@choyleefutkid1 You might as well say boxing is useless because no one's going to let you stand there and hit them. If you don't have enough brains to figure out when to do what, or whether to add an extra movement to the technique to fit the current situation that's your problem.

@yinnieable No. The one that you are talking about is the miao dao. Tang dao is something else completely. Chinese swords are generally straight-backed until horses came to play, which is around the song/yuan dynasty. Chinese only started using katana like weapons during the ming dynasty.

Forcing is a good way to expose one to something they are unfamiliar with, they might like it. Well it also depends on how proactive the kid is, and how much resource they have access to. I was a stupid kid so I kind of needed that, but my parents never did that to me. Go figure...

Typical original anime by Bones. Interesting side stories and characters but they don't really explain the main plot really well. If it was longer...

In terms of historical influence Sailor moon, CCS, Nanaha, and Precure are probably the most significant ones. Maybe we can add Madoka after 2011 but we have yet to see its influence on the genre.

@Yamato360 What? 形 means roughly form/shape 意 means intention/mind 拳 means fist. Nothing in the characters suggest pushing at all. The name of the 5 element fists already existed in dai xinyi when Li Luoneng learned it, who then modified it and change the name to xingyi. What the hell do the tai...

This pretty interesting. It's like vocaloids in 3D. I wonder if people will expand on the idea.

Wow you don't see this everyday.

@Belwaer He's not very good with this kind of thing as you can tell. He's one of those artists that doesn't have a large reserve of different faces, hair, eye etc.

The first thing that came to my mind was silent hill.

Hmm I think what he's describing is closer to sectionalism than racism.

I couldn't figure out what the hell happened until I read the comments....

Man there's fire all over the place. Korra are you really a water bender lol?

I don't think you can. One time I thought it was possible, but I got killed along side with her lol.

@novanine9 I don't know why you put WC and Taiji together. If you compared the 2 when they punch, you'll notice a difference in the power generation. Also Taiji does utilize strikes, you can see this in chen taiji, the oldest taiji style, especially. Your misconception is probably due to the popu...

It helps that he was voiced by fukuyawa jun

holy shit. that was amazing

That's a bit controversial actually. 吾不知其誰之子，象帝之先 I've seen a few explanations of 象帝. One is God, the other is Emperors, the last is "everything" (萬物).

Lance is a hard champion if you don't have ice beam due to the pure amount of pseudo legendaries he have. But once you start exploiting his 4X weakness... yeah

Though I don't particularly like the fate route, I like the ending to it.

@IllIIl122112 Yes, the first part at least. Though I never even notice it until someone tell me that. It does sound familiar to the ears. I give them credit for the lyrics though, it does have some old chinese poetic feel to it.

@Edcastaneda1 What you see in general is called tao lu. It's generally for show and teaching purposes. The concept of free sparing in CMA is called san shou. And if you look hard enough I'm sure you'll find videos of them punching trees or something, it's not just air.

@PaulBui I believe it's called "an shen pao". It's basically a 2 man drill exercise with predetermined moves. I think it was used to give beginners the feel of combat and some easy applications.

Same. Because of this I started watching Maihime. Whether I thought the story was great or not is another story, but the music does create great atmosphere.

Rayquaza where's your extreme speed? C'mon there has to be at least someone that knows a priority move.

@NautilusCZY I know it's a bit late, but you are right it's 2006 not 1995. The year in the description uses the Minguo calendar calculation or ROC year. The first ROC year is 1912; therefore, 2006 AD would be the 95th ROC year.

@cassiopeia801031 that's got nothing to do with anything. inbreeding produces stupid individuals because of the pairing of mutant traits which causes disease. Mix blood only reduces the chance of diseased pairing. What we are comparing then would be between a individual with fewer diseased traits...

WTF, English is damn important. I don't like being send to America when I was young, but I got to learn English. You might hate it when you're young but once you start speaking it well enough you'll thank your parents for forcing English on you. Being bilingual has so much advantage it's not even...

@she10she10she otaku just means you are an avid anime watcher, it's got nothing to do with staying at home all day. Those that stay at home all day is call NEET.

this kind of mentality is really unhealthy.
