This anime series portrays the Hundred Years War between England and France (1337 - 1453), with fantasy elements like witches, succubi, angels and magic thrown into the mix.
The clothing (except the fantasy characters), architecture, armor and weapons are all realistic and historically accurate, with a lot more attention to detail than I've ever seen in any other movie or series, be it animated or live-action. Clearly a lot of research went into this, which I appreciate a lot.
The battle scenes are also very convincing. The knights and men-at-arms fight with actual skill and tactics like real warriors would. These are easily the most realistic scenes I've seen so far, which answers one of the most common questions that people have been asking me.
If you like entertainment with educational value (and if you like sex jokes as well), give "Maria the Virgin Witch" a try.

So here's the giant enemy crab.

Baron Von Veon
You can hit its weak spot for MASSIVE damage!
AdamBlackHat flip it over for massive damage
The golden arc of berserk is fairly realistic......except for guts........and zodd.....and the eclipse. You know what nevermind
And ppl with throwing knives...and...and...and...yea, nevermind
(If you read the manga) Don't forget the rapist dog man or whatever it is.
ousou78 You mean wyland?
Daniel Clark Yes him
Daniel Clark Do not ever pop out a boner above Guts' head
And here I am, taking anime recommendations from a historical weapon reviewer...funny thing is, it had better convincing value than legit anime reviewers.
So fkin true.
Got that right. He sold me with the realistic battle styles. And Succubi.
Succubi
M R T K Well, you don't call the whole group succubus's, do you?
***** Oh look, someone who follows mainstream anime only, and acts like he knows what he's talking about. But in reality, he's a hipster.
Maria the virgin....... bet that wont last to long once fan artists get to it
MaxOfFewTrades h
MaxOfFewTrades
It already has strong erotic subplot in canon from what I hear, so there you go
spoilers
MaxOfFewTrades Just look at what she’s wearing. You don’t even need to wait for fan artists. Japanese have a strange idea of virginity. And it’s already a strange idea xD!
@Art Martinez
As much as I dislike her outfit it makes somewhat sense in the context of the story. And the story is actually quite good.
The symbolism of her magic being out of place just like her existence was probably missed by practically EVERYONE wathing this. Which is a shame.
Witch is a shame!
+James Harper Oho! ...I see what y'did there. Nice.
+AMVaddictionist How was her exitence out of place? Maria wasn't the only supernatural thing, there were angels and shit walking all over the place.
+CidGuerreiro1234 But remember. This was a fully historic setting. Heck, even to the other supernatural beings, like the angels. Her actions were also out of place and unusual.
Firecage That is true I suppose. Even the other witches thought she was acting recklessly.
Overall I think Maria was a total bitch, but I liked that show :P
Anime never cease to surprise me. All though a bit too weird and over the top a lot of the times, there also shows which really impresses me, like this one, at least it seems so, haven't watched it, yet. Will be the first one set in medieval times, and maybe the first one without any horror aspect to it, unless it's bloodier than it looks like.
Yeah I don't really watch much anime, and those I have seen are mostly horror.
The Horned King I think there are actually at least three genres under the term anime/manga. There seems to be ridiculous stuff targeted at teenage boys, ridiculous stuff targeted at teenage girls, and mostly serious stuff targeted at adults. A lot of the stuff that gets the best reviews for realism in visual science fiction is also anime or manga and a lot gets good reviews for intellectual depth. And then there's the low brow action or romance schlock that tends to color so many perceptions.
Nathan Brown pretty much true. sadly thee is not a lot of good stuff coming out these days, mostly the stuff targeted at teenage boys with lot's of girls that fall for the generic highschool boy main character. and a few not so ridiculous thing aimed at teenage girls with "unlikely lovestory" theme or something similar.
Nathan Brown You're talking about shounen, shoujo and seinen. These are not genre but target demographics. Shounen means literally young boy, shoujo means young girl and seinen are men over ~18. Genres are for example Sci-fi, Romance or Drama.
