Are you still reading FMA?

Yes and no. I get the eps monthly but reading monthly eps is too scattered. I always have to go back and review what happened month before. So I save them up until I have 4 or 5 and read them all together.

Thing is, *if* a long series turns out to be worth it, it's one of the happiest reading experiences there is. Manga, no matter what manga, is different enough from Over Here that a long read constitutes a month in the country, as it were. Hi Izuru, Karin, Basara, Kou Josei even. It's when you get to 'almost worth it but not quite'- Kaori Yuki in all her avatars- that I feel used.

Sponge-worthy varies from person to person but I'd have to wonder at the values of someone who found CLAMP, the town whore, to be worth it. Now, at any rate. Ten years ago we were all younger and giddier; though I couldn't take them seriously ten years ago either.
