Fullmetal Alchemist

Fullmetal Alchemist is just so yummy. It makes your heart ache but you just want more more more because you cannot get enough of it. I rarely watch it because yeah, co and i am lazy to watch from youtube so my until i think episode 13, legally bought vcd episodes are those i had managed to faithfully follow, as well as the few last episodes i watched from youtube. Don't forget the few bits of the manga i read from the manga shop or the internet when i got the energy and active interest to do so. Still, just one juicy episode could haul me back to the fandom as i cradle my hurts and stretch out my hand for more. Yup, watching Fullmetal Alchemist can transform you into a masochist and you would just love the fact that the craze had seeped into the western countries. Where else could you find a large amazingly good fanfiction production area that further fuels your obssession?

For this anime, at first, everything is black and white. Then it starts getting grey. At first, the bad guys are just there for you to hate. Then their motivations are revealed along with their humane side even though they are not humans. There are also war, family issues, the eternal question of Life and plenty of beautiful breathtaking hurt. Fullmetal Alchemist is special because there is always humour to shed some light into the always drape and deary situation, more so and especially so in the manga, which is still ongoing. In the anime, the humour just taper off and it really is full of sadness but it is still gorgeous.

Shocking sight: D.Gray-Man anime song download

(Shrieks)

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

(weeps imaginary tears of joy)

The next big thing that may actually topple me into a dead faint would be D.Gray-Man anime on youtube or any anime download site.

Time: 8.20 pm
Website: the same anime music download website.
Revelations:

Figures, the only songs worth listening to come from Death Note, a mystery thriller rather than any of those action and adventure animes' songs which are really better off shortened to their cut version. D.Gray-Man san, leaf_nip wa, was so disappointed degozaru.

Hmm...Hikaru no Go had some nice songs, i could go find them and there was that anime......what was it again? Hellsing? Lovely jazzy songs but not it. Argh! I cannot remember! Oh yeah, Kindaichi. ^_^

Time:8.30 pm

State:

(drools) Kindaichi really hit the spot with Confused Memories. Probably the only song that had made an impression, pity. Oh wait. Futari, even though it was softer, smoother and gentler, has a pleasant contrasting effect to Confused Memories but i quite dislike the repeating "kimi wa" that starts off the chorus. Kimi_ga_Iru_Kara is also pretty sweet with that lyrical feel and brillant transposition (asked my sister the term for change in "diao") but Confused Memories still beats them all.

Time:9.10 pm
Website: ditto
Findings:

Hellsing songs are in the league of the greatest. Logos Naki World still retains its compelling magic and Soul Rescuer has that wonderful part that ensnares me to Hellsing. Still, i have not found the two tunes that had me replaying Hellsing's first episode over and over again.

Found only one of the 2 tunes. It was mixed with other tunes too so i could not extract its pure mesmerizing quality.
