I'm up to episode 33 now... come on Roz - you are falling behind! THere is a plot point I want to discuss - so you need to hurry up!  Mark - have you finished watching the entire series? I can see what you mean about the story being pieced together and holes being filled in as the series progresses - the really designed the story well! |

It's true there will be a movie. I've seen the trailer However it really doesn't give anything away and it's impossible to tell just from that whether it carries on or is a splinter story (ie different story, different course of events but using the same characters). I don't think they'd do the latter. So fingers crossed eh? |

I dunno, maybe there will be a sort of recap / prologue to the movie. If I could read Japanese I'm sure I could glean a lot more information but sadly... *sigh*... I guess we'll just have to wait and find out At least I'll have a good reason to download this movie anyway - it won't be released in the USA for ages after and the official Japanese release probably won't have subtitles. Hooray for fansubs! |

Hurrah indeed! You know that means I will be begging you to get me a copy in that case Looking forward to the short jokes again - I loved them in the series - Ed's reactions were hilarious... not that you would have to worry about short jokes, eh Mark? |

Cool - is chain of memories the gameboy one?
Yep, Chain of Memories is for Game Boy Advace ... The gameplay is completely different than what is offered for the PS1 game. I think it might be just the right transition needed! Any luck with getting FMA episodes?
I could keep watching them completely out of order on [adult swim], but what's the fun of that! I went to Target and got the DVD for the first four episodes, but my mum might didn't want me to open it quite yet because she may buy it from me for my birthday. Sitting in my apartment doing my homework, I have the DVD in platic staring at me .... saying rip me open and watch me! GAH! I guess it'll take me ages before I'll actually be able to talk about anything significant! OH WELL! I'll enjoy it at a nice slooooow pace! LOL! The DVD are released at a rate of one per month (with four episodes or so on each). |

Was that the one that I saw that had not made reserve when I last looked? I was wondering what the reserve was. I also wonder if this is an official licensed version, if they have such a thing. I wouldn't want to pay for a clumsy imitation, much the same reason as I only buy Noble/United Cutlery type ventures for my LOTR/Potter merchandise. It costs more, but at least you get a quality product! And Roz - CosPlay  What kind of obssessed person would WANT to buy any FMA collectibles anyways  |

I'm really more than medium build What planet are you from? Let's face it you are a giant! The prospect of you trying on a pipsqueak's arm (you know the guy don't you - the one that's smaller than a grain of rice??) |

Isn't he the one that needs a magnifying glass to actually be seen? |

Yeah he's the one who is a tiny bug that escapes the wrath of a shoe because he's so small that he fits in the grooves and can't get squashed!

Well, I got the Fullmetal Alchemist: Volume One DVD for Easter! I was only able to watch the first episode so far, and I prolly won't get to watch the rest until later this week BUT the first episode didn't ruin any of my expectations ... they were all met, and I'm looking forward to future episodes After asking my host-mum about stuff available in Japan, I was sent some stuff instead! I got the first nine mangas and the first manga based on the series. She also some machine-bought cards from a role playing game that resembles Pokemon or Magic the Gathering. |

Ooooh - you've just scratched the surface there! The episodes get better and better as you progress through the series. The only reason I could not sit and watch it all in one sitting as because of minor problems such as sleep, food, university classe, thesis writing, friends and family etc. Annoying, but necessary |

Well, that's some of my problems as well ... just add waiting for the DVDs! For me, the special features are worth that much. I watched some of the original Japanese T.V. promo spots, and they were quite enjoyable! I've been hearing so much about the progression that I don't know if this wait will work ...

Aww lucky you! I want to get the first DVD with the promo tin (which will house a further 4 DVDs when they are released, apparently) but I'd be worried about the tin getting dented on the way over the Pond |
