Old men in glasses versus young love limited

Both shows celebrate love in all its myriad imperfections but it's a foregone conclusion that Hatsukoi would be much more popular given the gorgeous girls featured in it in stark contrast to the middle-aged men of Paradiso (j1m0ne's EWWWWWW wrt the latter takes the cake in my book). Nonetheless kudoes, in particular, to Shounen A and Jesus159 for their useful and entertaining coverage of this less popular series.

1. I may be unhappy but there's no need to act like the people addressed by the following lyrics from U2's One:

You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Zaku Spring Impressions

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

  • I was going to be all tsundere about this series - mainly because I hated the ending of the first iteration - but this first episode had such a great mix of action, recap and humour.
  • Addicted to the OP - Electric guitar riff after the opening line and the scenes with Riza and Winry mouthing lyrics shot me through the heart / and you're too late / the guys give love a bad name.
  • Kikuko Inoue-neesan makes me lust after Lust.
