Space Yamato

Space Yamato
Can you identify this movie Japanese-American for me?

Around 1986, maybe later I remember watching this amazing style drawings animated Japanese science fiction manga but without setting it in space, and the topic was very adult, I remember a scene where there was a dance on the boat and the characters well dressed and danced, but that's all I remember, can anyone shed some light? It wasn't battle of the planets or Yamato, which could have been the railroad galaxy, but do not think so?? please help, thanks

Not railroads galaxy, but the description is too ethereal for me to provide assistance

Before the Katana

In the twelfth century the favorite style of the leaf was the Tachi, who was slug by two hooks at the left edge person down. This position allowed the samurai to draw the blade from groin to head. Later, the fighting style evolved and replaced the tachi katana as a weapon preferd. The Tachi is still in use but reduced capacity. The golden age of the decision sheet (1294-1427) that was also the golden age of Tachi

The tachi was more often in the Lords of war and the generals as a highly decorated blade showing their position and power in society. Also for practical reasons, the blade was more curved and made more effective for them to cut down, the horse to their enemies. When, half the samurai will fight standing. During this period of five schools to make famous bar is raised, its location based on proximity to the need for swords (administration centers), easy access to minerals and coal, an abundant source of water of good quality and a cool climate. The five schools were Bizen, Yamashiro, Yamato, Soshu and Mino.

The lesson of Mongolia.

The fighting style for this period was one in combat. When a warrior bear and a challenge worthy opponent on the other side to enter into mortal combat. However, in 1274 and 1281 the Mongols invaded Japan.

The Mongols did not fight for traditional Japanese methods of combat and individual challenges. In order to fight the Mongols successfully, Japan need to adapt and learn to fight as a group. Although the Mongol armies were mostly hit by climate (Kamekaze, the divine winds), the invasion of Mongols led to a conscious need for a strong national defense and sword smiths were presented around the country

In the late Muromachi period saw the emergence of the internal war once again. This led to more than 100 years of civil war in Japan as warlords fought for land and power. The lords of war is related to the need for more land and more power. Because Japan was involved in an internal war, the need for creators of the bar is raised again. However, the result is that the quality went down even though there were more swords. The swords of this period are considered inferior, and skills the smiths the sword of the lost golden age, some say forever.

Basic types of Japanese blades.

Katana or long sword has a sheet of 24.5 cm or more, the short sword or Wakizashi is 12-24 inches, or dagger is much less than 12 inches. There are many other styles of Japanese blades but these are the basics you should know .. The samurai warrior thrust made both through the waist edge. This made for faster drainage. With a slight rotation of the sheath that could change the angle of cut from the groin to the head or horizontal. The wakizashi was used after the no katana, fighting in enclosed spaces fighting at close range and some in a special technique called Nito Ryu (two swords at once)
