As long as they release a unedited, uncut Japanese with English Subtitles DVD, I'll be satisfied, but if not, let's organize a protest at their headquarters!!


They are. That's been confirmed. So now you can stop complaining, right?

Right?

That's good or else I would have started. Would it have been possible that Del ray could have gotten rights too?

Well that stinks. I enjoy watching FMA, it is a pretty good series.

But oh well, I am still gonna buy it. I just hope they give us a pretty package with the DVD + boxset that is somewhat close to what people in Japan normally get. Like picture books, t-shirts, and posters, you know the cool extras that they get in Japan.

From what I hear, they did a pretty good job with Tenchi GXP, so why the doubt? Tenchi Muyo has a large fanbase in America, and is still popular. FMA has a large fanbase, or at least a growing one that will be large by the time it is released, do you think that FUNi will give less attention to that notion? I don't think so. They already know it is popular, or at least getting towards popularity. And I am pretty sure that they realize that us fans want it uncut and so on. Just the same with Tenchi GXP. And they delivered that promise, of uncut, with Tenchi GXP.

Let's wait before we crit. them, ok?

I'm from NC aswell, I can't wait for them to show FMA either, but I disagree on the part about FUNimation screwing it up, they may have screwed up DB but this anime is way better, so they better not screw it up. Or we'll have alot of angry fans.

Well, if you think you can take on the fangirls who are *REALLY PLEASED* with Fruits Basket...and myself, who is *VERY MUCH ANTICIPATING* Spiral, in the words of our Wise and Fearless Leader, "bring it on" ^_^

Yeah like that would help the situation. Rolling Eyes

Oooh..let's maul them and get our asses arrested because they licensed a show that I enjoy! Cry for me! Plan therapy sessions! FMA is being licensed by..OMG! FUNimation.

Away from sarcasm, it is only Anime. Entertainment. Something to please the senses. It isn't something that you live on, like food and water. It isn't something that will nourish your body. So stop complaining, stuff happens.

True. Very True, actually I'd prefer FUNimation over any of the other crappy american screw ups.

True, they might be better than *shudders* 4Kids enterntainment, but ADV or Tokyopop (Now with Anime Flavor joining Manga flavor )would have been better.
