113 I stopped taking the second season seriously after episode 7 with emo!Lelouch. I just enjoy it for all it's train wreck-y worthy. 8)
145 ARGH, ok, so I get that Aru is a Japanese play on words with the "To live/exist" thing, and thus has some merit as Alphonse's name, but Edo? WTF that bugs me to no end. I can't stand the whole Edo/Aru thing. They may be from an alternate universe, but it's pretty clear in the series that they speak ENGLISH, if not some other form of Indo-European languge.
Al's nickname is clearly a short form of Alphonse, so how the hell do you get "Aru" out of that. </rant>
