In the first episode, Issac seems to be able to use his tattoo at almost the same speed. Only argument I can think of at the moment is that the tattoo only is one alchemy symbol, while Ed can do whatever the heck he feels like.
Yeah... Isaac actually wasn't in the original manga, so I guess he can make up his own rules :P.  The thing about flexibility is an interesting point though.

Yeah, the tattoed circles are limited to one type of transmutation only whereas the circle free alchemy can do whatever it pleases

Been meaning to see Tales from Earthsea for a while, and will be Livestreaming it tonight.

It's based after Ursula K. LeGuin's series by the same name, and was animated by Studio Ghibli. All in all, it's about 1:30 long, but it looked reasonably good. I generally like their stuff either way. Movie kicks off in 5 minutes or so, so if you care to, join us!

My favorite song is I THINK China's

Unfortunately I think she only sings it once ever.

Hmm, I think I liked Japan's and Russia's the best, out of the ones I've heard.  Japan has the clearest singing voice, in my opinion, and Russia has the most interesting cultural variation to the instrumental.

Finished up Tales from Earthsea. For not having been directed by Hayao Miazaki, it was actually pretty good. A simple story, and I get the feeling they skipped over huge parts of the series, but it was entertaining. It was a nice portrayal of a different sort of fantasy world, had several strong characters both male and female, some action, and a neat message. Violence was limited too, unless it was absolutely necessary too, which was rather nice. Going to have to add that series to the queue.

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

Any D Gray-Man fans in? I've started watching the series as a friend recommended it, it's ok at the moment just at episode 10 where they introduce Mirranda and it's held my interest so far but to tell the truth I'm really only here after watching the General Cross fight ove my friends shoulder XD

I don't know, the main reason I haven't checked it out is because it looks so similar to Fullmetal Alchemist.

I've watched FMA, Alan and Edward look similar but so far it seem a lot different. No Homuculi at the moment anyways.

I read maybe the first 5 books and decided I just didn't like it enough.  It didn't really feel like it had enough spirit for my tastes.

(Of course, I felt exactly the same way about FMA, so your opinions may differ).

Just out of interest, what do you mean by "spirit"?
