seems like our Protag shoufukan bumps into another eccentric

Any tips for learning Chinese?

>>144210736
How do the hands and fingers work? Do the puppeteers swap arms every time they need a new pose or are there joints and articulations?

>>144211216
You don't. It is even harder than japanese

>>144210736
Is this a first or has there been blonde Taiwanese puppets before?

>>144211216
just don't skip kanji on your jp learning you lazy gaijin

>>144211719
And then what? Learn the Mandarin pronunciation for the characters?

>>144211618
I'd say Japanese is harder. As long as you aren't tone deaf you can learn Chinese well.

Hey, someone last night was asking where to download the movie Legend of the Sacred Stone and I didn't get to answer before the thread was deleted. I'm on my phone right now, but I uploaded it to Mega and will share the link in the active thread when I get home in 6 hours or so.

It's a Pili puppet movie that's subbed in English, for those wondering how it's relevant.

>>144211837
knowing enough kanji is enough to live a fulfilling /a/utist life
bonus point, if you know more kanji/classical chinese than average nip, you'll get to better enjoy those meme writer who throw in alot chink terms.

also, to get over shitty jp -> inggrish translation corruption.

>>144212311
Is the movie good?

>>144211618
Is it still hard if you just want to learn to talk, not read?

>>144211216
Beijing (Mandarin) 4 tones, Hokien 7 tones, and Cantonese 9 tones.
All of them can be written in Chinese characters but mostly when people write, they use Mandarin.
Good luck.

>>144211667
No, Taiwanese hate blondies.

>>144210736
chink official subbed release coming soon in 10 minutes. I'm gonna ride the tide soon.
what time CR releases?

>>144212369
What makes a language hard to learn is how closely it resembles your first language (ie English).

For example Chinese has a lot of ssss sounds. I don't know how to describe it. Like saying "what is this?" = "zhe shi she me" (english phonetics would be more: "zuh sih suh muh") You got 3 in a row. It's like a tongue twister. The nice thing is everything is 1 syllable though.

Compared to Japanese it shares the SVO english has instead of the SOV backwards feeling.

>>144212369
How do you plan to do that? I reckon you'd need to actually have real people who could teach you and you could practice with everyday. But I doubt it could be much faster anyway, might as well learn to read and write too.

>>144212325
Knowing Kanji doesn't tell me what ?還不知地便足鋭眼穿楊狩雲? means. I can get the meaning of parts but as a whole it eludes me. I can't even see any basic structure.

>>144212741
Either that's a slang or you're trying too hard.

>>144212596
Phonetically speaking, I think Chinese is a much harder language to learn than Japanese for Westerners.
The sounds just don't come naturally.
A lot of people could pronounce Japanese words with an acceptable accent at the first attempt, whereas it's much harder to make yourself understood in Chinese if you aren't a native speaker.

>>144212741
Yeah, you're better off learning Chinese and then gleaming Japanese not the other way around.

>>144212842
I tried to read the subs in >>144210736.

>>144212848
Yep this is what I was trying to say. It's hard to say without sounding like my mouth is full of cotton sometimes.

>>144212880
Apparently it means "You don't even know that he is 銳眼穿楊(his title or something, describing a sharpshooter) 狩雲霄(his name)".

>>144212880
>I tried to read the subs in >>144210736 (OP).
You made multiple character errors, but I can't blame you. It is hard if you are not native.

>>144212953
Adding to the difficulty is also the fact that Chinese seems to have a lot of similar sounds, e.g. there's "qing"s, "ding"s, "jing"s and the like, with four different accents that could each mean multiple things.
I'm a chink that's grown up abroad and I often have trouble remembering Chinese names because they're often a mouthful.

>>144213296
Beats Japanese where things sound the name and mean different things.
Or are written the same but mean completely different meanings and readings.

>>144213296
I still think it's easier than Japanese. 1 script vs 3 and each kanji is 1 syllable unlike Japanese where it varies and may have multiple readings.

