Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

How to Get Someone into FMA as Strangely as Possible

This silly post is inspired by a friend of mine.

On New Year's Eve, we were hanging around my apartment talking about our various interests and watching stupid YouTube videos. Somehow, the topic of anime came up, despite the fact that my friend isn't an anime fan.

I had been waiting for the moment when I could tell her about the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. I had rehearsed in my head how I'd pitch it to her. Here's what I said to her about FMA: It's about a double amputee and a suit of armor. They're brothers! Then I went on about how they use alchemy and battle the seven deadly sins personified.

Believe it or not, she was intrigued.

I wrote the manga's name down for her and she checked some volumes out of the library. Unfortunately, she hasn't gotten to far due to her hectic life. I hope she likes the series and that I didn't oversell it. If she does like it, then I can show her all the stupid FMA YouTube videos I found.
