Damn I thought that meant cultivation as in cultivating crops and shit.
Got excited for nothing.

Same. I have no idea what this post means. My most :jesse-wtf: moment so far on this site
It's a fantasy genre, has power levels and stuff. Based mostly on Taoism and some influences of Buddhism, but very high fantasy with stuff like killing god-tier beings in the end. I find it really weirdly appealing, especially in contrast to anime fantasy nowadays.
They're talking about Wuxia shows, a genre of Chinese literature/television where martial arts masters meditate regularly to gain supernatural powers / immortality, this is called cultivation. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is probably the most well known to western audiences.
So in dumb guy terms, this is like DBZ but Goku meditates to go super saiyan instead of screaming?
Basically, but it's more like Naruto than DBZ in the range of abilities and setting. Like most cultivators belong to various clans and most of their feats are exaggerated martial arts, aside from things like making their swords fly with their minds or summoning zombies with a magic flute. At least one character is likely to be poisoned by a dart made with a rare herb at some point in the story.
