Look at this Yugioh card. Can you identify the knave?
Haha, is that Rance?

EDIT:

The guy on the ground. Unless you mean what he looks like and I guess if I had to pick someone would it be Kaiba?
To be fair, Rance looks a lot like Kaiba in Rance 1.

I'm happy you brought this up because I'm on Rance 3 and it's been pretty good.  1 and 2 were quite short though.

I lol'd. He appears to have a mustache, though. Probably a fake one that he figured was a perfect disguise.

Did any of you guys ever watch that anime Spider Riders? I remember seeing some of it when I was a kid but I turned away from it because of how different it was from the novels. It was actually really bizarre the way they changed it. Though I guess it was a demographics thing since the show was directed at a younger audience. I just suddenly felt like bringing it up.


Bleh, that reminds me of the complete 180 between the style, writing, and entire spirit of .hack//SIGN, versus .hack//Legend of The Twilight.



Same thing goes for Record of Lodoss War, versus RoLW: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight... and Rune Soldier Louie, which somehow managed to be set in the same universe.

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK IS NUMBER THREE NO WHY WHY WHY

Did they turn Orson into a woman?  I mean COME ON

EDIT: Okay.  Now I understand.  It does not singe the mighty name of Lodoss.

Be thankful that Deedlit and Parn never made it to the mainland of Alecrast. All that awaited them were endless fields of curvy Tenshi Muyo rejects, waiting for a naive man to fawn over.

And you know Deed would broke absolutely none of that shit. And Parn would be too busy looking for a dark prince to overthrow or something.

I'm nearly finished watching High school of the dead, and I found the one girl's fighting style (the spear one) to be quite intriguing, as I've never seen much spear use in media. Is there a more fighting-oriented series that uses such heavily?

Sengu Basara has one of the main characters use a spear... but otherwise not really.

Kyoko does in Madoka, but hers is sort of a magic chain-spear thing.

i am mad, i watched that whole Madoka Magica movie run and didn't get to see the sneak peek for the next movie. STILL it was a good rehash of the series.

I remember wondering why VNDB had tags for different types of weapon combat.  Now I know!

Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero (both only sort of).
Moribito (almost exclusively)

I can't think of any more at this time.

Might be sword fighting and exotic weaponry is more popular and shiny.  Even though spears are a bit more prevalent in military history.  Actually, it might be cause of that, spear type weapons are for the unwashed mooks and unskilled commoners who work as statues and serve to die.

Does Vagabond count?  There's a monk guy Musashi fights near the beginning who uses a spear (I THINK it's a spear).

It might just be a blunt stick.

To me it is likely that the Sword is considered the weapon of a hero.

Besides it isn't like spears have it worst off. How many Anime main characters use a mace as their main weapon?

If we count lances as spears then one of the major villains of Kenshin used one and was pretty much unbeatable with it.
