^.^

This is why I love Del Rey. Their stuff is truly wonderful. I've heard COMPLETELY undeserved bitching about their translations of Tsubasa and Holic that have absolutely no basis in reality. Their adaptations are exquisite and beautifully executed, and you can really tell they care about their works. The characters are always given perfect voice in text and politeness levels are thoughtfully conveyed. I love their stuf XD

Er, XD I'd argue that FUNimation isn't the best distributor right now. I much prefer Geneon and Bandai still. I warn you also that FUNi isn't spectacular with extras (they're very hit-or-miss) so the Mushishi fandom better start emailing the crap out of them to make sure that you guys get everything connected with the series that you want.

Yeah, I guess I'm still totally in love with the FUNi FMA DVDs I got my hands on. The mini-artbook thing inside them was fabulous, and they used the original art for the cover~ :) But yesh, I will try to start hounding FUNi to include all that extra stuff that came with the Japanese release... (*prays for the Ginko figurine, but that might be shooting the moon*)

I haven't felt this beyond-obsessed with a series since Digimon. For reals. 0o0

Well I'm here to say that it's a-ok because there is nothing cuter than seing someone obsess over something they love. ♥

Hee hee, it really is fun to watch. XD Like oh my god, my sister and The Office. I moe. Moe moe moe. And she's gonna read that and be like "...Mo?" XD But anyway, yes. Fandom is much glompable.
