Holy double post! I don't usually do this, but today had to be an exception of a major kind. Talk about Anime craze, today seems to be such a day. I can't help it! It started by watching some old stuff (Neon Genesis, Tenchi Muyo!) and now... now....Wait! Must fill in the gaps with back story goodness! (Otherwise, things might make even less sense then it might already)
Some days ago, my girlfriend informed me that she read somewhere that Fullmetal Alchemist was continuing. Now since she couldn't say for sure where she read it and when, I took it as nothing more then probably a April Fools joke.
Fast forward to today and by happenstance, I ended up browsing through an article that confirmed her words to be true. There is, in fact, a brand new series that was released on April 5th. The name? Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Okay, before I write on, there is one thing that needs clearing up. The series isn't entirely "new," in that it is actually an adaption of the Manga. Or at least it should be more faithful towards the storyline in that series.
Anyway, like a man possessed, I began to scour the internet for relief. Someone in the world had to have uploaded the episode and I was right!
My conclusion? There is much more action in the first episode, much more then I remember seeing in the original series. And the story telling so far is top notch, as far as I'm concerned. Considering that I've read quite a few chapters of the Manga myself, it'll be interesting to finally see this story in living color.
My wonder is this though: When it arrives here in America, I wonder if there will be the same voice cast? Or a different one? My hopes (as I'm sure it is for a good portion of the series' fans) is they will get them all back. I know, I know, that sort of wish is certainly a stretch by any account. But still...
Fullmetal Alchemist is back!
