FMA:B 1-30: So I'm watching this while reading the manga, 5 volumes at a time at this point. Episode 30 = Volume 15, so I'm just going to post this while I'm at somewhere near the halfway point for both.
It's really good. I found myself looking at different windows while just listening to it some of the time (and I don't understand Japanese), but that was more to me already knowing what was going to the manga than anything else (and especially so for episode 27, since it was mostly recap and I only listened to that). Now that I've gotten to new material (I watched to ep 24 before, then stopped for a long time and just now started it this way), I've done it less often.
Very interested in what's up ahead. My goal is finishing on/by the 5th, but I don't know if I'll make it. Just want to be done around the final episode, which I really screwed up by starting it only a few days ago and then not making much progress the past few days... At this rate, the 6th or 7th is more likely.
I need to give this a proper rewatch when I end up with the DVDs. Especially episode 27, since I only really saw the opening and the ending. Sure seemed "CONGRATULATIONS" at the end there...
