Anime Relations: Soul Eater

I finally finished Soul Eater, and it is with an extreme pleasure that I say that is one of the best manga's I've read, and it is on my top 5 favourite manga's for sure.

I loved how the last chapter turned out, specially with my otp (Stein & Marie) becoming canon, YAYYYY! Kid will be a fine shinigami, I'm sure about it, and the boobs thing xD I couldn't stop laughing, ehehehe

There was a lot of character developing in the manga, specially with Maka and Black Star in my opinion. And I just loved Chrona's character, specially his/her design. Spirit is an awesome character and it was terrifying when we thought that he had died, really terrifying.

Still, my favourite character is Stein. He's really amazing, and he had such a great development in the series. And that chapter were he gave to his madness on the moon, just AWESOME!! Still my favourite!

Now is time to really start the anime. I want to see exactly what they did to it, and just to see for myself if it makes justice to the series, even if it doesn't follow the real story.
It was just brilliant, and I loved it!

Anime Relations: Vampire Knight

This manga reaches its end, and despite things, i liked how it ended.
This has been the first manga that i started reading, and it was the one that got me interested in the manganime world, so it kind of says a lot to me.
I love the series unconditionally until volume 10; after that it kind of declined a bit in my point of view, but it was still enjoyable.
I think the main problem always was the lack of development of the main character Yuuki, but, that wasn't unforgivable for me, because my favourite characters got developed I guess (Zero and Kaname).
That triangle was a bit confused for most of the series, but i think the end was good for it. As a matter of fact, i really loved this last chapter :)
A good end for the series!

Anime Relations: Fullmetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I've just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and I have to say that it is the best anime that I have ever seen.
The story (like in the manga) is just amazing, with a plot so good and with such great characters and we have all to thank Arakawa Hiromu for it.
The animation was the best that I've seen so far, and I've seen some pretty good ones! Everything made it worth it.
I could feel connected to the characters in ways that I've never thought possible... even the so called 'bad guys' (homunculus); and the characters evolution during the story was so fantastic to watch.
I'm just really happy to find such an amazing anime. Well, my favourite manga is One Piece (there is just no denying it!), and I adore the anime (at least until the end of the marineford arc, now i just don't know what to say!), but the best there is is FMA.

I have to give a feature to Olivier Mira Armstrong and to Lin Yao. Major General Armstrong might possibly be one of the best female characters out there (I'm not saying she's my favourite of them all, but she's on the top 5 of my favourite anime female characters!). She's strong, determined, a leader; but also humble, loving and protective in her own way. She would give her life for her men, and that is something very important in a leader in my opinion.
Now Lin Yao, he's just the most interesting character. I have to say that a lot of my interest in him and a lot of his character development only took place when Greed got his body, but you have to give him credit: he was phenomenal, not only him but Greed too. He's fast, strong and so determined to save his clan and all the people in Xing; a true King! Like he says: "A King is nothing without his people!"
The Homunculus that in my opinion were the most interesting were Envy and Greed (even though, I also liked Gluttony and Lust a lot, specially their kind of friendship/partnership, wherever you call it). Even in the previous anime, they were the ones who caught my eyes. About Envy, well, he's a prick. There's not much to add, because you just need to see it/read it with your own eyes. The same goes for Greed, he was the character who developed the most in my opinion, and I have to admit that it was really sad when he 'died' (I cried...).
I also find Hohenheim a fantastic character. Despite all that he has passed, he still fought for what he believed and wanted... he fought for his sons!
And then there's Edward, Alphonse, Roy, Riza, Izumi and all the rest of the amazing characters... I can't really find one that I didn't liked at least one bit (maybe the Homunculus 'father' and Wrath... those I didn't like).

Now, has a fangirl like me, I do have some pairing that I like...
My FMA OTP is Royai (Roy & Riza): they are just the best of the best! I can't even begin to describe the love that I feel for them!
Then there's Edward & Winry: that scene when he confessed his love for her... the cutest thing ever, seriously. And Alphonse & May: they are love!
Is it that bad that I ship Scar with Major General Armstrong? I mean, I do thing they make quite a pairing there: Scar & Olivier!!
And let's not forget Ling & Lan Fan... they give me the feels!

It was just great and I'm proud to be a FMA fan. I mean, it just gave me so many feelings... I cried so much in the end... I LOVE IT!!
