Just finished watching the last episode of Berserk, and to be honest I felt kinda disappointed. The reason for this was that the series had been left on such a huge cliffhanger, leaving the audience thinking: "What, was that it?"

Well that's how I felt. But I knew better than to judge an anime just from the last episode. Berserk is a truly amazing series, not to mention one of the bloodiest too. The action is continuous & intense, but in between their campaigns, the characters are given a chance to shine. They convey their thoughts & feelings extremely well, allowing for some very good character development - especially in the relations between Griffith, Guts & Caska.

I would recommend this anime to people who like gory action & great story-telling, because the plot is fantastic. It's a simple rags to riches story, about Griffith's rise in status from peasant to nobleman, through his trusty army, the Band of the Hawk. Obviously the plot isn't that simple, and is filled with corruption, jealousy & assassination attempts to spice things up.

Overall, it was an excellent anime which was basically only Berserk: Series One. I guess I'll just have to stick with the manga to carry on the story. Ho hum.

Finally managed to finish FMA! Took me absolutely ages, but I got there in the end :) To be quite frank, it was the best anime series I've seen, and that's the truth. The final ten episodes were really good at wrapping up the whole series, and it didn't feel like the ending was rushed when I watched them, which is unlike many series. Really cool stuff. The way everything fitted together was wicked, like how the 2 brothers regained their bodies and how most of the evil dudes were killed off. Nice...

Anyway, the ending kinda left the series on a cliffhanger, with Ed and Alphonse in two seprate dimensions. which opens the way for the FMA movie and hopefully second series :D Cant wait!

Finally finished Gungrave! It was a great series with lots of action and probs some of the best character development I've seen. The only thing that could make it better would be if they had made the series longer!!! The last few episodes seemed kinda compressd together.

Ah well...whatcha gonna do? Still an excellent anime nonetheless.
