for the degree or I would have ended up needing to go another semester.

[george00019]

@SwimmingBird941 you know what ever want to play minecraft with just pm me if you get bored somtime thinking of makeing videos sometime

[Mike480537]

Wait this is true? I thought red was the color of power? Anyway, ill actually favorite this for reference :)

[SwimmingBird941]

@Mike480537 Yup, the story is one that's very old and explains a bit about how the celebration got to be the way it is today. The jokes are all visual, and the story is as true as I have heard it to be.

[RichardZxiong]

@SwimmingBird941 when is your contest gonna end?

[SwimmingBird941]

@RichardZxiong It actually ended a bit ago...did you miss the video announcing the winners? Don't worry, I'll do another one soon, possibly when I hopefully hit 2k subscribers.

[gsmfbsjetc]

the most epic film ever.....i pissed my pants when i saw the nyan, i mean nian...although i kinda hoped that more villigers would die and it would end like cloverfield

[CartezGamez]

[SwimmingBird941]

@CartezGamez Thanks! It's always nice to hear that when I put a bit of work into these.