This all seems about right. I have a friend who really is an anime fan, and I have picked up a lot from internet. I know surprisingly much.
Nathan Brown sometimes even the "serious" animes can't resist put on a little fan services (e.g. up skirt shot, shower shot, etc), Aldnoah Zero, Sidonia no Kishi, to name a few.
Thanks to Skallagrim mentioning this on another video I watched this anime and was blown away by the level of detail and accuracy.
The knights have better quality gambesons made up of more pieces with lots of gussets around the shoulder/armpit region. The mercenaries have reasonable gambesons made from simpler patterns while the archers have the simplest gambesons.
It must be one of the only mediæval shows where historically accurate underwear is shown, almost nobody shows braies and hose worn correctly but here we have a friggen cartoon putting everything else to shame. They obviously had an excellent research team/advisors and listened to them.
The other thing was that religion was handled very well. It wasn't anti-anything, it showed the mass of the population as Christian and a fair chunk of the plot revolved around Maria having to deal with those beliefs. The people acted as you would expect of people of that time rather than trying to foist modern morality onto an historical setting.
"Maria the Virgin Witch"? Sounds like a hentai.
charon7111 Naw, just an adaptation of an 80's/90's manga, like Ranma 1/2.
charon7111 So you are telling me that Jeanne D'arc nicknamed as the virgin warrior came from a hentai too?
***** Then you need to change your view range mate. Because I found a lot if anime without any hentai content.
***** o_0 ..... I'm not sure if your trolling or if your viewing of anime has been extremely limited. Leaning more towards trolling.
charon7111 My view of anime is not limited and I am not trolling.
I am just very nitpicky about it. And there are quite a few very good anime out there without any hentai stuff.
I feel like you would enjoy A Practical Guide to Evil. It's a realistic fantasy series which spends a lot of time focusing on the weapons and tactics employed, and which has an unusual magic system largely based on the idea that you can gain power and influence by taking on an archetypal role in the story, and it really goes into the weirdness of how realism interacts with dramatic storytelling. For example, one of the best tacticians of the Dread Empire famously commanded his Legions of Terror never to engage an enemy force that clearly had no chance of survival, because they would always pull off an impossible victory against the odds.
That sounds so fucking cool and meta at the same time.
SPOILERS
I kinda felt like the series dropped off when the MC gave up her divinity/Winter Queen Title. I just felt like the quality started dropping off and gave up on the series not too long afterwards. Maybe it does pick back up, and if so I might try the series again. Before that point, however, I found the series to be fantastic.
I searched up A Practical Guide To Evil and couldn’t find it.
skall: ...most realistic arms & armor and fighting...
me: meh.
skall: ...also lotta naked skin and sex jokes...
me: YEAAAAH, Gonna watch it!
👍
+copiright infridgement it's youuuuu ,you have no power over the inverted relm!!!!
+copiright infridgement it's youuuuu ,you have no power over the inverted relm!!!!
Brian Huynh i do
Are you sureee
Another anime that contains historically accurate combat is the Berserk series.
Yes, I am aware that the main character's great-sword is rather far-fetched at times, but I also want to point out that the weapons & combative tactics utilized by the other characters in that series is completely accurate too, historic-wise.
I could name other anime's that also employ historical accuracy, but I'll leave that to the future commentators to come.
+The Waiting Flame thats the idea, cut guts out and its perfectly accurate. Guts is the anomaly.
Mormaxim TheKingslayer,
Agreed. I look forward to viewing other Anime which contain historical accuracy.
+The Waiting Flame If you enjoyed that consider reading/watching ( I can't remember if there is an anime) Vinland Saga.
Bellchime,
I already have.
Thank you for mentioning it though.
+The Waiting Flame Pretty much. There were I think a couple other characters in the show who were seen cutting through solid plate armor with a sword, but other than stuff like that, the weapons and tactics are fairly historically accurate. Though the idea behind that series was more to make Guts seem like a mythic hero such as Hercules, Achilles, or Beowulf by showing how he was capable of accomplishing things no historic warrior could. So it could also be argued that the series is also a historically accurate representation of an ancient story about a mythic/legendary hero.
girls und panzer is the most accurate tank combat anime ever
Not exactly, although i have watched it and agree how epic it is. Especially Der Film, jehayrus i shat me'self watching that. Turbo on a tank, Pah! Giant arse ships that act as schools, PAH!
AP shells failing to do there very namesake because of apparently carbon plating on the inside, PAH! Deja Vu style drifting on a tank, not so pah.
Though i must say, some of the strategies used by lady Nishizumi (her name, right? i forget) are some things i can legitimately use in say, warthunder or world of tanks. Must get friends... must try it on Maus.
Isn't it the only tank combat anime?
@@haydnadkins5007
There are a few other anime centralised around tanks, mostly just military genre ones and fairly old from the 80s and 90s and fairly low budget too mind you.
@@DZ-1987 It's a joke.
@@haydnadkins5007 Yeah,but with one gender.
Never thought I would get an anime review off of your channel.
you can talk about native american weapons?
Yahiko zero Yeah, that would be really cool!
Yahiko zero that would be an interesting series, perhaps he could cover the regional diversity of weapons across the entirety of the americas? or just compile a series of unique tribal weapons from around the world. I would love to see the unique designs people had on offer.
V. V. Malazan i think will be cool talk about that,aztecs eagle warriors,others americans tribes things like that,american native culture is very very rich,but people just see european and japanese millitary history!
Yahiko zero and when it comes to japanese history, they don't even cover the good parts, just "omg katana wau samurai such power very fold such stronk". depressing.
also, why not chinese history? they had some fantastic tech and military doctrine. they're the central power of asia for the most part in history, don't see why we don't see more from them.
Christopher Yonemitsu yeah,people love samurais and medieval knights,they are really really cool,but chinese and others cultures have a nice history,I am from Brazil (hu3hu3uh3) and some native tribes here use poison in arrows.
I've watched this video way before (two years ago from now, I think?) and I would like to thank you for recommending this anime. I really enjoyed it. Not only were the battles realistic, but there's also a philosophical/religious battle that really got me. Thanks again!
I still wonder why some knights are depicted fighting without their visors down.
Sometimes they prioritized vision and hearing over the additional protection, as well as being able to breathe better with the visor up. Not the entire time, just depending on the situation.
+Skallagrim Oh, okay. I can picture that.
Another question, not related to helmets but I thought I would bring it up.
If my eyes don't fail me,the man-at-arms in blue Gambeson with Jack Chains attached, seem to have a dagger attached onto the upper section of each chain.
What's your opinion about that?
+Lackus Shock he doesn't. it's just the ties on the gambeson and the light making it look like there's something attached
+dynastyfu You have definitely not watched the anime.
He does have daggers on the Jack chains.
That must be established later on, because in the images, I do not see it, and I have watched a few episodes.
5:43 "Nah, sounds lame"
5:50 "NVM, WHERE CAN I WATCH THIS BEST ANIME EVER?"
The utter look of disappointment on skalls face when he said that was priceless 😂😂
0:22 Fucking Queen's Blade, haha.
BuFufilms hopeless but sexy fanservice
killer13324 At least Queen's Blade knows what it is.
rehwr yea but it can't bridge seasons 2 and 3
killer13324 considering the source comes from combat versus books, we're a bit lucky to have any bridging at all.
mercenary motivation, opportunism, looting, tactics, and inglorious wounds also add fetid medieval realism to the series.
one of the best series of 2015.
thanks for covering!
This dude got hardcore murderer eyes
Still subscribed cus its my jam
Breh
You've summed up perfectly why I love Akira and find it addictive; it's that mixture of gritty realistic detail and hypercharged scifi/fantasy elements. Everything from the clothing to a bureaucrat's clipboard to the bonzai tree in a politician's office to the police riot gear is meticulously detailed and realistic - which makes a perfect foil for the insane psychological horror and scifi weirdness when it happens. A film where everything is hypercharged, surreal and weightless is hard to invest in or believe; a film that's 90% grounded realism and 10% surreal madness makes those surreal elements much more memorable and convincing by using them sparingly. The contrast is what gives it zest. (Breaking Bad uses the same formula.)
