Fullmetal Alchemist – Episode 01 Review
Episode 1, "To Challenge The Sun"
*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, come to the town of Lior, which follows faithfully a religion of the Sun God Leto, a religion run by a priest named Cornello, who performs "miracles". The Elrics insist, however, that Cornello is using alchemy, and they believe their search for the fabled Philosopher’s Stone may have come to an end. Confronting Cornello, they face vicious chimera beasts and the power of Cornello’s stone. However, it is clear that Edward is no ordinary alchemist.

A Trip Down Memory Lane, Part 1
This past weekend I had the fortune of visiting my folks back home for the 4th of July weekend. While home I decided to dig out two of my toy chests, giant plastic bins, with a hodgepodge of toys from every point in my life. My main intent was to photograph some of the more memorable items. Perhaps these toys are pretty kick ass, perhaps my nostalgia glasses are on full blast, but either way it was good to see some of them again.
For the most part most of my old toys are in pretty worn condition, some barely exist anymore. Take for instance what’s left of my beloved Optimus Prime G2…

Love how Eda pronounces “Brett Favre”.
Angel Hunt… Now on YouTube!
My first real AMV, Angel Hunt, is now on YouTube. I realize a lot of people don’t have Vimeo accounts and YouTube is more accessible (I guess) so I finally threw it up there as well. At least until someone sends ’em a bullshit DMCA take down notice because they don’t know crap about fair use. Anyhow, enjoy… again…
UPDATE! – Surprise, surprise, it’s been removed because of a copyright claim from 株式会社カラー. What a bunch of cunts. It’s clearly protected under Fair Use, as are the other 5000 other Eva AMVs currently on YouTube.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – Episode 64 (FINALE) Review
Episode 64, "The End of a Journey"
*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Knox and Marcoh arrive at the military hospital to visit Mustang, who recovers in a room with Hawkeye and is quizzed on information about Ishbal. Roy has been studying to help the Ishbalan people. Marcoh offers to use a Philosopher’s Stones to restore his sight, reasoning that ultimately it will benefit the race of the people that it was made from. Mustang accepts the offer, as long as they use it to heal Havoc first. At the Armstrong mansion, Scar recovers, and Oliver informs him of Miles’ plan to help Mustang help the Ishbalans. Scar decides he will assist. Edward and Alphonse, entering Risembool, reflect on the Xingese leaving Amestris, Ling having promised to protect May’s clan when he becomes emperor. Arriving at the Rockbell home, the brothers are tackled by a welcoming Winry. Two years pass, and Edward and Alphonse talk on the roof of the Rockbell house, reflecting on the vastness of the world. In Central, Grumman, now the Fuhrer, talks with Mrs. Bradley, and they are approached by a small Selim. At the Hughes house, Alphonse explains that he and Edward plan to thank all the people who have helped them. Alphonse meets with Jelso and Zanpano, the frog and boar chimera, who hope to get their bodies back. Alphonse states his intention to travel to the East, past Xing, to visit all the countries and learn their secrets. Edward, going West, is at the Risembool train station with Winry, and in his own way, proposes to her. She accepts. The train leaves and Edward is off on a new journey. A montage of photographs of events afterwards reveals that at some point Edward and Winry have children together.
