The eSports community I'm in raved about Devilman Crybaby to no end. Yes, the soundtrack was refreshing, the delivery was explicit, and did a stellar job creating nuance in otherwise simplistic characters. But the ending threw me for a spin that didn't flow as well as I expected the plot to given the setup. Maybe it was a function of such a short series, maybe the magic was lost in the adaptation, or maybe I have to let the story settle in my mind before re-watching.

Speaking of re-watching, Netflix released all 5 parts of FMA:B alongside a live-action. Boy, that was a series worth taking for another spin. I finally realized [SPOILERS] Scar actively received his brother's tattoos for creation during his time with Marco leading up to the fight with Wrath. [/SPOILERS] Watching again helped me understand what the hell the gate of truth was and it's relationships to alchemists/humans. Also, the voice dub is phenomenal.

On and off watching Planet Earth II thanks to Pabs' thread. There are some goddamn amazing shots taken (at least for a pleb like me), it's complimented well with TierZoo.
