Anime:
I've finally watched Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro and, while it wasn't nearly as good as other Miyazaki movies(Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke are very difficult standards to match up to...Castle in the Sky, too) it was rather fun. It's about 2 young sister's who, along with their father, move to a new house in the countryside and discover forest spirits living in the area who only children can see. It was cute(if odd even for Miyazaki) but rather like Kiki's Delivery Service in that while I wouldn't object to seeing it again, it's doubtful that I'll get the urge to watch it specifically again.
I've also watched the first 3 episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena.
Manga:
I caved to Fullmetal Alchemist scanslations and am midway through chapter 55(which I think will be around vol 13-14?) I must say, I though Mustang was going to get to keep the "stupidest decision in this series" trophy a coule chapters ago, but dang...I think Ling is going to have it throughout the series after this. Ran Fan will NOT approve.

Manga-centric one. I think![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
forgottenpolishis the only other person on my flist who reads this title, but has anyone noticed vol 3 of Maki Fujita's Platinum Garden at Borders, Waldenbooks, etc? It came out last month, but it hasn't shown up here yet and it doesn't show up in the computers here, and I wwwaaaaannnnntttttt it. Can anyone look next time they're there, and maybe get me the ISBN, or see what it's listed as in the computers? *big begging eyes*
Quick Rec:
Supernatural fans might be interested in checking out Rob Thurman's books. Similar concept of supernatural fighting brothers, but in comparison to Cal and Nico Leandros, the Winchester brothers have had a light, fluffy angst-free life. There are only 2 books out so far, Nightlife and Moonshine The second(which I'm about 2/3 through) just came out. I'll likely do a more proper rec later.
