Current anime/animation experiences

[amanuensis1]

I have given Fullmetal Alchemist (the original series) three episodes, and that's one more than I gave Bleach, and it doesn't have me, so, I'm stopping. I will give the new version of the series a try.

And I had thought 07 Ghost had me with the first episode--military-in-training BFF boys! Lost amnesiac royalty! He-killed-my-dad revelations!--but then episode two changed the setting and started inserting the supernatural stuff in handfuls, and that's a story I no longer care about so much.

Who was it who asked me to check out Soul Eater? I watched the first episode. It's cute and well-done! But it's not dark enough to hold me. (No, I can't explain why something needs to be "dark enough" and yet I can't get enough of Chi's Sweet Home/Chi's New Address. The rest of you are free to tell me why.)

Those of you gleeful that I'm watching Avatar, I've finished the first season and am squee-dancing as I wait for more discs to arrive. It's wonderful.

Back to mainlining Hikaru no Go. I've read the manga and am reliving the joy and tears all over again now that I'm watching the anime. (The manga's so huge I can't even remember how some of this s**t goes down and I'm on the edge of my seat every episode. That's a series.)

Awww... I really wish you'd like Bleach then maybe you'll write a Bleach darkfic for us! Aizen is a manipulative villain worthy of ten Lucius!
I admit the first episodes aren't interesting, but the plot twist in later chapters are just terrific.

I don't know which order of magnitude of Lucius, but yes. Aizen's definitely the same sort of twisted, manipulative character who'd cheerfully take advantage of anyone.

I liked him a lot when he was supposed to be one of the good guys. Is it wrong of me that I like him even more now we know how cold and calculating and twisted he is?

Well, admittedly canon Lucius is not very bright compared to Aizen, isnt he? And not so evil either, though they;re both are gorgeous.
And yeah, damn he is damn HOT after he became the Hueco Muendo's ruler.

People do say that, but there's so much media out there that I don't think it's unreasonable to ask something to grab me straight away. I won't write it off completely, though!
