) Anyway, I'll eagerly keep an eye open for the movie! But I guess there won't be a funsub of it if Funimation owns it, yes?
ANBU/AKeep fansubbed everything up to episode 31, which is when Funimation announced the licence. The people who were working on that project regrouped under Spoon, which is to say 'they didn't stop fansubbing it but just did it under a different name to keep ANBU/AKeep from being sued into oblivion'. However, they were taking too long, so another group (Sonchou-SHS) did speedsubs for the last... 15 or so eps of the series.Yukina_Raven wrote:I knew it was knew to the US, but I wasn't sure if it was so new to Japan.

Save <i>lots</i> of money and try to study the language beforehand. Best two pieces of advice I can give you.Yukina_Raven wrote:I'll get to Tokyo one day, just you wait.
Gotta say I agree 100%. The ending... Oi, that was a cruel ending indeed. Seriously, I was in tears and I'm still not sure why. ^^; Although for me, the ending was fulling for me. The entire anime was excatly the kind of thing you'd expect from SquareEnix, what with the gasp-enducing plot twists and soap opra type drama. (Fullmetal Alchemist was a game and then was turned in an anime, I think.)MAS PRODUCTIONS wrote:It's true that there is an FMA movie in the works. Been ages since I've seen the official site though. Pretty much nothing has been released except a picture of an older Ed. Basically all the info out so far is related to the site so it's kinda iffy at this point.
If the movie does come about, I'm definity planning on watching it. The tv series stopped at a odd place. It was a good ending in a way but at the same time left me feeling unfulfilled. The only plus was hearing Ed say Einstein was untrustworthy, which I found to be quite comical.
Source: FULL METAL ALCHEMISTDuring the Fullmetal Alchemist Festival: Tales of Another (more...), the trailer for the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist movie: Conqueror of Shambala was shown, followed by a short question and answer session with a couple of the production crew. This trailer hasn't been put up on the official movie site yet, but I suppose it will be soon.
The trailer:
Starts off in a factory-sort of place where a block of concrete / rock / metal is transmuted from a part of a pipe and dropped down below. It falls just before a mysterious figure who was doing something to what looked like Al's armor body from the anime series. Then we see the figure wearing a mask of some sort (somehow I am reminded of a cliche character type unique to the Gundam series at this point). Al (in his armor body form) turns and next is a short clip of Ed (with his automail right arm, wearing his usual red coat) running and shouting, "This is OUR world!". I don't remember the rest of the trailer at the moment.
Above is an extract of the Fullmetal Alchemist Festival: Tales of Another official pamphlet sold today. It mentions something about the movie based mostly on a man-made castle floating in the sea, and a new masked character (we still don't know if he's ally or enemy).
