[Anime] New Fullmetal Alchemist anime series

The manga came first, and up to a certain point, the anime and manga are virtually identical. After that point, they diverge a great deal, and most of the "big" revelations/explanations for things are completely different. It'll be interesting to see where/how the anime picks things up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just watched the first episode myself. What's wrong with glossing over the beginning that most people have already seen? It's so popular in Japan surely most folks have at least a passing knowledge of the setup (how the boys lost their bodies and their objectives to get them back), so there's no point in belaboring things. Honestly, I don't care all that much for the stuff that happens before a certain death, and I certainly don't want to go through the whole Lior bit again. The first ep. gives some nice foreshadowing for those who already know what's coming, while at the same time delivering new material to keep things fresh. #2 looks to be a flashback to their childhood, so maybe they'll just skip Lior entirely (keep in mind I know nothing about plans for the series except watching the actual show, so if there are articles detailing plot plans, I haven't read them).

Also, the ED animation is the best ever. I wish there were shots without the credits so I could make an av/sig.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was wondering why Shinsen hadn't done ep. 4. Still, they insisted on releasing in mkv, which I can't convert over to my iPod, so I had to wait for some other group to hard-sub it. I've got ep. 4 from Eclipse in my queue to watch, but I've got to see ep. 3 first.

Yes, Maria Ross was in the first series, but she plays a larger role in the manga.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Pardon me for not keeping track of As The Fansubbers Turn.

And yeah, I googled tokyotosho the other day and found the message Tails posted. The .info works just fine.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
