DVD Report
Brief thoughts on the DVDs I got for my birthday:
Gunslinger Girl - I saw the first 4 episodes of this show at Anime Boston and am happy to own this series. I've watched all but the last 3 episodes and it's an amazing series. Very creepy and suspenseful in a Monster-esque way, but a lot cuter and a lot more tear-jerking. The special features on the DVD are pretty cool too (Laura Bailey is God). I'll probably write an essay on this show once I finish the series.
Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 2 - While I'm withholding "best show ever" statements until I've watched the entire series twice through, FMA is definately the most compelling show on the air right now. This volume contains some of the show's most intense episodes mixed in with some purely lighthearted ones and the introduction of Scar (coolest anime villain ever). This was actually the first time I saw the introduction of Hughes and the Barry the Chopper episode, so this was pretty new stuff to me even though I knew what happened in them before. This whole thing feels like a "Day of the Dead" celebration even in the happy moments, having seen the demises of Nina, Hughes, Lust, and Scar.
The Corpse Bride - I remember being pretty disappointed in this movie when it first came out, not being as good as The Nightmare Before Christmas and some of Tim Burton's live-action films such as Edward Scissorhands. I still don't think it's as good as those movies, but I was able to appreciate better on repeat viewing. With these types of stop-motion movies, just the fact that they were made makes them worth appreciating. I actually think this may have a chance at the Oscars, though I have a feeling it won't win.
Teen Titans Season 1 - Being canceled on Cartoon Network, having this show on DVD is a real treat. There are some great episodes here.
