The "original" is not true to the manga and i never get why people say the fake ending they made up for the first anime was better than brotherhood which follows the REAL story line fairly closely...
That's not to say I didn't think they did a bad job on the first anime (other than failing to contract it for a second season instead of making an ending up) and i did rather enjoy it.
For one thing including the movie they both end up stranded in our world which perhaps if there were elements from our world in theirs i might be able to agree with this but no there wasnt not to mention WHAT ABOUT WINRY??? i mean seriously... that and with the fact that they are supposedly in our world circa 1940ish is a depressing thought meaning alphonse and edward are either dead or oldmen now.
Think it would be more accurate to say beyond the fact that they just up and leave winery behind (and hohenheim dies) since i'm a big fan of sci-fi/fantasy them coming to our world and just become mundane ordinary people that and the fact that auto-mail something that ought to be fully mechanical magically stops working in our world I found overall disapointing.

I think the only series (besides TTGL of course) that I have "Otaku'd out" on lately was Spice and Wolf. I watched the first season on Netflix and then bought it all on Blu-ray and ordered up the manga the same day. Made Holo characters in a bunch of RPGs and games that are more well... Lillica-oriented lol.
I REALLY want to get some of the figures of her (plus that posterboard cutout they had in Durarara) but all that stuff is SUPER expensive whenever I see it available and it sells wicked fast.

There more than two seasons to Spice and Wolf? probably just going to finish reading the light novels instead. speaking of i need to get back onto the GGO arc of SAO.
Also i'm occasionally the fan of a good romantic comedy recently been reading Ookami-heika no Hanayome, pretty cute story overall.
Which also reminds me of a pretty good one Karen also known as bleh... Chibi vampire tokyo pop thought people might confuse it for another manga they published if they left the title as was.

I feel your pain. Well not so much pain as so much enjoyment that my head would kerplode. xD

I have a huge list of stuff I really, REALLY need to watch (Inuyasha, Spice and Wolf (started it), Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu, the rest of Bleach)...
My obsessions are better expressed thru my cosplay work. Right now, I'm (still) gone full otaku over Sword Art Online. First series I've been this obsessed with since Seikai no Monshou/Senki (another LN adaptation, one that...sadly imo...hasn't been continued. DAMN YOU SUNRISE!)--I've read every scrap of material I can on BT (wish I could find the web version, it was further along before it was pulled than the print version is right now), taken to wearing a black duster coat, wish I could afford the figures thru Crunchyroll...oh, and I have an Elucidator (two, actually, one's better than the other) hanging outside with the paint drying...
Though Attack on Titan is giving me chills. Best lead-in story I've seen in a while, cuz we're obviously FAR from the best parts, and I'm hanging on tight for the ride.

Honestly rumio takahashi is a terrible author (author of ranma 1/2 and inuyasha) I've read both manga's fully and in both cases the character development/story progression seems to stagnate/fall off all together by the 12th volume.
She comes up with great story line concepts and basis but she really sucks at sustaining them long term and just plain drags out the story for the sake of dragging out the story, i mean DBZ, bleach and naruto are all kind of bad about doing that too but its just not the same level...
You can basically summarize inyuasha like this: They find naraku, defeat naraku/he escapes, by the time they find him he has regenerated and built an immunity to w/e it was that gave them the edge last time, they manage to escape, search for a way to upgrade the tetsaiga, they find it then return to the top of this cycle about 10++ times.
Opponentless windscar, Red, Crystal, Dragon Scale, Weird mirror form, Void/underworld portal (gained from re-assimilating the tensaiga), Fire and Ice and probably a few others I cant remember
There was nothing innovated or interesting about the way she went about these cycles either was pretty damn blatant... at least inuyasha had a better ending than ranma.
Also if your interested she has a new series Kyoukai no Rinne, given the last two series i've read by her i expect it to be good for 12 volumes and then decay into some kind of mundane pattern... I haven't even bothered with this one FYI.

I heart CLANNAD ~After Story~ with almost every bone in my body :)
I'm actually more of a visual novel otaku myself, I really like 07th Expansion's " When They Cry" series and Nitoplus's stuff ( Steins;Gate, Chaos;Head, Saya no Uta). Plus Key ( Kanon, Air, CLANNAD, and I want to start Little Busters! soon).
Currently reading through fate stay/night now.
Also,
This is God's gift to humanity.

You're a Steins;Gate fan too? Did you see the news on the new movie that just came out? I can't wait till they sub it. Looks like an emotional ride and I just love Kirisu's Japanese voice actress' work.
Here's the trailer, its called Steins;Gate Burdened Domain of Deja Vu.

Yep! I didn't watch the anime, but I hear it's mostly the same as the visual novel. I did hear about the movie, but I didn't know it's out already! Wow :O When did it come out? Wondering when to expect subs lol.

Came out the end of last month. It is mostly the same as the visual novel I also heard, but it was definitely worth watching the Anime as well. Never been so moved by a story so far as this one.

This movie looks so sad :( I thought we'd avoided the deaths guaranteed by the attractor fields, but even the Steins Gate has someone die :( I guess there was no way for those in Attractor Field A to know about exactly what happened in the Steins Gate world...
By Triffle 2013-05-07 15:24:25
Here is the plot for the movie:
It's been a year since Okabe fixed the time lines and brought it to the Steins;Gate. The problem is the strain of all the time travel he did is literally breaking him apart and he disappears from time completely.
The story follows Kirisu's attempts to get him back and all the times she fails. Different events cause her to push forth to try again to save him and endure the loneliness she feels without Okabe being there even though she doesn't really remember who he is due to his deletion.

I did enjoy it but up to a point despite the gags and antics there was character development and somewhat of a story line after that point it kind of devolves into a garfield esc sunday morning comic routine kick odie off table, goble up lasagna, destroy plant, kill spiders, annoy john.

I remember growing up with Sailor Moon back when I was a kid and I thought it was a cartoon. xD
InuYasha was the first Anime I watched when I actually knew what Anime was.
Anyone else remember what the first thing they watched or read was?

I only watch the 13-26 episodes anime, watching the long ones will obviously take you on a huge fillertrip, you can't escape that. So I only read the manga for those ones.
I'm more of a 90's-era kind of inner otaku, so the whole idea of shows with supertrips were really foreign to me...except DBZ, but that was its own thing at the time. Now it's just out of hand @_@
And I normally don't find myself buying anime merchandise, but there is an exception for something like Outlaw Star. Because of that, I got a custom-made shirt from ebay 2 years ago, made by this merchant:
Other than a few minor details, it's perfect! I just wish I ordered it in an XL, haha.

Its a tie up between dragonball sailor moon escaflowne digimon or pokemon... as my first ever.
That was all before i knew what anime was, I only officially started watching anime when Toonami started on CN, my fandom became cemented when i realized that there were dvd's of DBZ and YuYuHakusho 20++ episodes ahead of what was airing on CN.
Thats when i started to download episodes off Kazaa or Morpheus or w/e... eventually going too far (not realizing that dbz was over 10 years old) and started into japanese episodes with subtitles.
My first manga ever was probably chobits though... never read the entire series until after mahou sensei negima got me hooked hardcore into mangas.
