What if Madra Uchiha wasn't want to launch infinite tsukuyomi?

I think its really cool how dragonball series has displayed powerful techniques like meditation, and even a bit of yoga! (i saw broly trying to do tree pose in the manga). Broly In Tree Pose The technique of meditation has always been around but it's is something characters like Vegeta need to progress on their path as a martial artist. Goku used to meditate when he was younger, Tien did too, and Piccolo meditates in DBZ alot. Vegeta is really smart because he realizes that their bodies have been trained to the maximum but now they must strengthen their minds through mental training.. In real life, meditation is used to calm ones mind/body and can be used to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Its insane that Akira Toriyama (RIP) knew a good amount of concepts on meditation. Stuff like half lotus, Burmese pose and full lotus are used in the show. When Jiren Meditated he used full lotus, a pose that has ones feet near their thighs to go into deep states of meditation. Jiren: Full Lotus and using cosmic Mudra Full Lotus Usually masters of meditation use this pose and beginners use Burmese pose. They even use the mudra or Dhyana mudra instead of the popular "Chin" mudra or hand seal thats quite popular. -Goku & Meditation Goku in Particular is using mindfulness and basic meditation to calm himself in the manga. As Ultra Instinct is Highly Difficult to get into unless one meditates. Goku has been seen meditating in Dragonball Super Anime although its not while sitting. He is using the technique called mindfulness to be aware of his thoughts, feelings, and environment before the assassin Hit tried to kill him. All day, 24/7 And if you don't know, mindfulness is a real meditation technique that can be used whenever you want. You can be anywhere and use mindfulness. Once again, Its when you focus on being aware of everything within and around you, in the present time that is. Also, Zen Buddhist monks use mindfulness to cultivate an advanced state of awareness called Mushin..... A Mind State that inspired Ultra Instinct. I might talk about Mushin eventually in another post.

Dear Anime Producers and Creators, We are a group of lovers of the manga "Shamo" by Izo Hashimoto and Akio Tanaka who dream of this unique story being turned into an anime. "Shamo" is one of those manga that moves deeply and offers an unforgettable story about the transformation of the main character, Ryo Narushima, in the world of martial arts. The manga "Shamo" has gained enormous popularity around the world due to its dark and emotionally charged plot and insightful approach to character psychology. It is a story about pain, rejection and transformation that attracts readers with its authenticity. That's why we appeal to you to consider creating an anime based on the manga "Shamo". We believe that such an adaptation could provide unforgettable moments for viewers, conveying the depth and value of the original story. By signing this petition, we express our full support for the "Shamo" anime adaptation project. We believe that this is an opportunity to share this unique story with a wide audience and appreciate its artistic and emotional value. https://www.change.org/my_shamo_link Thank you for considering our request and committing to creating an anime that can inspire and touch the hearts of many people around the world.

