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.
Bandai’s 1/100 Master Grade Sinanju was my first build of 2009*.
(I haven’t proofed this article, so suck it)
From a build quality this kid if fucking fantastic. Not only does it look great, but it’s a big sucker, considerably taller than most MG Gundams. Much to my surprise this kit lacks pollycap joints. While I hated that on my Crossbone the mechanics here are great. The joints are innovative and make for lots of movement. The only issue here is that the shield can be a bit heavy (at least with the beam saber things attached) than the arm can support. If it’s clipped on the forearm it has a tendency to pop off all to easily or slowly cause the arm to dip down.

Apparently, famous internet meme and Conan O’Brien time filler Chuck Norris is hoping Texas secedes from the United States, and says he would be the president of it should it come to that.
According to him, because of the way things are (aka, black liberal in the White House, which doesn’t suit Texans), there may be a need for a new Civil War.
