My new obsession is Full Metal Alchemist. As I took the term off, I gleefully marathoned the whole series in a couple of weeks, and am hopelessly addicted. I love it so, with its reams of unending angst and questionable philosophical morality and vague parallel!universe ending. Everything was just so nicely jumbled and dark and gritty and oh, teh ANGST!
As per usual, the main character (Edward Elric) wasn't my favorite character, but I didn't dislike him, which is unusual for me. I absolutely adored Alphonse and the Homunculus (sans Wrath, I hated that little bugger) and I have this huge soft spot for Mustang and his harem--er, military posse. Except Hawkeye. I have more than a soft spot for her. It's more like total LOVE and ADORATION. If I was the crazy sort of otaku (which I'm not, really) who decorates her room with anime paraphernalia, you bet I'd have a huge banner proclaiming "I HEART RIZA" on it. But I don't. Have a banner. I do heart Riza, though.
It was a pretty big surprise when I found that the mangaka (and sole creator!) of FMA was a woman. I mean, the series is obviously (almost hardcore) shounen, and the manga has such a dark, morbid sense of humor. Which I, of course, enjoyed immensely. Anyways, kudos and much love to Arakawa Hiromu for her series.
On another completely unrelated topic, Stephanie March came back last night on Law & Order: SVU as ADA (or rather, ex-ADA) Alex Cabot. I was devastated - okay, not devastated as much as moderately disappointed - when Cabot was shot and shipped off via Witness Protection Program last, er...two seasons? ago. It wouldn't have been such a downer, I think, if TPTB had not replaced her withthe devilADA Novak. Nevertheless, the poor scripting, bad acting, pissant directing, etc. didn't stop me from grinning with joy at the unchanged InYourFace!Alex, who, despite being realistically useless for the whole episode, shone on screen in all her glory, for all of her 15 minutes of screentime. And not just because she ditched the Bangs!Of!Shame.
Izumi: You idiot! Why the hell did you get kidnapped!?
Alphonse: Ssssooooorrrryyyyy!!
Lackey #1: Hey you! Don't pretend we're not here!
Lackey #2: Who the hell are you!?
Izumi: I'M A HOUSEWIFE!!!
