Those of you who have been following WHITE ALBUM and have been reading my weekly writeups probably know that I haven’t been the biggest fan of the show – partly because of its style, but largely because I don’t care for most of the cast of characters. You may also have heard the announcement that WHITE ALBUM is going to be two seasons long, with the second half airing this fall. Many people saw this news and felt better about the series because it seemed to explain the deliberate pacing, and it meant that they probably weren’t going to rush an ending. For someone like myself, however, whose interest level in the show has dropped as it went on, instead of it being “Well there’s only a few more episodes, I can stick with it for that long just to see the ending,” I’m now faced with 16 more episodes of a series I’m not particularly excited about or even fond of. So I decided there wasn’t any point in me continuing with it and that my time was better spent elsewhere (like catching up with Rideback). My apologies to anyone who was following those posts and does enjoy the show – I hate dropping series, but I just can’t motivate myself to continue with this one.

Given what Setsuna said about change, Graham questions if that’s the pinnacle of what Setsuna has achieved.

Another two weeks and another new FMA commercial, this time with a lot of scenes from probably the first episode or episodes, including shots of Winry. It also featured the ending song 「嘘」 (Uso) by the group SID which sounds decent, but it’s hard to really tell with just a 15 second clip. I think this commercial may be a bit overshadowed though by the news that much of the cast for this new series is changing from the old one. Ed and Al will still be Paku Romi and Kugimiya Rie, but most of the rest of the cast is different, including the voice actors for Winry (now Takamoto Megumi), Mustang (now Miki Shinichirou), and even Lust (now Inoue Kikuko). Should be interesting to see how that works out.

Kyon finally confesses, and Achakura has her first hina matsuri. Or rather, IS her first hina matsuri…
