A Look at Some Characters from Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood


So I’ve been watching the series titled Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and just finished my 2nd watch of the series, my first being about half a year ago, though I first encountered it much earlier in manga form. Regardless, I noticed a few things about this series upon this rewatch, and grew to like some characters much more than I did the first time. So now that I’ve watched the series while more calm, and able to pick up on many little things, I thought I’d talk about characters whom surprised me and I grew to really love on this rewatch, and what I noticed about them that drew me so much to them.

Paper Mario and Shy Guys - The World of Children


Last time I spoke of Paper Mario, I touched upon the intricate ways of the Shy Guy characters, and talked briefly about their world in the 4th Chapter of the game. Today I would like to expand on their world a little, talking of things I noticed and loved about the world, and thought lots about.

Friendship is Magic: The Cycle of Character Growth


I’ve been thinking a lot lately…..well….I’m always thinking, but I’ve been doing a special kind of thinking, with regards to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. And this time I thought I would share my thoughts, as I found them very intriguing. I was thinking about the characters of this beautiful show, and their differences in each Season, and why that was, and then I got to thinking about the friendship reports, and how they related to the characters, and how they differed from Season to Season. Let’s take a moment to talk about the friendship reports actually, while on the subject.

The friendship reports are a huge staple of the series, and my personal favorite part of the show. These came at the end of every episode, displaying a moral or message that was (usually) the central theme of the story that had just been told. They tend to involve the main character in some way, and tend to have some sort of lesson that they learn, but…..has it always been like that? And is it still like that? Let us begin by taking a look at the friendship reports from Season 1, to Season 2, to Season 3, look at how they affect the characters, and how they and the characters have changed over the course of the show.
