My gosh, Buraha, really? XD That's awesome!

That was quite kawaii!!! I wonder what the story of the Blue one is.... (hopefuly some Royai.... )

that FMA book red and figure, Rolfie (Rolfkaese) has it in his website. funny how it downloads faster than Bleach chap 151

oh man, after my PC crash and sleepless nights working on my portfolio, I get lagged behind and i'm now outdated! Sorry for not being around much lately, guys. (Did anyone read my new fanfic at ff.net, titled "My Hayate"? No? Oh well... >_<;;; )

Anyway, Office Love (probably the ONLY english Royai site) which I have loved and cared for since june of last year, has finally died. Thanks to Geocities. I'll try to revive it when I could finally afford to pay for server costs or if Byrantq fixes my log-in prob. Or if anyone else would like to pick up from where I started, just tell me and I'll send you all my materials (including those ps2 game cutscenes of tobenai tenshi and dream Carnival, and mp3s of songs sung by fma characters in different roles... like, say Riza Hawkeye's seiyuu, Michiko Neya, singing as Barnette Orangelo of Vandread and Winry's seiyuu, Megumi Toyoguchi as Parfait Balbair of the same series.

Zannen desu ne...

Finally... I WANT THAT ROYAI PILLOW!!!

i want the roiai pillow too XD


hmm, i'm slightly tempted to continue office love maybe after i'm finished with my last two portfolios, i'll brush up on my html

If you want hosting, I can provide that, you know. :3 My server's just not using the space it has available. XD

T___T ehhh? office love ruled! what a shame to see it go! i know like...basic HTML at best, so i know i could never continue it to any justice...but it will be missed if no one picks up the torch.

heh, if those mp3's are up for grabs tho, i would LURVE to get my paws on them. XD were they hosted at the site? i don't recall ever seeing them! O_o

quick question!!! Which episode was the one where Roy said that if he gets to the top, he'll make all the girls wear skirts?

I believe that was episode 13.

Yes that was ep.13.

actually, they were supposed to be up for grabs on my next update... w/c was supposed to be my move to fm-a.com's server. But it's partly my fault for delaying my move so long and not updating geocities. I'll try reviving it though, when I can. The mp3s, plus the game cutscenes, were supposed to be my x'mas gifts for you guys but... *sigh* woe is me...



thanks Izumi, I'll consider it... I'm still waiting for an announcement from Bryantq about the log-in though. Actually, hehe, I'm really tempted to take the offer right now. what's your web address? ^^;;

anyway, hopefully when I revive Office Love, I'll finally have my own materials by then. (I'm definitely going to buy that animation artbook vol. 2! *burning aura of determination*)

My addy is chestnutki.com , though I haven't updated it in years. XD

Izu~!!!!!!!!!! *tackleglomps and reverts to total n00bosity* I just got the fanbook today! (My friend's mom, though, is apparently suspicious as to what her doings were after seeing that in the mail. I feel bad now. ^^;;) I'll do my best to see what I can do with translating, nyo. Though my hiragana/katakana skills are close to a moot point. @_@;; *sets about to doing it the old-fashioned way with a notepad and a dictionary*

Aww, Office Love is down? I'm very sorry to hear that. However, being in the same Geocities boat as you, I can't help any. ><;;

(Nyo, does anyone know why the Riza fanlisting has been down for so long? @_@)

And I echo everyone when I say that I've wanted that Royai pillow since sighting it on fm_alchemist. T_T (AND that military poster. Someone must turn that one into a desktop wallpaper. O_O)

thanks for your concerns, everyone... Bryantq has fixed my log in... HURRAY! Hehe, time to revive it...

anyway, yeah, riza's fanlisting seems to be down, but I found this fanlisting instead w/c, I think, is much better:

Touchstone: ROYAI Fanlisting

I hope Office Love reserects soon!!!!!!! IT TOTALY ROCKED!!!!!!!!

ahahahahaha.

"OMG FGHSKJ#$SNK%^!!!!11one!! Married!!!! ; -- ;
Can you see Roy blushing a little? >__<
Thank you annonymous fan! Thank you!!! (This is also from NewType...there is a saying that the anime FMA announced that they officially set Roy and Riza as couples...)" --Nyu

wedding omg canon aaaahhhh. if that really is official art......GAH. XD XD XD *crumples into fangirly mess on floor*

That is one of the cutest fanarts I think I've ever seen. =3

~Merc

*nosebleed* They're both blushing!! <3 That is a gorgeous piece of work.

Viki: Yes, I've seen Touchstone- in fact, nearly all of the fanlistings that are part of the uchiha network are just spectacular. The webmistress there has outdone herself. (She also runs the IchigoXRukia fanlisting!! Okay, I'll shut up now. X3)

-flounces off to attempt to write more Riza drabbleage, no themes involved-

waaaah... I wonder w/c newtype issue that was! I'll look for it and buy it ASAP. If this is true, then my day has just been made.

After watching Last Exile where there was another ala royxriza couple except w/ a bad ending... i felt depressed... since they really were like the more serious version of roy and riza only with more issues and I hated what happened in the end!

Now I'm starting to feel quesy... i hope they don't do the same thing to our favorite couple. Then I'd really start killing some people!

Uh.. I wish I could get hold that NewType issue.. but I can't..
Anyway since that pic certainly looks official.. that means something.. and I could very well imagine the anime "stating the obvious"..
Hmm..from the manga that still continues. I'm having high hopes concerning that!

Yeah.. they both seem to be blushing.. what does that text under the picture say!!!!?

which newtype issue stated that roy and riza is a offical couple?

