Sounds interesti… OH MY GOSH YOKO KANNO MADE THE SOUNDTRACK??? MUSTWATCH!
. I’ll check it out but right now, I’m going to stick with two anime series, Higurashi no naku koro ni and FullMetal Alchemsit brotherhood. I’ll check it out after finishing those two. It’ll tke me what, a maximum of ten days to finish both together? If I wake up very early, I think I’d finish all 46 episode of FullMetal in a day or two!My teenage son wanted me to say that he thinks you are awesome being that he is also a big fan of FullMetal series. Just sayingSounds interesti… OH MY GOSH YOKO KANNO MADE THE SOUNDTRACK??? MUSTWATCH!
To be honest ironchapman, I’m not very interested in it
Me? Awesome? Shucks, nobody ever compliments me! When I talk about anime to my sister, she just grabs a a huge piece of wood and starts beating me over the head with it. Other times, just kicks me in the head or forces me to eat dry bread until I can’t breathe and pass out. Kids these days:shrug:.My teenage son wanted me to say that he thinks you are awesome being that he is also a big fan of FullMetal series. Just saying
, although I am going to play a MASSIVE prank on her. She’s leaving with her classmates to London for like five days and with help from my dad and mum, I’m going to fill her room with balloons and give her something to gawk about when she comes back. She’s going to be flabbergasted with surprise. Also, I downloaded Kira’s laugh on CD and will play it over and over again just to annoy her and my parents because I love pranking people
.. Looks like I’m going to have to buy the DVD. Can’t wait to visit the airport next week as I want to read more manga. While I prefer the narrative style of comics, manga has its own charm and storytelling tactics.You are beyond awesome. I have considered downloading Kira’s laugh to annoy my younger sister, but I have never done it. That… With the balloons, that is perfect. You are beyond awesome.Me? Awesome?

Nah, just kidding, my sister loves me
Tell your son that I’d like to meet him someday and that the Blessed Mother may bless him and your family. Full Metal can actually be seen for free on you tube, that is, if you’re in America
By the way, you can find Full Metal on other websites too. Not just Youtube. I do not think I have ever watched anime on Youtube… And manga is fun. I do not mind comics, but I prefer manga. Mostly because I am used to it, so the small panels of comics and the different reading direction confuses me now. XDThanks! Can’t wait to go to the airport though. I’ll miss my sister during those five days but I can’t wait to getto the airport book shop: they have some manga there. I’ll take some pictures and maybe post them here if my sister approves. I might even upload a video as I definitely want to catch her reaction when she comes back home at 1 in the morning and finds she ahs no place to sleep. Yep, I may be awesome but I am also absolutely utterly cruel…You are beyond awesome. I have considered downloading Kira’s laugh to annoy my younger sister, but I have never done it.

Kira’s laugh. For 10 minutes. Oh my gosh. You are awesomely cruel. That sounds like it would be exciting. It is fun to go where manga is. It would be very cool if you could post pictures. Or a video. Your prank is perfect. XD
When I’ll be helping my sister pop all those ballons, I’ll be playing omnious latin chanting in the background all the whole crying ‘DELETE!’ for every baloon I pop. My sster will think I’ve lost it!
.Ok, I kid, I’m just joking, Keiichi doesn’t die either in the first season or in the second, I was jsut messing with you people!Before I see FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood, I’m watching Higurashi and Ah! My Goddess. I watched the frist episode of the OVA and I found out something. Despite me being all jumpy and cranky recently because of my insomnia, I LOVED Ah! My Goddess. Belldandy reminds me of someone special, you know who it is:
http://198.62.75.1/www1/apparitions/http:/miracm~1.jpg
Yep, Belldandy reminds me so much of the Virgin Mary. Like her, she’s kind, loving, innocent and is absolutely dedicated towards those who love her. I found out something else: five episodes are just not enough for me. I’m watching the 2005 series and tis sequel lights of Fancy (by the way, the whole FoF series is available on you tube for free by FUNimation!) plus the OVA’s.
I like how the romance isn’t crude at all. There are no superficial ways in which the relationship develops, both Keiichi and Belldandy have feelings for each other but find it difficult to express their feelings fully and really, both characters are just so much fun to watch as they have so much chemistry between each other. Also, Keiichi putting his arm around Belldandy’s shoulder at the end of episode 1 of the OVA was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. I’m dead serious, its can make anybody have sweet dreams and recover after watching Evangelion.
By the way, Keiichi actually dies. It may sound like a spoiler but it isn’t. He dies very early on in the series, like, 14 episodes in. Just saying
Japanese have a fascination with gore for some reason. There is a game called “Corpse Party” which is available in the West based on a comic about a group of kids who get caught up in a haunted school and get slaughtered one by one. One of the characters who dies is 8 years old. For some reason this sort of almost sado-masochistic trend runs through much of anime. In one of the Higurashi spin offs a child of 7 or 8 is also strangled to death as is everyone else, although the story ends up that they did not die or it resets itself. The anime Mirai Nikki also has numerous deaths including one child. I haven’t seen these but read the descriptions and it’s not my cup of tea.
Not meaning to take you as a bad guy but the west also has a fascination with violence , with ****** films like the Friday the 13th series, Hostel, Manhunt (the video game), slash fics dark humor and, you know, abortion. It also has a fascination with unhealthy sex, and sex between children too sometimes (oh Stephen King, I love your works but what the hell were you thinking putting an underage sex scene in It??? AfterI read that bit on wikipedia, I died a little inside). It isn’t simply Japan, its people who are obssessed with violence. True, in Japan, a kid seeing some blood like what is shown in Bleach is acceptable and in my opinion, it is OK for a kid to see some bloody violence, as long as it is not over the top. Japanse also have a diffirent view of nudity. If a person is shown naked in an anime, it isn’t necessarilly depicted as sexual in nature so much as showing how vulnerable this person is.Japanese have a fascination with gore for some reason.

There is also a live action movie of Higurashi Koro Ni and two previous films called Battle Royale where high school kids in uniforms have to kill each other.
I’ll never understand Japan.
. No, please no, anything but that, I’d rather see this: youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0You will. Sadly, you will. Granted, it’s a little bit better than Twilight in terms of portraying Vampires (no sparkling, thank God). I would add Yuuki has a little bit more character to her than Bella.I also bought a manga called Vampire Knight. I haven’t read it yet but it looked interesting… and then I found out that it was shojo. I love some shojo stories like Haruhi Suzumiya and somewhat like Candy Candy because my dad loved it but I’m scared that I’m going to read through Japan’s version of Twilight

I’d do anything short of selling my soul to have this entire universe manga-fied (complete with guys like me getting crazy magic/martial arts powers).
Hey LW, what do you think of Bleach, One Piece and Naruto? I hear the last one is pretty bad to be honest.I’d do anything short of selling my soul to have this entire universe manga-fied (complete with guys like me getting crazy magic/martial arts powers).
