One of my friends just told me today that the second season of Full Metal Alchemist has finally come out! Man, after 4-5 years of waiting, it's finally here! How exciting. I even put off CIS studying for this; that's how important it is.

It's weird watching it and knowing all the plot points (kind of). It's nice watching the anime being redone though. The last ending left me feeling very bitter and empty, and this is like the "revival". I get to see all the characters get a second chance (except I still get the feeling that things won't have a happy ending...hopefully I'm wrong?). I might end up still liking the original better, even if most/all of the voice cast remained the same. So far, season one seems more dramatic, and Edward's character isn't as well reflected in the new series (okay, so the short jokes are still there). Personally, I felt like they crammed too many lovable characters into one 24 minute episode. The watchers aren't going to fully appreciate characters like Hughes or Armstrong!! They have to grow on you! There wasn't enough time for that. T^T

<3 Maes Hughes. He was my favorite!

In other news relating to how Jing sucks and has abandoned her fandoms like no other: James Marsters is officially in the US Dragonball Z live action movie. Rumiko Takahashi is moving on with her life, and I *think* that Inuyasha may have ended (but I haven't followed well with this ever since my hopes of a season 2 of the anime coming out were crushed). And wow, there are SCENES from the Dragonball Z movie?! WHAAA? Um, wait, scarier is that it's coming out in 2 days. On the day of the Comp Sci midterm. Wow, IIII'mmm an idiot. (or the 10th, apparently people aren't sure, which sucks...) Sadly, I suspect the only thing that will make this worth watching in theaters at all is James Marsters. Otherwise, it looks like another cheap mtv production. (lol). Woohoo, and Funimation is going to stream FMA on the 9th! Yeah, I keep jumping around in this paragraph...whooo cares? Even if I hate Funimation because they ruin everything that makes a series worth watching...it's still exciting!! In other *other* news, Full Metal Panic might also be picked up for a live action...the downside? I think Zac Efron wants to play Sousuke, and I would have to kill myself.

Yay, one of those really happy and self satisfying pointless entries. WOOT.

(And I might as well add another useless point: I love Jay Chou. Oh my god. He is BEEEAAST.)

(And you know what else?! Meteor Garden came out before Boys Over Flowers! Woohoo, the Taiwanese beat the Koreans! Well, technically we beat the Japanese at Hana Kimi too, but whatever.)

(AGHHH, and there's a sequel to KO One and X Family called KO-San Guo or something lame like that with NONEEE of Fahrenheit. No Jiro? REALLY!!? Even if George Hu (and what's up with all these actors being American and being born in New York and working in Taiwan?) is adorable, no one will/can replace Jiro!)

(WHY ARE KOREAN BOYS SO FUCKING ADORABLE?!)

Note to self: Watch Valkyria Chronicles and Shangri-La.
