YALL SEE HOW MADHOUSE INC PRODUCES MIRACLES??????? LOOK AT THE ANIMATION
GOD
THERE’S NO FUCKING WAY I’M MISSING THIS NOW.
anime is saved
I’m literally brought to near tears when i realize how much this work has grown.
In 2009 the series started as a webcomic self-published and drawn by author under the moniker “ONE”. (Chapter 17)
↓
In 2012 the series garned so much attention it was later redrawn in manga format by Murata Yuusuke (Eyeshield 21).(Chapter 18)
↓
And finally in 2015 the series became so popular in got an anime. So over the course of 6 years, ONE went from a modest webcomic artist as a side hobby to a well recieved author with both a manga and an anime.

While you may be running down hard on yourself for quality- or unsure if you should bother pursuing your simple talents- there’s always a chance that one of your talent- even the ones you might not think of- could amass something great.

I just reblogged this but i felt the need to mention: animation runs at 24 frames per second and depending on the style, it can be shot with each image held for one frame, 2 frames, or 3 frames.
Animated movies like Disney’s work are done on 1′s, but it’s extremely time consuming and expensive to do. American cartoons that you see on TV are generally drawn on 2′s to save time, money, and effort. Japanese animation is generally done on 3′s because it’s easiest and cheapest and they’ve mastered ways to make cheap but still appealing animation.
I’m mentioning this all right now because I want to make something very clear:
this entire sequence is drawn on 1′s.

A nice look at Panantukan (Filipino Boxing) one of the many disciplines under the umbrella art of Kali, Panantukan is the emptyhand application of the stick techniques you would see in kali or escrima. Focusing heavily on limb destruction and taking over your opponents space it is a very effective and realistic martial art. Contrary to what some would believe Kali and Escrima are not limited to sticks. Sticks, knives, grappling, punching, kicking, flexible and improvised weapons are all part of the systems. This is just one of the many aspects encompassed in those arts and a personal favorite of mine. Wonderfully fluid and devestating effective here’s a good look at some of the things you might see in Panantukan. Partly why I believe the most comprehensive martial art to learn for self defense in Kali due to the wide variety of basis it covers in such realistic fashion.
When we run into the age old debate of which martial art is effective or who’s better than who, we often leave out one of the most important components, context.
Context will either place a valid martial art (applicable in combat and more…) as incomplete or ineffective when comparing it generally to another completely different contextual art. Like for example, saying Iaido is useless in the cage. This is not an untrue statement, if you took the sword out of their hands and dropped them into a cage match and rang the bell, I don’t think they can adapt to the guy who has spent hours of training in the cage. However, put the sword back in their hands in the cage and you’ve got a completely different picture, and a morbid one at that.
Simply put, those two are not made to be in competition with each other, not to mention MMA is a mixture of martial arts, selecting what’s best for in the ring, which easily translates over to what is necessary in most other types of fighting. Since there’s no swords in the ring there’s no need for fighters to learn the weapon. With that said, it also doesn’t mean that training with the weapon wouldn’t benefit them either. Whether it is heightened focus, or a more in-depth understanding of distance and angle, with the right mindset and serious training, the martial artist can benefit from all sorts of training.
Another way context is missed is when an art has a specific type of training, like push hands, or chi sau, that can be misunderstood by the general public. It’s usefulness can also be completely misunderstood internally and schools their students will devote their entire training to excel at that particular drill. This again, is really not a bad thing, one learns many lessons on the journey to mastery whether it be of movement or interaction, so a benefit will be there. However, such a hyperfocus removes the big picture of combat. This results in a student believing in techniques that work at a particular speed or forum to be universally effective which can be very dangerous. Take, for example, compliance when drilling joint locks. Compliance keeps both martial artists safe, but the lack of aggressive tension and spontaneous movement from Uke can leave Tori a variety of other available attack variations. Tori can explore, but will most likely find that there are a lot less options when Uke is trying to get out of a lock, fight a throw, or aggressively strike back.
Looking at it that way makes it seem like the training is unrealistic an invalid, but it is not. Compliance training, Uke and Tori, those are important to help a martial artist recognize options in the heat of the moment. Push hands and chi sau allow the martial artist to read an opponent after making contact, to better prepare them for those moments in the scuffle.They each possess a specific piece of combat in them.
All are valid, but at the same time cannot be compared to each other. Each is a piece of the puzzle, some will fit easily into the big picture, some need to ease into place, and others need to be forced or modified to fit, but all go back to the same big picture, and a pretty nice one if you ask me.
So instead of comparing art to art, drill to drill, look at the context and try to connect it to the big picture. You will find we’re all moving in the right direction.
