FMA summary

[oyceter]

So I ended up Netflixing FMA to watch it rather casually; I was watching it before, maybe about a year ago, but I stopped after episode 26 and just never quite got back to it for some reason. I decided to just pick it up again, largely because most anime conversations I have tend to say something about it, at which point I must admit that I've only seen half of it and then stopped (this happens to me a lot in conversation re: quite a few things).

I got up to around episode 23 while casually watching, then rachelmanija showed up. And since I only had one more episode on the disc, we watched that together.

That was on Friday. I'm now up to episode 42, after obsessively mainlining the thing, and ohmygod I am so hooked. The rest of tomorrow is probably going to be episodes 42-51, after which I will even more obsessively scour the internet for fic and episode writeups and etc.

Anyway, please no spoilers in the comments. There will be some sort of summary post later after my mental abilities return, but for those of you who haven't watched it, it has meticulous plotting, great characters, and really daring writing. I keep thinking that it won't go certain places, or that I can't see how they will resolve something, given that one resolution is pretty much set in stone but too out there to actually narrate, and then they'll actually go there.

Gaaaaaaaaaaah.
