mwight Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) One of my RL friends told me Naruto in the comic book was learning qigong, so I decided to read it. Seems pretty cool. Edited September 28, 2008 by mwight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted September 28, 2008 One of my guilty pleasures is anime. Naruto often has a nice eastern jive to it. The Avatar is even better. For Manga its hard to top the old black and white series, Lone Wolf and Cub. It was made into a movie too, quite a long time ago. I think they've finished shooting the graphic novel 'Watchmen'. It was an amazing book. Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sloppy Zhang Posted September 28, 2008 There's a lot of Japanese manga/anime series out there that definitely has some interesting connections to martial arts and other forms of self cultivation. Sure it's a little bit blown out of proportion for the sake of cool fight sequences, but it's still nice to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwight Posted September 28, 2008 normally I wouldn't have posted anything about anime here on the bums, but the whole achieving death through stillness meditation really resonated with me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert Eagle Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) The following is called Hunter x Hunter, I think it's the precursor to naruto in some ways, the anime is better but here is the manga. Edited September 29, 2008 by Desert Eagle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sloppy Zhang Posted September 29, 2008 That's a cool bit from Hunter X Hunter I haven't seen much of that series, but it seems kind of interesting... And as long as we're pointing out series, the manga/anime Shaman King is quite good and talks about some interesting topics that may resonate/inspire a different viewpoint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as long as we're pointing out series, the manga/anime Shaman King is quite good and talks about some interesting topics that may resonate/inspire a different viewpoint. This is from Shaman King: The pre-birth "furyoku" sounds a lot like the life force or the pre-birth chi. Also the "death" he is talking about sounds a lot like deep meditation. Here is the training he goes trough: Sounds a lot like a deep meditative state, doesn't it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king Posted March 20, 2014 Shaman King looks pretty badass. My own guilty manga pleasure is One Piece. My 2 cents, Peace Oh, that one is really fun to read.
