If none of you have seen "My life as Mcdull" then you're missing out.

I thought it was very funny, (and yes, very cute too).

Not Japanese though, from Hong Kong I think.

(love the supermum computer video game bit, that cracked me up).

If none of you have seen it, check it out.

FLCL may be weird, but it's my favorite. Trigun #2, Chobits #3, Cowboy Bebop#4.

Chobits ? Gyahh. That show just LOOKS annoying, man.

I know I'm late with this, but I just recently started watching Full Metal Alchemist. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the artwork but the storyline is really good.

Full Metal Alchemist?

Is that a gritty hard-hitting war film set in the Dark ages?

"Legend tells of a mystical artifact that when used will increase it's possessor's power a thousand fold. Anyone possessing this artifact could in theory produce an elixir of extraordinary power that would heal all injuries, and give them everlasting life. It is rumored to beb red; a brilliant, sparkling crimson rivaling the most precious jewel in any museum. The stone's power is equal to the greatest of Nature's fury and beauty alike.

Even in the hands of the most ordinary person, the stone's potential is amazing. But in the hands of an Alchemist, its power becomes godlike. Only an Alchemist knows the deeper secrets of the stone. By tapping into the stone's most elemental levels the Alchemist is able to transmute human life, the most forbidden of all Alchemical practices.

Many have sought out the stone's power; all have failed. But a new adventurer has taken up the quest. A young State Alchemist seeks to right a most horrific wrong. His quest will determine the ultimate fate of an entire nation... and for himself. To seize the stone would allow him to restore life to those he loves, but it will also make it possible for the State Military to obliterate countless more. It is this burden that the young Alchemist bears. The power to create is but a breath away from the power to destroy. His name is Edward Elric. And he seeks the Philosopher's Stone."


... In other words, it's about a 15yr-old boy with a prosthetic arm and leg and his younger brother, who lost his body in a freak accident but whose spirit has been affixed to some metal armour, and all their nifty little adventures. I don't know how many episodes there are.

Is this 15 year old boy a friend of Harry Potter or something?

:P

Considering how it's set towards the beginning of the 20th century ... no, no I don't think so. =P
