Hagane no renkinjutsushi (2003)
full metal alchemist
this has to be one of the best anime shows ever made (along with inuyasha, which is also amazing.) it has hilarious comedy, action, drama, and a good story. it is about two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who try to resurrect their mother. their plan fails, and Edward ends up losing his arm and leg, and Alphonse loses his whole body, and Ed now has a metal arm and leg, while Al has to wear a huge metal suit of armor. then, they try to become state alchemists, but it ends up only ed is able to take it. when he does pass, he soon quits because of a mad scientist using his daughter and dog for an experiment and the army covering the whole case up. but then he rejoins because he heard that he might be able to resurrect the dead using alchemy and a legendary stone called the "philosopher's stone" (he grieves for the girl and his dead mother, and the girl/dog monster that the daughter of the mad scientist became was soon killed.). then, he rejoins on one condition: to hunt down the philosopher's stone. ed becomes the youngest state alchemist ever, and the two brothers set off on a quest to find the philosopher's stone, and to get their bodies back.
this anime is one of my favorite shows EVER and i think it always will be. despite the depressing parts and the drama, this story also has many hilarious comedy scenes. this is a series i recommend to everyone, anime lovers (like me) or non-anime lovers, i think they need to watch it!
Inuyasha (2000)
inuyasha
inyasha has to be the BEST SHOW I've EVER WATCHED! if you're one of those people who say anime sucks because pokemon is anime, then this is still the perfect show for you! i have the soundtrack, and I've watched the Japanese version too. Richard Cox even signed my gyestbook on my site!
This show has action, suspense, fantasy, and it's hilarious!!! sometimes i laugh so hard at some parts i can't breath! i SUCK at telling summaries, and you'll be sorry if i do give one so i won't. JUST, WATCH IT!!! the original manga is really awesome too! you have no exuse not to watch it! WATCH IT!!! you will love it. i know i'm being creepy, but this show is way better than you probably think if you haven't tried it.
A Knight's Tale (2001)
Very clever, and lots of fun
We really loved this movie ... it was tons of fun and we found ourselves either smiling or laughing through much of the movie while it kept it's drama & romance edgy enough to keep it very interesting. Both my wife and I felt that this movie was very cleverly written, directed, and produced (I was very amused by the pop culture & modern music overlay to medieval dramatic situations, and it works very well). We've seen lots of movies but have never seen this type of thing done this cleverly before. The acting was excellent all around. Lastly, the romantic interests were done well enough that it was very cool for both men & women movie watchers. Looking for a movie that feels good while keeping your brain from turning to mush? This is an excellent choice, and you can feel good seeing it several times over.
