There is no such thing as a perfect story, but Fullmetal Alchemist comes extremely close. Doesn’t matter if you’re into action/adventure, fantasy/scifi, comedy, tragedy, drama, suspense, romance...FMA’s got something in it for everyone.

Now I’m a nerdy bookworm, not an anime “otaku”; though I do appreciate it as a wonderful form of art and storytelling. And yet Fullmetal Alchemist has become as dear to me as any of the precious books sitting on my shelves. (Seriously, the last time I cared so much about a story this epic was Lord of the Rings.) I don’t even CARE that it’s an...

She just looks at me, "Oh well, it might come back to you eventually." She turns around and points to where the city can be seen from afar, "He told me to lead you into the town central to meet him." I think for a moment and nod, "What do I have to lose?" Alice's eyes seem to light up with excitement, "Then come on." She grabs my wrist and pulls me along. After a while the sand from the beach fades and is replaced by a dirt paved trail covered in plant leaves. I heard a quick and gentle rusle near by but decide to ignore it.

I found this site when looking for Naruto episodes. It has a huge collection on anime and I just wanted to suggest it for you guys in case you want to use it.

It had links to Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, Elfen Lied, Full Metal Alchemist, Gantz, Lucky Star, Ouran High School Host Club, and a lot of other current animes I like, but it also had a bunch of old animes from the 70's which was really cool.

Sorry if it seems like I'm ranting but I just really loved the site and it took me forever to find a good site that had a bunch of the animes I liked.

I hope you go check it out, it's definitely been a help for me. That's all!

Some random facts about anime and manga I found on teh internet

1.The word "anime" (pronounced ahn-e-may) is synonymous with, and often used to describe the art of Japanese animation.

2.Anime is not synonymous with 'cartoon' despite the popular belief held by the uneducated masses. Anime is considered to be an art form by those who appreciate it, and is not specifically intended for children like American cartoons often are. A wide range of audiences are targetted with complicated, indepth, and emotional storylines.

3. In Japan, there are more than 40 new animes appear on television per week

4.In Japan more paper are used to print manga than toilet paper.

5.Anime began in 1917 by Japanese artists: Shimokawa Oten, Jun’ichi Kouchi, and Seitarō Kitayama.

6.In Japanese manga means 'whimsical pictures'

7.All manga is drawn by hand

8.TEZUKA Osamu is the most famous manga artis in Japan


I hope you enjoyed these few facts that I found.

Saya and Haji fighting together
Saya and Haji fighting together
link

* referance video*

This is an great anime. It started out okay as the girl saya was normal and had a fun life. But then she finds out that she's not your regular High schooler. I liked the romance between Haji and Saya and I liked the storyline. That was well played out. Also something that i liked was the trials that she has to go through to prove that she's worth something. I also like how you see her history and how it effects her. This is a great anime and I recommend it to people who love romance and action for this has a lot of both.

If I write rants, I'm usually able to control myself and not post them. However, a recent troll user pushed me off the deep end, and now I have to force someone to listen to this one.

I hate elitists.

This is obviously a general statement, but this is the anime spot, so let's narrow it down.

I hate elitist anime fans.

Since I've become a member of the anime fanbase on Fanpop, I've come to realize these people are my least favorite part of anything anime. Here are some examples of these people, in case you don't know what I mean, and how to explain to them why their douchiness is extremely unfair....

I'm going to say this, right here, right now: When it comes to TV shows (that includes anime), I always make sure to watch at least 5 to 6 episodes of a show before judging it (though I kinda made an exception with Power Rangers Turbo, which I watched 10 episodes of).

Anyways, what anime do I hate with a bloody passion? One word: Hetalia. I gave it a try, and the results were... less than desirable.

I'm going to be brutally honest here. I had more fun watching Princess Tutu.
I had more fun watching Transformers Energon.
I had more fun watching the 4Kids dub of One Piece.
I had more fun watching...

Chapter 1: anime middle school

Hundreds of anime characters rushed through the hallway trying to get to their next classes."damnit,where the hell is al,he's gonna be late for class again...." a sho- er I mean,fun sized blonde boy asked looking around the classroom.it was their second day of 8th grade and their father,hoenheim had told them to try their hardest this year.even though he'd been a state alchemist for a whole year now(A/N: to all fma fans,this is an AU fic so all the characters still have parents and are 11-15 instead of 17 or 20....),their parents still thought they needed a good...

Lately, alot of people have been calling other people weebos. Yet, if I were to be called this, it wouldn't offend me. Because I know that that isn't true. I am obsessed with anime, very true, but Is doesn't anime let me escape from all the sh!t in my life? Sure, I spend all my time surfing the web for anime, but I beleive this word 'weebo' simply does not excist. We watch anime, because it is a better reality, it is an escape from reality. The word 'weebo', does not excist to me. We simply are not weebo's because we watch anime and listen to japanese music, we simply think that its a better place to be or something better to listen to. So if you are obsessed with japanese culture, you are not a weebo, you are just someone who is smart enough to see that the japanese culture is much more enjoyable then what you live in. So be proud
and enjoy escaping from the drama! :D

And that concludes my article, Anime: Escape From Reality.

In this article i will be talking about kissxsis.

One thing that i feel i need to clear up is watching this does not make you a pervert. Kissxsis is funny as hell thoug i can be pretty disturbing. I mean i am the biggest anti pervert i know and i still laughed mt ass of the entire series through.

This next part is about season two question i hear around the web. NO NO NO NO! Ova was not season two or anything it comes bundled with the manga in Japan in other words Ova is still coming out. The next episode is supposed to be released in November with the sixth volume.

Any other questions post them here and i will either put them in here or add another article.

ps i made the images myself and this is also where my icon is from. i (screenshotted them)

More anime reviews:

Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo—I wasn’t expecting much warmth from a show about revenge, but there’s romance here, and friendship of the kind worth dying for. Not a faithful adaptation of the novel, though—I read the book afterwards (all 1400+ pages!—fortunately it wasn’t boring.) I suppose if this gets you interested in reading the classics, it’s worth it.

Generator Gawl—my third favorite anime. A 12 episode time travel paradox tale. The trio of bishie boys (Gawl, Koji, and Ryo) was instantly loveable, and they genuinely cared about each other. This...

Sword of the Stranger is a Bones Production full feature animated film set in Feudal Japan.

Japan has yet to form a central government and empire, making it a weak country full of territories and warring states. Unlike Japan, China has finally managed to unify its country under one Emperor (Quin, anyone remember Jet Li's "Hero"?)

The Emperor is getting old and in his paranoia and attempts to cheat death, his sages have advised pursuing an elixir of eternal health. To shorten the details, a young boy from China has managed to escape to Japan and meets up with a wandering Samurai. His blood is...

K-On! is a show that may lack a real plot, but the show is saved by its' cuteness which is brought to us by the main characters. This list ranks the 5 members of anime's best band. I hope you enjoy the list.

5. Ritsu

Ritsu is the leader of the band, but she appeals to me the least out of the band members. She's not as nice and charming as the other band members. She can be hard to stand when she gives Mio a hard time, but other than that she's a okay character. She's a tolerable character when she's not being disrespectful.

4. Yui

Yui is the closest thing the show has to a protagonist. She's...
