Continued from >>39008
Last chapter raws will probably show up tomorrow, but given its supposed size, I can't really guess if the scanlation will show up same day or not.
Remember all, no looking at the raws or spoilers. The gathering must not be missed.
Wow, the previous thread lasted less than 3 months even though the one before that lasted 8.>>44038Doubt it; the last one was shorter (but still longer than usual) and it still took like two days until scans came out.>>44039OK, where it is going to be again?

I realized I have an unavoidable thing to do on Friday and will hate myself FOREVER if it's released on that day.
>>44041Alright, add "Knigle" to that list.>>44043If I remember correctly either the onemanga scan came out late at night and the mangastream scan came out the next morning, or the onemanga scan came out in the morning and the mangastream scan in the evening.
>>44041 I'd like to get a on this.
Sign up for skype, add the names

And of course, regular /a/ is throwing a fit. It was "too perfect," apparently...
Goin to work now oh no!For those of you waiting til later tonight to do the reading, my Skype is RamenKingRoshi. When I get home I'll pop on and see where you're all at, and either catch up or wait for you to start depending on what's up.
FUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAHFUCK YEAH
Just finished1. FUCK. YES. 2. Ed that is a terrible proposal what the fuck are you doing?3. I'M NOT READY FOR IT TO BE OVER FFFF4. I want this.
So what did Hohenheim do? He's still alive, but (as far as I could tell) he doesn't make any appearance past when he visits his wife's grave.
>>44142The ending photographs imply he dies peacefully, as a human, having used all his Philosopher's Stones.
>>44143I thought I just missed something. That's about what I expected.I wonder how long it took, and what he did before dying.
>>44144I'm pretty sure that he either used them all up in the fight, or used them saving a few wounded soldiers or something.
>>44145I meant until he died of something.. wait would using up his Philosopher's Stones just turn him back into a regular human or would he die as soon as it ran out of power?
ADORABLIEST ENDING I WASN'T EXPECTING FOR AL
Ed and Winry are so very adorkable
All right, now that it's over, let's play "what we got right and what we got wrong." Here's mine.RIGHT!Hohenheim would attempt a self-sacrifice.Father would be defeated by being punted through the Gate.Al would get his body back (yes, there were actually people who argued against this).Ed and Al would remain in Amestris and not go to Germany or any place like that.Selim would be de-Pride'd but not killed.Kimblee was not done being important.Scar was still there for a reason.Ed would never break his no-killing rule.Roy would not be Fuehrer.Roy would be threatened with Riza's death to open the Gate.There would be an Evangelion homage.[Luthor]WRONG[/Luthor]Hohenheim would SUCCEED at said self-sacrifice.Hohenheim would defeat Father.At least one of the Chimeras would die.The Man in White outranked the Homunculi.Olivia would kill Bradley.Lust would come back via the stone the Homunculi stole from Marcoh's house (Gluttony said it smelled like her).Gluttony and Sloth would be spared for being relatively harmless.Pride was nobody we knew.
>>44152"Roy would not be Fuehrer.">>441304 stars on that uniform
>>44154Well, crap.Guess we know who Grumman picked.
I want to recommend FMA to a friend who is a casual anime viewer - should I tell him to watch the original series or Brotherhood?
>>44156BROTHERHOOD, ORIGINAL IS TERRIBAD.
>>44156He should either read the manga or watch the first anime before watching Brotherhood.Brotherhood was made for people who did one of those, and as a result the early parts can really come off as rushed if you hadn't seen them before.
>>44130OH, it's the good end version of this.
>>44158Yeah, but like I said he's pretty casual. So I'm not going to get him to read/watch 'the same thing' twice.
>>44160BROTHERHOOD
Edward's dorky proposal to Winry!BAWWWWWI'M SO HAPPYSO WHY AM I CRYING?!
>>44156First series
I'd say Brotherhood's tone would be better for casual viewing.
>>44164Reported>>44156Have him read the manga.
>>44166For what?
>>44167I do believe you gained the above anons ire by implying that half of a story with LOL NAZIS AND ANGST stapled onto it is preferable to the manga or Brotherhood.
>>44156Tell him to watch the first series until they return to their teacher. Then tell him to stop watching that and start watching Brotherhood. Because at the point where the first story deviates from the original (they get sent back to the island and start to realize homunculi are products of human transmutation) is where it starts to get kind of stupid. And then it just goes full retard with the alternate reality WW2 bullshit.