Clearly Skall has not paid attention during history class, or else he would know all about Edward III's giant green war feline.
The magic makes sense from a historical fiction stand point actually. John of Arch is referenced many times in the hundred year war to have powers of a mystical persuasion. Granted most of her magic was said to be clairvoyance based, but she was even tried and burned as a witch at some point apparently. Belief in magic was alive and well during the time, so it's not totally far-fetched to include elements like this in such an anime.
Either way it's cool as hell. Thanks for the recommendation Skallagrim!
can you talk about the Trick Weapons of Bloodborne
***** Easy, *almost* all of them would break after one hit!
Don't be so rude. And some of them are really well designed and usable (in some transformation)
Kalaam Soulstealer Ludwigs holy blade(after some re-sizing, that is) actually seems like it could be a viable and interesting take if you could find some sort of way to lock the smaller sword in reliably.
***** I think that the gun-lance il also quite reliable. And the katana too. (exept for the... transformation methods, of course)
Kalaam Soulstealer
Well, the gun lance is really just a rifle with a stock replaced with a stick and a mechaism to slide the bayonet over the barrel. That actually sounds pretty simple to make
. I'm not much of a gun person, but it might be just a matter of cutting a slight notch into the barrel for the spear blade to be able to lock into.
I would recommend a manga called Wolfsmund. It is inspired by the independence of Swiss. The weapons, armor, and fighting style are drawn with great details and historically accurate, I assume. In later part it also includes an amazing seige with all the brilliant tactics for both attack and defense side. The whole manga is dark and brutal, just like medieval war.
I actually liked the fights and tactics in Arslan Senki
lol. the only reason i watched it is for how arslan will retake Ectbatana
Same!
Another bit of unexpected realism in that series is the metal arm the mercenary gets later. On that note, was that swordcatcher(?) used. That batman-esque armguard.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Götz_von_Berlichingen
Konstantin Urich Yeah, when I messaged about this, I mentioned the swordbreaker in the duel wich surprise me.
Never seen a swordbreaker in fiction until that point.
OnionSoda Also how they stationed that 500mm canon and used wet planks for the smaller ones.
For people interested: the dual is at the end of episode 5 and the siege/canon stuff is in episode 10. Just looked it up myself.
It feels like the creators really just wanted to tell the story of the 100 year war in there art style with how accurate it can be
Berserk isn't the most realistic anime to date, the Armor and the weapons are pretty good, but asides from that, it's your typical Dynasty warrior's sword goes though everything Anime.
Zone Tan “typical” more like original
Aside from guts you can go with it
Azrily Rhul Generally other than guts most of the people using swords are putting them through gaps in their opponents armor
I mean it has humans and those are real so you aren't wrong.
aside from Guts most of the fight is realistic until the eclipse at least after that it is pure fantasy.
they never threw their pommels 0/10
That, i believe was more of a duel thing.
Though i'd say 2/10, No Tabards. Or maybe there are... haven't watched it. Heck, which segment of the hundred years war is the anime depicting? Edward III's time ore the other git?
DZ r/wooosh
Throws pommel handle falls off swordsman damn.. worth it
End him rightly!
YES!!! just because the fights need to be flashy DOESN'T mean it has to be unrealistic!
The fact this has japanese subs is hillarious (yet fitting) and gives me the chance to say I still love this video just as I did when it was first released.
Studio Ghibli is pretty good for realism when it comes to weapons, other stuff like cat buses and fish people less so but weapons are pretty good :D
TheCrumpetCrusher Studio Ghibli films really are very good for mixing realism and fantasy, in fact the Wind Rises was literally an animated war time story with no hint of fantasy, I nearly cried!
