yeah I had heard they might show the movie in theaters. Though I doubt it will make it to mine since it is so small and they don't tend to show anime movies there.

From Toon Zone:

@aviazn - Once again, Thanks for keeping us updated with new info!!

So, the newest releasae date is Sept. 26, and, seems no theater release, right??
(I still think Oct. 3rd would have been nice. )

Aww, so no theater?

Well, I honestly have no idea, I just type "fullmetal alchemist" into Google News everyday and see what comes up, lol. I think the source of the ToonZone story was just a general announcement of future Funi DVD releases, so I don't think there's been a specific confirmation or denial on a theatre run so far...

I liked Oct. 3 better too, lol...

Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!!! We all know that the internet is often filled with rumours and lies, right? Well, according to a fairly recent issue of Anime Insider, the set release date is October 3, 2006; it was designed that way to go with the engraving on Ed's pocket-watch! The Funimation website didn't have anything posted about a change - perhaps that "Toon" website just had it's information wrong - anyhow, they said from the beginning that there probably would not be a theatrical release... and think about it - there's going to be 13 DVDs total, and they said that the last one would be released the same day as the movie's DVD - one DVD of the series every other month. Next one is coming out in June - number 10. Now count with me: #10 in June, skip July, #11 in August, skip September, and then, lo and behold, #13 in October. Basically, this "Toon" website is bunk. Someone find this for me on the official Funimation site, then I'll believe you!

September 23rd, or somtime in September, Vic told me himself.

Well, ToonZone's source was AnimeOnDvd, and their source was Right Stuf, who currently list Vol. 13 (Brotherhood) and the movie with 9/26 release dates. I couldn't see where they got their info from, but combined with Vic's claim of a September release date, it certainly seems plausible. I don't have any dog in this fight, I just want to know when they're coming out.

Also, the official Funimation FMA site hasn't even been updated to reflect the fact that Vol. 9 is out...

actually if u go to bestbuy.com they giv u the exact dates of the releases to the rest of the volumes and Conqueror of Shamballa

V10 Journey to ishbal june 27
v11 becoming the stone August 1
v12 truth behind truths sept. 5
v13 brotherhood sept. 27
FMA the movie COnqueror of SHamballa Sept. 27

Thats just about whats coming of for anime i dont hav anything on manga

"Grandma? I saw the inside of his watch. It says 'Don't Forgot, Oct. 3'. But...what did you think he was trying to remember?" Winry, episode 17, House of the Waiting Family.

Never forget, Oct. 3rd...

Oh, my gosh, that's so tight! Now I get why people want the date Oct. 3rd so much. I see, I see now. Now I want it, too. But BlackStar, you told me that Vic told you himself, how and how did you get ahold of him? I mean, I'm not gonna go and stalk him when I know but I'm just wondering.

the "dont forget Oct 3" is the dat they burned there house, the day they left everything behind

Confirmation of September 26 release AND that we get the Limited Edition Bonus that Japan receives >:3

#I've been looking all over for confirmed information too. This just landed in my email inbox sometime last night. It was originally posted to the FMA movie board in the FMA forums on the FF.net website:

Hello Everyone!

I got a good scoop on what's going on with the DVD release of the movie.
I was on my wholesaler's web site and they have a pre-order up for it.
There is a normal edition for 29.98 and a special edition for 49.98. The
release date is 9/26/06. According to the information the theater
release is also in September (which conflicts info people have found out
at conventions). Anyone can view the web site.

Here is the direct link
for the page with the Limited Edition information:
http://www.aaaanime.com/dvds.asp?view=item&code=FN08173

How bout... we just wait for it to be announced?

Yup, here it is.

sorry to break it to u but i dont think that they would really put the movie in theaters.

Yeah, second that. An animated film that can't be pitched to kids? No way

Well it may get a limited theater release, it worked for Cowboy Bebop, and a couple other animated films not for the children.

i wanted it oct. 3rd too, so that way it would come out the same day as the open door, but what ever. wikipedia says its sept 26 in select theaters, but i want to buy it so i dont mind either way.

Well, here's the official word--straight from Funimation's site!


http://www1.funimation.com/f_index.cfm?page=news
Definitely good news--now we'll have to see exactly how many theaters they're gonna be able to get it into. Anybody know how wide Funimation's previous theatrical releases have been?

@Melxitm - Don't double post please.

WHOOT! This movie's gonna hit the theaters?? Crap that YGO! Man I'm excited. I have to see this movie in theaters, but I hate the dub though... I can't wait until commercials get to the TV.

I read in anime insider edition #33 that FUNimation is going to release the movie in August, this article is the june release but they didn't say anything about delays to later dates. It would be pretty cool if it did come out on Sept. 16 cause that's MY BIRTHDAY!

Or what aviazn said. Just a couple of days after august.

SWEET!!!! It's FINALLY COMING!!!!! I've been waiting ever since the last episode premiered on Adult Swim. Yay!!! I can't wait!!!!

Yay! I can't wait til it comes out.

