Nothing yet... until then I never read nor have interest in the new installations to the franchise...

The cover art for FMP! Sigma v.19, FMP! Another v.6, and FMP! 0 v.1 have all been posted to the FujimiShobo site now. --Well, we've already seen FMP!A v.6's cover, but now the rest has been released ^.^

I'm so happy the Sigma cover is Kaname and Sousuke together~! It's what I kept hoping it would be!! Although Sousuke's happy smile is a bit horrifying on his face XDDD I-Is that Kousuke? That's Kousuke, right? Sousuke doesn't make that face...! XD

Still disappointed in FMP!0's art, especially looking at that cover. I cannot even begin to figure out what Mao's hips are doing. I'll probably buy it anyways just to support the franchise, but, ow...

The 15th Anniversary event goes from September 20th (the release date for the above-mentioned 3) until October 6th! More information in the link I shared above.

On a separate note entirely...

I tweeted a pic of my 15mo/old son cosplaying as Bonta-kun (here) to Shikidouji, Hiroshi Ueda, and Shouji Gatoh, AND THEY ALL RESPONDED, AAAAHHHHH!!!! I expected only Shikidouji to, since she seems to talk the most to fans, but amg! All of them!! Gatoh RT the pic and sent a tweet directly at me saying he's cute! I keep fangirling like crazy over this Q____Q Halp. I need help... lol! Shikidouji wants to squish him XDDD

That just made my week/month/year, and I wanted to share ^_^

Oh. My. God. By the Lenin!
Truly, the final days are nigh!
I have to see this.

It looks like a goddamn fan-art, and bad one. I bet some of our fan-artists can do better manga than that. At least their characters won't look like a product of unhealthy sexual intercourse between a crayon and a left foot.
Still, I'll give it a chance.


*ENVY*

That's great. And the kid IS really cute, so it's no surprised all of them were charmed) All the more reason for a lucky mom to be proud of the wonderful baby, eh?)))

Well, looks like Sigma has officially ended with the release of this month's dragon age...

Is anyone else as conflicted about FMP!Zero as I am? The more art I see of it, the less I want anything to do with it, but I also want to support it in order to support FMP. I am so torn Q___Q Do I buy it when the first volume comes out (I'm already gonna be putting in an order anyways) or do I not? I haven't seen more than a few pages of it, so I suppose it might not be too bad. But what I have seen of it, and some of the redesigns, it just... doesn't fit the feel of the 'verse? The Savage design looks more steampunk and Spartan inspired, and that just doesn't really work for it. On its own, it wouldn't be a bad design, but in FMP, that's just not the feel. It's supposed to be high tech, not going BACK in time.

Gah. I don't know if I'm being overly critical or what Q_Q I want to like it, I really do. And I want to support it. But I'm just... not happy with it, even though I feel like I should be, because YAY more FMP, that's hopeful!

Edit:
Figure I should add some images so people know which ones I'm talking about.

Who was dreaming about a new season "later 2013"...

ugg, noooooo... Why is Gatoh letting this happen? :bash:

Is that... Amagi Park (sp?) further down... no date shown, so I suppose it's "Coming Soon"? I wouldn't mind seeing Bonta-kun's friends :D

Holy tits. Maybe mention the website is NSFW? XD My kid is still thankfully too young to think of boobs as much more than a food source or something that makes mommy look weird but he was right behind me when I opened that up, and other people might have older kids (or their parents) lurking XD

I don't knooowww. The art seriously scares me though ToT

...And yes! That's Amagi Brilliant Park! The first 2 volumes are out! I own the first, I'll be getting the second when I put in my order at the end of the month.

ISUZU IS SO FREAKING CUUUUUTE *snuggles her* I love her design~! (And Gatoh must have a thing for hair bows XD)

*Looks at the pictures of Savage, long and hard. Goes to the corner to cry*
What the hell did they do to my favorite AS?!
And even the Russian name Ливень is wrong! It' "Downpour", not Savage! Savage is Дикарь!

I think its safe to give up on a new FMP anime

Gatoh said that util he gave up and say that it is impossible, we can still have hope!

Two more days to raise our hope! On 20th we will have the special event, who knows...

That anniversary set is so beautiful Q___Q Who wants to spot me the near $500 I need for it? =P

(Editing to add so I don't double post)

FMP!0 came out today. We've got some more pictures (found here)

It got worse.... This is Gauron... Does, does Kasahara know Gauron is Japanese? Because those features, with those cheekbones and that angular face and the sunken eyes and the.... ....he doesn't look Japanese to me.

I don't think it's ever stated what ethnicity
Gauron is. Hell, even Gauron doesn't know.

If I had to put a guess, I'd say Khmer, because he was a child soldier with the Khmer Rouge, but that's just a guess and doesn't mean anything. Sousuke was Japanese and a child soldier for the muj.

It is stated clearly, I just don't remember exactly where. I think it might've been book 3 when Dannigan calls him Chinese, I think that's when he says he's Japanese

EDIT: Double-checked, and yup.

"By the way, what I did a moment ago was jujitsu from my homeland, Japan. Joooohhhhnnnn."

Seems Another vol 6 is about Geotron recovering pieces of AI unit of the Arbalest destroyed in Japan 13 years ago so they can have Lambda Drive tech again

Brings up memories. Why doesn't FMP have a 4th season. What does current crappy moe slice of life anime have that FMP hasn't that requires 3rd, 4th, up to 50 episodes?! Look at One Piece, look at Naruto, look at Bleach, they're crappy action shows!!!!:frustrated::(

it begins

I spy TAROS in that wall of text. Are LD equipped armslaves back?

Nope, Geotron just wants advanced AI system for unmanned ASes.
