the manga is good, but the anime is just so well executed that I can't help but recommend it.

take note, the Gintama anime is the frog fractions of anime.

if you watch it and ask "why does everyone love Gintama?" then go back and watch more episodes of Gintama.

I get where you're coming from. It's why I like so much of Hulu's stuff being free in HD and not needing a Plus subscription (with ads, sure, but no different than TV). I've gladly watched most of the bigger shows on there lately (Aldnoah, Durarara, Psycho Pass, Fate/stay Night...).

Speaking of...

*checks*

Drat. They don't have it either haha.

Crunch troll does free stream with adds but new episode are added later then with premium.

Mahou Shoujo lyrical girl nanoha vivid is up at great start and I love it. Adapted first few chapter great

UBW is back, so I'm happy I have something to watch while helping my friends catch up.

So, I finished Fullmetal Alchemist 2003. And I really liked it. I think that for an ending that (from what I've head) had nothing to do with the manga, it was very well done. So, is the movie a sequel to this show or Brotherhood?

The movie, Conqueror of Shamballa is to tie up the loose ends of Fullmetal Alchemist 2003.

Debating whether to start LBX, Tenkai Knights, Futari Wa Pretty Cure or YuGiOh Arc-V. Any thoughts & feelings on these shows? Why or why not?

Tenkai Knights is amazing. I think I literally might love the show more than LBX. :)
Futari Wa Pretty Cure is something I have no knowledge on, but I did watch a couple of episodes of Arc-V and I enjoyed it. Even the Pendulum Swing thing is pretty cool. I'd go with Tenkai Knights though.

I would probably reccomend futari wa pretty cure and then the following pretty cure seasons since those are good.

Yessss! Yamada was put up on my usual site.

The first episode ended about where I expected it to. I think next week will be a good job for how the pacing's going to be, which still remains my biggest concern with the show.

But hey, animated Yamada! Not a bad start.
