asta has a big sword
Caleb Stewart
This is not a sword. This is a choppa. I see no reason why this thing wouldn't break at the handle, but ork magic.
Wyatt Reyes
Too edgy.
No pun intended.

I wouldn't mind having anime adaptation of Klim Zhukov's "Emperor's Soldier" novel about an alien sent to medieval Europe disguised as a Landesknecht.
Zachary Cox
that sounds amazing
Isaiah Price
everyone made fun of it and then the people who liked it felt bad
Kayden Rodriguez
sounds horrible and pulpy
Mason Bailey

>sounds horrible and pulpy
It would be pulpy if it wouldn't be written well and if author wouldn't know shit about medieval period. Thankfully, author knows what he writes about and he does it quite good.
I got one extra "e", sorry.
First, it's alright when you have a sword about as tall as you are. It's realistic.
Second, if realismfags were in charge, we would see more sensible armour and weapon designs in fantasy.

Because Zabuza Sword cannot be beat.

You have to go back
Luis Cruz
Massive swords were used throughout history though.
Hudson Evans
They weren't.
Bentley Wright
Its literally magic; way down the line in the manga it displays a hidden ability to regrow any of its lost mass by converting blood into metal
Alexander Brooks
Okay
Caleb Sullivan
wait for kenpachi in the new bleach anime
Josiah Martin
kinda overused
Lucas Young
I just want an anime about medieval Europe with decent-looking swords and clothing (this means no overdesigned shit), fantasy elements kept to minimum and good storyline.
Elijah Clark
Because the size of a character's sword is directly proportional to the size of their pp
Says a lot about current year protags
Joshua Jones
nips realised it's even dumber than mecha
William Hall
The nips wank too much over their own history to ever produce anything like that. Closest we get is Berserk's Golden Age arc.

>Greatswords weren't a thing
They were literally developed as a counter to spear walls that were common in European infantry. The Scottish claymore is also an iconic weapon. They weren XBOGHUEG like in anime, because that's clearly fantasy, but to assert they have no basis in reality is idiotic
Tl:Dr ; you are a retard and a faggot
Ian Thompson
There was one decent one but I can't remember the name of it.

Massive swords like Zweihanders were only used in formations to push away or make an opening against pike formations, they were never used in normal combat like anime characters do.
Nathan James
Some big swords in Nier:Automata, Final Fantasy.
There's still some big swords
Anime is based in Japan. If you want this you need to get a western studio together that isn't BigMouth tier shit

>Massive swords like Zweihanders were only used in formations to push away
Not only in formations. Montantes were used as self-defence weapons, because italians and spanish people overcompensate. They had longer rapiers, huge pocket knives, and considered montante to be a good self-defence tool
Juan Fisher
Did somebody call?
