Fullmetal Alchemist

Monday, May 2nd, 2005

Rarely do I watch a show and instantly fall in love with it, but the story behind Fullmetal Alchemist really moved me. Edward and Alfonse are brothers gifted with their father’s aptitude for alchemy. When their mother dies, they resort to forbidden arts to bring her back and pay for it dearly. The show is [...]

CSI: Crime Scene Investigators

Friday, November 19th, 2004

Truthfully, I wasn’t initially a very big fan of CSI. It took a few episodes to convince me just how rivetting the show could be. Once I gave it a chance, though, I was hooked. It’s a far cry from your generic Scooby mystery. The show, thankfully, features *gasp* innocent characters, plot twists, and internal [...]

Angel

Thursday, May 20th, 2004

It’s no secret; I’m a vampire fan. I always have been.

The show features the ongoing story of a samurai-turned-wanderer named Kenshin Himura who has sworn never to kill again and has quite a time trying to keep his vow. The [...]

Dragonball Z

Tuesday, June 10th, 2003

Like Buffy, I’ve been a fan of DBZ since the first episode of Dragonball. My favorite character, quite naturally, follows the same pattern of villain-turned-hero worship as Buffy’s Spike. Vegeta started out pretty stereotypical but actually managed to develop quite convincingly as the show progressed. Sure, Goku and the others are fine, but Vegeta is [...]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Wednesday, May 21st, 2003

I’ve been a huge fan of the show, pretty much since the first season. The movie was horrible, but the show kicks ass. Of course, I’m not as much of a fan of Buffy herself as I am of Spike. He is cool on so very many levels it almost makes me want to dye [...]
