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  I got this promo tin set from Amazon (using the Shack's link of course) and it was packaged very well. You shouldn't have any dents in it if you get it from Amazon.  |

Woo - Anna is getting hooked as well! Let us know what you think. It not really 'scary' per se, more gruesome. So if you can't stand the sight of blood... close your eyes for a bit. But the rest, as we have been saying, is great! I'm rewatching the series now in real time rather than the frenetic pace I was the first time so I can fully appreciate the storyline  |

It's well worth it - you have to remember that we (in the Western World in general) regard "cartoons" as a kids thing, so the gruesome beginning shocked me, but after that it's a fantastically heartwarming tale  well so far it is - shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Jo |

That's just jealousy because I have such interesting stories to sit through, whilst you have to wait for the movie - maybe you should be waggling that finger at Anna who has 51 to go |

Pah... I am just sitting here smugly awaiting the movie and re-watching the series (and looking out for the plot points this time!). And my FMA watch of course Anna - you SO need to start now! At the rate Roz is going, you could probably catch up to her |

And now FMA is just going on to my "things to watch" list. If I could only watch these DVDs at work, it would be better use of my time (my opinion), but my boss seems to disagree with me.  |

Jo I'm going to have to send you the English dubbed version when I have completed the first DVD full. I think it's an excellent quality dub and I've been picking up bits that I didn't notice before, or didn't quite understand properly. I don't know whether that's because of the fan sub quality or if it's just because you always pick extra bits up the second time around but either way it's still just as enjoyable Another 6 weeks and I should have the first DVD ready... man these things come out so slowly!! |

Really? I always cringe when I hear dubbed anime (thinks Spirited Away horror ) You really need to hear the Japanese inflections and speech patterns to really get into the spirit of thing, in my opinion. Or maybe I am just a purist snob At the moment I am rewatching the series (slowly) and I am picking up much more this time around. Thanks for the offer Mark - I can't wait til the movie!!! |

Keep in mind 3 Shack members are using the subs in question as signature lines... don't bag out the subs too much, or you'll hurt their feelings :'(

Subs are, indeed, the best way to watch any foreign language film/cartoon! I couldn't imagine watching any Miyazaki film without subs. I'm hoping to watch the first episode of FMA in Japanese tonight (we'll see how that goes). Anna and I will have the fun of waiting for each DVD to be released ... what fun! As a side note, there's something about translation that is rather difficult. From my experience in looking at translations from Japanese literature/cartoon/movies, some things are translated similarly or changed because of possible cultural misunderstanding ... there's just a plethora of reasons why a translation is the way it is but that doesn't go without saying that some are just bad Translation as a profession just boggles my mind because of all the things you have to think about ... On a side note, I didn't get the special tin set. I didn't even know about an American Version of one until Mark mentioned it (and Anna's reply). Perhaps, someday I'll breakdown and buy it ... |

Well - that's all true but the reason I have not taken to these subs so quickly as some of ours of fan subs, not official subtitles by the makers but done by the fans, and are full of typos etc, that's why I was teasing |
