I watched Endless Eight as it aired.

It was fun.

^ That must have been fun... Two months of it.

So, I kinda like Fullmetal Alchemist. Is there any action/shounen as good as it?

The movie is only 72 mins. long. So I say get it off of netflix rather than investing in a DVD version.

SPEAKING OF PROTAGONISTS

I guess Saber is Fate/Zero's protagonist? It's either her or Kiritsugu and she gets more screen time so I guess she'll do.

She acts mature and badass but she's also naive and keeps getting ignored by Kiritsugu, her partner in 'crime'. I love her. ;_;

When it comes to Female casts, there are quite a bit of strong leads. You have Revy from Black Lagoon, Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, Deunan Knute from Appleseed, etc. etc.

But honestly... I have yet to see a female anime casting as impressive as Balalaika from Black Lagoon:

Strong and Charismatic leader and quite alluring (her scars only makes her all that more unique.)

Koko Hekmatyar sure looks like an interesting girl, she'll probably make her way into that list.

Netflix is region locked, yo. :<

I was just going to torrent it, anyway.

You know what? I haven't seen Jormungand yet but her profile does makes her a person of interest to me. I have to see this anime.

I got one more to add to the list and yes she is from Black Lagoon as well.

Roberta. Or should I say... The "Bloodhound of Florencia."

Forgive my tendency to be continent-centric at times around here. But using torrents... Naughty naughty.

It's still airing in japan, and I don't think Crunchyroll is simulcasting it, so you'll probably have to wait a few more months.

So, yes, as expected, Spring is being great. Video related:

Sakamichi no Apollon is actually really good. I love the soundtrack, for it is epic.

Speaking of spring shows, Accel World is shaping up to be a lot better than I thought it would.

I love the opening, too.

Jester Head · 21-04-12, 16:11

That Opening is horrible, imo.

Legend of Lara · 21-04-12, 17:47

I don't suppose you prefer Tsuritama.

Incidentally also a great OP.
