Just watched a few episodes of full metal alchemist on you tube. Im less than impressed. The idea of the alchemists is brilliant but the show is inconsistance in following its own rules. The law of equivalent exchange is said to be followed but it never is. The action scenes the staple of anime are over so fast and generally just boring

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

98's on Youtube now, Gothos. It has Kenpachi, mwahaha.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I didn't think so, no more than any other anime out there.

I just liked it, I can't say exactly why, I just really enjoyed the story, enough to not nit pick the inconsistencies.

Question:

Does being the only sane person in the world make you insane?

If a tree falls in the woods and a deaf person saw it, does it make a sound?

Gankutsuo? I bought the first two discs of that, but never finished watching the second one - I just lost interest. I don't think they build the characters up enough to inspire any kind of empathy, or even dislike. Also, while the line drawings were okay, I wasn't very impressed with the fill patterns that the outlines moved over - it was a bit distracting, and drew attention away from the expressions of the characters.

I really enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist - while the action is admittedly unimaginative in the first couple of episodes, the story is what draws you in.

I suppose I choose my anime more for the plot and graphics than for 'cool' fight scenes - if I were into blood and gore I would be watching Gantz. Last Exile is an example of good graphics and engaging plot (gotta love Dio :p).

Bebop will always be a classic for me. Bleach is awesome until they get to the Bountou arc. It seems to lose momentum - somewhat to be expected since the manga doesn't include the Bountou at all but continues with the Aizen DeathGod/Hollow arc.

I must look into Death Note - any Bittorrents up for it yet?

Other than Last Exile and Fullmetal Alchemist, my box-sets seem to tend more towards the Shoujo genre - Fruits Basket and His and Her Circumstances, Twelve Kingdoms (which I'm sadly also a bit bored with :p).

Some movies to definitely see are Voices of a Distant Star and The Place Promised in Our Early Days (Beyond the Clouds) by Makoto Shinkai - gloriously beautiful artwork, and moving stories.

I'm going to shut up now, as am rambling on and on and on... :p

I still think Metropolis is easily the best anime I've ever seen.

I never got to see it with subtitles, but then, I'm not much of a fan of Osamu "God of Manga" Tezuka's style...

The style is very average I admit.

But its the themes that the movie so effortlessly touches that impressed me. Love, Robot AI, Marxist revolution, Parenthood and they are just the main ones. It wasnt till I saw it the second time around that I realised how well it did this as well.

Well, I guess having seen the original it didn't make so much of an impression on me this time around.

Oh, and I may have forgotten to mention the awesomeness of Ergo Proxy - it is AWESOME :p Also very intriguing with interesting character development and design :p

watched the original ghost in the shell movie last night. Cant get enough of it. The story, characters and action are all flawless.

They made the right step up with stand alone complex but it still cant quite compete.
