Magai proudly presents _The Praying Mantis_, a short instrumental Chinese animation from 1988. Based on a Chinese proverb found in the Confucian scholar [Liu Xiang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Xiang_(scholar))'s anthology [_Shuo Yuan_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuo_Yuan), it was made in a unique Chinese animation style known as [ink-wash animation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ink-wash_animation). **Credits:** The DVD rip comes from rutracker and was done by an unknown group. HoneyClover did the translation, timing, and typesetting. Morellet edited, adjusted some of the timing and typesetting, and motion-tracked the signs. Special thanks to Collectr and bananadoyouwanna for editing and QC assistance.
