Not quite.
Episode 9 of Phantom, although the video link is there, it appears the file was removed from the server, so the page doesn't work. Rest of the episodes are still working though, however. In anycase, Fullmetal Alchemist removal is rather bothersome... |

...Ooooookay...
This is... Odd. Is Funimation under some kind of DDoS attack or... Just working out some legal crap or... I'm just gonna stop talking, cause this is really, IMHO, just an odd dilemna. |

Occam's Razor suggests that FMA's removal is part of FUNi's trying to sure up its site and servers post-leak.
If nothing changes in a week or so, then you can start to panic. |

Um... why? Has anyone given a reason?
Hopefully this news item will be updated soon... And hopefully it'll be back up to stream soon, too. Though I'm willing to wait a few weeks to support the Streaming Revolution (plus, Hulu's got better quality, if more commercials). |

According to this blog
http://www.srsfkn.biz/2009/05/30/funimations-servers-were-compromised-right/ It would appear that "leaks" by simple URL modification before official releases have been common recently from Funimation, particularly with Phantom appearing on site with modified URLs before the Japanese release for the past several weeks, so my guess is they are just taking them down while they fix this huge security flaw, now that it has hurt them severely with the whole One Piece incident. |

I can only hope so. To have them both go down is really depressing. D: I'm hoping that everything goes back to normal once they fix up the security. |

Ditto on that. This just bites, like seriously, wow  . I'd only just seen the whole One Piece thing and man.... I hope this doesn't hurt things in the future too. The fact that they might not stream FMA:B anymore kinda makes me feel like its a bigger deal than what I originally thought. Hopefully it won't be as big as I think it might be.....

It's sort of telling that the only people who realy suffer in this whole mess as far as FMA:B is concerned is people who can't access HULU.
I'm calling it now, the guy who ripped it was outside of the area that would of been allowed to watch One Piece legaly. |

There is nobody who is 'suffering' as a result of this. It's anime, not water or food. |

Well at least it gives the time to straighten up their security. Maybe this better now then later. Although if he blog is true this has been going on for months.

No, it's suffering. As a fandom, UK anime fans suffer because they have no meens of watching the show now as a result of the OP Killer meening that we can no longer watch FMA:B. Hell, I don't even CARE for FMA:B but I know shinanigins when I see it. You might not see it as much because you sit on your Ivory tower with full access to shows but oddly enough the word is just that little bit bigger than just America. The UK fans are suffering for the actions of the OP killer and that's that. |

And are they going to come to serious physical or mental harm by not getting an anime series? I highly doubt it. As to this we shall wait-and-see. Last edited by LordRedhand on Sun May 31, 2009 2:59 am; edited 1 time in total |

OP Killer? Jesus I didn't realize the person was a killer. His crimes are right up there with Jack the Ripper.
This is serious so give me a quarter, I was a witness get me a reporter |
