Full Metal Alchemist coming to US soon
At Otakon 2004 they were handing out cards like postcards with artwork from FMA on them. On the back of each of the 30 cards they read Full Metal Alchemist coming to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Expect to see the first airing in November 2004 and the Vol 1 DVD January 18, 2005.
Sorry if this has already been stated but just wanted to give the heads up ^-^ ::EDIT:: Also at the Funimation booth in thge dealers room they ran the 1st opening on a screen and I heard the english voice for Alphonse Elric. I believe that many of you will think that the voice actor fits the part. |

Anime airiing on Teletoon is looking less and less likely unless they totally take us by surprise, but keep using the Suggest-A-Show! It's the best way to get the message through them quickly and clearly.
I guess FMA is a possibility for YTV, but... it would be such a huge contrast to the station and just about everything they've ever aired. I mean, they could easily air it uncut with a 14+ and everything, but the subject matter just doesn't seem like something that would fit on YTV. Sure, they used to air the Oddities and Aeon Flux at midnight, but that was a long time ago. And I just can't picture them advertising FMA in the same fashion as their other shows... it just wouldn't work. Of course, I can see Square-Enix and FUNi pushing FMA harder than any property they've had before, so I think the odds of SOMEBODY airing it in Canada by next year are fairly good. |

YTV is now the top Canadian station for teens thanks mostly to Inuyasha. It took a long time, but I think the message has finally gotten through their thick, thick heads and they'll be trying a little harder to support uncut from now on.
I mean, compare them to Teletoon, who hasn't aired a single anime program in six years, (apart from Megaman NT Warrior), even though anime was one of the areas stressed in their original station initiative. |

They ARE changing because they HAVE gotten lots of feedback from Inuyasha fans. The fan response for the show has been ENORMOUS. Considering that the show debuted with no advertising whatsoever, it has performed far beyond their expectations, and YTV knows it.
If they change their look to something even remotely mature this fall (I haven't seen any images yet, but it's supposed to be totally different from what they have now), then I think that Fullmetal Alchemist will find a good home on YTV. The mature stuff is going to slowly take precedence over the kiddy stuff. Just you watch. |

Here's hoping! If YTV got FMA...I would run around screaming, I do that when I get that ecxited about something on YTV, like when they FINALLY air a new episode of something after months of reruns from starting the series over completely...oi. I would worship them forever!

Besides, this is what the DVDs are for. No edits, JP audio + subs. And you should care, since FUNimation has rights to it in the entire R1 region, which includes canada (they may have rights in more places, but I don't know.) |
