When I came home on the 14th Sept to a huge parcel on my kitchen table I was estatic. Not only because I have since decided that Advent Children is one of the most stunningly beautiful pieces of art ever created but because I wasn't expecting my Advent Pieces to turn up on the Japanese release day.

Yeap, I paid an extortionate amount of money for the full blown Advent Pieces collection!

But AC is so stunning, I'm glad I updated by graphics card to a top of the range model not to long ago, because I was able to take advantage of my top notch computer to drool over the DVD instead of having to negotiate time with my parents to watch a non-english language/subtitled on the main TV.

I WILL however make them watch it when it's released in English. They aren't too interested in Anime or games (although I have made them sit through enough FF playing for them to recognise most of the items that appear-nothing is weirder than my 60 year old Dad telling me I need to use a pheonix down on a fainted character or an ether on a character that's run out of magic) but they WILL watch it (and my Dad will probably enjoy it a little-he likes it when I make Cloud use omnislash so I'm sure he'll enjoy the full blown AC version of it!).

Oh, and as a Cloti fan, I LOVED the ending! I know the triangle is still open is some peoples eyes but, in my opinion, Cloti is highly favoured.

Now to wait for DOC and see more Vincent (and hopefully Vincent transformations!).
