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.

Viz Media Survey

Just FYI, Viz Media is taking a fan survey. There are even prizes involved.

Actually I don't even care if I get the prizes. There's a part at the end of the survey that lets you add titles you'd like to see from Viz. And you guys already know that I want those FMA guidebooks. Yep, it always comes back to FMA. But that's how I roll. And it's pretty convenient that Viz licensed the manga, so I didn't really have a reason not to suggest they publish the guidebooks. So, if they actually publish them, that would be just as good a prize as a bunch o' free DVDs.

I'm just kicking myself for not mentioning T7DS. D'oh! But I'm sure they're competing for it. Heck, I don't care if Viz gets it or not. Just somebody better get it soon because they just aired an episode with one of my favorite scenes from the manga and I'm going crazy because I can't watch it! I know I could watch a fan sub, but the people who make those are trolls.

Keep the Dream Alive!

As many of you know, today is FMA Day. If you don't know why October 3rd has been designated FMA Day, you need to watch/read the series.

It's true that the manga and both anime have long since ended. The fandom is starting to wane. We won't be getting any new releases. Unless...

See this? This is a little treat for Fullmetal Alchemist nerds. Note how it says "Volume 1". After some research, I learned that there are actually FOUR of such books, although only one has been translated into English.

Being a nerd who sponges up information about everything I obsess over, but not knowing Japanese, I am at a disadvantage. I'm sure that many of you are in this very same boat. Whether it be interviews, character bios, timelines, or cute little comics, I'm sure we've craved this at one point or another.

I'd love to email Viz, the publisher of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga to make the other three guides available in English, but it seems that they don't have one for this sort of inquiry. Heck, they don't have any publicly displayed emails at all. But I clicked their "Contact" page to find that they have a P.O. Box. LET US BOMBARD THEM WITH SNAIL MAIL!

Now who's with me?

Coincidentally, I won a Premium on theO on this very day last year, and I have renewed it. That's how much I love this site.
