I had watched three very interesting anime which I feel deserved special mention in separate posts but unfortunately, I chose logic over emotions and put them off while I worked on other stuff. So hence, the passion of the moment is lost but I still remember their awesomeness. This will just be a brief overview as I will write a better post for each when I have the time.
1. Full Metal Alchemist (completed)
A less darker version of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood (planning to watch), it gave me food for thought. It's about two brothers who tried to revive their dead mother by using alchemy but as the law dictates: A transaction is when you give something in exchange for what you wanted. Thus, the elder brother, Edward lost a leg while Alphonse lost his body. Horrified, Edward tries to save his brother by alchemy and as a result, lost an arm. His brother's soul was safely secured in a robot shell. Thus, they then embarked on an adventure to get back the lost body parts: the arm, leg and body. Along the way, they encountered many strange events and slowly uncovered the secret behind this whole alchemy fiasco. I strongly encourage you to watch it as it makes/keeps you thinking on a lot of things.
I started watching this after watching some scenes from an episode my friend was watching. It's a really exciting show which is very good for kids, I believe and almost everyone who learns from it. It is about Naruto, a boy who struggles to be the best Ninja in the village and earned the villagers' approval of him. He and the rest of the cast each have their own unique story and you may just be very inspired after watching! My fav is ep 22. A fun watch for families too!
3. Code Geass Season 1&2 (completed)
A story similar in terms of darkness to Full Metal. It is about Lelouch, whose mother, Empress Marianne was killed and he and his sister Nunnaly was sent to Japan, known then as Area 11 by Britannia. He has always harbored hatred towards his father, Emperor Charles for not avenging his deceased mother. During one of the fights between the Britannian soldiers and terrorists from Area 11, he was almost killed but survived as he agrees to receive a geass from a mysterious lady known as CC. He then has the power to make people do as he says by having direct contact with the other person's eyes. With this new power, he decides to go against Brittania by forming his own team, the Black Knights and appearing as Zero with a mask.
This story has a different way of tugging at your heart strings. It is a story where no one character is pure evil or bad. Each has their own story, beliefs and from their stand point, it's hard to determine who or what's right.