I'm curious as well where this information about them stating that they're making them a couple comes from. I don't believe it's stated in Newtype.

~Merc

the text reads as follows:

the first three characters i am not familiar with... the first one is hei, but the other two i am not familiar with. after that, 涼風 つばき is a name...suzukaze tsubaki... but i am not sure who that is...? the first three characters may also be a name, but i'm not quite sure how it is read. i suck at reading kanji...

"Taisa mo [nani?]oto/nari/ne no sametoki ♥ Kono hi ga kuru to ii yo ne."

nnngh, i looked in every kanji dictionary i have, but i could not find that 4th character ANYWHERE. if anyone knows kanji (even chinese) and can perhaps tell me what it *means* i might be able to figure it out, but i was at a loss for that one radical... u__u the 5th character means sound, and depending on what the one before it is, it could be pronounced any of those ways listed above between slashes... gah, i suck at kanji...

anyway, even without that character, the idea is something along the lines of: [taisa's having taken part in...whatever that missing character has to do with (i assume something about getting married...)] ♥ Won't it be great when that day comes...?"

sorry...i wish i could be more specific...but i can't figure out that one character. anybody know it?? >_<

(it's tsubasa, not tsubaki)

the fourth character? it's "year," like nen, toshi.

*squints* was it tsubasa? O_o *takes off her glasses* i must need new ones, i coulda sword that was a ki... but i don't know any suzukaze tsubaSA, either... O_o

and thank you! i could NOT find that character anywhere! *feels stupid* this is the problem with teaching yourself japanese... you may get the hang of harder stuff...harder characters or difficult phrases...but learning basic kanji on your own is tough... ;__;

but that doesn't make much sense...does it? ninja? year-sound? toshi...oto? i don't know that that's a word...? *doesn't get it*

but that's not the kanji for oto this is: 音

*eats her glasses and goes off to get a new prescription*

then what praytell is the word there?

jeez...i try and help out and i just end up making myself out to be a myopic idiot... *sigh*

i'm a myopic idiot too i had to pull my glasses down to the tip of my nose and peer over them to read the kanji (with my face about an inch away from the screen ) but no, you did help out

Can't you just zoom in on the picture?

hurray for not being able to see!

so perhaps between the two of us our eyesight is good enough to figure out what the hell it says... ~____~

@quis: yes, but it makes it blurry... u__u adds to the myopic problem... *squints some more*

Ohh, I see. No pun intended.

well, at least ONE of us can... *flail-suru*


EDIT: ninja, is it 'nengu'? i can't quite figure it out... nengu doesn' make much sense either... O_o *flails*

We could open the champange and throw a party if they did!!!!! XDDDDD

Thanks for trying to translate! It's more than I could ever do
That's very interesting.. "Won't it be great when that day comes"
Which means it's coming! At least I hope.

Wow... If Roy and Riza really were getting married... Dude... I'll cry tears of joy! =^^= Yay RoyxRiza!!!

hmm, it says "konna hi ga kuru to ii yo ne," which i guess could also be translated as "won't it be great if that day comes," but i prefer "when" of course. of course.

WOOHOO! I FOUND IT! I FOUND A THREAD BASSED ON RxR! WOW!
.....................whoa.............so many pics.................gaaaah.......
ok um...im kinda...new...and im a fan of this whole rxr thing, so like yer...

YAY! BLACK HAYATE, FAN TOO!!!

thanks guys for the translation... somewhat. hehe, we'll all be waiting for THAT DAY to come. hmm... maybe in the movie, since it's supposed to be 2 years after ep 51, they'll already be married ^^ wishful thinking.

Did I only dream about replying to this thread last night? o.O

Some posts were deleted if they were posted after a certain hour, due to the latest server move.

*squees over news that RoyRiza may become canon!!* =DD
*cough* Woo happiness~ So, has it been confirmed? Someone get a scan ASAP! Oh, I so wish I could read Kanji, mais non, only hiragana and katakana for me.
*waiting for EdWinry to become canon*

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! CANNON ROY RIZA!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDD I WANNA SEE THE MARRIAGE!!!!!!!!!!! But it is cannon!!!! (sort of)

*blinks*

*blown over by the level of fangirling that has assaulted the forums since I last visited...not as if it wasn't high already* Yay. XD

Nyo, it would be great if Roy/Riza was made official...*clings to the manga*

Gyahh! I wrote a Rizadrabble but I am not satisfied with it at all. *grumbles*

-continuing to dissect fanbook and learning hiragana slowly X_x-

I believe RxR is canon, but yes, it would be teriffic if we could get official confirmation on that.

I think that would be the day we all would be whistling a happy tune.

~Merc

this is a dumb question, but what is canon.

Ah...thank you Quistis, that could explain it....


Anyway, what I basically said was that the wedding pic, while lovely, is almost undoubtedly fanart. Main basis for this being the style...Roy is more of the manga style whereas Riza's leaning a bit towards anime. Also, Arakawa's coloring style doesn't vary much, and this is rather different from the usual.

Newtype prints fanart all the time, which pretty much clinches it. It's a gorgeous pic, and maybe Royai really has been pronounced canon for sure among the Japanese community (I certainly believe they're canon)...but the pic still isn't official artwork. Sorry to burst any bubbles.

canon. adj/n

of or pertaining to the original storyline of a work of literature/cinema/animation/etc. a secondary image or storyline that may or may not have been included in the original, but would not change the overall effect if it had been.

so what we have been debating (and have now come to a verdict upon... T_T) was whether or not the image was canon...in that it was arakawa-sensei's work or directly derived therefrom.
