Edit: One FFXI screenshot! I have so many to process, but I love this one! Heehee. Thistle! Aie! Watch out behind you! (Full sized)

How (and why) did I wait all day to watch the two eps? Arg! I'm insane! (Spoilers behind the cut.)

The new opening and closing songs were okay: I liked the video showed during both, but for both the music did nothing at all for me.

Fork fansubs are total ass, but better than nothing. Horrible video quality (kept crashing most of my viewers, could only watch them in one), and in #43 the sound and the video weren't synched up. Sheesh.




Whine! I still have a little hope that Kimbley may be alive, but mostly I suppose he's really dead and gone. He was so arrogant! Insane! I can hardly imagine how fun it would be to RP the character! He's great!

The more I see of Winry, the more I hate her. Hate her, hate her, hate her. She ruins the mood of every scene that she's in. Blech. (I love the book girl though!)

Mustang... *mrowl* There's a shot of him at about 20:47 in #43 where he's more angry than I've ever seen him before. It's almost as if it was the first time he was ever really was angry. Oh my god, I nearly melted! But in a way it was a little scary, too. It was like seeing a totally different side of him. (I can't make screenshots because of the player.)

Scar... Scar. Scar. I like the character, but I seriously question how well one would function after having an arm ripped off. After having both arms ripped off. After having both arms ripped off and shot twice. I don't care how strong of a character you have, I don't believe you'll be doing anything but rolling around on the ground and screaming in pain after losing both arms. Hell, blood loss alone! (Or am I missing something here?) I did like the part about his name though.

In a number of the shots, it looks as if Ed is getting older. Wonder if it's something like different artists, or if he really is changing?

I feel like I'm commenting on just surface stuff here; I feel as though I haven't fully absorbed these two eps yet. If I had the time, it would be an outstanding experience to re-watch the whole series from the beginning. I bet there's tons of stuff we miss by watching it once a week.




I'm told a subbed #44 is out, but I could only find raw. Eeek!

I double checked. No problems with that. I'm using Windows Media Player 8 and I have so many codecs installed I dunno which I have.

I did make a point of getting FFdShow 2004 a while back, along with the latest DivX and 1 or 2 XviD codecs, and an ACsomethingorother for sound.

Maybe I'm not using the latest version of WMP... (Can't check, not at home.) I'm very wary of installing new codecs though, since mostly everything works now.

Oh well, I'll figure something out! :)

I'm not. The current version is 9. 8 is what comes with Windows XP. :)

If you're going to be downloading and watching stuff, keeping up to date on your codecs is pretty essential. Compression technology continues to advance, after all. And so long as you get them from reputable sources, and are an intelligent user as regards your downloading habits, there's really nothing to worry about.

Bah! But that'd be, like, work!

Sheesh...
