 For fans of the various Gundam series, there's been quite a bit of news recently. Most of the sites reporting these developments tend to be Japanese, which is a bit problematic for those who don't read the language, but we'll summarize the important details here.
First, the new bronze Gundam monument was unveiled at Tokyo's Kamiigusa train station this past Sunday (March 23). The station is located in the city's Suginami ward, which many residents think of as "Gundam's town," since the Sunrise studios are situated nearby. In fact, so strongly do the residents identify with the several Gundam series that 2,400 of them signed a petition to have the statue erected. Two years and 20 million yen ($200,000 US) later, they finally have their wish. |

 One of the best animes around, Fullmetal Alchemist may not have the most comprehensible ending, but that hardly matters considering its memorable characters, beautiful look, and emphasis on brotherly love. Maybe it's sacrilege to say, because I really love this series, but the ending is a little convoluted. An awful lot of action is crammed into the last eleven episodes, and by the end my head was spinning with the effort of keeping up with who was doing what where, and why. Even so, Fullmetal Alchemist puts on a heartfelt, satisfying finish that had me sighing happily, easily dismissing the breakneck pace.
After an attempt to use alchemy to bring back their dead mother, brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric are left with the disastrous effects of a transmutation gone horribly wrong. Edward loses his leg, and Alphonse loses his entire body. Making a deal with the Gate that regulates the flow of alchemic reactions, Edward gives up his arm to seal Alphonse's soul into a suit of armor. Outfitted with artificial limbs, Edward sets out to become a state alchemist in order to gain access to research materials to learn more about how to regain his brother's body and his missing limbs. Finding the answer in the form of the fabled Philosopher's Stone, Edward and Alphonse journey to find the Stone and regain their former bodies. |