But I believe speaking Japanese, in the literal sense, is definitely easier once you get the hang of it plus there's incentive. With Japanese you do it for the anime, manga, and games.

Stop making chinese posts, this is a japanese show we're talking about
>>>/int/

>>144213378
IIRC that happens in Chinese too.

NOT ANIME FUCK OFF

The subs happen to be CHINK because at the time I post there's only chink subbed available.

now stop all the CHINESE SHITposting and get back to the show itself

>>144213508
>get back to the show

I'm an EOP and the subs aren't out yet. Can't speak about shit.

>>144213070
I tried to read it as Kanji to the best of my ability. I'm not familiar with characters like 銳 so I can only make guesses.

>>144213439
But it has a manga now
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-07-15/thunderbolt-fantasy-puppet-series-gets-manga-by-complex-age-yui-sakuma/.104308

When will the raw version be up?

>>144213877
I think he meant writing 地 instead of 他 and 足instead of 是

Like, actual character recognition errors. 是 doesn't appear in nip so it's understandable but I'm surprised about 他.

TLing fantasy names is a pain so don't bother.

>>144214028
Every shit has a manga. It's really not an argument for anything.

The chuuni poem of the week is here.

「雙目不能視物，隻眼能望千里。凝吾眸光成箭，奪人不避之命。」

JP Translation ：双眸をもって何も見えない者もいれば、隻眼にて千里を見通す者もいる。
私が目を凝らせばその視線は矢となり、逃げ切れぬ者の命を奪い取る。

Translate it for us, chinkbros.

>>144214056
I guess it wasn't the best of my ability after all or I should have proofread.
Maybe I anticipated some context such as an unknown land.

>>144214063
/a/ anime & MANGA

>>144214478
Unless you're going to post and discuss the manga it doesn't change anything.
It's not /a/ - anime & things that have a manga adaption.

>>144214547
People discuss the source LNs of stuff adapted to anime/manga all the time

>>144214673
Never try to justify your own actions with the deeds of others.

>>144214358
双目は物を見えず
隻眼が千里を望む
吾が眸の光を凝らせと箭と成り

it's perfectly logical to read it the kundoku way.

>>there are people who can't see shit with two eye.
>>yet there are one-eyed who see miles ahead.
>>my sharp sight condensed into arrow,
>>that takes life of those who couldn't escape(from me) .

>>144214358
You're better off asking a moonrune reader to translate the Japanese.

Why are you so butthurt abou puppets?
Seriously, you are just prejudiced and nothing I say'll actually change your mind. If it wasn't allowed, mods would have done something about it by now. You aren't a mod, so you can fuck off with your "not anime" bullshit. You are in no position to decide what isn't allowed in /a/

unlike kor or viet or other gooks, you actually get to see the exact kanji-s in the sub, which is quite enough to hint on the orig words.

heh. Actually, citing precendence is and can be a valid component of a reasonable argument.

I hope the jap name subs don't take too long.

>>144216281
The precedence would be "moot/hiroyuki said so before" not "the other guy got away with it".

Why don't Chinese have a simplified alphabet for foreign/simple words?

I love hotikeiki!

>>144216772
>Why don't Chinese have a simplified alphabet for foreign/simple words?
Because Chinese doesn't have ANY alphabet. You want alphabet, try Japanese.

>>144216840
What? They do.

>>144217111
>What? They do.
Pin-Yin isn't an alphabet.

>>144217111
Isn't the chink simplified just the post-mao one?

>>144216840
>>144217111
>>144217522
>>144217527

Pinyin is just an intonation guide for Mandarin reading, it is not an alphabet.

Mao pushed out a simplified set of commonly used characters, which differs somewhat drastically to the form that's been in use for about 1800 years, around the time of Latin Dominate and nearing to the point of Three Kingdoms.

>>144217111
Pinyin isn't an alphabet. It's literally a crutch using English alphabets to help learners with Chinese pronunciation.

