Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Two brothers lose their mother to an incurable disease. With the power of "alchemy", they use taboo knowledge to resurrect her. The process fails, and as a toll for using this type of alchemy, the older brother, Edward Elric loses his left leg while the younger brother, Alphonse Elric loses his entire body. To save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm and is able to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. With the help of a family friend, Edward receives metal limbs - "automail" - to replace his lost ones. With that, Edward vows to search for the Philosopher's Stone to return the brothers to their original bodies, even if it means becoming a "State Alchemist", one who uses his/her alchemy for the military. [ANN]
Well, basically it's a remake based more on manga...
It feels kinda fast paced and I like it.
I assume that it should be around 25+ eps
Notable seiyuus:
Romi Paku as Edward Elric [Regene from gundam 00]
Rie Kugimiya as Alphonse Elric [Nena from gundam 00]
Shinichiro Miki as Roy Mustang [Lockons from gundam 00]
Keiji Fujiwara as Maes Hughes [Ali from Gundam 00]
Yuji Ueda as Jean Havoc [Billy from Gundam 00]
Kenji Hamada as Vato Falman [Patrick from Gundam 00]]
Tetsu Shiratori as Gluttony [Lloyd from Code Geass & Andrei from Gundam 00]
Minami Takayama as Envy [Kati from Gundam 00]
Hiroyuki Yoshino as Kimblee [Allelujah from Gundam 00]
Totally reusing back Gundam 00 seiyuus =__=
The OP, again by YUI is really good. YUI's songs are gettin' faster and faster...
Rating: 7/10
Pandora Hearts
Oz Bezarius, heir to one of the duke houses, has just turned fifteen. His life is rich and carefree, darkened only by the constant absence of his father. At his coming-of-age ceremony, however, everything changes. For no reason that he can discern, he's cast into the prison known as the "Abyss", only to be saved by a "chain" known as Alice, the bloodstained black rabbit. It is unknown why was he cast into Abyss, how does Alice factor into it all, and what does the organization known as "Pandora" want with him. [ANN]
Totally sugee... After reading the manga, I'm totally addicted to this series..
Uwah... Oz X Alice is so, so, cute and also Gil x Oz...

K-ON!
It's Yui Hirasawa's first year in high school, and she's eagerly searching for a club to join. At the same time, Ritsu Tainaka, a drummer, and her friend Mio Akiyama, a bass player, are desperately trying to save the school's light music club, which is about to be disbanded due to lack of members. They manage to recruit Tsumugi Kotobuki to play the keyboard, meaning they only need one more member to get the club running again. Yui joins, thinking it will be an easy experience for her to play the castanets, the only instrument she knows. However, the other members think their new addition is actually a guitar prodigy...[ANN]
If you like Suzumiya Haruhi, you ought to like this since they're produced by the same studio...
A typical slice of life anime...
All the seiyuus sound new to me...
Rating: 7/10
Yeah, basically my most fav anime this season should be either 07-GHOST or Pandora Hearts... Meh.. I cant choose between them...
Current Mood: finally...
Current Fav Songs:
Colors / Maaya Sakamoto
