If you're interested in FMA, I'd suggest going for Brotherhood, the newer series, over the old one.

Well, to be fair, they've always been up against extremely powerful individuals. I'm sure they would do great against 99.9% of people they could fight, but they just happen to get extremely unlucky with the people they choose to fight. Especially the ones that went to kidnap Onee-sama... That went well.

While I would be accustomed to the cold weather, I'm out of shape and have weak little girl hands. I'd be pretty screwed.

Just because it'll take more than a day doesn't make it impossible.

  @hitsusatsu11:  This is a very strange and decidedly anti-American view of the War in the Pacific, and you seem to be viewing WW2 Japan in a strange light. I would suggest looking up more information on the war in general and then reforming your opinion. While the effects of the bombs were devastating, the alternative was a drawn-out war of attrition on the Japanese mainland, which may well have cost more lives and devastated the Japanese countryside. The effects of the bombs on the civilian population were attrocious - nobody will argue against this. The alternatives, however, may have been far worse. You have to remember that the Americans were facing a war with a country whose people would brought up to believe that their Emperor was a god and whose soldiers were willing to go to any length to protect him. Who knows what they might have in the late days of a war fought on their own land? 
 
You should also keep in mind that Imperial Japan was a brutal, oppresive conqueror with its own history of brual massacres. I'm not what you might call a pro-American guy, but your opinion of the War in the Pacific reeks of misinformation and (in this case) baseless anti-Americanism. Please do yourself a favour and inform yourself on the realities of World War 2 and the atrocities of both sides before you make another post trying to paint Imperial Japan as a victim. You're just making yourself look silly.

" is it bad that I don't know the last one?  I mean no Voltron.... wtf? "

Yes, it's very bad. Very bad.

I can make rice and instant noodles. I'm not sure what more there is to life...

Oh god, John. That image is just... Oh god....

It's a nice, cute comedy that doesn't require much commitment time. Also a very realistic portrayal of Canada.

I found K-on Witches pretty disappointing overall. The different elements of the show - the actual plot and the moe fanservice - didn't really mesh very well and it ended up feeling pretty disjointed. It honestly feels like they had an idea for a show and someone said "Make it more like K-on." I enjoyed the small amount of actual content there was, and when it wasn't trying to get me moe for one of the characters, it managed to create a great atmosphere. There's a good show in there somewhere, but it got lost underneath all the moe.

" God as my witness, I'll never understand battle forums though. "

Nobody will. Ever.

I have. I usually use Roy Fokker's VF-1S because it shoots nukes, and I'm a huge macross fan. Mostly do co-op with my buddy to upgrade/unlock more mechs, though. Pretty great game for mecha fans.

If you're near Chernobyl, make sure to stop and feed the giant nuclear fish. Those bastards are huge.

Heroman: I'm interested in how this will turn out. Not particularly convinced it won't be bad, but still interested.
 
Working: Seemed like fun, and I can always use some delicious ponytail.
 
Arakawa: I still love you, SHAFTi. Even after Vampire Bund.
 
Senko no Night Raid: Looks like it'll be good. Do want. Please don't suck.
 
RAINBOW: Don't know what to make of it, but it seems interesting.
 
House of Five Leaves: Boobsmith wasn't exactly good, but I liked everything else Manglobe did. Pretty confident this show will turn out to be great.
 
Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei: Looks weiiiiiiiiiird. I'll probably really enjoy this one.

Seems like the word you were looking for is "weaboo" rather than "otaku".

@Rayleon: There's no real series starting dear Kyonko, but there IS a lot of doujinshi and fan art floating around.

" @John_Martone: That is... creepy. "

I don't like you. Don't talk about Kyonko like that.
 
@John_Martone: <3

Followed Gia on her old blog and was also in an IRC channel.

Probably Gurren Lagann, seeing as how spiral energy is effectively an infinite energy source with infinite applications that you can access simply by thinking REALLY HARD about it. When you can form a mecha larger than galaxies by willing it... That has to count for something.
