Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND THREE
Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND THREE
The third volume of the FMA manga covers the Elric brothers’ trip back to Risembool to get Edward’s automail arm fixed (it was destroyed by Scar), the research at Central’s library into the Philosopher’s Stone, and most of the Laboratory 5 incident. The first animated series stayed pretty faithful to this portion overall.

Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND ONE
Hiromu Arakawa’s long running manga, Fullmetal Alchemist, has had the luxury of not only being extremely popular both in Japan and here in the U.S., but recieving two anime adaptations. The first was helmed by director Seiji Mizushima in 2003, and ran for 51 episodes. The second will air this year, helmed by Yasuhiro Irie. The two series were/are productions of Studio Bones, known for its high quality productions.
Who watches the Watchmen movie? I did.
A few thoughts on the Watchmen movie (having just seen it today):
– The movie basically got the main players right. My only issue with their depictions are the Ozymandias comes off as being much more villianous than he should be and Rorschach more heroic and noble, even despite the brutality displayed.
Gurren Lagann: The Dub Review
The Gurren Lagann dub premiered for the first time on Sci-Fi tonight…
The short and simple of it? It’s not so bad.
So dub’s often get a bad rap, often for good reason. With much anticipation Gurren Lagann fans with little or nothing to do sat around and watched the premiere of the first two dubbed episodes on the Sci-Fi Channel. And boy, what a commercially studded event that was (more on that to come, trust me (fucking Sci-Fi)).
For those unfamiliar with the show, you’re way behind the times. You can read up on Gurren Lagann here and check out a ton of Gurren Lagann images (including the cut Eye Catches) here. Unfortunately this is set to hit as big as Evangelion, and be ruined by a shitty fan base shortly there after.
