I'm enjoying Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

The new Fullmetal Alchemist anime series is currently coming out in Japan. Usually at this point, there would be only one way to watch the show: wait until a somebody puts it online with English subtitles and download it illegally. But not so with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (and some other series). Thanks to FUNimation, we can watch the show streaming from their site whenever we want to as the episodes come out on Japanese television.
I just caught up with the seven episodes available so far and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Aside from catching some episodes out of order on TV, I didn't watch the original. But now that I'm watching this one, I like it a lot. It's a surprisingly mature show considering how much silly antics and immaturity the show also contains.
And not to brag, but I love my viewing experience. I have my old Mac Mini hooked up to my main TV and though it usually collects dust, it's serving quite well as a video streaming machine. The newest Flash player (10 I believe) added full screen video. So to watch anything on FUNimation, Hulu, or other video streaming sites with full screen options, I simply load up the video to watch on a web browser and click to full screen it. Voila. I'm now watching streaming video on my TV. The quality is never as good as a DVD and usually not as good as cable, but it's still not bad, especially for watching things like unreleased anime that simply isn't available otherwise.
