Yo, I'm Tim.
I'm just a dude that likes vidya games, tokusatsu, chinese cartoons, wrestling, and everything weeby. I've been watching anime on and off since I was a wee lad with Naruto, the unfortunate 4Kids dubs of Ultimate Muscle, and Yu-Gi-Oh but started getting serious around the early spring 2014 season. I've been a writer for MAL Rewrite for a few years at this point. I'm pretty open minded when it comes to genres and enjoy everything once in a good while. Weaknesses include atmospheric slice of lifes and super over the top macho shounen. Please let me know if I haven't seen a show you'd wholeheartedly recommend and I'll give it a look :)

I don't regret a thing, hope the OVA gets ripped in the next month or so.
I'm enjoying part 1, so this is only gonna get better and better.
And one of Berserk's most impressive achievements is definitely its ability to blend elements of fantasy and realism. Every character feels human and even when violence occurs, it isn't done in an overblown fashion. Its battles are realistic, and there are no deus-ex-machinas for Guts to overcome his difficulties. I can go on about its other merits, but I'll let you notice them for yourself. And yes, the movies and 90s series follow the same timeline, so, obviously, Berserk's biggest flaw is its ending.
FMA:B has my favorite cast of characters to date in anime. Not only are all of their personalities lovable, but, most importantly, they ALL serve a role in the plot. So many shows with only 12 or 25 episodes struggle to keep characters relevant past their respective arc/focus episode, and this problem is especially true in long-running shounens, where the main protagonist is the almighty savior and the only one that can make a difference in the story. However, in FMA:B, teamwork actually matters.
Hope you keep having fun with both!