>>44169The guy might like LOL NAZIS AND ANGST, who knows. I know a lot of casual anime viewers liked it, and a lot of casual anime viewers who hated it as well.He'd be disappointed if he were led into the series anticipating LOL NAZIS for half of it, though--they don't show up until the movie.
>>44169That's a really dumb reason to report a post.
>>44171One should always direct people to the superior series. >>44170Lab 5 and some of the earlier events are very different in the first anime than in the manga. It's best to just go right to the source.
>>44173Yeah but they weren't by any means bad. I think the whole thing with Ed actually considering using the prisoners to make a stone was some interesting character development. Then again I thought the argument on whether or not Al was real wasn't done very well, nor was one of the Slicer brothers killing himself. Diff'rent strokes and all that.
Oh god guys this ending was so great I love it oh man T-TAnd yeah, I liked the first series. Brotherhood/the manga is so, SO much better, but I still enjoyed the first series.
I would still recommend Brotherhood. Even when the first anime was following the same plot, it was thematically opposite of the manga/brotherhood.Plus, the beginning of Brotherhood might be a bit rushed, but it still works for first time viewers. My little brother had no problem following it. And the beginning of the first anime has a metric ton of boring filler, so it's kind of a choose your poison scenario.
It was okay, but not as good as X-Men Misfits.
>>44179>And the beginning of the first anime has a metric ton of boring filler, so it's kind of a choose your poison scenario.With the exception of episodes 4, 10, and maybe 13, that's using a pretty loose definition of "filler".
It doesn't have filler so much as it has padding
>>44183>Episode Six: Ed and Al begin preparing for the Alchemy Exam while lodging with Shou Tucker, "The Sewing-Life Alchemist," who is well-known for creating intelligent chimeras, including one that could speak the human language (but died shortly after it was created). The brothers become fast friends with Tucker's daughter, Nina, and her dog, Alexander. The Elrics' cramming is only interrupted when Hughes and his wife, Gracia, throw a birthday party for Ed. During the party, Gracia goes into labor and they witness the birth of Elicia. Ed discovers at this time that he can perform Alchemy without a Transmutation Circle. After the written portion of the test, Mustang forces Al to drop out so Al's lack of a body due to the attempted Human-Transmutation is not revealed. Ed successfully passes the interview and passes the practical portion "with flying colors" when he saves the entire prospective State-Alchemist group with his quick thinking, courage, and ability to transmute without a Circle. Episode Eight:>Anguished by the horrible demise of Nina, and disgusted at his first assignment of organizing Tucker's research after learning of the man's death, Ed considers deserting to track down her killer. Al, however, finds reference to the philosopher's stone among Tucker's papers, and evinces an interest in it to Ed. Ed is incredulous that it exists and wants nothing to do with it. Left to his own devices, Al has spoken to the Fuhrer about the philosopher's stone, and the Fuhrer encouraged him to pursue it. Winry, who has arrived at Central to visit Ed and Al, is kidnapped by a butcher-turned-serial killer named Barry the Chopper, who disguises himself as a woman. Ed, falling for Barry's deception, gets kidnapped as he tries to free Winry and run awayEpisode Ten:>After exposing Father Cornello in Lior as a fraud (the events of Episode 2), Ed and Al are on their way back to report to Colonel Mustang about the incident. They stop at the town of Aquroya and get caught up in the manhunt for a talented cat burglar, Psiren, who uses her skills as an alchemist to make fools of the local police time and again. The Chief of Police hopes to fight fire with fire by using Ed to catch Psiren. Three times, Psiren tricks Ed and Al into thinking that she steals for the good of the people; saving certain buildings from being torn down. But each time, the building gets demolished anyway and Psiren gets away with it. Alphonse, still believing that Psiren is really a good person, tries to stop Ed from catching Psiren before she gets away with the loot. Finally in a last battle, Ed captures Psiren and hands her over to the police. Psiren still manages to escape and Ed realizes her importance as a draw for tourism in the sinking city of Aquroya. Episode 11:>On a tip from Psiren, Edward and Alphonse arrive in Xenotime to look for the Philosopher's Stone. They find a young girl trapped under a fallen mine cart and save her using alchemy. The girl introduces herself as Elisa and brings them to the tavern. During the feast in their honor, the brothers