I enjoyed the first "Fullmetal Alchemist," but I have to say that "Fullmetal
Alchemist: Brotherhood" is significantly better. Darker, more complex, and
supposedly very faithful to the original manga. And more great music.
Haven't seen FLCL yet, but my daughter has already discovered The Pillows
via Pandora. (Like I said, she has good taste.) Sadly, another band whose
music seems very difficult to get hold of in the US.
What I'm getting from this thread is: 1) Yes, there is some great Japanese
power pop; and 2) No, most of it isn't available domestically. I guess I'm
going to have to decide which CDs are worth $50 to import.
