I have three Crunchyroll guest passes if anybody's interested. I never do anything with them so figured I'd ask. I think most people here have subscriptions though.

Just finished Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I really, really liked it and it was the longest series I've watched before. It took a number of episodes to get properly interesting but I have some issues with the series as a whole. I'd definitely still recommend it.

I still haven't gotten around to watching Brotherhood. I absolutely love the original anime, though it was one I never saw to completion because Adult Swim and poor sleeping habits.

My issue with Fullmetal Alchemist is basically that it gets too "big" towards the end. It just tries to get a bit too epic in scale as far as the final conflict goes and I really don't like when shows do that (unless it's blatantly over-the-top and purposefully so like Gurren Lagann). I just feel like the author loses a level of constraint when that happens and it pulls me out of it.

Also Winry's meh and you should feel bad.

But yeah it's a great series outside of me being so-so on how the ending unfolded. The resolution to the brothers' problem is fantastic, though, and one I didn't see coming. I loved that solution.

Yeah, it was very, very busy and hard to keep track of where everyone and everything was. I definitely agree on the resolution with the brothers thing, it was really great. I feel I can just go on and on about what went wrong in the series but I still loved it. It's very weird.

A sign of how truly good anything is is if you can point out all of its faults, nitpick it to death, and, at the end of the day, you still enjoy the ever-loving fuck out of it.

So the new season is upon us, and I really don't have that much that I want to see. I haven't read super in-depth into the new shows, but I know that I want to watch Mushishi Zoku Shou 2nd Season, as well as the new Trigger anime. What are you guys going to watch?

Fate/stay night being the obvious thing I am watching. Might give that Ghibli series a try, I didn't even know they knew how to make anything other than movies and a game I still need to play. Beyond that, there's an Infinite Stratos OVA that I will probably watch whenever I can bring myself to finish the series (goddamn idiot harem protags, ho!) and Sword Art Online, though I haven't watched any of this new season yet.

EDIT: and, yeah, probably that new Trigger because Trigger.

Mushishi, Sailor Moon, the Trigger show, Grisaia no Kajitsu, FSN

Looks less barren than I'd have thought, but most of this is continuing shows. Whatever. I could use the time to catch up on other things, etc. Also leaves a lot of room if I hear about anything worth a fuck in spite of these meh premises.

I think that Trigger show is going to disappoint a lot of people. It's fully possible it turns out better than it currently looks and sounds, but the things that made Kill la Kill great were mostly the traits of a specific person (the director, who was also the director of a lot of other fun/ridiculous/over-the-top shows like Gurren Lagann) than the traits of Studio Trigger, in my opinion. The director of this show has worked with the director of KLK/Gurren Lagann on a few occasions, so maybe his style has rubbed off on him a bit, but my expectations are pretty low.

Grisaia and Cross Ange have been announced as Crunchyroll simulcasts woot.

I don't know what to expect from it. I'm just interested to see if they can do something that isn't essentially Gurren Lagann with a new coat of paint and a different premise. Unless, of course, this turns into Gurren Lagann 3.0. (KLK is obviously 2.0, but that's okay since both were worth watching.)

Pretty much this.
