Review – Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

I’m going to assume that if you are reading this, you already know the FMA story, at least from the first series. I loved the first series, although I think the ending in the movie could have wrapped up a little better.

Now since I hadn’t read the manga, I didn’t know that FMA departed from the magna once it caught up, and I really couldn’t tell, the story wasn’t destroyed by it.

Review – Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

Plot Summary (from ANN): The premise of the project is the 70% possibility that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake will occur in Tokyo in the next 30 years. The anime depicts what would happen if an 8.0 earthquake took place.

The story centers on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl who goes to Tokyo’s artificial Odaiba Island for a robot exhibition with her brother Yutaka at the start of summer vacation. A powerful tremor emanates from an ocean trench, the famed Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge crumble and fall, and the landscape of Tokyo changes in an instant. With the help of a motorcycle delivery woman named Mari who they meet on Odaiba, Mirai and Yutaka strive to head back to their Setagaya home in western Tokyo.

My Thoughts:
This is a new program and I’ve watched the first 3 episodes so far. The main character, Mirai, is not all that likable, she’s bitter, annoying, and is angry at the world all the time, considering that she’s a teenager, and has some justification for being that way, I’ll give it a pass, but she’s really annoying.
