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

Scott McNeil is Hoenheim's VA and yes he will be returning even if they patch his voice in from Canada ^^ ... I know Scott pretty well, I met him about 3 years ago and then again saw him recently at LouisiANIME and he remembered me and we hung out. He's such a sweetheart and will always be my #1 VA.

At the FMA Panel Travis (Roy), Wendy (Envy), Scott (Hoenheim) and Kyle (Falman) all said they were reprising their roles from the original anime. The ONLY person that MOST LIKELY would NOT reprise their role is Aaron (Alphonse) cause his voice is TOO deep and although he MAY NOT be Al, he WOULD be someone else in the anime cause there are many new and different characters.

Now as far as Vic, I have NEVER met the guy and I hear good and bad about him. Personally I will find that out on July 24 when I actually meet him at Mechacon. I buy a GoldPass which means VIP treatment so I have a private meet and greet with the VA's and signings, etc.

I have been asked by several Vic fans to get him to confirm if he WILL be Ed or not, he won't say anything supposedly. Now since you are a new friend I will tell you that I am an actress on the stage and HAVE done voice work and I have no shame, seriously. I just go up to the VA's and talk to them normally and don't OMG to them, hell they are just like us.

In all honesty I can't see him NOT being Ed and miss out on all that money? His rabid fangirl rangers scare the fuck out of me cause they treat him like a god or something and I WILL tell him that :P.

I only met one VA that was a really bastard and that was Mike McFarland (Havoc) and I've heard that he is really nice well so far I haven't had a second opportunity to meet the man to be proven wrong. See you pop an attitude I will giver you a death glare and walk away! I am also the same age as Vic so he better not pop an attitude with me, lol!

Actually I think his BEST work is Ed, seriously, I heard him in Bleach and Saiyuki and I really like him as Ed cause I actually thought he sounded very young, lol!

I do extensive con reports so you'll find out first hand when I post each night from the con on my lappie! ^^

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. ^^;