hear that a Philosopher's Stone is near completion. A man named Mugiar has been researching the stone, but when Ed and Al introduce themselves, they discover that impostors have assumed their names. They sneak into Mugiar's mansion to meet the impostors, but the older impostor is very skilled at alchemy and the real Elric brothers are forced to retreat. In the morning, Al goes to buy medicine for Elisa but is unable to do so because everybody in the town believes him to be an impostor. Fletcher, the younger fake Elric, meets Al and buys the medicine for him. At night, the real Elrics enter the mansion again. The older impostor uses red water to attack Ed, but Fletcher saves Ed and reveals the red water is toxic and has been poisoning the town. Episode 12:>Ed and Al depart from the mansion after Ed is saved by Fletcher. Mugiar, stunned at the damage dealt to the lab, asks the Tringham brothers to use an alternate method to speed up the creation of the red stone. When Russell refuses, Mugiar reveals that he knows the Tringhams are not the real Elrics and captures them. Back at the tavern, Ed and Al learn about Nash Tringham, Russell and Fletcher's father. The original discoverer of the red water, Nash soon left the city and was never seen again after the townspeople began to develop a disease following his research. The next day, the real Elric brothers are invited to research the red water by Mugiar. They agree, free the Tringhams, and corner Mugiar by asking about Nash. Mugiar responds by attacking the Elrics using the partial stone. With the help of the Tringhams, the Elrics overpower Mugiar, but he escapes to an underground lair. However, Mugiar collapses the underground passage, causing the red water to flood out of the spring. Fletcher, using his alchemy, makes the trees absorb the red water, neutralizing the threat. The Elrics say good-bye to the Tringhams, and board a train for East City. And that's not even bringing up the insanity of turning Lior into a two-parter.
>>44185Like I said, that's a ridiculously loose definition of "filler", especially considering how much of that did turn out to be important in the anime.
>>44186How so? And I don't mean how it was important for the anime, I know that much, but people are advocating the beginning of the first anime on the basis that it's basically the same as the manga/brotherhood, and then jumping rtracks in Dublith. Dublith might be where it really derailed into crazytown (for better or worse) but things were certainly NOT the same up to that point.
>>44187By your definition "filler" would mean "anything that was not in the manga". What I'm considering "filler" is stories which had no future impact on the plot.However, I do agree that watching the first half of the first anime then switching to part way through Brotherhood is a dumb idea. Not because of stuff that's irrelevant to the manga plot being added but because of some stuff that was relevant to the future plot of the manga but removed/changed because it wasn't going anywhere.For instance, they knew Xerxes wasn't going to be important so they removed the reference to it in the flashback to the Elric brother's childhood.
I literally had to take a nap after reading because it blew my mind so hard.Good god, this series has finally ended. I'm not sure how to feel about this other than I'm so happy everyone got their happy ending.
>>44195Similarly, I find myself randomly pausing as if expecting something important to happen and keep thinking of what it says here. >>44130
Heh, looks like Ed's going to adopt the new principle and add one on, amirite?Well, he DID judging by leetle babby in his arms on the end pages. Jesus, most clumsy silly adorable proposal/couple ever.
PS FUCK YEAH YOU OWN THAT REHAB, YOU OWN IT Havoc ;A;
>>44130I wonder just how long Arakawa's been waiting to perform THAT bookend. Glorious.
So Happy,Can't wait to see the animated version of it.
>>44173>One should always direct people to the superior series.>superior seriesOn what grounds? Art is subjective. Frankly, I love the manga and the first anime but find Brotherhood a little dull in comparison to both. This does not mean that it's bad, just that I don't care for it. Likewise, I can understand why people might dismiss the first anime because of "LOL NAZIS AND ANGST," but the idea of Ed and Al beating up Nazis after the movie just makes me smile.Save the "IT'S BETTER BECAUSE I SAY SO" bullshit for some other imageboard, ok?
>>44210>I love the manga and the first anime but find Brotherhood a little dull in comparison to both. He was talking about the manga.
>>44152>Ed and Al would remain in Amestris and not go to Germany or any place like that. Technically not true. They're both going to other countries to study what knowledge they have there (Al's going to Xing, Ed's going to whatever country is west), they're just not stuck there.
