So, Furuba, Akito's revelation. Well, the anime definitely got that one wrong *snickers* I'm not sure if I should be scared by this, or pray that the mangaka can pull off whatever she's trying to pull off.
Naruto: OMFG!! Sasuke! Naruto! The angst! WHY?! I love the both of you so damn MUCH! I mean I understand, but dammit, LOVE and PEACE! Not this anger, this pain, this damn fight. What's really bad is that I don't know how K-sensei is going to end this. Naruto as a shounen series should be about the Hero overcoming odds and winning, thus, at this point Naruto should go all Kyubi and kick Sasuke's arse, BUT it doesn't solve a damn thing. Sasuke need his vengeance, and dragging him back to Leaf is NOT going to solve anything. I want a resolution to this because I'm hurting for Sasuke and I'm hurting for Naruto. My heart wants Naruto to bring Sasuke back, but my head wants Sasuke to win against Naruto and just leave because we all know it is better for the plot. But if K-sensei can make Sasuke see reason again, to realise the 'precious people' in his life, to take a step back and wait to become stronger (kick Itachi's arse!) than I'll forever grovel at his feet.
As for the movie... KAKASHI! SQUEEE! And I'm a confused about the timeline. Naruto is using the rasengan (gods, I can't remember how to spell the damn justsu), and Sasuke is with them. So, does this mean the movie is set sometime after the current arc in the manga, and the anime is taking the AU route?
Death Note: Well... Raito proves once again his mad, mad skillz at screwing people over and thinkig ten steps ahead. So, L, what are you going to do with a person who honestly belief he is innocent? I love this series for the pure amoral aspect of it, and my inner psych student go all SQUEEE when Raito shows us his personality, or when L reveal tid-bits of his personality through his body language. SQUEEE!
FMA: 10 more episodes. It is not going to end happy, especially not with the snippets of the movie we have been getting -_-

Naruto: I just wish that a shounen manga would for once show that you frequently can't beat the crap out of people, it only makes them more determined.
DN: I am so not making predictions about DN.
FMA: I haven't been following it for weeks, but I don't mind spoilers. What do you mean "not end happy?" For me, I would count not ends happy as anything less than the Elric brothers surviving, so that leaves a wide latitude for happiness.
Naruto. Definitely, though I have to admit the last two issues have been making me wince and jump up and down at the same time.
DN: *laughs* I'm just soooo curious. It isn't every manga that make you so unsure about the outcome.
FMA: The last I heard Al was the Philosopher's Stone, thanks to Scar. But in relation to the movie, so far all the shots we have seen is of Ed. By himself, looking all rugged. But the main thing is that it is set a few years -after- the anime series. And at present time I'm just not oo optimistic about Al's survival. Hell, I'm not sure about Roy's survival.
DN: That is what I love about DN, even though a lot of people on the flist don't like it much anymore because they feel she threw a beanball.
FMA: 0_o There's going to be a lot of crying in the fandom if that happens. I suspect Roy might die, but I'd be somewhat surprised if Al did. It doesn't seem like they're working up to it; maybe Al is kidnapped or somehow needs to be rescued by Ed in the movie?
Fans are strange. What were they expecting then? Ryuzaku helping Raito escape? L suddenly deciding Raito is innocent and letting him leave? I'm finding this very bizzare.
FMA: At present time Roy's survivability is getting low, as for Al... I don't know, I really don't know. I want to hope for the best, and you are right they haven't been building it thus far, but as I said 10 eps remaining, and a LOTS can happen in 10 eps. And I just don't see Al being kidnapped, and left to exist for a more than a few days. He is the Philosopher's Stone, anyone who gets their hands on him will use him.
So yeah, I see angst and pain, and mroe angst. But at least FMA will end with a bang ^^;;;
FMA: Yep, ten episodes is a lot of time. It's just that I remember way back when people were insisting that it wasn't possible for Al to die, because it would negate the whole point of the series as quest.
I remember that discussion. But at present time I have to re-evaluate that argument and just ride out the series. Because it is going to be interesting to see how the anime wraps up. At this point it isn't so much as a quest as trying to disapprove something that the FMA world holds as law. The Law of Conservation may not apply, because as Izumi said, what of her son, he died before he was born, what did he recieve? Where's the fairness in that. Of course than there's Dante who at first I thought was a nice person and now truns out to be, 'MORE! MORE! MORE! I WANT!'
Scary woman.
Yes, I think we do. I can sort of imagine an ending where Al needs to, er, pass to another plane of existence, and Ed needs to accept it the way Izumi accepted the loss of her child and Ed and Al eventually accepted the loss of their mother, but, damn. That's got to hurt. Besides, I don't want my flist to become soggy. >_>
And yes, I really liked Izumi's line and how they're undermining the Law of Conservation, just as I hoped they would.
... soggy? *laughs* I'm so using that when the bad happens. And it will. But yes, can definitely see Al passing onto the next plane of existence. It is going to hurt, because I have realised that out of the Elric brothers I do adore Al just that more than Ed. Though I'm not sure I want to see how Ed is going to deal with it. Knowing Ed, probably badly. However, if Roy is still alive and well on his way to world domination then maybe he can kick Ed back from insanity/depression.
But not looking forward to it.
Ditto on the Law of Conservation. My MAD RABU for Izumi went up several hundred notches after hearing her say that.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to see Ed go through that, so I'm hoping that it doesn't happen, and the twist is something else. But I suspect that the writers have something more up their sleeves there, and if not Al, it will be someone else to make the viewers cry.
Yes..., that whole "life is fair" thing really irritated me.
