Finally got to watch the ending to the HnG anime, and SQUEEEEEEE! I was terrified they were gonna screw up Akira and Hikaru's match, but no, they pulled it off, they pulled it off. Instead of spending 20 minutes on the emotions of the two, blah, blah, the animators spent time on the ACTUAL game I squee! Because damn it, HnG when it's all said and done is all about Go. And the way they show, visually, how the players calculate all the different aveneues that the game can go is just AWESOME! I think the only other game I felt so excited about in the anime was the Hikaru vs. Ochi. That was one awesome game.

Random thoughts. I feel sorry for Touya Koyou. The man will never have an eternal rival, or more accurately, the one man who could have been is 1000 years dead. I don't know which is more cruel for the Meijin, to have given the chance to play Sai, and to want it for the rest of his life, or to have never had the chance, thus never experiencing such a game. I get all sad when they show the Meijin sitting in front of a go board by himself as if waiting for Sai to make the first move. *sighs*

SPOILERS AHEAD! for FMA, ep.3, 19-22.

On FMA: ep. 3 (never got the chance to watch the ep before now) ripped my heart out. I admit it, I cried.

When they showed the first time the Elric brothers practiced alchemy, and Windy's reaction to it. Ouch, ouch, ouch! Talk about foreshadowing.

I think I really like Trisha.

I want to know MORE about Ed and Al's teacher. We get to hear about her, but we don't get to see her!

Roy in that French-middle-ages-style raincoat is HOT! I have a thing for the leather and the hat. Shut up.

Episode 19-22; the pain. Scar rocks, and we get to see just how far Ed is willing to go for Al.

Al's reaction to Scar after the whole destruction of the building thing. So cute! Kept on having inappropriate Al/Scar thoughts. Bad naanima, bad.

Scar kicks arse. I just thought I should restate this.

Poor Al, number 48 is amusing but a bastard. Deserve to die a horrible death.

Couldn't stop giggling when Tucker appeared in the new form. Suits him.

Kept on wanting to scream and getting urges to hurt someone when Nina appeared. Mainly wanted to strangle Tucker.

Ed's conclusion that he wasn't just any alchemist was, was.... was truly horrifying, in the way oncoming train-wrecks are.

The stone's reaction to Ed was, WTF?!? But ohhhh, so pretty.

Kimberly (Kimbelee?) makes a return without the geeky hair tie! Be still my heart. I want a face off between Roy and Kimberly. It would be, be explosive *snicker*

HUGHES!!! LOVE! .... unfortunately, I suspect his time is near. He's getting way too involved in everything. I suspect the reason he didn't tell Roy anything is to protect the Colonel, and that my friend, is going to hurt beyond belief. And it is my imagination or does our Hughes suspect Brad of being Teh Evil?

And the really important fact: Brad and his secretary is working with Homunculus. Also the Homunculus KNOWS Ed and Al's father, and really DISLIKE the man. Envy kicking Ed repeatedly and ranting about Ed having his blood. I'm curious.

And that's about it ^__^
