Newish Pages

I feel like writing more. So I've decided a theme for next week that I'll be talking about: the seven deadly sins. That means there'll be one for each day but you might have to forgive me from time to time if I didn't have the time to write.

The idea came to me from an anime series I've been watching and just finished, The Fullmetal Alchemist. It's a really good concept, very well made. The characters are deep, the plot is well thought of and the quality picture-wise is near perfect. Of course the thanks go mostly to the original manga since that's what it was originally. It was easier for me to get on hold of the episodes rather than the books.

The schedule will go like this: Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Greed. It's the order in which the homunculi died, so I'll follow that (I had trouble with placing Greed on the list since there were two, so I played according to the later-born one and I'm not actually completely sure about Envy's and Sloth's death).
I just realized there's another series of Fullmetal Alchemist, so I'll have to make sure to get that in my hands as well. From what I read, it greatly differs with the one I've seen already so it won't be watching the same thing over again! I was lucky since Brotherhood (the other series will be referred as first anime) was basically exactly the same as the manga. The first anime is, if I remember correctly, the one from which I've seen bit. It'll be interesting if I happen to find the first anime and it'll mean I will have something to do on my free time!

Just one last word about Fullmetal Alchemist. Anime in general looks so childish so I'm making the assumption that other anime are just as meaningful as FMA. It's full of very precise advice about life and in all its fantasieness it somehow manages to picture the world as it is. It's sad, happy, scary, relieving and most of all gives hope. In other words, it makes you feel.
