Ah well.

Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
See, this is why I was pissed off. Abdula picks apart my post for an awkward (but non-spoiler, by design) phrasing of a detail about a character, saying that it is "really obvious" Bradley did something they never show him do. He knew full well I would have to talk about the old anime in detail, which I refused to do. Yeah, the implication is that I don't know what I'm talking about, as he said in his PM to me.
Though my post was obliterated, I didn't really say anything about Bradley, except that he used a damn power on this show.
His lame rhetoric needs to stop. He is a classic troll, and I am ashamed to have become caught up in his pace. Apologies to the rest of the forum.

"After all, I am strangely colored."
correct translation, however its the left arm :P
Douchebox
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
So in light of all the C&D letters that Funimation sent out to all of the groups, I'm guessing from the exact matches in filesize that this is...a totally brand new group?
/s
EDIT:
Eclipse's version is out as well.

Does that mean every week it's gonna be trickier and trickier to get our fix?
Or are the groups just going to hide behind 7 proxies?
Certain groups (who I won't name outright) are not contactable through any means recognized as official avenues to deliver a legal notification. They have operated this way for years.
It will change a little, but not significantly. That said, if you live in the US, or other locale where you can access and view Funimation's streamed version, you should do so.
duly noted, thanks.
when does funimation usually update? They don't have 4.
Realizing we joined at the same time; I need to stop lurking.
\heh, i found my avatar.
I'm confused by his death in the beginning. I kinda thought this series was filling in the blanks from the first up until now. It seems out of place.

here is eclipse's release http://torrents.no-sekai.de/eclipse/...5d.mkv.torrent
Just watched episode 3 and know I should not post about it here, but is it just me, but the animation in the first series of FMA was better than this one? And also I hate the stupid 'funny' faces they make in the middle of some serious action. Also I dont like how they showed them running away from the henchmen with Rose. Too loose and too not serious considering the story of this show. Not liking it one bit!
hmmm seems like I can't watch it in my area (germany)
do I have to shit bricks more than usual if I keep downloading it ?
who or what is FUNimation btw?
looks like a better version of Crunchylol, not bad at all
oh and where can I check which regions can watch this show and which not? (just curious whether it's only FMA or all the other stuff there too.)
Still a sad episode no matter if its this version or the previous. Poor poor Nina.
And it surprised me that Basque Gran died so soon.
Shinsen's forums were loaded with people who CLAIMED to be able to view the stream in other countries, but so far as I can tell, it's the US, Canada and maybe the UK. Australia cannot because the rights to FMA are owned by another company, Singapore can't, and obviously a large chunk of the non-English speaking EU can't either.Originally Posted by KrayZ33

Funimation is a licensing/distributor in the US probably best known for many years as the distributors of Dragonball...and not too much else until recently. In 2005, they were acquired by another publishing corporation, whereafter they began to send out a whole hell of a lot more C&D letters.

That said, as most licensors go, their translations are pretty good, and I like their thin-packs.
@Cal_kashi:
As for updates, they're probably a week behind, like Crunchyroll when you're not getting fleeced by their pay-to-watch-sooner policy.
----------------------------------------------------
So, by the conversation in the squad offices, they're skipping over the coal mine incident.
I have to say I wish they skipped over this episode, one of the few I remembered all to clearly, and certainly did not want to see again. But the man with the X-shaped scar (spoiler: since they haven't official named him) seems important, so I guess you can't skip the disgusting waste of life that is Shou Tucker. That death was too easy for him. I would have preferred it be...messier.
This series needs an infusion of Winry...
EDIT: Naruto_RNG confirmed below that Canadians can use their site. Updated appropriately.

I remember stopping seeing the original series after this episode since I found its manga source to be different (and that I didn't had enough HDD at the time). I kinda remember the ending being different on the anime for it started deviating from the manga. Can't remember what did though. But yes... that guy's dead was too light.
Uhh... you aware those 'funny faces' are in the manga... right?
About Funimation... I like their work on One Piece (have bought 3 dvd sets from them... 39 episodes... haven't bought the recent ones) but screw them on FMA. I can't watch their streams either (Mexico) even though some of their dvd get released in my region (on Mixup stores or similar music / dvd stores)

Nice I didn't know They were doing it. Its open for Canada as well, I just checked. sweet I'll be watching this series and Phantom there now. Though got to get use to watching a week late hehe.
It seem like a lot of people are having problem with the drastic shift from serious to comedy.
This is actually common in most shounen manga and that include FMA. This series is being very true to the manga so far with a few minor exception, so i suggest getting used to those faces or simply drop the show if it bothers you that badly.
I'm used to reading manga so that sort of things doesn't really bug me, but i can see why some peoples might be bothered by it. I usually just see it as a "break" from all of the tension build up during the serious moments of the episode. This is also the sort of comedy that might be better in manga format so when translated to animation, it doesn't really works that well.
edit: I also suggest not going into this and expecting it to be similar to the first series because it most likely won't be. The manga is far less "serious" and "tragic" when compare to the first series.
Anyways, that's my rant.
I'll try to refrain from making anymore connection to the first series or the manga, but i believe this had to be said.
Well, as for episode discussion, this was certainly the most powerful episode thus far. The mother dying and brothers losing limbs/bodies was done well enough, but given the amount of development it got, you didn't really feel anything for them. They were well done I'll say, but not that effective.
In contrast, Nina and Alexander are probably the most likable characters so far, apart from Armstrong. She was so excited to finally get her Dad's attention, then BANG:
They're turned into mutated what-you-call-them. And still they worry for their Dad.
THIS is why you don't fuck with human transmutation.
A painless death was more than Shou Tucker deserved, but I'm glad they killed him off either way. An extra Tucker episode may cost me a new LCD monitor.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Armstrong likable? never...
Good ep, some minor shifts from manga, but in my opinion anime did those scenes better than manga.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
The scene where the chimera spoke to Ed and he realized it was Nina...that was creepy as heck even tho ive seen the original and knew it was coming, gave me goosebumps ;P
______________________________________
"Always be yourself... unless you suck."
The Nina + Alexander creature is a "chimera" in English and Greek. It's pronounced very similarly to how the Japanese pronounce it, though I think we stress the middle syllable instead of the first.
Yeah, Tucker is a sorry sack of shit.
And yeah, I like Armstrong too.
I think the show is pretty "serious". It has a feel like Hunter x Hunter, since the consequences of messing up are so serious. Current characters really do die, unlike other anime (*cough* One Piece, which I like for very different reasons)
"After all, I am strangely colored."
I always thought it was pronounced kye-mare-ra, while the Japanese pronounced it Shi-mer-ra. Meh, like you said, we seem to stress the middle syllable. I hesitated to use the term because the definition I was taught is that a mythical Chimera was a mixed animal of a certain combination, ie lion, snake and goat.
What Tucker said did bring up a good point though. Many significant medical advances took place either during a war, an epidemic, or was experimented on people inhumanely (eg on POW). Only when people died could we find ways to save others.
These days, we've got Ethics Committees and stuff. Is that "progress" in terms of humanity, or is it an "obstacle"? In Ed's words "There's only so much you can do transmutating animals."
This law of equivalent exchange thing is depressing.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
