Im just wondering and i cant find anything on the web about it, but does anyone know when the season is going to release in the U.S.?

No license announcement yet. At the last comic-con, Funimation said they were in talks for licensing the anime.

BTW Welcome to our forums. Please reduce your the size of your signature to 500 pixels wide by 300 pixels in height. Thanks.

I heard that they may be able to license it BEFORE it airs.

If that's the case... *sigh*

i just hope it doesnt get licenced before its release...just cant see that happenin...

don't get your hopes up. its prolly not gonna come out until summer in eng dub or maybe winter

According to a Funi rep that I talked to, USA is looking at Christmas at the earliest for a DVD release.

Wow, just wow. The Christmas season seems suprisingly early for the release of the first DVDs- Funimation is really jumping one this. If that is the intended plan, aren´t they going to have to start auditions for voice actors and actresses quite soon?

They (Funi folks at comicon or whatever it was) say they're getting most of the old cast back apart from Aaron for obvious DEEP reasons. It'll be a while before any new characters come in so they have plenty of time.

For those worried about Funi licensing FMA, don't be.
We all know they'll do it as soon as they can but that's not going to stop fansubbers. Soul Eater it still getting subbed, albeit slowly. You may want to learn to use torrents though...

They made money off FMA who wouldn't re release it in America?

i wasnt asking if they were releasing it, i was asking when

^As for when, maybe licensed around summer. They said once it's licensed, DVDs will hit shelves 9 months after. So spring of 2010 probably(release date wise).

I guess that the region 2 dvds for the UK will be out sometime after the American ones huh?
I don't really know how these things work.

DDDDDAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT. WHY DOES THE UK ALWAYS GET STUFF LAST. anyway enough stressing. yeah it'll be a while. but never fear we of ye olde england, the anime chanels on sky will soon have it airing at 9 prolly. (realises he hasn't got sky but digital)..............crap

wow sweet that is so cool. and i so can't wait for it to come here in the U.S.!!!!

It won't be for a while. Maybe some time around next year. Maybe the year after next. It takes a while to dub an Anime, and it hasn't even aired in Japan yet, so come down.

I can not imagine people having the patience to wait for the dubbed version! =p
Guess that could take pretty long, but I hope for the fans of dubbed anime it will be airing soon!
But I'm just reeeeaaally glad I love subbed versions =p

Well I dont if this is the right place to post. but I read somewhere (Which I forgot Where), that FUNimation will post Full Episodes of English Subbed FMA: Brotherhood on thier website on 4/9/09. That can also Prove that they'll license it??

Look Here (fullmetalalchemist.com)

Yes, Funimation is the United States licensee.

Is FUNimation going to use the rightfull opening?
cause if they don't, I will personally nuke them
I hate how americans use stupid op for the english dub.
by the way,
I'm Korean

That practice pretty much stopped. The only anime I've seen doing it in recent years in Ouran.
Also, no offence, but nobody cares where you are from.

Im Just wondering Which VA will be voicing Al in the English Dub. thats got me wondering.