>>44137Arakawa's a Mom with a two year old son, she's said before that she wants her kid to read it one day so I guess that's why she chose to have everything go smoothly. You know, that or she's creating a story for fun instead of some sort of grimdark social commentary. ¯\(°_o)/¯>>44217Creta. Drachma to the north and Areugo (sp?) to the south too but they are alchemy-free barbarians I guess.
>>44156I would say have him watch Brotherhood first, if only because it's the "true canon." If he likes it enough, recommend the first series to him. In my opinion both series have their strong points. For example, I like the development all the homunculi got in Brotherhood, but I liked their origin stories better in the first series.
Wouldn't been better to watch before the last chapter, but:http://gangan.square-enix.co.jp/hagaren/special/20100611_movie/index.html
I went with Brotherhood; thanks, dudes. Tiki's caps were really persuasive.
>>44227I knew somebody knew the countries. Now do we have the page where they were talked about?Ah screw it, I don't have a reason not to read the series a second time.Other than needing to read through One Piece, Fairy Tail, JoJo, Black Jack, Phoenix, Kinnikuman, Pokemon Special.......Eh couldn't hurt.
this?A good map is shown, not sure where though.
>>44274That might be the one I'm thinking of, but I thought it came up again when they were at the Briggs base?
The Shape of the Country, where they talk about the civil wars and shit?
>>44274>Dorakuma>Drachma is clearly spelled right there.
So am I still to believe that the original series had some basis in saying they are in an alternate universe version of Europe or should I just toss that idea out window and assume their land structure is nothing like ours in the real world? (Well besides the whole brown and yellow people come from the East thing.)>>44130Is it me or does Roy look dubiously douche-tastic? Also wouldn't May be like 14 to Alphonse's twenty? He's got a good span of time over her is all I'm saying.
I thought she was like 12 or 13 in the series, and just tiny.
>>44310yeah, this. I mean, we know what Arakawa's 8-year olds look like, they're all head. Mei looks nothing like that. She's just really short, probably due to malnutrition.
>>44311>She's just really short, probably due to malnutrition.With that logic why is Al taller than Ed when his body looked like hell in the Gate? Given we've always known Al would be the taller of the two but still.
>>44313Because their souls are weirdly connected, so Al was growing for both of them.This is actually canon.
Chinese (analogue) girls are just small sometimes, this should surprise no one.
(is 4'11" and 19 years old)
>>44217 That''s NOTHING compared to them ending up in 'our world', why would you even compare them?
The Mangastream scan finally came out, in case you haven't the chapter or just want a higher quality scan:http://mangastream.com/read/fullmetal_alchemist/37981928/1
>>44309Arakawa stated Amestris was not even based on a specific European country. Even in the first anime, I'm not sure they were still supposed to have identical geography or anything; it was an alternate universe anyway.>>44327The basic idea was them being forced to leave Amestris for some reason (obviously not in the same way), which they did, but they're just doing research and can come back any time.
>>44246Is there is a version of this that doesn't skip? Or on youtube?
>>44313He's only taller in that photo. When Al first left the Gate and they went back to Resembool, Ed was clearly the taller one. At some point, Al overtook him.
>>44344Yeah they went through that magical period known as puberty.
>>44337Crying like a little bitch all over againUpon reevaluation of the photos in that pic, that's not 4 stars on Mustang's uniform in that photo, but 3 stars and a circle. The stripes are the same as the Fuhrer's though.
>>44338Here's world geography according to Brotherhood
>>44359Amestris is the State that serves as the principal setting of the anime and manga series Fullmetal Alchemist.Amestris is a unitary State, with a Parliamentary Republic type of Government. The Head of State is the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, titled as "Führer" (Daisoutou from the Japanese), who concentrates the ranks of President and Prime-Minister of the country. He also controls the Parliament.It seems as if the country is composed by several nations, quite diverse in culture and religion amongst themselves. The administrative regions of the country seem to reflect those differences. The country being divided in 5 provinces: South Area, West Area, North Area, East Area and Central Area.
>>44341The thing is craping out on me too. Anyone got another link or something?
So, does this mean that Ed can't use alchemy AT ALL, or just that he can't clap his hands and indulge in molecular shenannigans? Either way, it's cool; he's quickly becoming his world's Hank Pym, minus the slapping.
