Good point! So, am I the only one who reads/watches One Piece on this forum? It's pretty much the only one of the Big 3 in my opinion that has actual good story-sttucture.
I read it out of habit. I'm more about romances, comedies, romantic comedies, and stuff for girls, so I'm not that big on it.
And I'm more 0n action adventure. Though I do love a good romance from time to time. Emphasis on "good", I'm really picky when it comes to romance stories. What's really good, like a really good romance manga in your opinion?

Ano Natsu was worked on by two people from Please Teacher, one being the director I think.
Fate/Zero has started up again.
First episode broadcast features the fight between the possessed fighter jet and the ancient Sumerian flying machine. Yiiiiiiiis.

Well. That explains it. He appears to like stories about everydudes who meet hot aliens.
I'm going to wait for the series to finish, then marathon it like I did F/SN. Also, as you get through Ano Natsu there are apparently things that loosely tie it to Please Teacher.
They're going to casually toss around terms that get introduced in the Heaven's Feel route of FSN, so some of the references are going to go over your head.
Also, since I'm now not the only person watching FZ, I'll do my best to keep casual spoilers to a minimum. Although, if you've watched FSN, you should be able to guess how FZ is going to end.

Yeah I've not played the FS VN's, I'm still procrastinating on finishing Majikoi! It's not as engaging as KS was so far, though I'm still in the pre-route days (a day or two past Chris and Wanko's first fight).
Also, everyone should be watching Space Brothers, Upotte! and Acchi Kochi if nothing else this season, they're all super good. Acchi Kochi is shaping up to be a funny SoL/romance so far in the first episode, Space Brothers is just plain good, and Upotte! is cute gun-girls doing cute things.

It's pretty good. Though I feel they should have had more than 13 eps. The story felt a little scrunched.
Anyone read BlackJack? I friggin' love that series. Hokey medical sci-fi at it's best.
I'd say read the Manga, but it's on hiatus right now for some reason, while we wait for Ch. 30. It's been over a year though. The author's other series, Triage X, is still running though.
Honestly, just get the English volumes for now. The manga goes a little bit further than the TV series (they've left the Mall and found another parent).

Watching MM! It's good times.
I liked this one a lot. Sadly the LN's author died.
Yeah, last year. The LN is unfinished and I doubt they'd animate whatever is left.
Speaking of painful things, I watched the first episode of Shining Hearts: Holy Shit Do We Love Bread. It was about 26 minutes of, well, bread. It's based off a JRPG so I assumed it wouldn't just focus on the bread-baking side quests, but apparently I was wrong.

Hi Friends.
Should I watch FMA before FMA: Brotherhood?

So, I should watch FMA: Brotherhood?
They are two completely different stories, but both are worth watching. Watch FMA The Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa for the finale of the first series. Brotherhood doesn't have a movie yet, I think.
I agree that both are worth watching, and would probably suggest the original FMA first. Brotherhood rushes through the material it shares with FMA, making several moments lose weight. I wish you could just watch the first X episodes of the first one, then start brotherhood at episode Y, but there's just enough plot differences in the shared material to make that confusing.
If you want to watch two 50+ episode series, watch both.
If you only want to watch one, go Brotherhood.
If you only want to watch one, go Brotherhood.
Yeah, I'd say that too. Brotherhood gets the message of the series out a lot better than FMA did, especially it's ending.
Hmm, I'm going to have to disagree. Given the choice between the two, I'd keep the original. While the ending plot for Brotherhood was better than FMA's ending plot and there some Brotherhood characters that I'd miss, the original really hit the tone right and immerses you in the story, and the plot and characters it did well it did really well. That's my two cents anyway.
I think the problem with FMA is that the movie continued the story after it was at a satisfying ending, undoing a lot of the sacrifice that Ed and Al had to make for their bittersweet ending. If it had taken place during the events of the series and not after, I think I'd think more fondly of FMA.
Interesting, I always saw the ending of the series as purposfully open-ended, with the events that happen during the movie being the implied future (or at least, a very real possibility). Still, the movie and the ending of the series are definitely the weakest points of the original series, the bulk of the rest of the series just outweights them for me. I just wish back when FMA was made the first time the anime crew at least had the notes for the upcoming plot in the manga to use, because then it would have been abso-freaking-lutely amazing all the way through.
I prefer Brotherhood, partially because the humor works better, but I also feel like it fleshed out the other characters besides Ed/Al better (the ones like Winry, Roy, their father, etc that actually matter to the story). Also, the fights are much better, in my opinion, though obviously not the focus of the series.
If you have time for both, watch both. If you want one, I prefer Brotherhood as well.
