FMA: Brotherhood Episode 16 Discussion

I can't believe it's Thursday already. Has this week flown by for everyone, or is it just me?

Enjoy: Footsteps of a Comrade-in-Arms

Inuyasha on iTunes

I know, I know, two posts from me in one day. Shocking. Anyway, according to ANN, the first 13 episodes of Inuyasha are available for download from iTunes. If that was it though, this would hardly be worth blogging about. Apparently the first episode of the series is also 100% free to download until August 31st. Not really a gigantic fan of IY here, but still, that's a free, legit digital copy of an anime episode. Just thought that was interesting.

FMA Manga Vol. 19

Did anyone know this was even out yet? I was somewhat pleasantly surprised to walk into Borders yesterday and see it sitting on the manga shelf. It was only about a month or so ago I was reading through #18. Anyway, I suppose the discussion can start in the comments if enough people have picked it up and read it. I'll hold back on mine for now in case not enough people have yet.

And oh yeah, off topic, but I also found Baccano! Vol. 1 on sale at Best Buy for just over $10. Yesterday really was a good day for me anime/manga purchase-wise.

farewell furuba...

The final volume of Fruits Basket was released earlier this month. I know I'm not alone in feeling like this story has an amazing ability to reach into our hearts and help us want to live our own lives a little better. Am I getting a little deep for a manga? I don't think so. Not with this one.

So, brush off your chapters (if it's been ages since you've read the final chapters like me - maybe I'm due for a reread of the entire series come to think of it) or open your new volume from the bookstore (just ordered my final volume last night, sigh), and discuss what about this series that you loved.

FMA: Brotherhood Episode 15

It's 10am Central, and Episode 15: Envoy from the East is online.

Haruhi Suzumiya "New" Episodes - What the hell is going on?

I'm going to actually contain my thoughts on this in the comments, as this deals with spoilers. But I don't want that to turn you (if you don't want Haruhi spoilers) away, though. This is...well, whenever you do get to see episode 13+, you'll see what I'm ranting about.

FMA: Brotherhood Episode 14

Now online, Episode 14, Those Who Lurk Underground.

Haruhi Suzumiya 9 - 12

More eps of The Melancholy Haruhi Suzumiya are on youtube through July 12 - this time 9 through 12 with 12 being yet another new one (source: ANN). Brian and I watched the other 'new' ep, "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", this past weekend and remembered all over again why we loved this series.

So, question: does anyone know exactly what is going on with these new episodes? This isn't a second season, right? From what I've read, these new episodes run chronologically in the middle of the others. Of course, I didn't watch the series in chronological order to begin with, and it doesn't seem to really matter with this series. It's crazy just as it is (and I like it that way). Anyway, I would love to know if there is any word on a real second season. I am already planning on buying the Complete Collection, but if there's more in store for the future, that's even better.

FMA: Brotherhood Episode 13

Let's see if I do this right... Episode 13, Beasts of Dublith is available on Funi's website now.
