The Spellsingers don't have to write lyrics, they can just pick appropriate songs that they already know. Jon-Tom discovers his power by playing "Purple Haze" and getting a lot of purple smoke. I know a few which would be useful during a battle (Heather Alexander's "March of Cambreadth", Slipknot's "Pulse of the Maggots", etc) but in everyday circumstances ... I could get Jon-Tom home, though. See "Los Angeles, I'm Yours"; if it didn't bring him home, it'd make him stop wanting to go back there. (It's a Decemberists song about how horrible Los Angeles is. Yeah, they're a weird band.)

The command word tends to be specific to each item individually. Probably they'd be the same for all the arrows in the set (quiver, whatever), but there isn't a specific word that would work for all everbright arrows ever.

The FMA dub is pretty good. It's one of the few that I can actually stand. The Brotherhood dub cast is mostly the same as the one for the first anime, so it should be just as good.

I don't want a compendium of what's wrong with chocolate. It'd ruin the experience.

I know that I can't. It really angers me when they use a terrible voice for an awsome character.
Hikaru no Go Example: Japanese voice for Fugiwara no Sai is cool. The English voice makes him sound prissy. I cried.

They put out official subs every week, I think, or they were. Only available if you live in America though, which resulted in many irritated people outside of the States and thus no decrease in fansubbing of the series. There was even a proper, subbed DVD of the first three eps shown at ComicCon this year, which was awesome.
*wanders off to LJ comm*
Yeah, the majority of the dub cast has already been announced.
Oh, this was the channel messing around and editing the show on top of what the American censors had already done to it. They pretty much made Naruto unwatchable for me, even if I had been able to overlook the voice acting. And they weren't fighting with edged weapons, because there were no edged weapons, or even blunt weapons for that matter, in sight. Stupid censors. It wasn't like they were putting it on in the middle of the day. It was after the watershed.

As for the analogy... perhaps we can arrange to have that grave filled with dirt. ;)

I remember you! Good to see some of the oldbies are still around.
*scratches head* Yeah, I think I might have to go find a more anime-centric board to beg for a beta-reader. Still, it's good to be back!

A reviewer likened the story to a zombie repeatedly lurching out of its grave. I enjoy the analogy. Hopefully this new electric cattle prod I bought will keep it out of the grave for a while. :)
(I actually had to re-read the entire story, too. It has been a looooooooong time).

It always amazes me when people think that they can make a show where the main characters fight with edged weapons "bloodless". If the character has a blade, then there is going to be blood somewhere. Censoring that = ridiculous.
Yeah, I might cave and watch Brotherhood sub'd, but I'm going to try to hold out. It looks like the Funimation crew is going to get a hold of it, so that's something that promises to be good.

Haven't read it just yet, but good to see you drop by - I lurk mostly these days. I'm looking forward to the last book!
Unfortunately my knowlege of FMA manga is pitiful at best. Good luck finding a beta!

Do we have something like that for Halo? I would think it would be like mini-sentinels, which in that case:
mini-Sentinel: Master Cheef
mini-Deepcoiler: Mattiemo
