Fullmetal Alchemist
OH.
My.
God.
Still sick, need to crawl off to bed, but we just finished watching Fullmetal Achemist on DVD and WOW. It blew me away on pretty much every level -- visuals, story, writing, characters, humor. Even if you don't watch anime, even if you've never watched anime before, if you can find someplace to rent, borrow or buy this, it is WELL worth it.
The last anime that really hooked me like this was Trigun, back in 2000, which was the show that really, truly launched me into online fandom. With Trigun, though, what really sent me off into fan-land was the lingering sense of things left unexplained at the end, whereas this didn't do that. It just left me feeling complete. And really, really impressed.
I should probably write about it in more depth, but right now I need to go crash. Still, this seriously gets as many thumbs up as I have thumbs to offer. Very, very awesome show.
