Taijutsu!

Mmmm...love the smell of verbal diarrhoea in the morning...

Today...Stats review->Transport in Mammals-> Integration/Differenciation-> Chemistry MCQ HCJC NJC

Fullmetal Panic is the no.1 greatest series in all of anime history. In terms of quality it beats naruto, bleach, rurouni kenshin, pokemon, doraemon, digimon...

It is the best animation in the world. Its producers, GONZO and manga creator Shinji Gatoh, have brought fresh, unique elements to anime romantic comedy by using a combination of fluid, exaggerated animating, perfect comedic timing,a totally cluesless lead, a cast of endearing characters, and some of the most retarded scenes in all of anime history.

The action elements in the show captivate viewers with each scene's graceful fluidity and commendable choreography. The show's animation is consistently of movie quality. Another strong attraction the show has for its viewers is its vivid portrayal of its characters' emotions in both dangerous situations and during their interactions with each other in peace time.

The romantic development between the male and female leads, Sousuke and Chidori respectively, is articulated by the creators in a playful and teasing manner that restricts depth somewhat, but that is their intention. The emotional attachment that each of them forms with the other is however, clearly evident and well developed, and thus endearing when it is expressed or put to the test.

All the characters are emotive and lively, and this is greatly due to the creator's animating talents. And the female characters are stunningly beautiful in their design. Though... of course there are so many things to appreciate in this show that you might feel lost at sea for awhile. Every moment of the show is worth watching. Of course there is an amount of fan service that is considered 'generous', but that should hardly affect one's critique on the objectivity of this review. I for one, did not find it a strong draw at all when compared to the other parts of the show which elated the part of my soul which puts such artistic perfection on a pedestal. No, wait, i meant to say that i skipped those parts...Yes. No, i didn't mean that artistic perfection is equated to fanservice...mmm.

These guys at GONZO have brought together a near perfect mix of comedy, action, and romance that will blow you away once you've started on the first series. FMP comes in three seasons: A 20+ episode series called FullMetal Panic which is a mix of all three elements, A 13+ episode series entitled FMP:Fumoffu which is a masterpiece of comedy, and finally FMP: The second raid, which brings closure to the series, focusing more on action and serious character development.

I hope an FMP movie comes out.

Shit. There's always so much to write when exams are nearing.
