I fucking hate the katana cult.Only if it's like the obsessed neck-bearded weaboos. I'd probably get one and hang it as a decorative piece with the nugget crate table I plan on building

However, in the world of swords katanas historically were shitily constructed from crap materials, most produced today are still shit, and those that aren't shit aren't that special.They look cool and uneducated people are led to believe that all Katanas are god-like and can cut through anything as they are invincible from having the metal folded so many times.
Historically speaking, a Samurai being good at sword fighting was a bad thing. It meant you were a shitty archer and had to lower yourself to the likes of a peasant by fighting in close quarters.
No seriously this place is just gonna be another one of the fuckin' anti-weeb echo-chambers that thinks a katana is made of god damn balsa wood and shatters as soon as it hits something that isn't skin or bambooBunch of ignorant bitch bastards

I don't think anyone said that. I believe the general consensus is that they aren't the god sword people make them out to be and there's a lot of better stuff out there.There's actually a pretty strong anime community here too. I believe we've got a 5 page winter season anime thread on either the first or second page here.
This is Cindy. Group meet Cindy. Cindy meet Group. Cindy spends too much time reading comments made by idiots on reddit who like to say Katanas are shit.