TheCrumpetCrusher I really liked the fights in princess mononoke.
That's the first one I thought of :P
TheCrumpetCrusher The Wind Rises had excellent animation. (though that's typical of the studio). There is a sequence of a cover plate involving screws, hinge, etc. that is nearly as good as a CAD rendering. It's brief, but when I saw it, I was amazed.
violacrb Ikr, the quality of animation and detail from the that studio is astounding, by far some of the best animators I have seen.
Man you did a good job at convincing me to watch this anime even better than an official Anime Reviewer
the way of kali and kalaripayatu says that everything can be a weapon
I think anime authors are really passionate about what their anime is about, and that is really cool. Didn't see him end it rightly though.
I watched that anime a couple years ago and was indeed pretty interesting. I enjoyed the battle secuences and the characters were utterly cute really.
The Anime also depicted other aspect of medieval European life accurately as well. One thing I noticed is in episode 1, one of the female character use a drop spindle to make yarn. They way she use it is very accurate. Whoever made this anime took time and effort to research properly. Much less can be said about most modern movies and TV show nowadays.
I kinda wonder why you're surprised, in a way: Anime isn't a genre, really. It's a style - which can be (and is) used to make many different genres of movies and TV shows. Some are realistic, some aren't. Some are well researched, some aren't. It's just that Japan went into animated films more than into live action, in many ways - so their film industry is more focused around films in that style.
Daniel Staal actually, its more on Life-Action, than on anime, and it isnt a style, its cartoon from Japan, but basicly, your right.
Shut the fuck up stupid weeb bitch
I’d say anime is on the borderline between being a style and genre. Ur absolutely right about anime being able to have many different genres (even more than live action tv shows), but there is also a very mainstream type and perception of anime. Shows like dragon ball, naruto, attack on titan, and other unrealistic shows are the most representative of what’s commonly portrayed in anime and what is popular. So I could understand if someone were to be surprised if they found an anime that’s different or subverts typical tropes, etc.
Joe Smith well yeah but those are shounen. What hes found is most likely a seinen. Shounen aimed at teens. Seinen at adults.
Moreover. There are shounen with complex af stories and themes. For example one piece. It portrays themes such as slavery, piracy, oppression, politics, sacrifice, loss, war. Etc. And it does it very well in my opinion. Shows like naruto too and fullmetal alchemist. Along with the adventure side and the unrealistic yet epic battles. But they're still great shows and fun to watch. Tho imo some are classified as shounen when they shouldnt be.
@@ArabLenin stfu you piece of trash.
Episode 5 of this show is pretty good cause of the duel and its a relaistic duel because galfa uses a sword breaker on his "broken" arm and he also makes use of half swording to defeat the knight
I love the guy's pose on the left of the illustration at 3:54.
Hm interesting, thanks. Not sure how familiar you are with anime though cause anime is an incredibly rich art form that covers nearly every genre in nearly every way, many of 'm not at all overtly unrealistic. Though granted, yes most tend to be minor to majorly stylised, so it's an interesting find nonetheless.
Really depends on the anime director, seen many that make that extra effort with detail in various things like guns and how they used and then ones that don't
Henbot Jep. Categorising/characterising anime as a whole is nigh impossibru except that it has to be japanese animation.
+Skallagrim have you ever considered making video on what unconventional weapons would be great alternatives in medieval combat? *gets my cast iron skillet ready*
My impressions bout this anime after whole video: meh
My impressions bout this anime after last 8 seconds: *interesting*
tits and war?
is this the witcher?
I like how the archers gave the enemy the finger. I've been doing it that way since I was a kid.
this is the happiest that i ever seen him.
“Fantasy that isn’t completely high on PCP” that shit has me so dead bro lmao.
Not sure about the armor but the anime "Arslan Senki" shows sword guards and stances as well! I'm not sure about the timelines though, since it takes place in forth century and even still every nation has good steel.
I watched the anime because of this video. Thanks for sharing!
