plus people in japan like FMP because of the lovey dovey stuff. there a very sexual people. yes they like the mecha stuff (even the girls i might add a thank you) but they are still big on the who sosuke and kaname part.

and the push for the next installment of the FMP anime to go into production will be because of fans in japan. i would also go as far as to say that there are more fans of anime in japan than there are in America.

the reason most production companies here in America have so much trouble with getting certain animes is because the Japanese don't really care weather or not there stories come to America.

i never liked gundum (i dont care if i spelled it right) i dont really like the mecha fighting. i like FMP for the story between sousuke and kaname. thats it, if it has that then im happy. but this happens to be the only show that i can stand the mecha fighting. but ive come to a realization; i dont think it will ever end. sousuke will like kaname but is unable to express it without kaname getting pissed off. and i find that this is what happens in every story. but i cant stop reading it because i need closure. untill then i will hate it but will ove it for the same reason

EDIT:sorry for the long reply about nothing really, i tend to ramble on and get really really serious about nothing when i get tired...

They already expressed their feelings already, though in terms to Sousuke being a certain way and Kaname going berserker on him, well thats just the comedy behind FMP. However, from things in the last chapter, Im thinking it wouldn't be a problem.

It's possible that the prepublication of the next novel will begin in September this year. I didn't completely understand the message about that in fullmeta.com or in Shoji Gatoh blog ( http://gatoh.com/weblog/ ).

Yeah, something like a "run to you" type scene, where they kiss unthinkingly, then blush, then pull away, then Kana smacks him...but lightly, on the shoulder, unable to look at him.

Then Kurz will pop up and laugh.

Next (Last?) chapter of FMP WILL start this September. Sounds pretty mean for MMD started also a few months after BOMF.
ps. Doesn't Chidori looks like dancing on the pic?

Jesus Christo lol Sept?!
What's up with that?
Hmmm....maybe he's thinking a bit more about the final chapter and how it will end no? Or maybe its just a tactic to get more people to yearn for it (more than we already are)
lol, kinda answered my question with another question. XD

We have had to wait 6 month between BOMF and MMD (but only 3 between COMO and BOMF).

BOMF has finished in the October 2005 issue of Dragon Magazine and MMD has started in the May 2006 issue.

If the next story start in September that will make exactly 6 month since the end of MMD

Perhaps a side story will be published, after all "Tuatha de Danaan no Tanjou" has been serialized just after BOMF.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but have been reading it since forever.

So this question may sound REALLY stupid, but I was just wondering how I could quote another person when I post? Thanks

[velvet nightmare]

there's a quote button at the bottom right of each persons post box

Thanks soo much!!!!!

[Rall)eon117X]

So, Brandi isnt going to be translating the novels anymore eh? Thanks a lot Tokyopop -_-. I guess Im going to have to rely on Shandi, Vicky and Jeannie now. They did a great job on the prologue and page one of BOMF (I havent read more than that as i got a quiz tomorrow to study for lol). Thanks a lot guys!

That being said, it was great that i got to read EDBD, DVMC, and COMO, which were excellently done by Brandi. But i need more, and so do a lot of us. Keep translating guys! Very much appreciated!
