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

Attention: Age View 18+

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

Original run May 16, 2004 – March 19, 2005

- In total there are 26 Episodes -

I have watched Samurai Champloo in 2008, the Anime has it's own style, storyline and hip hop soundtracks.

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  :)

Ending song is my favourite

Years later, Ed (now with two mechanical limbs) and Al (still trapped in the armor) leave their childhood home, each brother concerned with the other's happiness. 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.

FullMetal Alchemist (Movies)

Currently there are are two Movies available, in addition to a third movie which will be released in Summer 2011. 

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 ^_^

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

"There is no such thing as Paradise anywhere...and yet, why do i feel this urge to search for it"

I have watched this anime series in 2004 and what i liked about this anime is the characterization, and its soundtrack.

What i really liked about this animated film is that it gives you a wake up call to change your life and the way it runs. 

If we can reverse time, then time running wouldn't be a problem for us, but if time runs by there is no way we can reverse that time.

Time keeps moving forward so cherish every second and every moment ^_^

Shaman King Anime

-In total there are 64 Episodes-

If you are a shaman who would you choose to be your guardian spirit?

If you are used to listening to the the modern anime opening songs you might think that this opening is more of a 90s songs! maybe it is! but it's not, it's a 2001 OST.

Shaman King is one those anime that no matter how old it gets it remains great. 

I watched this anime in 2006 and i found it great! nice story and funny at the same time, so it was never boring to watch it :)

The anime might look like pokemon style in some way but it's totally different, i would say it's more of a supernatural funny anime.
