Full Metal Alchemist

[Zeugma 440]

For those who don't know, this is the story of Edward & Alphonse Elric, two alchemist brothers who seek the philosopher's stone (well, at the beginning, but I don't want to spoil anyone on the first post of this thread :p ).

In my opinion, the plot and characters are fascinating. I like the way the atmosphere changes, between neutral mood, horror, action and fascination.

Does anyone here know this series ?

[DarkSoul]

I know and love the series.
I can't watch them now because I don't have a internet connection of my own!
I wanna download them and watch but like I said... I am hoping to get the net back soon and I'll download the 14+ episodes I have missed so far.
Is all that alchemy stuff going crazy past episode 30? Don't tell me what's happening.. I just wanna know if it's getting crazy with the alchemy powers.

[Kaze Nigai]

Define getting crazy? The series itself is crazy. Good! but crazy.

[Zeugma 440]

DarkSoul> You're on Episode 30 ? The last one I saw was episode 42.
Well, things have changed, but the interesting part is what's going on after episode 37. Alchemy powers do not go crazy but hidden parts of the plot, hidden past of several characters are revealed step by step... I won't tell you anything too precise, but WOW !

[Kaze Nigai]

Has anyone seen the newest ending? Break dancing Envy is quite funny.

[DarkSoul]

Thanks for the info, I was hoping that it wouldn't get stupit. It's good to learn about the other characters some more. I would like to know more about Scar because he got his brothers arm on there some how.

[Zeugma 440]

IMO, Scar is one of the most interesting characters. He's on screen very early but as a complete stranger... his intentions seem to be hostile and chaotic, his will as strong as the past of Ishbal is dreadful...
You'll know much more about him and his true intentions, don't worry ;)

BTW, I'm eager to get my hands on the 2nd OST when it's released... there seem to be great new themes in the last episodes !

:) Would you consider the first OST to be worth snagging, out of curiosity? :spin:

[Kilu]

:finger: Let's get back on topic, people !

Zedie> From my point of view, having discovered the music while watching the series, each track has a strong emotional value.

Now that I listen to it with a reviewers' ear, I think that its quality is good enough to be appreciated by someone who doesn't know about the series, especially if this someone likes RPG-style music :D
What's more, if you know the game OST, I can tell you that the anime OST is way better, and more heterogeneous.

[Kaze Nigai]

The Game OST is awfull in comparison to the Soundtrack for the Anime.

Zeugma> I have the single for the new Kung-Fu Generation opening if you want it.

-Edit-

Zedie> Indeed.

[Zeugma 440]

It seems they have a movie project for next year : http://www.shochiku.co.jp/hagaren/top.html

I hope it won't be one of those good-animation-and-lame-story movies *sighs*

[Kaze Nigai]

¬_¬; I'm kinda dissapointed that it's not slated for untill next year. The series is really close to it's end already, then they want to wait an entire year for the movie?! I'll already forgotten why the hell the whole thing began in the first place!

[eViL bAz]

Well I want to re-open this thread cuz Thanks to Zeugma, I get addicted to this amazing Anime and I think all the guest and Members should see it (those who havent see them already :D) well if someone of here are new seeing them come to talk of it what do you think ? hehehehehe a token of my addiction I change the eternal YUBER to one of the main enemies....

[Zeugma 440]

Hehe, should we call you hUnGrY bAz now ? :D

tabete ii ? :lick:

Err, more seriously, one year later I still think that this anime rocks. Just give a try to the first episode, if you have any doubt, it will hook you to the screen ;)

[eViL bAz]

more or less Zeugma hehehehehehe, and you know im hungry, Can I eat you? :evilgrin: hehehehehehe I say the same as Zeugma if someone are interested in this anime just pm and I can give you the adress from where you can find this anime :D

[Razgriz]

I hate the ending to the FMA. But other than that it was a very good show. Though I watched it in japanese >.>

[eViL bAz]

I in some way I get disaponted in the ending a 0.00000005% :P, and I see the series in Japanese (With subtitles in english) and like you say it is a really enjoyable anime series. all the plots and the funny scenes with all the secondary charcters hehehehehe

Im really getting into the series watching it on cartoon networks adult swim. I was so pissed when maes was killed last week.

[Zeugma 440]

Hey Jet, that was a major spoiler !! Please add http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/spoiler.gifon your message :wonder:

[eViL bAz]

REALLLY MAEEESS IS KILLLEEEDDD!!!!! NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!!!!!! WHY DID YOU TELL ME JET!!!!!

Kidding I already see it all :D and Zeugma dont worry I dont think a lot of ppl see this thread :D anyway I really love EP 25 ;)

[Blade Tanaka]

Umm... Here's what I know about Full Metal Alchamist. The Manga is amazing. The game by square wasn't very good (OR so I've heard) And I've never seen the show, plus they're making another game hopefully really cool.

[jetblue]

Man Adult swim is taking forever to show new episodes. They need to hurry up and translate! Im tired of seeing re-runshttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wall.gif

[Blade Tanaka]

At least you get to wach the show. I still have to wait a few months before volume 2 comes out in English.

[Sakinah]

what will the movie be about? i hope they dont want to try to fit 51 ep. in one movie.

[Zeugma 440]

Nope, the movie will be some kind of sequel :) The 51 episodes have already been summed up in the special episode that has been released one month ago...

[eViL bAz]

I think the Movie will it be like the DBZ OVAS that dont are a direct secuel but more like a diferent History out of the timeline of the story ^^

[Blade Tanaka]

Just so all y'all know I've bought the first two vomlumes of it...

[DonQuixote]

Has anyone played the game out of curiosity?

[Locke]

I haven't played the game, but I definently am glad that I borrowed volume one and two from Blade. Wow do I ever love FMA after the first episode :love: . Can't wait till the full thing come's out.

[eViL bAz]

if you were really caught for the 1st episode you will be crazy with the half ones and the final ones but overall with all of'em lol

[Lance Alvein]

All I can say is "wow"
I started watching them earlier today, and I have to say, I'm amazed http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/eyepopping.gif

[Locke]

The first episode had me caught for sure, but I'm still going to need to wait for more of it to come out on DVD before I can watch it again.

[Lance Alvein]

i think that the next two volumes are out now, just haven't been able to find them yet :p

[DonQuixote]

So its safe to assume AS isnt going beyond ep 30 for a while? Guess I'll d/l the rest then.

[Locke]

The local anime store is planning on stocking the third one soon, but they don't have it yet. I made sure to check while I was in renting X.

[kai]

What's even more annoying about our video places, THEY DON'T HAVE RUROUNI KENSHIN!!! How very frustrating. :realmad:

[Blade Tanaka]

Just ask for it at Indigo. They sell Anime at chapters wifch is linked to indigo so they should be able to get it for you. Plus Monthly Shonen jump is publishing it in GNs now.

[DonQuixote]

Well to answer my own questoin AS is airing new eps starting september i believe.

[eViL bAz]

Hey Don, do are you dl them?, if you are having problems to dl just PM i have something for it ;)

[DonQuixote]

no I started to d/l but got lazy. Thanx though

[eViL bAz]

[Locke]

I'll let you know once I'm moved into my new place and we have the net hooked up :thumbup:. I gaurantee I'll be wanting all of it :D

[eViL bAz]
