Fullmetal Alchemist

I’ll be honest: I wasn’t that excited for this remake. It could have been that I wanted Bones to make something else (Ouran 2?). It could have been that I didn’t want to see the first bit of the series again. Anyway, all of that was rendered moot once I started actually watching it. I really, really like YUI and I really like her new song, which happens to be the OP. And I was reminded that I really liked FMA.

Saki

I was expecting this to be pretty bad. I think I like it though. Unfortunately, the mahjong terminology is pretty impenetrable to people unfamiliar with it. I have a really cursory knowledge of mahjong, but I don’t even think that if I knew how to play that it’d help with whatever ruleset they’re playing in. I can’t say I like Rie Kugimiya’s taco-girl voice, but otherwise, the cast seems pretty solid. Also, that mahjong table they have is pretty pro. This is also the first time I’ve liked GONZO’s CG since Last Exile. It fits with the intense mahjong playing pretty well.

Natsu no Arashi

This is confusing and weird. And not even SHAFT weird, just normal weird. I’ve got to watch more of this because I am lost.
