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.)

If I don't see it for myself, then I can't construct a good rant about it.

SO true. When I hear people bitch about Twilight and they've never seen/read a minute of it I look at them oddly.

I even suffered through all four books. That's dedication right there. I had such a headache (my brain literally hurt!) after reading the first three that I almost didn't read the fourth; but I eventually ended up slogging through it.

What made it even worse is that I refused to buy the books, so I was just sitting in B&N reading them. Entering B&N for that week was like stepping onto a battlefield - 'just one more passage and then I can go home!'
