Started reading Strangers from Hell, which is low-key disturbing (and possibly more disturbing for being so low-key disturbing). It references the idea that "hell is other people" a lot at the onset, which works given the setting where this guy is moving into a heavily-communal apartment building where all of the residents are mysterious, creepy, and seemingly hate each other.

And in like the first chapter where the guy is out drinking with his boss / former classmate, the two witness some guy getting beat up in the street and the boss tells him to just play it out... and then they come out and the dude is dead, so the boss is encouraging him to just move quickly so they don't have to deal with the cops asking questions. Kinda sets the tone for the series.

I should have mentioned it before, but Saturday was FMA day (the date etched into Ed's pocket watch). I watched the original show and movie recently, so today I watched the OVA collection. It was cooler than I remembered, with a large scale original fight scene. Guess I'll start on Brotherhood pretty soon.

tbh, I still remember the scene where they burn down their home when, at the time, I thought about the fact that it's not even legal to burn stuff in your yard where I live and here they're burning their whole house.
