the ending animation is made of cute sketches we find out are made by the Edward and Alphonse when they were kids. cuuute.

Next Week , how it all began ~

——

Overall this was a great introduction episode. Few spoilers throw in here and there , and that just made it awesomer.

Shinichiro Miki as Roy Mustang is a bit hilarious though , But I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Same for Yoshino Hiroyuki as Kimblee.

Alright anyway , since this is predictably going to copy-paste the manga , I won’t be doing episodes summaries for this like I did for the few last 00 episodes.

Unless there is a badshit awesome episode , like…when they reveal that Pride is actually Bradley’s son. or when Ling appears , or when Ling becomes greed II , or when Father appears for real , or when we get to see inside Gluttony’s  , and oh shit spoilers ooops. lol.

Also , the first half is almost missing screencaps , and that has to do with the fact that I forgot to record the stream. Maybe ill update the post with screen later, maybe not.

That is all.

- Terra~e :

• OP 2 :「Jet Boy Jet Girl」 by Hitomi Takahashi
• ED 2 :「This Night」 by CHEMISTRY

Frankly I’m not too found of CHEMISTRY , but i have only heard 3 songs of them . One being the 4th opening of Gundam Seed Destiny .

As for Hitomi Takahashi , she’s one of my favorite so I can’t wait to hear what it’s going to be like . I think she deserves more love .

- Darker Than Black

• OP 2 : 「Kakusei Heroism ~The Hero Without A Name~」 by An Cafe
• ED 2 : 「Dreams」 by HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR

Hum , I never heard of An Cafe (アンティック-珈琲店-) , but they seem quite..popular .

As for HandMC , They are with UVERworld my favorite Band , so once again i’m quite impatient to hear all this .

- Hayate no Gotoku

• ED 2 : 「Get my way!」 by Mami Kawada

I think i died and i’m in Heaven , Mamki Kawada FTW ! .

I gotta say that i was expecting her to do a song for Hayate since Kotoko made the opening .

- Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS

• ED 2 : 「Beautiful Amulet」 by Yukari Tamura

;_; , I never was a fan of the Nanoha’s ending performed by Yukari Tamura .

Me wants a new song by Mizuki NANA !!!!!

- Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann

• ED 2 : 「Minna no Peace」 by Afromania

I have no complaints , I liked them from Ki-ba , “Very Very” was good song . Looks like Afromania wins this time slot ?

- Code Geass

well , unless you’ve been under a rock , or unless you aren’t too found of Code Geass , you’d know that episodes 24 & 25 will get a special new opening 「Hitomi no Tsubasa」 by Access . You can hear it on youtube .

- Naruto: Shippuden .

• ED 2 : 「Michi ~to you all」 by aluto

hum , I so have no clue who that is O_o .

- Bleach

• ED 12 : 「Daidai (橙; Bitter Orange)」 by chatmonchy

Yet again , and unknown person to me .

That is all i could gather for now .

I still don’t know how long Heroic Age will be , and nothing about a second opening or ending for Claymore has been announced yet .

This is a Great song for a not too well known group , but I believe that may be due to the fact that they are still Indie .

Someone hurry up and sign them so they can make moar awesome music .

This is the 6th Opening for Bleach

「ALONES」by Aqua Timez .

- well concerning bleach , there are to be new opening and ending starting episode at episode 77

4th OP: 「Tonight, Tonight, Tonight」 by Beat Crusaders
7th ED: 「Hanabi」 by Ikimono-gakari

here is the upcomning episode title names :

73 & 74 Gathering of Bounts! The Man who makes his Move & Memories of an Eternally Living Clan – 1 hour special episode ( 2006-03-28 )
75 & 76 Earth-Shattering Event at 11th Division! The Shinigami that Rises Again & Crashing Force! Friido vs. Zangetsu – 1 hour special episode (2006-04-04 )
77.Vanishing Grudge! The Shinigami whom Kenpachi Killed (2006-04-11)

now..what does this mean …hon’touni wakaranai !
with a new opening and ending , it can suppose 2 thing :
1) the fillers end and the Hueco mundo arc start .
2) it does just like Naruto and we get a year of fillers .

the thing is that the hueco mundo arc really ins’t far and by ep 77 name , i really start to doubt that the filler are gonna end

- concerning Naruto , there are to be new opening and engding starting at episode 179

8th OP: 「GO!! AHEAD!!」 by Triple Pop Bubble Gum
13th ED: 「Yellow Moon」 by Akeboshi

as for the upcoming episode list :

178. Encounter, The boy that has a name of “Star” (2006-03-29 )
179. Natsuhiboshi (Summer day’s star), Remembered Lullaby (2006-04-05 )
180. Secret Technique, Compensation of Kujaku Myouhou (2006-04-12 )
181. Hoshikage, The Buried Truth (2006-04-19m )

As well..what does this mean ? i do not know more then for bleach . I heard alot of rumor that the kakashi Gaiden was to start pretty soon , but..the opening chage at ep 179 , and the titles doesnt seem to be related in any way to Kakashi’s gaiden . So i am not going to expet the end of the filler year ..until…we actually see more then Sasuke’s shadow in the manga

- as for Blood+ , it’s no secret for anyone now that there is going to be new opening and ending

3rd OP: 「Colors of the Heart」 by UVERworld