>>44388NOTHING AT ALLNOTHING AT ALLNOTHING AT ALLOh and there probably is some slapping along the line... she just slaps back. Harder. And, uh, more often.No wonder he's going to Creta.
Actually, considering Xingese alchemy doesn't use the gate at all, he might be able to perform another sort of alchemy when he and Al get some research done.
>>44390Does it not? It doesn't utilize human souls, but we don't know if it uses the gate or not.
>>44391All Alchemy is tied to the gate in some fashion. Amestrian Alchemy used the souls harvested by Father, who tied himself to the gate in various ways. Xingese Alchemy uses the power of the "world" directly, and the Truth states that he is, among other things, the "world."
Imagine this series if the Elrics had succeeded to revive their mother.
>>44395So, the first anime?
I really can't wait to see the ending to Brotherhood, considering it's the end of the manga and all.TEARS OF JOY EVERYWHERE ;_;
>>44395Despite having some of the memories and eventually the physical form of their mother, she was explicitly stated not to be her. Even then, she was still the same freakish form until she consumed a material who's synthesis kills small children.
>>44390Yeah I brought this up on Skype and someone argued me down from it.Still wish it could happen
Wait...Since Father powered Amestrian alchemy, and he's dead... did it stop working? Or did the power source shift elsewhere? And if so, to where?
Father didn't power it, he just set up a buffer. The power source is tectonic energy.
>>44409Amestrian alchemic technique used Father's power because he put a buffer of human souls between them and the power of the earth, which is what alchemy is supposed to use normally (and apparently works a lot better). That way, he could stop Amestrian alchemy by blocxking their access to his power, since his buffer layer was still in place.Scar's brother's transmutation circle removed the buffer layer, allowing Amestrian alchemists to access the earth's power once again. If anything, alchemy should work BETTER now, if Ed and Al's assessments during the fight are correct.
New favorite reaction image, ya'll.
So much shit going down in such a short time.Nearly forgot to download this week, still in shock.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSQFHYKdteo&feature=relatedHah! Somebody actually did it!
What's this I'm hearing of a 64th episode?
Oh Kimblee, you magnificent motherfucker.You couldn't resist being awesome just one more time could you?
At the current pace, I'd say Father's fucked by the end of 62, here's hoping for an extended epilogue.
"Hey miss, sorry about your husband being dead and also an artificial bastard affront to nature who never loved you or your son who is even more of an artificial bastard affront to nature and is now a fetus the size of a kiwi. Do you need a ride home?"
>>44549She's such a sweet old lady, too...
>>44549Wasn't Bradley actually fond of her?
>>44557Yeah, he was. She was the only part of his life Father didn't set up beforehand. Father gave him his job, gave him his son, gave him his country, but he honestly loved and chose her himself.
I can't believe I missed the obvious parallel to Roy/Riza and Ling/Lan Fan the first time around.That's probably why they didn't get a resolution, either.
>>44246Is there a Youtube link? The site keeps messing up.
>>44560 Well you have to think of thier positions, can hardly have open resolutions.
One thing I noticed that could be a minor plot hole: the cover story for the whole homunculus nonsense was an Alchemical coup by Gens. Clemin and Edison, during which both King and Selim Bradley were assassinated....so, how did they explain Selim turning up a.) alive and b.) about six years younger than he was when he "died," then?
>>44613The same way they covered up him appearing the same age with multiple families over many decades, but by different people.
>>446131. Mrs. Bradley claims to be pregnant with Bradley's child. (she looks like she's in her fifties, it's unusual but not impossible)2. 'names the new child after her lost son' quote-unquote.Not rocket science broseph.
I badly want there to be just like an hour long sequel ova or something showing traveling exploits of Ed and Al and also BABIES.It would be unnecessary and superfluous, but I would be so happy for it.
Well, we are still due one more OVA...I'm still holding out hope for 64 as an extended epilogue.
...Did he just say Lieutenant Hughes?
Don't mind me, just posting some awesome artwork.
>>44722That's nothing. In one of the Viz releases, they called him Commodore.
Don't mind me, just posting some adorable artwork.
I need to sit down and marathon the anime or something. I've only been keeping up with the anime on Adult Swim because I prefer the American dub, but I just really want to see everything animated all over again.I could always marathon it in Japanese, and then still watch it as it comes out....yeah that'll work...Also dead Lust = no more Laura Bailey ,and that makes me a sad Miley.
