Judging by the trailer on the site, I get the impression that they're planning to have this air on Adult Swim, so it will likely get few, if any edits, no matter which version you're watching. So if there ever was a substantial argument against this, you can pretty much throw it out the window. This show will get a stellar treatment. I think the only real concern we have is how many episodes they'll put on the DVDs. Regardless of the price, I'd be dissapointed with any less than four per disc. |

I don't care what anyone says. Funimation isn't Geneon, Bandai... and to a lesser extent ADV. In my book it probably won't be on their level for a couple of years until they can wipe their past away. It's like the Blink182 of the Anime licensing world. With rock fans, mainstream is a big deal. Funimation is a little too mainstream with its titles. And yes it is still maybe a little good that FMA finally got licensed, at least its not Tokyopop making "cinemanga Lizzie McGuire Disney" crap as a side venture...

And you're like the Velvet Underground fan of the music world, where you think it's so awesome to be "indie" and "non-mainstream," not realizing that you're conforming to a whole new group of people in the process. FUNi licensed Kodocha. That's as far away from the mainstream you can get. That was a license that no one was willing to touch with a telescoping pole. |

Wow, it's only been roughly 24 hours since I last logged on to the forums, and this thread has grown from 4 pages to 7 in a matter of not even a day.
By seeing this, I am going to make guess and say either a lot of people really like FMA, or really dislike FUNimation. In any case though, I haven't seen any of the show at all, but I'm confident that FUNi will release it uncut on DVD and that I'll probably prefer it in Japanese anyway, so I guess it's no big deal, really. But for those of you who feel the need to argue, please keep doing so, but keep it clean. Yup, clean and simple, "Simple and Clean." |

yoh, name me some of the real innovators of sound in rock and roll.
Was Tom Scholz in there? Probably not. The idea of amp-less electric guitar is probably foreign to you. How about Robbie Steinhardt? You don't even know Robbie Steinhardt, right? And naturally you don't even recall former Santana guitarist Neil Schon, jamming along with maestro Carlos Santana at 14 years of age before forming his own jam session band. And guess what, you've got three mainstream hit successes with those guys. In order; Tom Scholz of Boston, Robbie Steinhardt of Kansas, and Neil Schon of Journey. Yeah, mainstream automatically equals soulless and lacking in substance or skill. Excellent job of failing to prove your point with an analogy. Speaking as someone who's sat in on studio sessions with greats like Phil Keaggy, I'm fair and willing to shoot down your Cheap Trick/Clash wannabees with real musicians. Besides, we all know metal attained its peak with Iron Butterfly's magnum opus In the Garden of Eden. |

There's one, bug outlying logical flaw with the petition. It says how funimation will ruin it but.... that's..about it?
No where does it say "we intend to make them fork over the license or redo the dub or balh blah blah". All it is, is an over-glorified sook. So just please, don't bother, alright? |

Just saw the dub trailers, and I liked them. Al's voice sounds a little awkward, and it was either his voice I don't like, or that he sounded a bit, well, awkward in his speaking, but I'll get used to it. It's not bad.
The other trailer really made it seem dark.  Something that dark can't be put at a kiddie slot here... I hope. *can see the mothers already telling their kids they're forbidden to watch it after seeing that trailer*

Quote: Since when has something being licensed ever stopped fansubbers?
Answer: It stopped the fansubbing of Heat J Guy. No one on the main top sites including Baka-updates, Mircx, or DALnet continued the subbing after it was licensed. The quick distribution and the low cost at places like Wal-Mart killed the demand for the sub version seening that a very inexpensive and excellent dub was easy found. |

Animejunkies finished subbing Heat Guy J. Wasn't readily available across the 'net but you could get the episodes subbed by them in a few places and on usenet. Try again. |

Even if fansubbers were to stop, it wouldn't stop most fans from downloading the raws.

I just checked their site. No Heat Guy J. Lots of other licensed titles but no Heat Guy J. I also checked the usenet message board and all I could find were HK bootlegs. I thought AnimeJunkies only subbed episodes 1-13 and then stopped. You're if you are right that it wasn't really available doesn't it moot your point that people alway sub. Who cares if there are subs but practically no leeches? Quote: Even if fansubbers were to stop, it wouldn't stop most fans from downloading the raws. Asking people to stop posting raws is like asking people to stop using video tape or tivo...it isn't going to happen. Do you really think that as many people watch the raws as the fansubs? I really don't have the time to whip out my Japanese-English dictionary and Japanese grammer books and start translating every line. I'll watched it subbed or dubbed but not raw. I'm sorry but not all Anime fans know or even want to know Japanese (ammend that: want to spend the monsterous amount of time it takes to learn Japanese...not all of us are good with learning laugauges). I don't think I'm abnormal in this regard. |

If that KAA site is the new Animejunkies site, they don't have wolf's rain listed, and they did all of that.
Probably not as many people watch the raws as fansub, but I know I do, as well as many of my friends, when the fansubs are not avalible. I doubt we're the only ones. We even download live action Japanese shows when we can't find the fansub. Even if you can't understand the language, you get the general idea of what's going on in the show. |

That part i am compelled to agree with.
Ouch! untrue and unfair comparison. but an amussing metaphor nonetheless. 
Nuff said about that,ignorant berating will be dismissed anyway. |

I don't look at the forums much because of the bickering that goes on in certain threads. As such this is probably a few days late. Looking back on what was said, I have to agree with you. That's all. |