I personally hate small shields like the parma or buckler. It looks like it doesn't really look like it will protect you, I feel like a kite shield would do way more. I'm sure that parrying with the Buckler is easier, but....you know...eh.
Bucklers are actually pretty good. th-cam.com/video/WGbrNpuxHL0/w-d-xo.html
***** I see how the buckler is fast and not as heavy, and you made a lot of good points in the video. But if I (Personally) were a soldier, I'd be panicking if I was up against a large guy with a big axe, especially if I had a small metal buckler. I'd feel more comfortable if I had a sturdy kite shield. But yeah, if I was used to a buckler, and I knew how to be effective with it, heck yeah I would totally use it, I mean, look at Dark Souls 3 one shot weapons (I know....you can't stagger and enemy that much but you can at least knock their weapon out of the way, or stop the momentum.) I would be a beast on the battlefield, until I get skewered by a large spear... But yeah, if you are well trained in using the buckler then you would be a beast while using it.
The Game Lane it's called a backroll
The Game Lane Sure the man has a big ax and has reach but with the buckler its much easier to get within there guard and deny that person swinging space to use that ax effectively. A kite shield can work well to but due to its size its Harder to get inside the guard but on the other hand the kite shield offers more defence... while blocking more of you're eyesight and making you tire faster.... I could go on all night because I have experience and I can tell you allot of the disadvantages and advantages of each shield but I don't think either of us has the time for that!
Fair point
one of the best story telling elements of the popular anime JoJo is their constant use of true to life or close to life things that they incorporate into the story and narrative to make the tale seem more true and tie in with our lives
Alright, you've convinced me to watch 純潔のマリア
I’m surprised I recognized the anime by the thumbnail
nothing's better then working on steel plate armor and listening to Skall
I appreciate both your enthusiasm and a suggestion on another so far pretty great show to watch
didn't kingdom also portray war well
i mean sure 3d sucks ass in anime but i thought it had great strategy, and was based off of real events
yeah there is no way they could animate whole army using 2d art, so they had to use 3d. Have the read the manga continuing past season 2 because that is the best ark.
+DarkLord PoChan the arc where the first showed kanki was fucking epic, showed how badass everyone was
Honestly Kingdom is cutting some corners for entertainment value. Corners with horses and cliffs and people blocking arrows etc. Also some strategies are fairly ridiculous like that twister thingy Ribokou and Keisha used.
Still a good manga!
Check out berserk . A lot of the helmets you've featured in your videos show up and except for Guts oversized sword, even some of the weapons are quite accurate
Of all things, Maria series? That was unexpected.
The last 10 seconds sold me.
I fucking hate anime. But this stuff really looks fine in terms of fighting, as far as I can see.
***** uuuuh anime is just another form of entertainement, no need to call it cancer.
***** Yes you do.
***** Well, yeah, makes sence.
***** I guess you could call it like that, don't know why people are so negative about it sometimes
Yan Doroshenko It's just a medium of fiction, nothing more and nothing less.
so Skallagrim what do you think about an anime called Drifters, it's based in a fantasy world where they have collected alot of famous military leaders and fighters. Like Hannibal, Oda Nobunaga etc. They're also not strictly from the same time period either i'm just going to warn you, it's really violent haha.
amazing how you read a comment section and on every video there is a war. my opinion this is interesting I'll check it out.
3:34
Skallagrim: Come and get it, bitches!
I wonder if he has seen Berserk
Shadowclaw Gaming Probably. and the bfg likely turned hin of emmideatly.
So many Berserk fans here:3
Griffith Femto Fuck you Griffith
I've left without giving you a plus. then I had to watch it again :) great work
War was because (attempted) population increase was many times faster than food production increase. Hence, war and starvation.
Now I'm curious to hear what he'd say about Grimgar.
