Funimation Gets Fullmetal Alchemist Premium Colection

Funimation is now producing the hagaren OVA in English! Its a great news! :) I had watched the OVA in japanese but it is totally different to watch it in English! This is the report that appeared on ANN:

Distributor hopes to make "FMA related announcement" later this month.

The Fanboy Review website reports that Funimation has acquired the Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium Collection set of animated shorts, and was dubbing them with the original English cast before the new year began. The Premium Collection includes the "Seven Homunculi VS State Alchemists" short that was screened at the Universal Studios Japan amusement park's Fullmetal Alchemist Premium Tour to promote the 2005 Fullmetal Alchemist film. In this "what-if" story, the two sides of the conflict face off in one giant battle. The Premium Collection also includes three DVD shorts that shipped after the movie ended: "Live Action," "Chibi Party," and "Kids." These shorts were the last animated footage created for Fullmetal Alchemist — until this coming April's new Fullmetal Alchemist television adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's original manga. A Funimation spokesperson told ANN that the company is "hoping to make an FMA related announcement at Ohayocon later this month." The Ohayocon event takes place in Columbus, Ohio from January 30 to February 1.

Hagaren remake!

Ges what did i just find on ANN! A fma remake is being made! :) http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-01-11/new-fullmetal-alchemist-anime-staff-confirmed is the link. its gonna be directed by Yasuhiro Irie. I m so excited about it. i mean the anime tv series had a pretty disappointing end and in the movie's end, the bros, come together, but separate from all their other companions and their original world.

But from what i read, i understand that they r primarily going to stick to d manga storyline this time, probably from where they diverged from. i read d comments and someone stated that it was money that they were remaking the whole thing, even after its grand success among the audiences. and if u ask for my personal opinion, the remake will spoil the whole consistency in the story. Tho i m dying to watch the remark, it might just be best for the anime version to remain unchanged.

Animax-LaMB for or against lamination

Hi all! Mysticalchemist again!

I was going thru d site http://www.cab-cerra.com/ . (Animax's site bout CABC from LaMB). This is wht it had 2 say bout lamination:

• it saves billions' of taxpayers' dollars that would otherwise be used for building and marinating prisons and law enforcement resources.


• lamination suits allows sentences of up to 500 yrs which deters crime and helps to maintain a low crime rate.


• reduces illegal slavery, domestic abuse and child labour because the public can now legally engage the services of these laminated criminals.


• lamination is environment-friendly as it reduces the release of free radicals.


• there is no need for rehabilitation and aftercare programmes to facilitate the reintegration of a criminal back to the community and its family after his/her sentence.

i agree that these definitely serve as strong pts for d enforcement of lamination, but as i said that it is against the env.'s laws of birth & death. then there is d tax money invested in laminating criminals. and d rehab thing, i guess anyone including criminals will be highly disturbed by being a lamb. i mean, think bout it. no expression, freewill, senses and all. in a prison, at least d prisoner gets to eat food an do wht he wants inside it.

Alright d domestic abuse and child labour thing is pretty cool. imagine d no. of people u save from inhuman work conditions, BUT ISN'T LAMINATION GOT TO BE INHUMAN. and then again, where will those people go who work for a living even in those inhuman conditions!

d whole idea is brilliant in itself if it can do all tat stated above. but if i were working in CABC, lamination wud hv been baned by now.

And i ges tats wht they r going 2 do at the end of d movie. So no mater how good this punishment is, i hv more pts against it than for it.