Hey votom your siggie is probly way to big, you should change it before you get the "black box of doom."
BTW, welcome to fullmetal-alchemist.com.If you need anything you think I can help you with just ask, and I'll be glad to answer any of your questions.

YAY!!!



makes me so happy!!!!
PS- borrowed the pic of the risembool rangers site

Looks like the movie played at a film festival in Montreal this afternoon. Anyone go see it?

You didn't have to post that up, you know.

Amazon.com has the regular version of the movie being released on the same day as the 13th DVD, September 12th, with the Special edition coming in November sometime. I found the same info on Bestbuy.com. Since that is a Tuesday, the day DVD's are usually released, it makes sense.

Has anyone checked it out here>> http://www.funimationfilms.com/
They have the video and everything for the movie.

ooh, i cant wait for this!!! i watched a badly subbed version....i could hardly make sense of what was written let alone understand what was going on

i just watched ur link for FMACOS, it looks freakin fantastic i cant wait
and for anyone else who cant wait look at fullmetalalchemist01fan's link ull love it if u havent already seen it

Hold on...so it's coming to theaters on the 8th, but you can buy the DVD on the 12th?? I'm so confused...

I just picked up "Becoming the Stone," DVD number 11. In the back of the booklet that came with it, it says the DVD and theater versions will be arriving on September 26th. Disregard my earlier posts regarding Amazon.com.

Wow, I love the American preview for the movie. I have to admit that it looks so much better digitally mastered than watching the boot-legged version on youtube. I'm surprised that it is showing in that many theatres in America. I doubt that it will every show in a theatre where I live.

i wonder why they won't show the movie in theaters everywhere...does anyone have an idea why? and does anyone know the name of that song that those gypsies sing in the beginning of the movie?? or in that clip on http://www.funimationfilms.com/?? its kind of catchy, lol. =]

The song if called Kelas (Let Us Dance). It plays at the beggining of the film where the Roma are singing and at Heiderich's funeral. The song is composed by the Hungarian guitarist Ferenc Snetberger.

Thank you!!!!

Damn I wish I didn't have to wait for it too come out to DVD. But my town is so small, and the only theater we have isn't playing it.


Did you watch it on youtube? I did I think the person who uploaded it used their camquarter.And they got a lot of the translations wrong... it really sucked.

And KG you didn't have to quote it. Now the pic is posted twice.

So, according to FUNimationFilms.com the movie primieres in the U.S., on Friday, August 25th, at 9:30 pm, right??
This is exciting!!

Haha. Yes it is exciting! I can't wait for the movie to come out also! *cough* I think everyone already knows that...teeheeXD But the movie shows on that date AND on Saturday August 26th at 2 pm and 9:30 pm at selected theaters. I WISH THEY WOULD'VE SEND THE MOVIE IN THEATERS IN MICHIGAN!!! *twitch*

dose anyone know where to download it

Limewire

PM me i'll give it to you


ah, i don't know what to believe anymore it'd be nice if it came out on sept.26! it would be closer then Oct.3rd but then if it came out in October it would have meaning but i also got the 11th Volume and it says 26 *shrugs* i'll get it when i see it ^^

ohoh and i must say i loved the movie promo on the Dvd <3333

I can't wait !! I'm really really lucky that the movie is coming out in theaters in the next town. It's really unusual, actually...oO; It doesn't come out in D.C. but in Winchester? Doesn't make sense, but I'm grateful!
Being me I forgot who posted the FUNimation link, but that's awesome. The DVD on Sept. 12...-stashes away money- Anyways.
I couldn't view the trailer, but judging from what's posted is sounds awesome! Can't wait!

Because nobody would go see it in the USA.

ohhhh. thats an idea....a good one. haha. but yeah...darn, they still need to show the movie everywhere in theaters tho. I know the movie is going to be in theaters, I'm just saying in EVERY THEATER OUT THERE. lol. I had to break it down. lol. *sigh* ...espacially in michigan....oh well, poop.

I read that it will be out in theaters

This sucks cuase I don't live in the U.S. so I cant see it in movies... oh well i can buy it on DVD right?Well no I can't. Know why? Becuase the DVD comes out the same day as the movie right? But then there's gonna be a special edition that comes out in November and no way i'm gonna buy both DVD... guess I'll just have to wait for the special edition...

I saw the premiere at Otakon 2006 on Friday... and watched it again on Saturday (with a Roy w/eye patch plush this time).

They said it would be in select theatres at the end of August and come out on DVD in September.

That said... the movie was awesome in English (had already seen it in Japanese) and the audience at Otakon loved it. The premiere group flailed a lot more than the 2nd showing (since I think they were looking forward to Hellsing, or some Naruto thing that they THOUGHT was showing, but it ended up being FMA again instead, HOORAY!). Everyone cheered when certain characters came on-screen, laughed, awed and flailed when Lost Heaven played.

They announced that a special edition WILL be released later, so you may end up better of waiting, or buying both versions. No news on what is on the special version though. FUNimation and Jean Havoc are attempting to get rights to do OVA's in English too.

From the video on the official site the movie is out in thearters the day before my birthday
