    Not really. Every Sunday at 1am and 4 (or is it 5) am, they play a new episode of Brotherhood. There haven't been any reruns at all since Brotherhood started 14 weeks ago.

    For me, it's on at 12 and 4, so it's probably 1 and 5 for you.

    Episode 2 is now up for streaming on Funimation's Youtube channel. Looks like they might be uploading the whole series, just like with the subs, but it's too early to tell. Either way, I'm buying the DVD's :P

    I'd LOVE to get the DVDs now, but I'm going to hold out until they're in a giant pack. It might save me some seriously needed cash. lol

    Mmm. I probably would've done that if they were releasing them in individual DVD's, since it's such a long series, but since they are starting out with box sets already, I figure I should just go for it. Plus, Amazon.com has it for like $30 right now, which is a pretty good deal. But yes, you could definitely save money by waiting for the bigger packs.

    Am I the only one who thought Todd did a good job as Ling, but he just didn't seem to fit the role? I mean, I LOVE Todd, but I just couldn't get his other characters out of my mind as I was watching him. But I did really like Monica as May.

    I did :D I haven't heard him in any other roles, so that didn't affect me. Actually, that was almost exactly what I pictured Ling to sound like when I read that part of the manga. I imagined it a little bit more like Shigure from Fruits Basket, but that was pretty freaking close.

    I thought May was kind of unnaturally high-pitched, but I guess the Japanese version is too =_= Lan Fan and Fu were also very good.

    Maybe it was just a first-impression thing. I really want to be able to take him seriously. Ling is one of my favorites, so I don't want to be giggling every time I hear Todd say a line. (Some of his other roles are Hikaru Hitachiin in Ouran High School Host Club, Watanuki in XXXHolic, Flitt Morris in Black Cat, Ichimokuren in Hell Girl, and Itsuki in Shuffle.)

    Yeah, I don't think I like how high May's voice is in either version, but I think it's only like that to portray youth. Not quite sure if it really works though; sometimes it's just a distraction.

    Trina and Kenny were very good. I can't wait to see the stuff they do later on in the series.

    And I'm just dying to hear Aaron again!!

    Quite a fitting announcement for Father's Day. John Swasey will be voicing Hohenheim in this series. Though it's not the present I wanted, I suppose it's the thought that counts. Let's hope he can fill Scott McNeil's epicness shoes :)

    Oh yeah, and amazing performances by Colleen Clinkenbeard and Laura Bailey, and I can't help but notice that Maxey Whitehead is improving, in both acting quality and in sounding like a boy. Best episode thus far, and I'm feeling more hopeful now that this show can compare with or surpass the first one. Next week's episode marks the start of all new stuff for me, because I stopped reading FMA after Volume 10. I'm excited to see what happens next :P
