new anime

Pandora Hearts = Promising. Very promising. I do like. Will have to check out the manga sometime.

FMA Brotherhood = Interesting. I too was a very rabid FMA fan back in the day when it first came out. So of course I watched the episode as soon as it came online. But I have mixed feelings. I'm a bit confused about this version. As I thought it'd be more following the manga as that would make sense but it doesn't really seem to be doing that. But then again I haven't read any of the manga in years so I'm a bit rusty on it and also at least 40 chapters behind in it. But I don't remember any Ice Alchemist so it seems like this plot is just brand new. And I guess that's cool but I don't see why they felt the need for it. I also don't know if I can get used to Shinichiro Miki as Roy. I love Miki but Toru Ohkawa just IS Roy to me. And I'm sure they just couldn't get him back for the new series which is the only reason for the change. But it's weird.

Granted despite that, I am happy to see FMA back (I loved the suitcase full of gloves bit btw XP) as I truly do love that series despite the fact the fandom almost killed it for me. I still have my Roy costume and actually this reminded me how I still have barely any photos of it so maybe I'll go try get someone to take more for me before I attempt to sell it or whatever. I only ever wore it once but the desire to wear it again died pretty fast due to the FMA fandom pissing me off.

Oh and btw I actually watched Pandora Hearts yesterday and FMA on Sunday but forgot to make a post about them. ^^;

There's a fair amount of crossover into the Manga, I think they're attempting to introduce the series in a way where if you've read the manga you won't completely know whats going to happen.

I mean they have #23 in the opening, and they show both Papa Hoho's in the opening/1st episode so its likely stuff is just being added. What has me concerned is the lack of Xing characters, as in mostly May and Ling. Well specifically Ling cause he's fuck win awesome. Hopefully they're not attempting to power through the series, there's so much goodness from the entire thing they could probably stretch it a bit.

Yeah I did notice only 13 episodes listed on AnimeNewsNetwork though sometimes that just means that's the only ones they have knowledge of so far, doesn't necessarily mean that will be the only ones.

Hm, I do hope for Ling as I liked him. Barely remember him as it was around when he was first showing up that I stopped reading. Really really need to get back to it. It was just something I kinda forgot about and never got back to.
