I cannot believe I forgot about this. Shame.

I'm glad to hear people responded so well to the footage of the film. I feel pretty good about this. Hopefully Funimation/Aniplex can get it state-side for showings. If they did, I'd go in a heartbeat.

My only question: is Rie Kugimiya voicing Alphonse? That's the only thing I'm still worried about at this point.

Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist franchise remains one of, if not the most popular anime series in the last 15 years alongside Death Note and Shōnen Jump staples.

The way this is worded seems to imply that Fullmetal Alchemist is a Shonen Jump series, it's certainly a shonen manga, but it didn't run in Jump or any other Shueisha publication.

This is what I want to know too. They changed the voice for Koro sensei in the Ansatsu Kyoushitsu movies so there's the possibility they may change Al's voice.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with the wording.

I'm curious how far in the story the movie will get. I mean, this is a long series so it doesn't seem very possible to fit everything into two hours.

Wow reading this making me have my hope up even more! When I saw the trailer, I was already excited honestly..Wish I was there though to witness Ryosuke Yamada in person!! He's such a cutie! and he definitely fits Ed's role. I hope Funi or someone license it in the US and release it in theaters here when December hits!
