For the amine, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the reboot of the series and seems to be closer to the original writing (or so it has be stated). You can find the last three aired episodes here (http://fmaportal.com/). They are all subtitled. The whole series can be found on Hulu.com. Well worth the watch - great story - great animation. I probably wouldn't let little ones what 'cus of the fight scenes.

I'm half way through "The Sonambulist" by Johnathan Barnes.



'Be warned. This book has no literary merit whatsoever. It is a lurid piece of nonsense, convoluted, implausible, peopled by unconvincing characters, written in drearily pedestrian prose, frequently ridiculous and wilfully bizarre. Needless to say, I doubt you'll believe a word of it.' So starts the extraordinary tale of Edward Moon, detective, his silent sidekick the Sonambulist and devilish plot to recreate the apocalyptic prophecies of William Blake and bring the British Empire crashing down. With a gallery of vividly grotesque characters, a richly evoked setting and a playful highly literate style this is an amazingly readable literary fantasy and a brilliant debut.

In the last little while, I've seen Last Exile , a series, and Steamboy, a feature film. Loved Last Exile - the characters were a lot of fun, but wasn't a big fan of Steamboy. Just didn't captivate my interest.

Book wise, I've read Leviathan by Scott Westerfield and am currently reading Boneshaker by Cherie Priest. Leviathan was very fun; richly detailed and likeable characters even though it seemed aimed at young readers, and am enjoying Boneshaker so far. Well written.
