Scientific studies of Tenipuri, Kill No More manhua

[lucathia_rykatu]

Oh man, I had such a good laugh over this series of "scientific" analyses of Shin Tenipuri. If you know any Japanese, I highly recommend this. XD; These videos analyze things like how Tezuka zone works, how fast you'd have to move to hit 8 balls at once, what Atobe's eyes must be like for him to use Atobe Kingdom, how much Tanishi needs to exercise

Lolol I watched the Atobe analysis video and it was pretty awesome, even with me not understanding most of it. I like their comment at the end about how long Tezuka must have been sitting on that bench. I wondered that too!

Did you recognize the second piece of music they used in the Atobe video? I know I've heard it somewhere - I think it must be from a video game.

Hahaha, poor Tezuka! He must have been waiting for a long, long time. I laughed when that came up.

I think it's from Kingdom Hearts?

I think you're right! No wonder it struck me as Final Fantasy-ish but not quite Final Fantasy.

I didn't really venture too much in to manhua when I lived in Seoul (because they do sell some titles there), but some of the art is lovely.

I follow a handful of Taiwanese artists. Many have quite nice art. :D

Oh man that sounds hilarious! I'll have to watch it once I get home, hopefully I can understand XD

The videos are mostly text, but they are voiced! (with a hilarious sounding voice) Hope you'll be able to understand them. :)

Lol. Now you got me back-reading your posts.

Anyways, Thank you for giving me hope about Kill No More. I've been reading Japtem's translation of this series and have found it "meh" so far, a messy mish-mash of genres. Liola/Liaula seems way overpowered compared to the rest of the chars. I prefer Kaiser who is greedy and lazy, but will whip out the big guns, literally, if pushed. Sound familiar? ;)

Now you're all the way back in April. =P

I restarted Kill No More twice before I got past volume 2. The first two volumes were really, really... random. Things come together later on, though it might take some suspension of disbelief for the coincidences. I really like Liola. He grows a lot personality-wise throughout the series, but not much strength-wise since he does start the series already powerful. He pretty much did all of his training before the series has even begun, so he never really needs to spend any time on training during the series. However, he still lands himself in a ton of near death situations. It's quite impressive...

There always seems to be a character who is very big or tight on money, or is somewhat more whimsical or lazy in Yu Wo's works. LSK has Grisia, Kill No More has Kaiser, GOD has Shooting Star, 1/2 Prince has... Yu Lian (for the money part, at least)... Oh, I actually can't think of anyone for No Hero and Gong Hua. Heh, perhaps they break the mold.

I tend to hop around. Then I'll track back. :)

No Hero/Eclipse Hunter has Ezart. I think he was fighting for cash in some chapter. I guess all struggling writers have sympathy for the cash poor. And dreams about the super rich. ;)

Seems like a lot of random groups have picked up Yu Wo, so an english-only reader like me can read more. Happy-happy.

I didn't include him since Ezart comes across differently than those sly money-grubbers, haha. He feels like a mix of Earth and Blaze to me! The other people who like money are all much more manipulative... Very scary people.
