My favourite Soundtracks are:
Yuki Kajiura - Pandora Hearts
and the expanded version of it lol
I have watched Pandora Hearts in 2009 and i have enjoyed the story although it doesn't seem like it's over yet! there might be another season of this anime, maybe in the next couple of years :)
The most enjoyed part of watching this anime is definitely the sound tracks by Yuki Kajiura, when ever i hear the sound tracks online i know it only belongs to one anime (Pandora Hearts).
The story is totally different, the style is somehow similar to Kuroshitsuji, if you watched both anime you will notice something similar but the story is not the same :)
I just thought about it Pandora Hearts is a mixture of Kuroshitsuji and Tsubasa Chronicle!! It is funny, mysterious and they travel in time :) so if you watched any of the two anime and enjoyed watching one them then i am sure you will enjoy watching Pandora Hearts.
The most funny char in the anime is Break, he appears from random places lol
Samurai Champloo is a Japanese animated television series consisting of twenty-six episodes. Samurai Champloo was created and directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, whose previous work, Cowboy Bebop, earned him renown in the anime and Japanese television communities.
Mugen is a fierce animal-like warrior with a unique Bboying (break-dance) inspired fighting style. Jin has a more traditional style but don?t think of this as a weakness because his skills are amazing. The two contrasting samurai warriors are far from friends, yet their separate paths seem to cross anyways. Mugen is wandering aimlessly through the city when he stumbles upon a teahouse where he meets Jin and Fuu (A ditzy waitress, but don?t think she doesn?t have anything hidden up her sleeves). Fuu convinces them both to come with her in search of a mysterious samurai that smells like sunflowers and their journey begins. This modernized hip-hop tale breaks the barriers of the common, historical, samurai anime.
Genre: Chanbara, Comedy-drama,Action

I have enjoyed watching this anime and will watch it again :)
After watching Samurai Champloo i have tried to do some break dance flips but it didn't work lol. So i ended up going to a one day breakdance class to learn about the basics of break dancing but the instructor started with the advanced moves and flips lol. Atleast i learnt how to lift the body off the ground and rotate lol (i watched others do it but i havent tried it myself). It needs practice and muscle exercise :) and strong arms too because the arms will be lifting the whole body :)

Ed, who has a natural talent and skill for alchemy, becomes nationally certified and is soon known everywhere as the "Fullmetal Alchemist." Their true objective is to search for any information on the fabled Philosopher's Stone, hoping it will allow them to regain their old bodies.

FMA VS FMA Brotherhood
Who is the Winner?
The right answer is :
Both are Winners
Both anime are great and cool anime to watch because it has its original story and all the adventure and action you can't find it in any other story. So both are winners.
If you watched the 1st anime and started to watch to 2nd anime you will notice that the story starts the same!
well you might think!!! is it the same thing?! the answer is "No" both start similar but then after few episodes the story takes a different turn :)
I have watched both anime and i found the 1st one to be more serious and the ending was ok.
But i really enjoyed the 2nd one because it was funny and the story was much clearer in the 2nd compared to the 1st one.
Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the best anime i have watched so far and i will definitely watch it again when i crave some anime action ^_^

I have watched this anime series in 2004 i don't remember it that much. I remember the action was good especially when Chrno (the demon) gets angry, i love that part :D
Generally the soundtracks are all ok! The opening song sounds good to me.
Some scenes are not suitable for children, that's why i decided to flag it for 18+ viewers.
If you don't believe in demons then this anime would not interest you :P
