There are weeks when all the series you follow seem to leave at a cliffhanger or reveal something terribly shocking.

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 -_-

No, the beanball was L having Misa locked up without food and water back in #33. Light's actions right now are not surprising, really, especially since they were obviously forshadowed.

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'm still standing by the fact that it really wasn't surprising. L isn't exactly your normal 'hero' material. In his own way he's as bad (or extreme) as Raito.

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.

Hmmm, but it wasn't as extreme, I think, as Light's obvious bad deeds.

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.

Yet I can't help but adore L for that. Someday I shall sit down and write a nice long essay on why I adore the characters in DN for their extreme and bad, bad, bad, behaviour, all with the addition of proper psycho-babble. DN is a wet dream for people doing abnormal psych (or ex-psych students).

... 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.

Oooh, do it. I'd look forward to seeing that from someone with actual training, as opposed to my pop-psych ideas.

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.
