Sweet, congratulations! That is one
awesome way to start a new year. =)
FMA is just a great story, with great action, great animation, great characters. Just great great great.
I've seen a lot of complaints about it on the net (usually followed by speeches on why
FMA: Brotherhood is da best), but you can't please everyone. I think you'll like it though, there's a reason it's
#2 on the AnimeNfo list.
I enjoyed
Noein a lot. It struck me as an overall good show, though I never fell in love with it like a lot of folks here. Heck,
even the pessimistic Psgels loved it to death. I suppose it's a hit-or-miss show, and although I appreciated it, guess I'm on the miss side.
But hey! Variety of tastes is what keeps humanity interesting...
Hunter x Hunter - If you enjoyed the first two volumes, you'll LOVE the last two. They are so so incredible. Especially the York Shin arc at the end.
BTW, so you're aware, there's actually 2 openings for Hunter x Hunter. Opening 2 was supposed to appear in Volume 4, but Viz never put it in their DVD Set for unexplained reasons. You can see the opening for yourself here though:
