Final Fantasy

Well, I recently took a break from watching anime and played Final Fantasy IX for about two weeks. This game has long been in my heart because I've played and loved it since I was little; however, I never actually beat it on my own. It took about 2 weeks of playing to beat it; the Chocobo Sidequest took a lot of the time (I ended up wasting hours searching for Chocograph pieces that weren't available yet).

Anyway, the game was fun and I really enjoyed playing it; however, I missed my anime and am happy to finally watch it again.

Since my last post, I have watched Eureka Seven, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Full Metal Alchemist. I am currently watching Kiba.

Eureka Seven had a really good storyline and the animation was pretty cool, but the character development was a little odd. It had a futuristic setting on another planet. Anyway, it was good.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (just Gurren Lagann for short) was very interesting. This was also a futuristic anime where beastmen are ruling the Earth, forcing humans underground to keep the population low. The main character, a human from an underground village, drills his way up to the surface and somehow activates a robot that only he can control. His "bro" is his main motivation and helps him along the way. It was pretty good, but I didn't care too much for the swearing.

Full Metal Alchemist was a really sweet anime. Using transmutation circle and energy from one's own body, people called alchemist can make objects out of other objects. The main character lost his arm, and legs and his brother lost his whole body when they tried to transmute their dead mother into life. The main character then sealed his brother's soul into a suit of armor. They then traveled around to find the Philosopher's Stone which allows alchemists to bipass the law of equivalent trade (to get one thing, something of equal value must be given up). It was a very good anime, and I recommend it (don't forget to watch the movie after you finish the series).

The currect anime, Kiba, has been very interesting and very upsetting. It's a good concept but some of the characters' actions make me mad at them. Especially when people follow "the Ultimate Rules." Anyway, I might talk more about it later.

Adios.
