OVA is called「鋼の錬金術師(Fullmetal Alchemist) PREMIUM COLLECTION」
The linked sites say the settings of the main story is that somehow all of 7 homuncli are back together, even Greed, and the fight between them and Mustang and the military bunch, Ed & Al, and all the good guys ensues...
It includes lots of gag scenes, new ones and famous old scenes, like "useless" scene with Mustang, etc., and of course many outrageous battle scenes...
Plus, 3 possible new short stories.
It's 3990 Japanese yen, and coming out on March 29 in Japan.

From the looks of it, I think it is some kind of omake eps.

Well, there was a time period during which all seven were around during the happening of the series. It could just be an in-between story they didn't cover in the series.

I just saw the scan of magazine with more info on the ova on the "Casual Clothes" thread ( I just posted there and asked
karasu to post the info and the magazine scan here also.)
And, according to that magazin scan (seems it's a Japanese magazine, and in Japanese,) the main story, "7 Homunculi vs the Military" or whatever, was the special shown at Universal Studio-Japan during early summer last year.
Also, one of the short story (new) is with "chibi" versions of FMA characters, at the party for the FMA movie.

It has the USJ picture and 3 short stories.
A real picture part. (I can't translate it so well. Non anime? But It must be animation....)
A banquet part. (by SD characters)
Children part.

More likely. If this is the magazine just came out in Japan, which I think is the case, then this is probably "February" issue, which is bound to contain "Valentine's Day" stuff, and, although/(if) this was in the same magazine that reported about the FMA ova, this pic is probably nothing to do with FMA ova, and more likely it's there as a reader service, and I agree with
Reika that the pic looks to me as "Roy and Ed give you this for you on valentine day!!"
Whatever it is, I love the pic!!

the OVA looks awesome, complete with even the useless scene
but i have a lingering question...

um...*confused* ... if greed, lust and pride are back, and if hughes is seen, and if this is not after the series ended, since then how could dante possibly be back -
could that mean that this really is mid-series and that this could be before hughes died? - then hopefully he could actually be included in the OVA? --
*is getting really antsy in anticipation right now*
i'd love to see him again, he was awesome in the series...

I don't think it's mid-series. I think it's characters-got-together-for-no-apparent reason. (If anyone's seen the Fushigi Yuugi bus omake that was made with the OAV's it has about the same effect.)

Ahaha, this is probably the best news I've had in a long time.
I was just wondering, does anyone know if OAV is going to be subbed? I was planning on buying it at amazon.jp. I just got my (premium) FMA: Conqueror of Sham. from there (lol, I love it), and it is subtitled, but what about this OAV?
If anyone can find out, I would LOVE you.
Hehe, and if anyone finds the japanese link on amazon.jp, could you post it? It took me awhile to find the FMA movie...
Orrrrrr, I could just wait for the fansubs.

Ooooo....Never mind about the link, I found it (I think).
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...7720746-4135434Will someone who can read Japanese tell us if there are English subs (and if this actually is the OAV, hehe)?

Lol, it's just a random anime girl I created, and because she is CHIBI she does not have real hands (and I totally suck at drawing hands).
So...If you look closer, she's actually putting her hand on her hip.

The OVA coming out on March 29th is NOT, I repeat NOT going to be subtitled like Conq. of Sham. was.
I CANNOT believe I am going to have to find it on the net after waiting like a bajillion years for someone to fansub it *cries*

I don't think it's Conqueror of Shambala that there will be deleted scenes for. It's the Alchemists vs... thing that was screened in Japan. They keep referring to it as a "movie" even though it ain't. I thought the same thing at first, deleted scenes to the actual MOVIE. I found it on a pre-order site though and it's the deleted scenes for the OVA that was screened.
See, here's the site. I suppose it could be mistaken, they've got the release year wrong (05 instead of 06). Also, the last time I looked it said it'd be 40 minutes long and now that's gone as well.

Feb 20 2006, 03:41 PM
Don't think anyone knows that yet. Personally I doubt before the movie hits America first. Although I could see it being released here before if there's no material in the OAV related to the movie. If there is, I doubt Funimation or whoever gets distribution rights in North America will release it before the movie here.
Jedi28
Feb 20 2006, 06:41 PM
Last I heard, Funimation hasn't even licensed the movie yet or gotten started on the dub. They'll probably do it soon, but it goes to show how long it takes. At least we'll be able to find out about it online I suppose.

Feb 28 2006, 01:04 PM
I hate to bring potentially bad news, but did anyone note the DVD length at CDJapan? It's only 40 minutes long - if it includes the Universal Japan film and three "episodes" otherwise, that's only 10 minutes a segment. Glad to have a little more FMA but it DOES seem a little shameless to put out something so...minimal. Not that I won't buy it, but it's still a bummer...
