Less shippy?

[rinfang]

I just watched a bit of FMA:B over my brother's shoulder (I am still waaaay behind), and is it just me, or are they cutting out a lot of the shippy bits?

What is it about FMA:B that fails to suck me in like the first anime and the manga did? I've only watched episodes 1-4 and then bits of the rest and I'm not in a big hurry to catch up. What gives

LOL ... well they pretty much cut out a majority of what we know BUT still tell the basic storyline ... also remember this IS the mangaverse so yeah it is alot different and Ep 15 brings in Ling.

When I spoke with Travis (Roy), Wendy (Envy) at a con in May they confirmed coming back as the English VA's and how they love the darkness of it and none of them have read the manga and are catching it via subs on Funimation's site ... yeah it is VERY dark and very interesting ... but you'll see I adore FMA in every shape and form ... ^^;

Not everyone like the new anime, yes I will admit it didn't GRAB me like the first one sucked me in just by seeing previews back in what 2003??? ... but I am enjoying it all the same ^^

... so does that mean Vic is still going to be Ed? That's... really disappointing. I was hoping they'd find someone knew so Ed wouldn't sound like a thirty-year-old man. Plus, I strongly dislike Vic. I met him at a con once, and he was really condescending and just totally hit my 'douchebage' button.

Of course, I loved Travis and- agh, what's Hohenheim's VA's name? I love him. He's great.

FMA is the best!!! It is the only series ever that I have loved both the anime and manga equally. I just don't get my lack of excitement at this new one. I mean, it's FMA!!! Hm, maybe it will be different once Olivia shows up.

LOL ... ok I will tell you what I know

You should tell me what you think of Vic, when you meet him. The time I talked to him really put me off, and I have strongly disliked him ever since. The crap thing about disliking him is it ruined my love for the English dub, since every time I heard Ed it made me think of Vic. I am hoping he's not really a douchebag, so if he does do Ed's voice again it won't bug me so much.

Vic's Rangers are really, very scary :(

That's awesome that you're an actress. I know absolutely nothing about acting or theater. My brother's girlfriend used to do costumes and props and all that for movie sets, but the most contact I've had with anything theater related was I used to volunteer to help clean up/restore old theaters.

Oh I most definitely will ... trust me I get vibes good and bad really easy and fast, lol! Oh yeah dem rangers are fucking scary I tell ya! Seriously! I can't give an honest opnion about him till I meet him tho but I know SEVERAL vendors who have met him and other FMA fans that don't care for the guy.

Yep been acting for over, geez I figured it out the other day, 27 years? Something like that. I have done videos back when MTV was big in the 80's, voice over work in commercials and movie extras but my favorite is theatre. I only don't cosplay cause I've done SO MUCH theatre that it doesn't interest me right now. Also I used to work for Anne Rice and did the "cosplaying" of her characters when I gave tours of her homes here in New Orleans ...

That's so awesome <3

I love going to the theater. I don't even care what play is it usually, if I have spare cash I always go. There's just something about watching a story play out on stage that you don't get from movies. Like, with movies you can watch the story with awesome special effects and all that, but with theater each time a play is performed is unique.

Exactly why as an actor I prefer the stage you see the appreciation of your work right then and there. ^^;
