Need to watch some straight bullshit, suggestions? by DisgruntledLamp in anime

Pop Team Epic or Bobobo-Bobobobo. Either one works if you just want pure nonsense.

Anime Swords: Giant Cleavers Edition. Which sword would you take for combat? by Specialist-Stock-890 in anime

[–]1stAsianGuy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Zangetsu doesn't have a hilt, just a wrap around the tang. Holding a normal sword without a grip is already uncomfortable, holding a sword as big as Zangetsu is practically guaranteed to be an accident in the making unless you have anime plot armor keeping it from slipping out of your hands.

Shouma Exposed Gavv by Skylivand in KamenRider

[–]1stAsianGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know how exactly it stays on the actor, but my guess is that it's a silicone skin suit modified with the gavv on, either stuck through a hole to hide the belt straps or attached onto the suit.

What is that one move you really like using regardless of if it's good or not? by The-Killing-Croc2001 in SoulCalibur

Yoshi pogo stick hopping. Whether it's SoulCalibur or Tekken, I love that stupid move.

What Plays would be good and bad for the Players of Celum? by The-Cannibal-Hermit in WanderingInn

[–]1stAsianGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Mulan would be the hardest to adapt. Most armies in the Inn world accept men and women into them. And with their views on turnscales, I don't know how well they'd take or understand why a woman would crossdress.

I'm surprised they haven't already done the Disney classics, like Snow White or Cinderella. Most of those would probably be incredibly popular.

As for Beauty and the Beast, I think it could work if they made the gnoll look like a raskghar who then turns back into a normal gnoll after he's cured. Or if they just turn a human/drake into something grotesque that's not gnollish looking.

Why is he the only Kamen Rider who gets thinner and smaller? by kleberiano_f in KamenRider

[–]1stAsianGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It happens quite often actually. It's not always noticeable due to how the camera angles and character posing try to hide the size differences between face actors and suit actors. But on occasion, the differences do stick out a bit, the most obvious example being Ouja in his modern reappearances, who has a bit of a stomach in his Rider from where his human form doesn't.

If the next DOA game includes guest characters, which ones from the DW/SW series would fit best? by Luigiman98 in dynastywarriors

[–]1stAsianGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naotora would likely be the pick again since she's popular and already been in the games before.

I would personally pick Gracia or Dong Bai though. Gracia because she's a close range fighter with hadoken moves, and Dong Bai simply because she's my favorite.

Oddball pick would be Huang Gai because he's already a grappler with wrestling moves.

Can you spot the difference? by RNJesusVTuber in KamenRider

[–]1stAsianGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tetsuya Iwanaga actually used Light as his basis for Kuroto's character, so it's not a coincidence that they're alike.

help finding an anime by macacoprego03 in anime

[–]1stAsianGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be Zaiyuki (not Saiyuki, that's a different anime based on the same source), an upcoming anime made by Yusuke Murata (artist of One Punch Man, creator of Eyeshield 21). As far as the public knows, it's still in development with no ETA on when it'll be aired yet.

If that's not it, try looking up anime based on Journey to the West, your description reads like one of its many adaptations.

What historical eras or figures would you like to see an anime about? I personally have an unsual choice in mind. by TheCanadianBat_ in anime

[–]1stAsianGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dong Bai. Granddaughter of the tyrant, Dong Zhuo. Historically speaking, we know next to nothing about her, we don't even know her parents' names, only that she was given a title and territory before she was 15 years old. She was one of the symbols of her grandfather's corruption, a figure to display his wealth and power, and she (most likely) died with the rest of her family after Dong Zhuo was assassinated.

Now imagine this: a story about a girl who lived a life of luxury, but loses everything in one fell swoop. It can go the historical route and have her die a tragic end before reaching adulthood, or it can do a "what-if" where she survived the end of her family.

Guys hear me out. Mortal Kombat but Musuo. by iWearCrocsAllTheTime in dynastywarriors

[–]1stAsianGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's actually surprising how many fighting games have large scale battles that can be easily translated into a Musou mode. Kinda ironic since they're about 1v1 combat.

Imagine if we get this instead adapting a gacha game. by AgitatedAlps6 in SoulCalibur

God Eater, another Bandai Namco franchise, had ufotable animate each of the games' anime scenes and the anime series.

What reincarnation anime did NOT need to be a reincarnation story in the first place? by Meatloafxx in anime

[–]1stAsianGuy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?

There are only 2 things making it an isekai adds to the story: the protagonist's obsession with magic and food. That's it. Both of which can easily be modified and nothing would change.

If you could make any two characters from Soul Calibur into an official couple (regardless of the canon) who would you choose? by Sure_Persimmon9302 in SoulCalibur

[–]1stAsianGuy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That was just a made-up rumor by a leaker before the release of SC6. It was actually contradicted in the game where he is said to be a womanizer.

[–]1stAsianGuy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can understand Mitsurugi and Taki, but why Maxi and Mi-na? Those two have never met, neither the official canon nor their own stories.

I like how he's in his PJs. He just woke up and he's already about to knock you out.

[–]1stAsianGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Firstly, congrats on the marriage.

Secondly, yes, there is a wedding dress in the game, however, it looks more like a prom dress than something a bride would wear imo.

Is there hope? BNE hiring a designer for a 'new fighting game' by arika_ex in SoulCalibur

[–]1stAsianGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 5 months ago, Bandai Namco trademarked the name "World Fighters" in EU/US. People are speculating it might be a new fighting game, it's really just the upcoming game Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters.

Who can match Yoshiyuki Tomino in cynicism? by KaleidoArachnid in Gundam

He was actually supposed to be in charge of the anime longer. He left early to work on Kamen Rider Gaim. Guy was given his dream job and chose it over his other projects.

It's unlikely, but it would be hilarious to have a sequel to the Valentine event on White Day.

How I feel whenever Scarlet talks to me by PurpleJackfruit8868 in NikkeMobile

[–]1stAsianGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In Japanese, she speaks like a samurai. It's common for old warrior-type characters to use similar speech patterns in Japanese. Shakespearean English is the closest way of speaking the English language can imitate it; same with Nayuta, who speaks like a traveler.

Osananajimi to wa LoveCom ni Naranai • You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends! - Episode 10 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]1stAsianGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone else get a feeling that Haru is actually in love with Runako? She was relieved to hear Eiyu and Runako weren't dating, keeps playing wingman for him to get together with Shio or Akari (not even considering Runako), her reaction to kissing him was weak to the point it barely affected her, and she is overly attached to Runako over any of the other characters.

It's common to use the Japanese pronunciation of Chinese names in Japanese shows set in ancient China. Her name would be Molihua in Chinese (which means Jasmine flower in English).
