@djautumn3 The white and fair skin thing has been in Chinese culture for quite a while. It's not just western media. In the classic of poetry or 詩經 a poem uses 膚如凝脂 to describe a beautiful women. Basically saying that her skin is smooth, silky and fair, and that's back in the Spring/Autumn period...

It's kind of funny actually. I was surprised when people told me that Song actually was one of the richest Chinese dynasty despite it being considered the weakest dynasty militarily. I guess the de-emphasis on armies encourages development of high culture and commerce.

I always find Luo's sword a bit weird. The way they fashion his sword remind me of a jian or at least a straight-backed dao, but he's using a curved single edge.

Yes it does. Relaxation training allows you to have better control over your muscles. You think standing still/moving slowly without losing the movement's integrity is easy?

Even though yanderes have been around for a while, there's something about her that makes her more "yandere" than most.

lol Brazil wtf?

@LuckyStarAlice13 Chunibyou shares some trait with "the emo kid." It's hard to list all traits concerning the topic, but this song is primarily a parody of those that fall under the "Jakigan" category. It's categorized by a heavy emphasize on their fantasy for "the power of darkness," "pure blood...

Making this into an anime will be very hard. The VN doesn't show you everything so you can easily mind fuck yourself with the words, just like reading a book. It's much harder to visually mind fuck everyone.

Not that big of a deal really, well designed female characters are always talked about. If the old classics weren't created in a time where internet wasn't readily available, I guarantee you can find a porn of it floating around somewhere.

@maaimm It is insulting in a way, cuz she's Chinese. Why should she be proud of sounding like a Japanese according to you?

Reminds me of the Batek people. They have one of the few egalitarian societies in the world, at least at the time when "the headman was a women" was written, and despite gender equality the hunters are mostly men. They recognize that men and women excel at different things, but there's nothing wr...

As far as I know the term fujoshi was coined before the behaviors that made them infamous run wild; I guess even they think it was a weird interest. But being a fujoshi is not bad. It's that a great number of fujoshis are "overzealous" about it. Some openly advertise their love for male orgies, r...

@cstritz Another theory is that dew/water vapor gather easily on metal surfaces. Also combustion can't occur without something to burn, it needs fuel. According to Bagua, wind falls under the jurisdiction of wood, not to mention air shares the same word with Qi already. Are you even attempting to...

I'm so not sure about the ancient people running around with sword and spear part. No sane government would let everyday citizen carry these thing around. Staffs/Sticks probably were very rampant, but definitely not spears. Still true though, TCMA guys preferred to be armed if we can.

@tukkatathai I'm not sure China even said that. Textbooks refer to yuan as "a dynasty in Chinese history." Nobody said that Yuan or qing is a Han empire. Yuan and Qing is just recognized as a legitimate empire in Chinese history.

@ironclownfish are you not a mammal?

Seriously, why the hell are you political/racist fags all over the place. Do someone pay you guys to put those comments on youtube or something?

lol I don't how that's possible, but this MAD made it look like a school romance.

@kibakichi281 It's not used to counter a lunge. It's more of a kick to counter a scoop kick or a kick to drop on your opponent in between punches. Either way, with or without the lunge you can still step on your opponent's leading leg. Not surprising that it existed in many CMA that favor extreme...
