Thanks for the idea, Mika. Now I'm going to spend the rest of my life pondering why I love the things I love most. Like so. <3 I love being so addictive. Rah, rah, rahrahrah. . . Oh yeah, Lady GaGa. For sure. She's the only hiphop artist I like. FTW.

Fullmetal Alchemist
1. Because it's creative. There has literally never been an anime/manga series like this one.
2. Only one of the female characters is useless. And I'm glad she exists - because all of the fanservice is pushed onto her.
3. None of the characters are ridiculously grief-stricken emos.
4. The villains, though you want them dead at the same time, are sickeningly cool. You have to like them. And come on, who else has had the homunculi/Seven Deadly Sins?
5. Royai. Speak for themselves.
6. They don't focus too much on unnecessary shounen.
7. Arakawa keeps to the story instead of getting sidetracked.
8. She doesn't put the story on hiatus ever.
9. The story hasn't dragged on for too long.
10. All of the characters have personalities.


MasonxIsuzu.
1. Because Mason Isaias, in all of his 6'3'', lanky-muscled, brown casual disarray hair, piercing eyes glory, is a sexbomb.
2. Because Isuzu Idriya is not an idiot and can stand up for herself.
3. Neither of them have to sparkle in the sun to show their love for each other.
4. Instead of giving up on life without each other, they move on. Like normal people.
5. She is not smitten by him just because he's good looking. And neither is he.
6. She can nearly match up to his narcissistic attitude. Nearly.
7. She doesn't cheat on her husband for him, even though she wants to.
8. He literally does not have the capacity to love anyone else.
9. Because their story is so, so, so, so, SO sad, yet so grand at the same time.
10. Hmm. The rain scene, the phone booth scene, the scene where she turns him down. . . Yeah, good times.
