Soul Eater did a similar thing with the manga to anime. Starts out almost verbatim, but as they were catching up with the manga. Suddenly switched events in a weird direction.
 
I do agree that the Fullmetal Alchemist movie was 'interesting', but the ending left me feeling as empty as the ending to the series did. I just couldn't stand how shafted Winry is in the series.
There is also the Code Geass manga. That tries to follow the basic story, but it doesn't even have the KMFs. That's what made Suzaku such a threat to Lelouch.
 
What are elfs for if not for having sex with?
 
I used to be into Gargoyles, but I sort of dropped out around when they got around to the 'daughter' of Goliath, Angela. I did think Elisa Maza was pretty hot.
 
Hey, if you want to know about One Piece. Check the site. I've filled out fairly details information about every episode up to about episode 321. I think my defense of One Piece was.....impassioned.
 
Maria+Holic is great because it twists and pokes fun at the entire yuri/school life/trap series. It takes every cliche and warps it. Mariya is a sadist. He kissed her after learning she's a lesbian and allergic to boys. It was part of his sick sense of humor.
 
C.C.(shi-tsu) pronounced as "Cee-Two". I just wander if this is the actually C.C. or an alternate reality version of C.C.?
 
Did Babs give you that cold? She's been sick so often. She might of become like Typhoid Mary. lol That, or you have been pushing Moyashimon so much the germs have infected you.

Just so you know elves go both ways. BOTH WAYS so ya Alistar doesn't actually discriminate. Anyway I have yet to play Dragon Age: Origins but a friend of mine tells me Morrigan despite being so deep in her contempt for others does take a liking to getting railed now and then but the fairer sex doesn't intrest her. Although he said you can find some girl love with this human rouge/bard if you really are itching for it Gia. Although the actual love scene cut scenes look far more tame than Mass Effect (although not as much as Jade Empire was back in 2005) at least the ones I've seen (internet reactionary stuff where someone posted the girl love or boy love scene and it was funny to see everyone freak out) where it's two sort of janky looking characters in their undergarments cuddling with maybe something that vaguely resmebles a sexual position or a really akward makeout kind of shot and that it. I mean in ME they stepped it up some showing some sideboob and a digital ass cheek (which still isn't really titalating unless your like some sexually frustrated teen I guess) 
 
Also I hear there is an implied threeway and foursome later on in the story (kind of flash to black thing and a bunch of inneuendo)  
 
Oh and to elaborate on John's mention of Mass Effect breaking boundaries you could have interspecies sex with a monogender (also means the concept of gender is meaningless to her so the romance is available to both male and female) humanoid species that look like kind of like Mystique. 
 
  
   
 
Not bad for a 106 year old. 
 
The Gargoyles talk was great. 
  
Nice it sounds like Brad's back now @20 minute mark or so. 
 
Mass Effect 2 hitting January 26th 2010 get ready.  
 
Hey Gia in regards to prison yaoi I'm wondering what your thoughts on this are. 
 
  
   
 
OH John you need to do a dramatic reading of some really cheezy yaoi manga I think that would be hilarious assuming the dialogue consists primarly of really terrible setups for a sex scene.

@Konanda:  
 why is it that almost every alien race must at least have slight humanoid resemblance for sex scenes [save for the tentacles]
