Silverthorne

So...I read what was available online--102 chapters. Close to endgame but not quite. Argh. Can we please get to the serious (well, even more serious) bad guy ass-kicking now?

My overall comment at this point is that I hope someone bludgeons Truth over the head with a spiked happy stick.

Not even worried about the other baddies. I just want Truth hurt.

Ohwait, Truth tends to hurt anyway.

(I know, I know--BAD PUN. Leave me alone; I've fried my brain on this stuff today. :P )

In other news, the swelling is mostly gone, and I've managed to pull my own nose back into position and have it stay that way. Most of the pain is gone now, too. By the time they get that stupid doc appointment set up, it's going to be like nothing happened. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.

Also; my rental washer died during the first wash cycle and is currently off and full of water. Guess what I'll be doing on the rest of my free time tomorrow...bah. :/

I'm probably late to the party with this one, but...

Funimation.com is running the newest incarnation of Fullmetal Alchemist on their site. It's apparently a more faithful adaption of the manga arc, especially since that's apparently finished now. I've watched eps 1-3 so far, and they're doing a rushed variation of the eps from the first series (I guess the original anime was accurate up to a point). Animation is a little different, and they let more humor in this time (Don't mind the animation, although I like the original series better. The humor breaks though...eh, I got used to the more consistently series tone. But I'll live), and of course, the stuff that was in the first series is being a little glossed over. But then, hopefully that means the 'new' material will show up sooner. Still, it's good, if a little odd to watch after getting the first series on DVD and watching it for the past year or so...

DVDs are not available yet, because the series is still running in Japan. The American team is working on dubbing as they get episodes though, and from what I understand, the whole original english cast will be in on it (not so much with the Japanese cast, though, from what I understand).

Anyway, Funimation is running subtitled episodes roughly a week after they air in Japan, and the newest is episode 37.

Watching is free. And the connection is pretty good; even on my crappy DSL the only time it's siezed up on me is when the phone rang (which is...normal. :P)
