By Calawain | Published: June 6, 2009

Are you ready for your swine flu vaccination? Welcome to the 2009 Summer Anime Preview. I hope everyone is enjoying the time off, because I have none -_- (damn Bar review).

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 9- Sad Boy In Armor

By Calawain | Published: June 2, 2009

Personally, I much prefer sad girls in snow to a sad boy in armor. Emo+lack of fighting=boring episode when you’ve already seen the melodrama before. I like that there was a lot of Winry, but other than that the episode was pretty forgettable. It was one of those inbetweener episodes after something [...]

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 8- Metal Combat

By Calawain | Published: May 24, 2009

I haven’t dropped it yet! Two weeks ago I was out of town for a few days, and last weekend I was studying for finals (plus the episode was dull) so I skipped them. I’ve also started work on the summer anime preview, so there’s always that to anticipate sometime soon.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 4- Soul-Crushing Despair

By Calawain | Published: April 26, 2009

Well we all knew it was coming, but it seemed to creep up on us pretty fast. The first truly fucked up part of FMA. Regardless, they did a pretty good job presenting it, and it sets the stage for a lot of later development.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 3- Gag Failure

By Calawain | Published: April 20, 2009

I apologize for skipping over episode 2, but with the traveling and illness I suffered last week it couldn’t be helped. It was mostly material from the first series anyways, although I thought they did a really good job of explaining what happened in the past in a quick, yet quite clear manner.