In total it's like what, 24 hours?
Holy crap, just watched last Saturday's episode. The anime made that fight a LOT more brutal than the manga.Also, damn, but FUNimation voice actors can scream in agony.
>>44769Yeah lust screams during that scream gave me goosebumps, and rizas screams made me sad :c
>>44769Yeah, that was wonderful. The Funi VAs really sold that shit well, I was both disgusted and ebullient when Lust went Getter-vision.
Hohenheim's up tonight in the dub
>Hohenheim's dub voice
So, 63...Why do you have to make me cry like such a bitch, Hohenheim?
>Episode 62OH GOD NOT ALPHONSENOT MY HUSBANDOHe gets better right? Right?? TELL ME HE GETS BETTER QAQ
>>45136 Dead, gone foreverMay kills herself in the epilogue out of grief...Ed goes to Germany
>>45136YOU'LL SEES WHEN YA SEES>>45141Hush you.
>>45143>>45118Where the fuck are you people watching the episodes like 24 hours before they're up on eclipse?
63 seems to end the manga storyline, so I'm guessing that confirms extended epilogue for 64.
>>45145 There's still the end part of the manga to do.
>>45144Nya torrents
>>45144Tomodachi release within the first day, and I grab the torrent over at tokytosho.I prefer eclipse, but they're slow and getting slower.
I'm surprised Armstrong didn't gush forth manly tears of admiration after Hoenheim offered his life in exchange for Al's.
Episode 64 is outhttp://www.tokyotosho.info/details.php?id=325281
:3
Is the stache a prerequisite of being Fuhrer?
>>45555"Hi, I'm Tony Stark"
>>45555He's not Fuehrer, but he is a full General.
>>45558And what I find really interesting is that although Mustang got power and prestige in the Military, he never got what he REALLY wanted: to be put in jail for his crimes in Ishval.
Now I want a new series that follows Al's adventures in Xing.
>>45585The Adventures of Al and the Chimera Bros.Includes the royal marriage of Emperor Ling to his bodyguard Lan Fan and their extended stay in Mei's house, during which time Al becomes infatuated with her and agrees to marry her when she is old enough.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-07-04/fullmetal-alchemist/brotherhood-movie-green-litSo is this gonna be a retelling, a sidestory, or what?
>>45587Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood: Conqueror of Atlantis. The plot revolves around an invasion of Amestris by a people that descend from the sky. It turns out these people are from the moon and the descendants of the Atlanteans that fled from our world during the fall of Atlantis and were made aware of life on the planet below by Father's attack on the moon. Only Roy Mustang and Edward Elric can master the power of friendship, transform into Super Amestrians and defeat the Atlanteans with the power of the Ultimate Alchemy Bomb. That was so awful it hurt to write it. Should have just gone with the standard "Derp Nazis Herp" joke.
>>45590Is it bad that I wanted to watch that?
>>45590I can't be the only one who read the title and immediately started thinking of this.
>>45595Same.
Just saw final episode. OH GOD BEST END.Except Hughes is still dead.
>>45587>The 64th and final episode of the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood television anime series ended in Japan on Sunday with an announcement that production on a theatrical version has been green-lit.Movie retelling
>>45603If that little girl's name isn't Trisha I'm gonna ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
>>45603I am bothered by adult Mei Ling. she looks exactly the same but taller and with boobs.
>>45634What did you expect?
>>45618It's Trisha Nina Elysia Olivia Zampano Albus Severus Maes Elric.
For those of you who thought Truth got off scott-free.
>>45618Think the boy's name is Hohenheim?
>>45794>Got off>dicks everywhereHA HA Sexual satisfaction!
I'm super-slowpoking, but I was wrong about Scott McNeil reprising his role in the Brotherhood dub. I guess they didn't announce it earlier because they didn't find out until close to recording time.
>>45922Oh, I wonder who the new VA is. Better go toodle off to Wikipedia and check it out.>John SwaseyHmm, that sounds familiar, what other voices did he do?>pictureFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
>>45930Only in the Director's Cut and Rebuild (Gendo's original voice actor, Tristan MacAvery, seems to have vanished from the face of the earth several years ago which I find disappointing because I thought he was a pretty good actors). He was also Gates in Full Metal Panic.
