I don't believe the poster was calling FMA "gay" but was expressing their disappointment that Adult Swim was taking a break after 20 or so episodes. |

haha can you tell that the kids are out of school yet?
On topic -- the comedy in the manga did not translate well to anime. Also, the first episodes of the original series were interesting and drew fans in, while the first episodes to brotherhood were god awful and conveyed that it was some mediocre monster / superhero show. |

Using the word "gay" to mean "bad" or "lame" is insulting, and I think vashfanatic has every right to be offended. It's just as bad as saying you've been "jewed" or "gypped" when you mean "ripped off." The fact that you have gay friends that are okay with it is completely irrelevant; that's like thinking since rappers use the N-word, it's okay for any white person to call a black person that. Try it some time, let me know how that goes... Back on topic, I think it's really cool that they could time the FMA anime and manga to end so close together like that. Here's hoping the end is satisfying.

Yes, yes I am serious. I know kids have been using it for ages; I hated it in high school, and I hate it now. If you said that something was "so Jewish" or what have you to mean that something was lame, I'd be pissed too. It's rude to an entire group of people to insinuate that they are synonymous with something being bad.
See jgreen's answer on the "n-word" rule. I'm not making up lies, and I am not "censoring" you; that would require me having the power to actually alter your comments, which I don't have. I am chastising you for being insensitive. I've known many gay people as well, and I've seen them cringe when someone uses the term this way, so don't try using the "gay friend" card. And back on topic... So is the most recent chapter in Japan the latest? I stopped reading them a few months back because the scanlations were just getting awful, translation gaffs and bad typesetting, I'd much rather wait at this point. |

I'm definitely going to miss Fullmetal Alchemist when it's all over, manga and Brotherhood. Hiromu Arakawa created a great world. But, I'll be collecting it all, so I can go over it again at my leisure. I'll probably rewatch the first TV series, as well, having that in my collection already.
Maybe Arakawa will write a new original story sometime later in the manga canon that can be turned into a movie. |

The "n-word" is an inherently offensive, hateful slur historically used to insult black people. The word "gay" is a descriptor which has never been considered offensive on its own. They are not the same thing. One is offensive in any context, the other is not. I'm not saying it's in good taste to use "gay" in that way, but acting like you have the right to tell people how to talk is just going to make them resent you. Homosexuals face enough discrimination without coming off as humorless killjoys on top of it. Words don't fall out of use because people stage internet campaigns against them, it happens naturally and slowly over time. If you try to force the process, all you're going to get is a backlash. Oh, and neither of you is an appointed spokesman for the gay community so let's stop with the "I know lots of gay people and they would agree with me" thing. On the subject of FMA, I'm really impressed that the anime and manga are going to be delivering the same ending at roughly the same time. Has that ever happened before? Considering how long it takes to produce an episode, Arakawa must have had the ending written out far in advance. She's a real pro.

Oh hell yeah, my only point in bringing it up is that it's a stupid argument. But I won't push the issue anymore here, it's just been a big peeve of mine for years. As for the ending being planned way in advance, well yeah. The latest chapters just have everything coming together awesomely, I hope the ending is as great as the rest of the series has been up until this point. *sigh* Why does it take Viz so long between volumes of this? I know, I know, translation is a long process, but six months between them at this point is torture! |

All I heard was Sengoku Basara 2 starts July 11 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuh!!!!
And there's nothing gay about FMA, actually there's some serious homo-bait in Sengoku Basara, even without fangirl doujin twisting. No hate, it still rocks. For clarification I know no one said either one was gay, but you all needed to know that, don't act like you didn't. Liars. |

Really excited to see the last few chapters animated. It seems like so much material to cover in 4 episodes, but I'm sure it will work out fine. From what I've heard, the last chapter should be pretty exciting.

I'm very Impressed with the animation. I wish so many shows had this quality of animation. Sadly very few shows have the popularity of FMA.

What? Why the heck would they do that?!? Somehow I doubt they would do that, since Vic Mignogna and Travis Willingham mentioned that they are dubbing well into the 30s. So I seriously doubt Brotherhood is going to take a break. I don't think they've bought the second half of the series yet (and it would go through 32 if it was the first half), but there's no reason to believe Brotherhood is going to take a break, especially after doing that with the original series killed its momentum and its ratings. In other news, looks like both the Americans AND the Japanese are gonna be seeing some fireworks on the 4th of July this year!
