I had been hoping for FMA OVAs for some time now. But this is better than nothing. Now if they made Ultimate Berserk OVAs, I would pay through the nose to see them.

I've always wondered what the FMA hype is about, and if this is true, I guess I'll find out by watching a better version, hopefully.

And, of course, Darker than Black 2 would be a must watch for me.

The manga I would say is definitely better than the anime version. The releases have been quite slow though (I get mine from TMI-Scans whose latest chapter was chapter 80...if theres anyone better, please PM me because I really want to catch up and I hate forgetting whats going on in the story). However, the story from the anime and the movie I thought was still great.

If you ever get a chance Buff, I'd still give the first anime a go if you ever get bored or if there's no new anime to watch. Its director is the one who is currently working on Gundam 00 and he gave the FMA anime a fine ending.

Onemanga.com is up to chapter 86.

Of course they may be evil for some reason and I don't know about it yet. :D

I liked FMA. A lot.

I don't know how I feel about seeing a retelling. Unlike some mangas adaptations like Mahou Sensei Negima, they took the given material and made a great story. Besides, where would they start their tale? At the very beginning? Or in the middle where the story branched off?

Having never read the manga, I guess the first release of FMA was not canon then? And now they are trying to redo it?

I hope DTB gets a second season as well. I tried reading the manga a bit but it was a lot less serious than the anime was and i gave up.

I don't know... I don't think it'll be a retelling. With the first one being so successful, I don't see why they would. It would make more sense for it to be sequel. Though a very loyal adaptation of the manga I wouldn't be that opposed to.

I'm crossing my fingers for a faithful re-telling of the manga.

Then again, we'll learn more on the 12th of this month (as the mostly empty site promises, and there's also supposed to be a divulging of info some time after that...

Now that would be a kick. Take the already alternate story and run with it. It would be exciting to see what kind of new conflict they could come up with. Especially one that could compare to the Philosopher's stone.

So between the first anime and the manga, where exactly did they go their separate ways? Curious minds want to know! :)

dubious grounds for potential spoilers, but...

about episode 28 (where Izumi puts Ed and Al on the training island again and they encounter Wrath) is where the anime deviates from the manga. From that point there are maybe two or three things from the manga that are implemented in the anime, but, for the most part, it's all completely different

I was curious why no this thread hasn't had any new info. I did a double check of the website using some babelfish -- seems like they were releasing a poster on the 12th. Unless I'm wrong, there won't be any new info this month. :|

The main staff has already been announced in Newtype last month. The new project’s director, Yasuhiro Irie, had previously overseen Kurau: Phantom Memory, opening animation footage for the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime and Soul Eater, and episodes of Alien Nine and RahXephon. Hiroshi Ohnogi (Kekkaishi, Noein, Macross Zero) is supervising the scripts, while Hiroki Kanno (RahXephon, Yu Yu Hakusho The Movie: Poltergeist Report) is designing the characters. Akira Senju (Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, Red Garden, Rampo) is composing the music. Besides Oyama, MBS’ Hiro Maruyama, Square Enix’s Nobuyuki Kurashige, and BONES’ Noritomo Yonai are producing.
Viz Media published the 17th volume of the manga version in North America last October, while FUNimation Entertainment released both the first television series and its theatrical movie finale.

Anyone else pleased to hear that?I know I am.

Edit: Thanks for the move, I tried searching for the remake thread, just couldn't seem to find er.

Have they said whether this will be a sequel or, more likely, a different take on the original series?

What about voice actors? Will they remain the same?

Don't know about all of them though. It'll be quite hard I would assume to get them all back.

The series seems like it'll be called "Fullmetal Alchemist"... I wonder why they didn't call it something else to differenciate it from the previous series.

Good to see Ed and all got the same VO as the first anime. They did a really good job. If they've got all the major VO it would be really good, but I doubt it.

Hagaren is one of my favourite series. I remember when I first started downloading anime, I've only seen it on tv. I watched Naruto from Aone&ANBU. Then ANBU started subbing a new series, FMA. It was really kickass, the animation, the fighting and the story. I've been reading the manga a bit and I feel like it's Christmas in April :)
