Indeed it is.
I seriously recommended The Legend of Legendary Heroes, it has a great story so far, though the season finale is a bit pants.
as an addition to the above, Fairy Tail is EVEN BETTER! Fantastic stuff
well I just watched Shuffle!, Fullmetal Alchemist and Aria the Scarlet Ammo, and started on The Legend of Legendary Heroes... lol, if only youtube had more
you must be a time traveller! if your son is older than you and you started reading WoT in the 80's
and you're British? yay another Brit ... time travelling British guy, the Doctor? 0.o
technically, if you're the dude thats holding the shard of flame (which is synonymous of being the flame), it could be a statue of yourself, or just about anything I guess
I've watched at least 50% of Gundam, I got hooked on that last year lol... I'm also a really big fan(boy) of Studio Ghibli, whos stories are amazing. A:TLA (Avatar) is also pretty awesome. I've not really been bored enough to begin watching a new series recently. Especially since I had other TV shows to watch.
I remember that book, I think we had a copy. It might even be that Sambo was from around where I live...I think there's some sort of tourist attraction near here. Thought that might be totally wrong.