>>45931Damn straight.
I've been thinking of getting into the manga. I'm in kind of a funk right now, so I suppose now's as good a time as any. Is there any place where I can batch-download at least a good chunk of it?
I don't know about direct downloads, but demonoid has some complete batch sets.
>>45981Yar. I suppose I should get a torrenting before my connection decides to block it (in a few hours).
>>45981Okay, finished it. Thanks man. God tier ending. I started reading to get out of a funk, and now I'm going to be in a post-story funk for a good while. Can anyone post some fanart?
You want FMA fanart?
Well Alright Then!
Sir you are a gentleman and a scholar.
>>46224
>>46226Also comes in original manga flavour
Need moar! More fanart! After all ...
I got some, any particular subject?
I don't have nearly enough good 63
>>46231Goddamn. I went from left to right. I got getting to young Lust was daww-worthy enough. But then I saw Selim, saw that he was taller than everyone and realised what the artist was doing, and daaawwwed like a motherfucker.Anything with post-armor Al would be great. You don't see enough of that in the manga. Al x May for bonus points.
Holy shit. I just learned that the mangaka is a girl. Colour me surprised.
Should probably have re-sized schellibie's stuff
>May Chang>Her English voice actress, Monica Rial, also played Lyra in the 2003 anime series. >My Face
Any other requests?
>>46250Any of May with armored Al as well?
>>46252Yes, but most of it is porn.
>>46253How would that even work?
>>46253I would not complain.
You are a saint, sir.
>>46258
>>46258May climbs inside Al, strips naked, and starts rubbing herself all over the inside?Presumably the fact that Al is incapable of feeling anything is also someone's fetish.
>>46266>May climbs inside Al, strips naked, and starts rubbing herself all over the inside? She'd best be careful.>Presumably the fact that Al is incapable of feeling anything is also someone's fetish.I've never known absence of sensation to be grounds for a fetish, unless it involved Al not being aware that May is in there while going about his day.I'm also pretty sure armors with souls bound to them have some sense of feel, otherwise they'd be really uncoordinated.
>>46268Al states at several points that he can't feel anything. He can only see and hear.
another trickle of random pics until I get any requests
I'd like to order some Kimblee please.
>>46268Presumably the years of training he's gone through helped him adapt relatively quickly.
Loving the group images.>>46301Diabetus. I love stuff that pokes fun at moments in the manga.
HNNNNNNGH KIMBLEE I KNEW I LEFT SOMEONE OUT OF MY ANIMOO HAREMoh also can we get some Scar up in this bitch?
Ling and Ran Fan please sir!
all these _m's, it looks like I downloaded the medium sized pics Q_Q
Hey. Hey girlfriends.Kimblee x Scar.Eh? Eh?
I demand art that has been passed down the Armstrong line for generations. Preferably art that depicts delicious Olivia or Alex being a bro with Sig, but whatever.
>>46364 No
>>46375Y'know, this reminds me. Why isn't there any fanart of Heavy and Armstrong together?
>>46372>>46387The Armstrongs and Curtises are the epitome of Arakawa's maxim "MEN SHOULD BE HUGE! WOMEN SHOULD BE VAVOOM!"IIRC, she's actually gone on record to say that the only thing Alex and Olivia have in common is that both their chests are too big to button their uniforms properly.
It still amazes me that people deny that those kids are Ed and Winry's.
I think I'm going to just run this thread out, and a new one can start for the movie.
Though, as always, I'm taking requests.
>>46876They...what? Who the fuck else's would they be?
>>46879I can sort of see them watching the neighborhood kids, maybe. Would hardly be out of character for them...
>>46878You can keep up the Lan Fan stuff.>>46879I thought the younger one was Al and May's for a little bit, but realized we would have been shown if they were married by then.
People whose immediate reaction isn't >>46879 (which it ought to be) need only remember this picture.Also, there's no decent fucking fanart of this.
I've had to resist the urge to just dump edwin pics, I have an ungodly amount.
>>46901Shouldn't Kimblee have a frog and a boar with him as well?
Kimblee?and no, Jerso and Zampano never joined up with Greed.
>>46899>>45603HOLY SHIT IT'S THE SAME PHOTO
...and I'm spent.
>>46946Aaaaand, there's autosage.
