   Amy
Time for a normal post. I'm working on the episode guide for FMA (careful, there are spoilers!) and talking to my friend Amy (elrics girl, in case anyone's interested.) She isn't just a stalker saying she knows me. Jus' sayin'. >__> Check back soon, I'll be putting up new shows/manga INCLUDING:

*Girl Got Game
*Pita-Ten
*Ranma 1/2
*Inuyasha
*Azumanga Daioh
*Case Closed (or Detective Conan)
*Much more to come, including episode guides with spoilers!

That's all for now! I'll post FMA episode guide when I'm done with the first five!

   Fullmetal Alchemist Review
Short Summary: Edward and Alphonse Elric are two normal brothers until their mother dies of an unknown ailment. Ed and Al's father was an alchemist, and all over his library are books on the subject. The forbidden portion of alchemy, human transmutation, can also be found there. The two brothers, ignorant of the consequences, try to bring their mother back to life. The sacrifice wasn't enough. Ed lost his leg while Al was sucked up into a mysterious gate and lost his entire body. Al woke up in what seemed to be only seconds later to find he was encased in a giant suit of armor. He didn't feel a body inside. Ed had no arm or leg, and he was dying. The attempt at resurrection was on the other side of the room. It was hideously deformed. Ed didn't die, however. He got automail (prosthetic limbs) and swore to his brother that he would get their bodies back to normal, no matter what it would take. But what was he to sacrifice now?

Animation: 10
Script: 8.6
Voiceover: 9
Price: 10
Overall Rating: Excellent

Why I like it: It's really well-done. I almost feel like I'm watching a movie! The graphics are beautiful, and I LOVE all the character voices. There's a good balance of drama, thriller, and comedy in this series. To me, FMA is the perfect anime. New episodes come on air this Saturday on Adult Swim. I can't wait until the movie comes out in America!

   DNAngel Review
Short Summary: Daisuke Niwa is an average teen until he learns his family secret. He soon discovers that his family carries a gene that causes males in the Niwa family to transform into someone else! This "someone else" just happens to be Dark, a phantom thief who steals artwork with magical attributes. The only way to get rid of Dark for that generation is to win the heart of the one they truly love. Niwa thinks this is impossible, and it might just be since his true love loves Dark! But, Niwa's feelings might just change...

Why I like it: It's pretty, and it's cute. I dunno, maybe guys wouldn't like it. =/ I know a couple, and I dunno that many boys, so I'll just go ahead and give it a thumbs up for both genders. :D