This long forgotten gem was never adapted into an anime but, it probably should have been. Myself and maybe one or two other people are probably the only ones here that even remember playing this now obscure 2-D fighter on the 16-Bit Megadrive. According to what I read, there were more sequels planned after "Challenge From the Dark Side" was released for the Mega-CD console, but Sega of Japan in their infinite wisdom decided to force an early end to the project in favor of its "Virtua Fighter" franchise - go and figure that out. Although I have never played the sequel, I have many fond memories of the first one. More than being simply an enjoyable electronic game, it was a work of art in many more ways than just one. The fact that the box art was done by legendary artists Boris Vallejo & Julie Bell certainly did not hurt. The premise of the story was very unconventional. Basically it goes, an omniscient alien being from the future with super cosmic powers known simply as "The Eternal Champion" grants a second chance at life to nine different fighters from different time periods who met an early death before they could change history for the better and save the world by averting the extinction level cataclysm that the Champion himself seeks to prevent. The Eternal Champion has the fighters compete against each other for the right to face him in combat and determine whether they are worthy of being allowed to return to their original time and be allowed to live out a full life to offset the negative changes which culminate in disaster. Unlike most fighting games of that era, nobody in the first title was actually evil; there were no equivalent counterparts to Shao Kahn or M. Bison storywise. The Eternal Champion himself is legitimately my least favorite final boss to fight against in any of the fighters that I have played. Not only must the player defeat the Eternal Champion in his several different forms during the same round but, the player's health points are only partially replenished between each part of the fight. If the player lost two rounds against the Eternal Champion, there would be no continues and it would be game over -- followed by the Eternal Champion lamenting in despair of how his expectations were not met while informing the player that the world is doomed and that it was their own failure to pass his test that caused it. I never became good enough where I could beat the Eternal Champion. The time travel theme is something that few other fighting game franchises used. "Time Killers" and ADK's "World Heroes" ( later acquired by SNK/Neo Geo ) were the only other two from the 16-Bit Era ( that I can name ) that used this motif. To a lesser extent, the development team from "Killer Instinct" experimented with the concept when the sequel "Killer Instinct 2" ( aka "Killer Instinct Gold" ) was released for the Nintendo 64 in the late '90s. ( EDIT: Eternal Champions was actually adapted into a comic in the issues of the official Sega publication, "Sonic the Comic", which was exclusive to the UK. The story loosely followed the lore of the game. Details here. ) I still remember my first time playing this, it would show some random character from the cast appear and smash the Sega logo before the title screen started - I always thought that was so cool. Aside from the story concept and art direction, I also really enjoyed the background music. It was some of the best ever used for a chiptune. I was delighted to learn that someone actually made remixes of them in just the past few months of my writing this. As good as some of these remixes are, I still don't feel that they necessarily replace the originals - they are an addition to them. I never much cared for Larcen's stage theme, so that might be one exception for me. Some of the songs which were great in their original chiptune form did not translate as well in the new style, so I will be omitting those. You can listen to the original chiptunes here. The artist, Hyde209, not only does covers of video game music, he is also an accomplished graphic artist as well. If you enjoy this, be sure and check him out. The first remix video is the theme from the database of the game's character bios. Hyde provides abridged versions of each of the characters' backstories. The second is of the game's main menu theme. This one is a remix of the Battle Room theme. Undoubtedly, I would have to say Jonathan Blade's stage theme was my favorite one in chiptune. This remix actually captures the spirit of the original the best out of all the iterations of it that Hyde has done, though it is still missing that whirring noise that drones in the background for most of the song on the Megadrive. Hyde did a much older metal version of this song that is also really good -- link here. He also did a couple of others that were more ambitious but, didn't strike my fancy as much - one of them a collab with a friend of his. Larcen's stage theme was my least favorite out of all the chiptunes...somehow Hyde turned this otherwise unremarkable ( and unoriginal ) song into something that's awesome. To be honest, every remix Hyde has done of Shadow's theme is great but, I think this one actually sounds the most like the original; thus, it is my favorite remixed version of it. The scantily clad blonde vixen from the cover art! Jetta Maxx is easily my waifu when it comes to anything EC. Her theme song was also one of my favorites from the original game. Out of all of Hyde's remixes of her theme, this one is my personal favorite and the only one I will feature here. Growing up, I was a Xavier main. Xavier Pendragon was my favorite character from the game and the one that I most empathized with -- he realized all too late that he had cast his pearls before swine when they burned him at the stake. Historically, I believe those accused of witchcraft were actually hanged instead of burned; the accused were still just as dead though. Each of Hyde's Eternal Champions Tribute albums has a cover of Xavier's stage theme. Although the version from his latest album "Resynthesized" sounds much more like the original, this older metal version is just so cool that I actually prefer it over the other ones. It's that kind of awesome... I have always loved shows and films where both the prehistoric and futuristic would come together. I honestly wasn't sure whether to feature Slash's stage theme remix. It's really more like music to set the mood than something made for musical enjoyment. In any case, this one is most faithful to the original and largely succeeds in capturing that feeling. The game's final boss had a pretty wicked tune even in its original 16-Bit form. I honestly think that I might like this one better than the original version. I really like the way this one turned out. The different remixes Hyde has done of Trident's theme are all so good that he is the only character whom all different theme song iterations thereof will be included here. All three have uniquely different sound qualities that set them apart as their own thing. Hyde's album "The Second Chance" included radio drama style voice acting bits relating to the deaths of each character. Out of the three, the remix from "Resynthesized" ( the first one down below ) sounds the most like the original version. I decided not to even bother with the themes of R.A.X. or Midknight because neither were as good as they should have been with modern hardware - especially Midknight's; it's a shame because Midknight's stage was one of my favorites in the game. The remix of the bad ending. And finally...the remix of the good ending.

Any one here that can recommend any anime that has a savage thot slayer? ex. Grisaia no Kajitsu. The MC here is open to sexual affairs, is cool as frozen hell and has a dark past.

you know how hunter x hunter has a way of making the fights super technical and SMART as well as filled with super natural things and super powers? I'm trying to find an anime like that but i havent been able to! Growing up, Naruto gave me similar vibes, the fights also had depth and intellect and strategies within strategies all being explained while they tell you what the characters are thinking. Most fighting animes dont have that and thats mainly why i LOVE hunter x hunter so much. If anyone knows any similar animes please share! unh

Sorry it has been awhile work has gotten me so busy. Anyways wanted to talk about something new I watched recently called Black Fox. Who doesn't love a badass female woman. It starts off nice and sweet. As the main protagonist Rikka Isurugi is the gra ndchild of the Isurugi clan of ninja warriors. Her father is scientist who wanted to go a different route from having to kill. She trains with her grandfather but like her father she rather help than hurt. However after growing up and returning to tell them some good news her world is shattered and well she decides to take up the role of avenger. She changes her name and begins her quest and well I leave the rest for you to watch. Can't give it all the way. If you are a sappy person like me make sure you have tissue handy there are a few cry moments in there. I give this a thumbs up I hope they make it into a series. Right now there is movie/ova. P.S. I totally want to cosplay this.
