  Does anybody know how to get an animated gif onto my Otaku page? Will Photobucket.com allow something that's animated? I've some really cool gifs that made that I want to show you.

Sorry for not updating yesterday, guys. I was feeling all anxious and stressed, and I couldn't figure out why. Probably because my history report is due tomorrow. @_@ I'm screwed. It's already 3 PM and it feels like 11 AM. X_x Of course, my family wakes me up early on every day except the one I really need them to do so. ^_^;

Anyway, did any of you see Full Metal Alchemist last night? (If you haven't, and you plan to catch the encore on Thursday or later, and you don't like spoilers, please skip this next paragraph! That means you, Lindsey! XD)

Any who, that was a pretty serious twist with the whole locket/medallion thing. I love how FMA takes a page out of the Twilight Zone (another show I love) by giving you an awesome surprise ending you never see coming. The best one was in the fourth or fifth episode, I believe, which was entitled "A Forger's Love". Anyway, what was up with that bizarre woman affiliated with the military? You know, the one with the brownish, long hair that we never got to see a full facial profile of (her face was always shadowed)? Her voice sounded EXACTLY like Lust's voice. But she didn't look like a homunculi at all. Did Lust become human? What about Gluttony and Envy? But that woman couldn't have been human. At the end of the ep, she turned her hand into that odd purple plasma thing (when she was sipping tea in front of the window and getting chewed out by the general). I don't know how or why she did that, all I know is that it looked freakin' cool. I wish I could do that. Anybody want to share their thoughts on this?

Something I'm really surprised with is the lack of AMV's that use good heavy metal. Call me obsessive, but Metallica is perfect for many animes. Here are some examples:

-"Of Wolf and Man" would be perfect for an AMV that's generally about the Wolf's Reign series.

-I can see "The Frayed Ends of Sanity" used to show the mental stress of the characters of Evangelion, or used in a comic sense for an AMV using clips from FLCL.

-"Disposable Heroes" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" both hold true messages about war, and would both be great for an AMV about the Gundam series.

-I would love to see an AMV completely comprised of fight scenes and explosions from Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, FMA, the Tenchi series', Yu Yu Hakusho, and maybe even Love Hina and FLCL, using the song "Battery".

-"Am I Evil?" would be perfect for a Witch Hunter Robin AMV.

-"Nothing Else Matters" sounds like incorporates all the feelings of the Fruits Basket series, and would make for a divine combination of emotional scenes and the softer side of Metallica.

-"Metal Militia" would be frikken' awesome to see on an AMV that focuses on the exploits of the two Elric brothers.

-"Harvester of Sorrow" would go great with any extremely dark character, particularly one from Evangelion.

-"Fade to Black" is a massively appropriate song to surround any angsty anime character that has to deal with the possibilities of death and perpetual unhappiness.

-And finally, I'll show you that Metallica is good for ANY anime, by showing you that Metallica can work well even with its complete opposite: Sailor Moon.
There are supposedly 3 or 4 movies surrounding that series, one of which is about some sort of evil chick's plan to freeze the planet or whatnot. Sounds like "Trapped Under Ice" to me.

See what I mean? And that's just Metallica. There's also AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, CKY, Flogging Molly, and so on.

Thanks for your time guys, but I have to go finish my project. -_-'
This'll suck big time.
