To me, I didn't enjoy Fullmetal Alchemist. I didn't say the anime was bad. It's considered overhyped, (pay close attention to this part) TO ME (you get it yet?), because it didn't live up to its expectations (here it comes again), TO ME.

It was really popular in Japan, however.

Originally posted by johnny<3trance no if you take naruto which by your sig your obviously a naruwhore, narutard take your pick thats a show of utter crap and its also way overhyped by way more than fullmetal alchemist

Actually, I'm not quite at the Narutard level. I don't enjoy the anime as much as others (One Piece, Bleach, Beck, etc...) since I'm not too into the DBZ type anime anymore. The only reason the Naruto characters are in my sig is because the Bleach characters are to the left of them and I don't want to ruin the pretty banner.

It IS extremely overhyped for the older group of anime fans... however, it's the perfect thing for kids. They eat up the DBZ stuff and they'll LOVE Naruto.

The industry cares about the industry. The people making money. DUH. Why would you end an anime that's still pulling in tons of fanfare?

If they don't like it how can they be fans? Do you mean anime fans?

If they don't like the anime then it obviously isn't good.

Originally posted by johnny<3trance its an ok show but its basically a rip off of hunter x hunter

Then Hunter X Hunter is a ripoff of older anime. And older anime is a ripoff of old Samurai/Ninja movies. And those are ripoffs of REAL LIFE.

Yoshihiro Togashi is a legend, however, so I give MAJOR props for Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter.

Originally posted by Nou SOrry Yan, but Ima agree with the masked nerd here... FMA +1 Naruto -1 FMA is def up there on my list, after the initial "OMFG THAT ROXORZ" it slipped down a few spaces after thinking about it. I like the atmosphere the most, I love that sort of alternate world sorta stuff. I havnt read the manga, Im thinking maybe I should. I havnt been watching it on Cartoon Network either, I dont know where they are at in it. The last few episodes are pretty tight, the episodes about their master and her, ummm, problem, are pretty good. Man, the end was sorta lame tho... I did cry a couple of times, I wont spoil it tho... its just... yea... The movie should be cool, I havnt really kept up on it.

I still hold steadfast to my "it's not extremely amazing" opinion. Personally, I think the anime could have been done in anywhere between 13 and 26 episodes. Actually, if I started watching at around episode 40, I bet I could figure everything out that I missed by then.

If you want to ruin your imagine of FMA, read the manga. It takes a totally different turn.

The dubs are half in half. Some of them are good (the Elric brothers) while some are bad (Roy Mustang).

I thought the ending only STARTED to open up the world that is FMA. Imagine the possibilities.

Not much news about the movie.

Originally posted by Nou Im deep into Beck right now, Im kinda bummed they are only doing 26 episodes (FUCKING FINALLY A TV SERIES THAT ACTUALLY GOES TO 26!!! Fuckin 13 episode bullshit pisses me off). Im hoping they do a second season, because Maho is seriously the coolest girl ever! People say get the manga, but seriously, what is the point of a manga about bands, you can hear the band in the book...

Beck FSCKING OWNS. It's a shame that there are only 26, for sure. I want a Maho, plzkthnx. Well... unless she's going to hang out with big celebrities like that asshole from before. I make the same point about the manga. How can you READ a manga about music? SO WEIRD. I guess they like the character development better in the manga.

Can't comment on any of the other anime stuffs. heh

Bastards.

Rurouni Kenshin and uh... (what was the other manga?) became monthly releases so that's why they spend so much time on them.

I want my fixing of HnG. I also want MORE OF THE ANIME.

Speaking of sports anime, Eyeshield 21 is coming out in anime form next month! Can't wait. It's a manga -> anime of American Football! The characters are really great and the action will be pretty damn cool, as is in the manga.
