Animes with double sided scythe?

a normal scythe doesn't have war potential. The war scythe have the direction of the blade changed by around 90° so that they can turn into properly usable hast weapons. the double scythe you're talking about doesn't even have that first step done. at least make it double war scythe, this would be less ridiculous, and closer to a blade staff with double blade.

Also, fastest weapon? Even without accounting the fact that anyone would be tired of using such an heavy and bad balance (because yes, it's symmetrical, but the way the blade are put (not in the axe of the pole weapon) make it very unbalanced) that you wouldn't even finish your first fight, let alone last a whole battle by rotating this heavy weight around, how can this even hope to beat the speed of a Bô for example which will be used the exact same way but is far lighter ?
And like I said, that thing is far too heavy to actually gain any decent speed. Any light weapon on the other side will kill the wielder of such a weapon before you can even start to properly attack.

That, and what chibishoujo said. He explained the leverage (I thought it was lever principle in english, *sigh*) better than me. That's why you lose any interest of using a scythe if your two hands are closer of the heavy blade. a war scythe is a proper pole weapon (although rudimentary, and the fact that the blade is curved still give it a bad balance even after it has been redirected by 90°, so an halberd would give a better result for example), but a double scythe is no longer one. And yeah, that second curved blade in your back sounds dangerous. It would limit severely your movements in order to avoid injuring yourself when you swing it, making it even more tiring to manipulate than just the heavy weight alone.

If you can't even explain how it would work, then why should I believe that you're right?

Saying it's different but then not explaining how it's different isn't going to make me say, "oh, I get you now." If they work differently, I would genuinely like to know how.

I wish I could draw and animate to demonstrate how it works. I just hope they make an anime about it soon though.

The double-sided scythe blades are longer than a farming scythe but it could be same length or a bit shorter than the war scythe. I don't like war scythes because the blades are too curved, the sharp part would just be hiding behind the blunt part.

It's also possible to explain with words.


And this doesn't really make sense, since war scythes are the ones that actually got some practical use. Yet here it seems you're saying that the usual scythe is better than the war scythe when it comes to fighting.

It's not a good anime at all(everything about the anime screams either bad execution or bad choice), but It's the only anime I can think of atm, that has such a weapon in it.
