鋼の錬金術師 Season 2 - What a disappointment

From the perspective of someone who has watched Season 1. I knew that it's not a new story or what-so-ever, but the re-tell from the manga side. However, I was so hoping for something new from the manga (never read it). I knew that some point in the future, it's going to be different, but may be that's due to the fact that it's now 8 episodes and it's still on the original story line...I think that <= 5 episodes would have been enuf for the re-tell part (that's not different from Season 1). The BIGGEST problem is that, it's only, what, 2-3 years since Season 1 + movie, so the story is still fresh in everyone's mind (who watch the show).

On another anime subject - I thought that the 4th movie of Keroro Gunso has already been out (and over with). However, I have NOT seen any recent mentioning of the movie on the TV episodes on DVD sales. I took a look on the box office figures and boy, dunno if the economy has anything to do with the dismal numbers (in 3 weeks, it dropped out of box office chart IN JAPAN!). I believe it must have...(& btw, the TV series has gone downhill a lot too. Well, 6 yrs and ideas are running out - that's why u don't see a 6 yrs run on Gundams, or Ultraman!)

And speaking of dismal, DragonBall was really really suck. I mean, COME ON! Why changed the story to fit it to the US audience? Just by watching the trailer made me wanted to puke :( Some 20 yrs ago, there was a Thai adoption of the Dragonball movie, and I thought it sucked back then...