>>144218036
>>144217706
Chinese is really a written language. The spoken dialects are so different to each other than it's as unintelligible as say Spanish is to a Pole. Tibetan is the most different, being as different as Hungarian is to everyone else in Europe.

There's no easy way around it. You have to understand the language from the context of characters.

Foreign words and concepts are rendered either with approximation of characters based on sound (which means that the combination differs depending on the dialect) or by compounding characters base on meaning (which means that you differ in translation based on regime)

>>144218229
The second video has some really cool effects.

>>144216840
Both the Japanese and the Chinese use the Latin alphabet, like we do. It's just that the Japanese are a lot more used to.

>>144218743
No. Not like you do.
The Chinese pinyin has intonation marks which you don't have, and the Japanese doesn't have it either. Your languages aren't tonal languages for one.
Cantonese Pinyin is different from Mandarin Pinyin due to them having 7 tones while mandarin have 5.

Writing a line in pinyin is not worth shit to a chinese reader.

The whole language is context clues and memorization. Old Chinese promeme is grass mud horse, which is also go fuck your mom. Same tone, same syllables. The whole language is like this. No way to peice together a word either. Family is broken down into roof and pig

This is the pinnacle of being a hipster on /a/.

Yes

I love how this show has the most decent coherent discussion of all things right now. Like really low ratio of people just saying the stupidest shit imaginable

>>144219237
Yes, I understand what you say. I should have added that the Latin alphabet is used by them both (maybe as a complement?), but isn't enough as a medium to write in their languages.

Kanji uses mostly Traditional Chinese(Japan have their own version of simplified Kanji). Two traditional might share same simplified. For example 乾妹妹(adopted sister?) and 幹妹妹(fuck sister) is 干妹妹 in simplified. It can get confusing for beginners.

Not quite. The anime calls itself Legend when it's actually Return of the Condor Heroes, which is Part 2 of the Condor Heroes Trilogy.

A quick google and the cheapest is 10 USD not including shipping.

>>144241039
>I just realized this guy said "chance" in Engrish. Seems out of place in this setting, don't Japs have a word of their own for that?
It is likely they might have used that word to shorten the dialogue. It is noted that the Japanese script has trouble fitting the lines in before the scene changes.
(And of course, the original Japanese script had too much dialogue and the Butcher was told to cut it shorter. The dolls have limited facial expressions so long monologues look horrible on screen.)

It is also amusing that Butcher originally designed too many different unique areas, which was not a problem in anime because they are just background art. But in Puppetry it means physically building the film sets, and changes had to be made to get around that.

That sort of explains why the pipe guy was sitting under the same tree for the start and finish of the chapter. It allows them to not waste that set which would otherwise not get used again.

Just curious, do they ever make reproductions of these dolls as merchandise?

>>144240153

>Just curious, do they ever make reproductions of these dolls as merchandise?
I HAVE seen physical shops selling them. The ones with the classic TV series at least. However all the online stores haven't had any in stock for years. The Pili official site haven't had any for a while.

The real deal is so expensive that it is unlikely to be mass produced. The ones you get to buy are likely plastic instead of wood.

>>144210736
Is this show dubbed in Japanese or Chinese? Where would you even find the original dubbed version?

>>144241674
>Is this show dubbed in Japanese or Chinese? Where would you even find the original dubbed version?
Pili traditionally record the Taiwanese before the filming starts, while Japan traditionally dubs the dialogue after the show is already filmed. So they ended up doing both; Pili did their Taiwanese dub, film the show using their own dub as the basis, then send it to Japan where they add the Japanese dub on top of it.

Right now I have trouble finding the original Taiwanese dub. It seems even the version released in Mainland China is dubbed in Japanese.

(There is apparently some controversy with the Taiwanese dub, as they used the son of the original voice actor instead of the same guy who had been used for decades. And as usual the son is being treated critically as not being as good as his dad. Not very fair for him.)

>>144241405
It's weird because they could have just used 機会 which means the same thing as "chance" and is also two syllables in Japanese.

