Or at least a final episode that's just a 20 minute trailer for the movie, dropping a few characters you won't see into a plothole.

Spoiler Below

Dante, anyone?

This is good. The manga is the better of the two, and an anime adaptation that follows it would be nice.

The FMA movie proves, once again, that Nazis are ultimately behind everything.

I recently watched the movie, finally finishing the series.

It wasn't very good. That is all.

Yeah the ending of FMA (episodes 49 - 51) was definitely disappointing and seemed to end rather abruptly and left many cliff hangers that made me curious for the longest time what happened. Then I learned they had made the FMA movie. I watched it in subtitles but the subtitles were so screwed up and fast that I had to constantly pause the movie (I should have just went with the dub on this one X.X). And plot wise it was very disappointing as well. For instance: Spoiler Below

Mustang was retarded for about 3/4 of the movie instead of badass, many killed characters 'returned' which was disappointing because the series was good because when people died they actually died. The huge lack of alchemy was of course disappointing; I was not phased by Al's ability to control robots that just waddled like penguins for 5 minutes before really doing anything.

Anyway despite my random complaints above I did enjoy episodes 40 - 45 or so of the first series very very much.

---

I'm definitely looking forward to this new series as well. I heard rumor about it probably in mid February or so and have been anxious since.

The only thing I'm concerned about is how characters will be depicted in the new series. Am I still going to expect Ed to be short tempered, are some homunculus going to be more insane/sane then previously? And most importantly, will Kimbley be just as or more badass than he was in the first series?

I thought Mustang was okay, and, the dead characters didn't "return", those were just alternate/parallel universe versions of themselves. However, I did find just about everything else to be random and/or ridiculous. The Atomic Bomb nonsense, Nazis, psychic fortune-telling gypsies and such...

The series DID leave plotholes as big as Australia, and it was a big assed disappointment, i just hope they have catched the spirit of the manga better in this one, i can only speak from what i have seen in the manga (Don't trust me to 100%, YOU might think it suck or it does suck we don't know untill it airs) there will be, more badassery, more wierd homonculus and kimbely i think will rock to a certain degree.

Just saw the first episode, so much win.

Edit: These spoilers specifically are about the new series, unlike my spoiler above that refers to the first series.

Spoiler Below

Nooo, why did the Ice Alchemist already die?

His arsenal of transmutations just about pwned everyone else’s from the previous series!

Definitely an awesome episode. Glad to see a lot of the former actors still voice the same characters and that the artwork is consistent.

My favorite scene in the episode was the depiction of the Ice Alchemist versus Bradley in the dark alleyway. I really like how they used the 'Sin City' approach for that scene. Unfortunately the fight was short lived, but I guess what happens when you haphazardly fight Bradley.

**X-3** · 04-12-2009, 08:46 PM

Episode two was cool, but it's important scenes were eclipsed...by this.

What's the matter, brother? Too SWEET for you?

on a side-note, now I know why Ed is short! I think.

Youtube has the subbed series officially broadcasting here...
