And now for something completely different

Okay. Here's what kept me up last night. A Full Metal Alchemist vid. Recently, theladyfeylene finally got me to watch the anime. I've avoided anime since my traumatizing introduction to it well over a decade ago. Well, turns out I got hooked on this one. After seeing a couple of Fey's FMA icons using text from the song 'Soul Meets Body' I automatically made the

Duuuuuuuuuude... that was wonderful! =D (zomg, am so glad to see you vidding again, and for FMA too!)

And yay for going back and braving anime again after a horrible experience. ^_^

[lennaofmidearth]

Thank you! I really enjoyed making this :D So glad you liked it!

It was the eighties. It was scary and gruesome and creeped me out. And most likely this will be the only series I'd be into. But I really am enjoying it.

Hey, it was one of your vids. How could I not like it. =D

Eh... yeah. Ew. Cool. I maintain that a good show is a good show, no matter the medium. ^_^

My knowledge of anime of any kind is less than that of quantum physics. That said, you had me hooked at "Greyhound station". BRILLIANT! I actually enjoyed the vid VERY much. More than I ever thought I could, even. Whoo!!

[lennaofmidearth]

Thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me :D I honestly didn't expect anyone who wasn't familiar with it to like it. And then for someone with little to no knowledge of anime to like it so much...

PS:Thanks for the mention in your LJ and I look forward to watching your Eko vid this weekend :D

This just doesn't stop being awesome. I can't stop squeeing over it! The song is absolutely perfect, and the clip choice is awesome. I love the way the clips matched up with the lyrics, and this song is now so completely woven together with them. It fits so wonderfully. The entire sequence for the second stance, right before the refrain, is just so perfectly done. So much love for you for making this, seriously.

You know what's nice? To actually recognize your FMA icons now ;P

Seriously though, it wouldn't have been made if not for you. And I'm thrilled that you like it so much. And thank you for being so damn persistent in getting me to give the series a chance. I didn't expect to like it so damn much. Third disc this weekend!

[theladyfeylene]

Heehee, I bet!

I'm really happy that I could inspire you to make such an awesome video. And I'm more than happy to have bugged you until you watched the series. ;) I'm just happy that you like it. Yes! I'm looking forward to it.

[lennaofmidearth]

*blush* Thank you. I hope to make more vids this winter - what they'll be I don't know. I have to say I'm really surprised by the feedback for this one. I didn't expect to be so well received.

I really am enjoying it much more than I expected to. And I don't see that changing as I watch more :D

[ex_mikazuki336]

Fey let me know about this. :) It's so great! It all flows together so nicely. And so emotional.. *sniffles*

I just wanted to tell you how gorgeous I think it is. And the fact that you made it using only 4 episodes is extra impressive. Thanks for sharing!

[lennaofmidearth]

Thank you! Yeah, I found the combination of this song with them to be very emotional. That's why I had to vid it :D

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch it and comment. It means a lot to me for those who like the series to like this vid.