>>144241887
Hopefully that shows up eventually. The Japanese dub is servicable, but Chinese will definitely make it worth watching again for authenticity purposes.

Part 3 is a lot more complicated. Set decades after Part 2. It's all related to the blacksword of Part 2. Before beginning of plot, Le blackswordsman split it into 2(Heavenly Sword/Dragon Sabre), and self-inserted a kung fu manual and a cheatsheet version of Sun Zi's Art of War into the swords, and everybody wants them though most of them don't know they have kung fu and cheatsheet in them.

>That sort of character would usually be the villain in a butcher show. He uses Kuuga's color coding, The villain dressed in white while the MC is dressed in black.
Well the fact is he is famous enough for the villain to know him. And of course the upcoming demoness hates his guts.

I say he is good enough as a person, he just rather someone else be the hero in his stead. Making him questionable is a way to justify why he is so overpowered.

>>144247086
That depends if the story is committed to the classic fantasy formula or not.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of really fucked up stuff in wuxia. I remember Louis Cha's books...

The MC goes on an adventure, meets a cute girl, decides to marry her and invites her over to meet his family. The during dinner conversation his dad suddenly forbids them from marrying because he discovers that the girl's mother is someone he porked way back when, and there's a high chance she's his half sister.

The MC gets understandably pissed off and runs away in despair, gets into some accidents and is rescued by another girl. More adventures ensure and then he founds out this girl is ALSO a half-sister, because MC's dad was a fucking manwhore who cheated on his wife all the damn time.

And then this keeps happening, the MC has like a harem of girls who all likes him and they keep turning out to be his half sisters.

And then at the end of the story...
MC's mom reveals to him on her death bed that since Dad kept cheating on her, she cucked him hard and MC is not actually his son, thus he could marry his whole harem and not worry about any incest.

Except that I'm pretty sure she cucked old Dad with his brother, so they're still cousins! But I guess that level of incest was okay in ancient china.

>>144247563
>the big brother wanted to fuck Tanhi
>the siblings souls get infused in the magic sword
>everything went according to his plan
>Kikokugai 2: Wuxia Boogaloo

>>144246780
Well, it depends on your taste. Part 2 is basically a battle harem with an asshole super smart protagonist. Some highlights include learning martial arts by sparring with a giant condor. Said condor used to be pals with some long dead martial artist so the condor was one of the two only beings who know the martial arts he left behind. The other person is the MC of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer - aka the work where G Gundam's Master Asia/ Touhou Fuhai is from.

Another wuxia bullshit would be how the MC invented a martial art that only works when he's depressed. So when he got reunited with his waifu, he can't use that move anymore.

Part 3 is basically battle harem again, but this time you get your indecisive harem. However, this time, there's a yandere in his harem.

Personally, I enjoy them.

Also this >>144245125

>wait shit they're all my cousins
>wait shit, no they aren't cousins after all
>yeah, I get to fuck them all like I wanted.

Oh, and that work also has a literal loli baba in that some women practised some martial art that caused her to turn back to loli for a certain period of time in a year.

I think we're all just stuck loving everything he does so its more of a matter of trying to excuse the parts you don't like or the series you aren't into rather than taking it out on Gen himself.
>>144247728
that one about that guy who thinks everyone at his school that is trying to fuck him is his sister was pretty close, my sister is among them or something
>>144247774
lolibabas had to come from somewhere
japan couldn't just invent that shit out of thin air

>>144247555
Speaking of Urobuchi and Condor Hero, there's also an old master who basically managed to build some bullshit maze to prevent intruders from entering his home. The author handwave some crap about his mastery of chinese astrology/ feng shui such that the terrain can supposedly 'move around' to confound people in the maze. Not sure if it's meant to be taken literally or metaphorically, but in tv adaptation just go the easy route and literally have trees moving around to block paths.

In other words, the old master has a freaking reality marble.

It's had at least 5 TV series, 3 movies, and several video games. I think if Japan wanted to make an anime they could've. Probably not gonna happen.

I think his works are tame and not as weird or controversial compared to Gu Long.

One of his work's premise is that the protagonist is raised in a den for criminals and his guardians include a gender bender, a cannibal and some other prolific killers who raise him with the plan of turning him into the biggest villain there is. Another work by him also features the protagonist committing adultery since the main female interest is already married.

>>144247902
I figure that basically if you're in chinese fiction you either have superpowers that you gained through drugs/ancient scrolls that no one else knows, a random screaming peasant about to get fucked by said demigod sage, or some powerful official with an army at your back and martial arts skills that could easily be fucking magic anyways.

>>144247930
I wish butch would write some fanfiction of it, but he seems more into Gu long stories.

>>144248011
Title of the villain one? Sounds pretty great.

Take your shit to >>/toy/, retards

>>144248058
looks like Jue Dai Shuang Jiao by Gu Long
summary sounds like shit though
>>144248094
we anime now

>>144232715
I've seen both G Gundam and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. What's the reference you're talking about?

>>144248029
I think Gu Long might be more up Nisio's alley. His style is actually pretty similar to Nisio: strong emphasis on witty (or at least perceived as such) conversations and banter, random philosophical musings etc.

This is what I found surprising though. There's definitely interest of wuxia in Japan. The novels by Jin Yong (Not sure about Gu Long and Liang Yusheng) are available in Japanese and have quite a few different releases, including one with anime-ish illustrations and of course, as mentioned, there's people like Imagawa or Strongest Disciple Kenichi's author who clearly like the genre and yet there's very little actual adaptation of the novels.

At the very least, I think Nisio fags would enjoy Gu Long's works.

>>144248178
Well, Gu Long is more about the character interactions. The story tend to be more of a background thing, or at least there isn't quite as much plot focus than Jin Yong.

>As there are those who see nothing with both eyes,
>there are those who can see vast distances with one.
>My gaze is the path of an arrow,
>piercing those who fail to turn away.

So chuuni.

>>144248197
The literally faggot villain whose name is 東方不敗. You know what's the Japanese reading for that? Touhou Fuhai - Undefeated of the East.

Gu long and Liang Yusheng are also available in japanese, Urobuchi mentioned that he read their books and his chinese isn't that good.

Which movie version of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer should I watch?

>>144248295
Now I'm actually curious if Nisio have read Gu Long's works as well, because I personally found Katanagatari to be pretty close to his 7 weapons series. And of course, the writing style, which as said, kind of resembles the sort of banter in monogatari.

>>144248254
does he kill mechs with scarfs? I didn't think so
>>144248250
When you have one eye and spend all day sniping people with your magic bow and have a name like One Eyed Impaler and can kill people with arrows you predict the trajectory of through an entire wuxia fight in close combat I think you've earned your chuuni lines
>>144248360
He's nishio, if he didn't I'd be surprised. Or at least something influenced by it.

half the time im laughing because it seems like its just a guy playing with toys making noises with his mouth

the other half its badass and visually impressive

a perfect combination

>>144248254
Ah, I see. Thanks.

>>144248301
>movie version
I'd recommend watching the 2001 TV adaptation "Laughing in the Wind / Smiling Proud Wanderer".

The notable movies are the trilogy, The Swordsman 1990, Swordsman 2 and The East Is Red, though they sort of do their own things (the plot is radically different from the novels). So if you want to get the actual story that's much more faithful to the novels, you're better off checking out the TV series. I'm not sure about the recent adaptation though I did enjoy the 2000 series made by Singapore.

Thanks a lot.

>>144248301
Also, just a heads up, but the show starts off really slow and you'll have to push through several episodes, but once the actual story starts going, it's great.

>>144248504
Is that TV show subbed in English?

>>144248524
No problem, I often enjoy slow shows.

>>144247774
More like his sisters

>>144248549
I'm not sure, sorry.

I only read HK comic adaptations of those stories, how faithful were those comics.
