Since I feel a bit weird about writing reviews way in advance and just keeping them in a file I'm going to post my reviews of episodes here as I get to them. These reviews will be EXACTLY what I'm going to post on Mark Watches so I won't be discussing the manga or the 2003 series (and if I feel compelled to I'll put it in ROT13.)
So if anyone is watching for the first time my reviews should be safe to read since these reviews should be Mark Watches safe (unless I have a serious lapse of logic.)
Edit:Oh and for anyone who wants to start watching this it's available (100% legally) here <a href="http:// :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMw9OdKv-uY&list=SPDDAC7E6A5A5B2D83" target="_blank"> <a href="http://:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMw9OdKv-uY&list=SPDDAC7E6A5A5B2D83" target="_blank">:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMw9OdKv-uY&list=SPDDAC7E6A5A5B2D83

I can't believe aliens destroyed the White House already.
Current Progress: Season 2, Episode 8.

I was just going to hold onto these reviews but then I decided that it's still a couple of weeks until Mark starts it so why not post them here first. I'm pretty excited to finally watch this show (I've nearly watched it so many times before.)

The final timestamp!
Current Progress: "Not the End"

This week on RANDOM QUESTION!
Name up to three fictional characters that left a big impact on your life.
Mine: Matilda Wormwood (seriously, I wanted to BE Matilda when I was little), Eliza Thornberry (a girl who talked to animals? Yeah, she was my childhood hero), and Harry Potter from Harry Potter (not only was it a huge part of my childhood, but Harry himself was a great main character and hero.)

Previous progress: Season 3 Episode 7: "Measure of Salvation"
Once I start watching a set of episodes, I can easily continue until I need to go do something else (often that's sleep). But for some reason, it's difficult for me to start watching in the first place.

FMA BROTHERHOOD LIVEBLOG!!!!
This liveblog is for both people who want to rewatch the show for when Mark watches it, and for newbies! So, NEWBIES WELCOME!
Here's a bit of a blurb if you are on the fence about watching, or if you don't even know what it is about.
FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a very faithfull adaptation of the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist". Another anime was released back in 2003 that only followed the manga for roughly the beginning of the story, and diverges incredibly afterward. You are all of course welcome to check out that show as well, though it will spoil you for some events in Brotherhood.
The genre of the show is mostly action/drama, with political elements, emotional scenes as well as funny ones, often wonderful animation, the greatest cast of female characters I have EVER seen in an anime series, continuity that is remarkable and a real treat to watch, a plot that keeps you guessing, and fantastic writing.
Here is a simple quote that both sets the stage for the story, and is relevant throughout its run: "Humankind cannot gain anything without giving something in return. To obtain something, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange."
Oh, and you are NOT prepared.
Schedule and Details:
Firstly, you can watch the show here for the English Dub: http://www.watchcartoononline.com/anime/full-meta... (Note, you'll have to use version two on the video for the first episode), or here on Youtube for the subs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMw9OdKv-uY&li...
We will be watching Sunday-Wednesday at 6:30 PM EST.
This week we will be watching the following:
Sunday (Today): Episode One, "Fullmetal Alchemist"
Monday April 8th: Episode Two, "The First Day"
Tuesday April 9th: Episode Three, "City of Heresy"
Wednesday April 10th: Episode Four, "An Alchemist's Anguish"
As there may be Newbies in this thread, please use ROT3 for all spoilers. This includes comparisons to the 2003 series. Nunnning is encouraged and expected. ;)
It would be advised to be ready a few minutes beforehand, so that we're all prepared to start together.
Also, much like on Mark Watches, please state if this is your first time watching the show or not. :)
I myself will be doing liveblogging as well as a "Final Thoughts" post about the episode. It is the "Final Thoughts" post that will make it to the Mark Watches website, with perhaps some mentions from the liveblog.
Okay everyone, I will see you this evening!

Could I get a timestamp bump, please?
Current Progress: Season 1, Episode 14

(first page bump if there's room?)
I splurged on season 2, have season 1, and the library has them all so I'm actually going to watch in order.

Yes, this is my NaPoWriMo thread. Awesome GIFs and other people's poems are always appreciated.

This week we read the last book: The Other Wind. And since it only has 5 chapters, I guess we're reading the whole thing.
We should pick a book to move on to. And does someone else want to be in charge of this thing for the next book?

What kind of brilliant idea has this man just had? Read on and I'll tell you all about it.
Oh, and change the time-stamp on this post, or however that works, please.

(The timestamp thingy would be cool, but being on page 3 really isn't so bad anyway...)

Also, I was planning on visiting London sometime this summer, and Mark's going to be there for the UK LeakyCon in August. How many different cities can I meet him in? How much can I freak him out? :p

I like to think these threads serve as the lounge areas before and after we actually rewatch the episodes. :3
Plaint text spoilers, and possibly talk of sensitive duck tongues, in the reply.

So we’re back! With only a handful of series left to premiere, I’m working my way through as many of the new shows as I can. For a quick rundown of what I covered last week, I’m gonna be aping JesuOtaku’s anime Derby system, and splitting the shows I’ve covered so far into Green, Yellow, and Red flag groups.
Green (I liked it, plan to continue with it)
RDG Red Red Data Girl
Devil Survivor 2: The Animation
The Severing Crime Edge
Yellow (It was mixed, I might check it out later on)
Karneval
The Devil is a Part-timer!
Majestic Prince
Red (Not worth following up on)
Date A Live
Purple Polka-dot On a Field of Orange and Vermillion (I’m intrigued by it in a really weird way, Not entirely sure about what I just watched)
The Flowers of Evil
So far the shows I’ve covered have been pretty interesting. There’s certainly a lot of variety compared to winter season, and there’s still a number of highly anticipated titles waiting to premiere. Coming up this week:
Attack on Titan
Valvrave the Liberator
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet
My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected
Photo Kano
Arata Kangatari
Mushibugyou
Zettai Bouei Leviathan
Sadly, as it stands right now, one show looks to have neither an official stream or a fansub group interested in covering it, so unless that suddenly changes I won’t be covering Henneko.
