But.

Full Metal Alchemist creeps me out.

And trying to read "How to Do Business with the Japanese," written by a German, translated into English...while Jim watches Hellboy on the hotel television - is a total mindfuck.

Drive through....

What precisely is creeping you out about it?

I'm not a horror nut - far from it. The stuff repeats on me like bad pizza.

Jim and I sat through the whole first DVD before we left to go to Chicago - all four episodes in one sitting - (I think it was four) - which might not have been wise.

I think it's the whole zombie bit - crossed with the concept that even life can be recreated and manipulated like quicksilver that got me.

That, and the first baddie claimed to be a divine representative who brought the dead back to life - but was a sham all along, and was replaced by someone even worse at the end. Strike that - got eaten by a worse baddie, and then replaced with an even worse baddie than the guy who ate him. *shivers*

Anime consistently has more menacing baddies than anything else around, I swear. You want worse, you have to go to the horror flicks - which I won't do.
