My addiction continues!

[oyceter]

Some very nice person at work was thanking me for doing something and gave me a gift certificate (options were B&N, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, something else I don't remember because I immediately gravitated toward BOOKSBOOKSBOOKS).

And now, I have gone way out of my way to the nearest B&N. Instead of doing something practical and buying something to fill in the many gaping holes in my manga collection, I have instead started yet another new series.

But! It was Fullmetal Alchemist vol. 1, the manga! I flipped it open, and it was Ed and Al, and I could not resist and walked out with a giant smile on my face.

This show has eaten my braaaaaaaaains!

How are they? I've been avoiding most anime/manga novels for the same reasons that I avoid movie novelizations.

I read the first one, and it was okay, and got partway through the second before putting it down somewhere and losing it. My basic thoughts are that they're good for getting an Ed/Al fix, but otherwise lightweight.

They're fast reads, too. I'd suggest a trip to Barnes and Noble, a coffee, and an overstuffed chair there. :)

Hrm, I feel like I could do that ;).

Flatmates/FMA-manga-lovers gweniveeve & flutingfrenzy have reported to me that the novels are pretty meh. I will ask which if any they would recommend.

[oyceter]

Ohhhhh your flatmates love FMA too?! That rocks! I am still burbling over with it and desperately wanting to stop everyone and tell them to watch.

[octopedingenue]

Yes! I got them both into the anime as a proper crack dealer should. And now we have matching Movie!Ed & Movie!Roy plushies guarding our living room! (Both of them hated the movie, but we started speaking to each other again eventually! Browncoat!Ed conquers all.)

Everyone should watch FMA! I would watch it with you! Buuut bit of a commute.

[oyceter]

Yes! Exclamation point! I am so excited about this series even though I've already finished it!

In fact, I am really tempted to do the episode-by-episode rewatch with LJ people as kate_nepveu suggested a while back....

Mmmmmmm more FMA......

I feel if you come to Mariposa, we should squee and rewatch bits!
