Chiharu is your average, punk-headed teenager. She worries about pointless stuff and is overly obessive. Just your average cheese worshiping, tea drinking, tennis playing, twins obessive, pery and genki chinese girl. Luves Anime and Manga a little too much to be normal, and believes in the supernatural (aka. You know that artifically engineered tomatos shall rule the world one day) Eh, I'm the kind of person that's semi-shotfused. When I don't like someone, I'm not gona bother to kidd-up or anything. I want everyone to be original and stuff, and is the kind of person that gets bitter really easily. That doesn't mean I'm uncool or annoyning to hang out with, no. I'm a pretty easy-going person, but I hate being told twice or being wrong.

The reason I'm updating is because... Eh... Well, I think I really need to, and also because I've pretty much lost everything that was in my previous archives, and realized that since I'm not gonna be writing in an ACTUAL Jounral, I might as well keep in tact with this blog. And sometimes in the future (Namely when I'm not broke anymore), I shall print out every entry of this blog and save it somewhere.

But as for now, I shall rant about the evilness of photobucket and their resizing tendencies. See, this layout was originally designed to be properly fit and all, but since I've been using PNG formats for saving, photobucket resized it because the file was too big. So I had to resave everything in GIF format, and that's why the colors don't match in the background. It's all photobucket's fault. >.<

Well, actually, Photobucekt is one of the best online image storage places... Ever. They give you a lot of space, and is very lenient. I feel bad for complaing about them, but since I've almost a perfectionest, I just feel like I've not getting enough service from them.... Oh well.

On the other hand, I still can't stop talkig about Kimeru. Or at least being a Tenimyu fangirl. Jing is starting to block my voice out, Emi is just kinda scared of me now, Sara is trying to master the skill of sleeping with her eyes open so she doesn't have to deal with me. All this is funny, but sad at the same time. >.<

I've been trying to transfer all the MP3s from my itunes into my other computer, so I can burn it on a CD or something through yousendit, but it takes me forever and ends up with my and a headache. >.<

I deserve to be slapped in the head, I really do. The truth is that I couldn't help myself, so I make this Kimeru layout. It sucks so bad, I know, and hours of coding, the background was still messed up. >.<

Also, I think I completely failed my HS Entrance Exams thingie, even though I wasn't that nervuous for it. I think that's my problem, not being serious enough for these things. If I only tried harder to study, I might have done better on the the test. But the thing was that they were all easy, but they wouldn't give you enough time, so you never get a chance to go over your answers. They gave us like, five different tests that were all times.

I didn't know that all my friends were gonna show up, but when break came, all of my friends started hagging the coachs in the resting area, and people were like "who are those crazy girls that's harassing that table?".

And I can't stop talking about Kimeru. Everything I say somehow leads itself back to the world "Kimeru". Jing was so annoid I swear she was gonna run away from me soon. We kept on talking during the exams breaks, and there's this chinese teacher from the room next door, and she started lecturing me in chinese.

Oh, and I flushed verything in the shoutbox. Write something in it, or anything.

Somewhere in the life of an anime, you realize there's one anime that you're just absoultey in love with. This isn't just about the soundtrack, animation and graphics, or even , because Fullmetal Alchemist has all of that. Otherwise known as Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, Fullmetal Alchemist strives as a very creative story by the name. It's wonderful protraition and stroyline is just another thing to love about this Manga turned Anime.

Fullmetal Alchemist is a story about strive for excelence, debatility, and shows the truth about humans. FMA is not just another happy, plentiful, and somewhat sappy story where there's a happy ending around the corner. In fact, there's much to cability behind this story than anything else.

The storyline for the story is unbelievably original and intersting to follow, not to mention remotely realistic. By establishing the rules of imagery, FMA makes the views/reader feel as if they're already living the world of the characters. The setting follow suit to the story's perfection, giving out a very suitable cause as to the factuality of the anime/manga.

For one thing, the characters resemble the epitome of human nature, and this is best presented by the seven sins. The characters of FMA not only feel strongly determined, but also setting up a cause. Unlike those stories of "accidental powers" or unbelievable turn of events, there are different situation and storys following up to the beggining of the story. It makes people feel like... There's a cause to the FMA, and this story has to be told.

Younger viewers might not understand the striving concept of Fullmetal Alchemist, because it most target the flaws in human morals. But there's a point when the viewers finally start to understand that this story is not very far from perfect, and gets pulled to the intense stability of the storyline.

Animewise, the animation is absurdly beautiful and gives the viewers that sense of clamness without watching the it. The voice actors did a wonderful job of protraiting each and every character, and I think that the storyboard deserve a very-nice pat on the back for being true to the story. The anime gave people much better of an understanding to the situations presended by the story, and being all-truth, I can say that the anime made a little more sense than the manga.

The soundtracks is very nice and smooth to the ear, not to mention lovable. Sometimes I feel like tunning in to the anime just because of the song. You can not say this to all musics from animes, because Fullmetal is just perfect like that. The up-beat feeling created from the song gets viewers ready for the actual show, and the near setting and feeling of it. In fact, I'm listening to the second ending of the anime as I write this review.

All in all, here are my reviews:

Animation: 8 out of 10

Storyline: 10 out of 10

Characters: 9 out of 10

Soundtrack: 9 out of 10

One the bright side: You realise that you've actually matured a little after watching Fullmetal Alchemist

On the bad side: You might get a little too addicted.
