I think I'm going to ask you all to commit some form of metaphorical seppuku for spoiling FMA:B moments.

Ya, didn't ruin it for me, but SPOILERS!!!!

Or you should just start watching instead of waiting for it to finish ;) :p

:shiftyninja: Not my policy. Just imagine watching Ghost in the Shell episode by episode. I would probably go mad. My watching pattern leans towards the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If I was especially impressed by an anime series like GiTS, Rurouni Kenshin and GTO, then I would rewatch it.

^I watched 2 episodes of GiTS a day. To keep it fun and interesting to watch. Why can't you watch anime series episode by episode? Watching many episodes in one run would make it boring and feel like you HAVE to watch it, instead of watching it for fun.

I meant watching an anime series that has not ended yet. Watching an episode a week does not make it fun for me. I can't imagine waiting a week for each episode of Eureka Seven, Rurouni Kenshin, Black Lagoon or any other anime series. Having all the episodes available and choosing the pace of how much you watch per day is the best way. It's hard to watch more than a few episodes of GiTS a day since there are so many references and details that would be missed if one looked away for a few seconds.

Guess it's time for dattebayo to move on ....

Crunchyroll's simulcast will be available to Premium Subscription members in high definition one hour after each episode's first airing on Japan's TV Tokyo station, and for free in standard definition one week later. The simulcast will be available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The streamed episodes will use English subtitles from Viz Media.

Lol DB will continue to do it they'll just have to kick it up a few gears that's all.

Umm, no.

If and when Crunchyroll obtains a streaming license for Bleach, DB will drop it. We've considered all the options, and there will be no point in continuing to work on it in its current form.

See, that's what we're going through with FMA:B. Not being able to wait, yet we still wait :p By getting 1 episode each week you can still decide the pace of watching. I just can't explain the fun in waiting for a new episode after a huge cliffhanger.

This is a sad day indeed. DB will now just fade away unless they somehow get to work with CrunchyRoll on this project. Oh Well, Hopefully Eclipse or some other group will pick up Bleach and release it in the nice HD format for us all :)

DB's always been a*****s anyway, but they were really good at doing subs and provided really good material when there were none availble. But I think it's there time to go, anyway I think naruto anime was really tone down from the manga version. Manga felt like it was an epic battle between naruto and pain, but somehow it just doesn't feel the same but it's good none the less.

Also shakey spoiler tags use'em when you need'em :laugh: , well it's not that big of a secret anyway :laugh:.

I tried, but after you already post, it doesn't give you the option to add spoiler tags lol.

Just finished the episode, was too short it seemed. They focus more on the village destruction than the fight. This is just a big teaser. Right as the fight gets good, credits. I think this fight just as epic as the manga, but we have only scratched the surface of it so far. But damn, so disappointed that this weeks episode seemed so short in the action area lol.

Spoil Bleach as much as you want to since it's more than 150 episodes long. You can edit your post by clicking the edit button then clicking "Full Editor".

:3 FMA is ending June 27th. The manga is amazing and definitely earns to be in the ranks of Rurouni Kenshin and Monster, unlike Bleach and Naruto.

103 chapters later, my skepticism for the FMA manga/anime series is very high. I cannot imagine how the mangaka will be able to complete the epic and satisfy all loose ends unless there are sequels planned. There are too many missing characters and way too much focus on boring fights that make no sense.

Who on earth decided to put General Armstrong as the protagonist for 2 volumes?! Envy chooses suicide? That's one of the lamest cop outs for such a strong antagonist? What happened to the mature story telling? Why is the mangaka choosing lame Bleach/Naruto type fights to advance the plot instead of the amazing fluency the the previous arcs had? Why on earth is Ed's and Al's father Jesus?! Give me a break! A slave meeting some mystical, evil god like presence seeking salvation by having the power of 500,000 souls injected into him?! BS!

A surprise conclusion will be welcome.

The manga went from a 10/10 to a 9/10 to a low 8/10 because of the last arc. I am quite disappointed by the mangaka's choice to make FMA seem like some Dragon Ball knock off.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood director Yasuhiro Irie has confirmed on his Twitter account on Thursday that original manga creator Hiromu Arakawa has planned out the final manga installment, and that his staff is writing and storyboarding the material for the anime based on that ending. He added that he was shocked by the enormity of the final chapter and noted that there are only two months left.

There are other groups (a person anyways) subbing Bleach. I would post links but I don't know if that's okay or not. He's not as quick as DB, because as I said I think it's only one person doing it, but I think the quality is up to par. PM me if you're interested in checking it out.

And wow it's been a long time since I posted in this thread.

crunchyroll is stealing bleach?! wtf...

the only anime they have that I actually watch is bleach, and I only watch that for a time killing, turn off your brain, anime.

If they offered better anime titles I would consider subscribing, but im not going to pay $5 a month to just watch bleach on time.

IIRC cruchyroll started out by stealing fansubs.

Do you still enjoy watching anime? It seems that when weight out, there's more negative then positive points coming from you about anime.

Now I don't mean this to call you out on anything. I'm just merely interested for the answer to this question :)