Have seen the anime/manga berserk? I feel that it's combat is pretty historically accurate (besides one HUGE inaccuracy )
I am playing a German pnp role play called dsa "the black eye" and I love it because the world and the weapons are like you were in the medieval europe
By the way: please correct my thousands of grammar mistakes in the comment
The real question on our minds is "was anyone ended rightly"
2:35 Ohhhh... Nice parry.
you can actually see the disgust in him
You should check out Goblin Slayer, they really play well around equipment having different uses, although it has fantasy elements aswell.
there's no way anyone could be so fucking overpowered like slayer irl. and how he moves fast in that suit armor lmao
Skal, have you seen The King yet?
Another anime that takes place with war and magic is izetta the last witch. A witch that fights in a alternate earth during World War II.
"Come and get it, bitches!" -the best insulting hand gesture ever
Holy queen blades batman! XD I love this channel now.
there is something that i have been wondering for a long time now, what armor does archers wear? can you do a video on that please?
has he reviewed the practicality of the scissor blade from Kill La Kill?
i dont know why i have been watching a lot of your vids in recommended, but i mean weapons, and anime, holy shit subscribed Xd
also Norwegian master race!(not implying race actually matters)
if you want an incredible sabre fight, go watch ogniem I mieczem (with fire and sword) wolodyjowski vs olbryski
might sound weird and I may have spelled it wrongly but its awesome
Maria the virgin witch is based on a game right? I was planning to watch it but I forgot, thanks for reminding me lol
Could you please make a video about the series the heroic legend of Arslan? It looked very realistic.
Hi skallagrim i recommend you read the manga KINGDOM is based on the Chinese warring states period its pretty gruesome a little over the top but mostly realistic, and i would also recommend toy read or watch VINLAND SAGA based on vikings they showcase a lot of viking weapons in this show phenomenal fights is pretty awesome. Hope you give them a try.
Hahaha Who knew!? :P Not super surprising though, given the huge variety of anime out there. Some anime is pretty right on with a lot of things. :)
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was berserk.
Leaving with a new anime to watch.
It's funny how in movies you see sword fights and the sword takes a lot of hits but then the sword has no knicks in the blade and the blade is dirty but no knicks imagine the knicks in the blades of medieval knights blades
I watched that anime after your suggestion, and I need to say it is pretty good with clothing choices. Now I can't say anything about weapons and fighting techniques because... i simply don't know about them, but i saw something very VERY frustrating at the last three or two episode; In the gothic style church of what appears to be an english citadel had the ceiling of Sistine Chapel. Firstly, it was supposed to be at Vatican. Secondly, the painter of the thing, Michelangelo Buonarotti wasn't probably born yet, even if he was, he probably was just a baby. So how the hell did Sistine Chapel's ceiling went to that gothic church, no idea. But it was a good anime anyways, just a minor mistake... :)
1:58 Rodoks from Mount and Blade.
Now Im here from Vinland Saga...
Gio Gio lol
Ok, going to have to check this anime out.
Most realistic fighting? THE DUELISTS!!
Anyone seen the beginning of Grimgar? The fights have weight and make more sense.
The issue with the copyright thing is that it works differently in japan. And since the anime is from japan, it falls in a grey area. And youtube, not wanting to make enemies of corporations, will choose the easy way out.
Okay, wait... Why did you start this video with creepy music and you holding an Axe XD
Berserk is another good one until the Dragonslayer happened.
Makes me wanna watch it, thaks for your input!
Am I the only one who thinks the old medieval manual drawings look funny? I mean in almost every depiction of someone getting killed the look on their face is just "Oh dear I appear to have a warhammer sticking out of my skull, what an inconvenience"
Severus Snape "this man appears to throw his pommel at me, what a sensible person"
Superdark33 "Oh dear sir you aren't supposed to hold the blade with your hands"
Severus Snape If you have a facebook account you should see the "Classical Art Memes" page, it's all about that. IMHO it's very funny!
Superdark33 Mortal Kombat, the Medieval edition:
"Finish Him Rightly!"
Severus Snape You trying to imply medieval people didn't act like that? Humbug.
