Oh my, I'm experiencing blog entry backlog yet again! I have yet to blog about PCC, Ozine and my trips to Japan and Taiwan. But for now, here's a heartbreaking piece of news from Anime News Network that was shared in fm_alchemist. Basically, my beloved FMA is ending in two months. I quote the article:
