The Real Thing Or Just Not Possible??

[Nio zerP]

Which kind of anime would you prefer. A martial arts anime where they use skills alone and kick but or one where they have unnatural powers like chi and other abilities? What makes you chose?

[UnknownSoldier9]

I say one where they have skills that are slightly above human but no special powers. But i do watch anime of either style.

[Catwoman]

I'd most likely prefer the first one. :3

I kinda prefer when its unrealistic if im watching the anime just to amuse myself and watch fights. But for comedic or more serious animes, I prefer realistic ones.

[DrumRoll]

I prefer the second option but I like it to bee too over the top, as this usually leads to large amounts of shouting, flashing lights, explaining their special attack etc etc. This, ironically leads to a lack-lustre fight.

I think Kenichi TMD got the balance pretty well.

[Manifesto]

Somewhere in between but leaning towards more realistic, similar to Hajime no Ippo.

[Keisen]

Personally, I'd prefer a little bit of both without overdoing it. With unnatural powers, it tends to lead to flashy effects (which aren't bad) and with too much realism it gets a bit boring watching the kicks and punches.

Something in between, i mean if there are kicking and punching it has to be something that even i can't do. And not too much of natural abilities because this leads to characters that do not even have to train really really hard to go to the next level, what i mean is that some characters just rock up full of emotion to protect there friends and suddenly he/she is like an believably strong and defeats an opponent that has been training or fighting for ages.
