It felt strange seeing Rose without her tan.

Yeah. Though technically still the proper tones.

Even in the manga her and Ed's tone were exactly the same.

I hardly notice it. I don't notice race, unless I'm making racial jokes. XD

Well, it may be the original color, but now it's a case where an improvisation by the art staff actually made a character design look better than the intended version. The multi-colored hair just doesn't look at good on White Rose.

Not so much with her now being white as it is that her hair's no longer pink.

As if we didn't know this was going to happen...

AS is showing FMA:B starting in about a week.

Did they say how many episodes FMA:B is going to run? We're already at 42 and two OVAs.

Not that I'm complaining mind you ...

Well, it's bound to catch up with the manga eventually, unless the manga actually ends. Probably wont be an official end until either of those events happen though.

...and the dub has aired. This is, quite frankly, probably the fastest turnaround for a dub I've ever seen that wasn't planned for a "simultaneous release."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1YTwwKML0Y

Sadly, it just sounds... off somehow. Many of the voices return, including Vic as Edward, which is great. But Al's original voice kinda can't return as puberty hit him with the entire "puberty tree" rather than a few branches. Supposedly, he has a special role in Brotherhood, but we'll have to see what that is.



................maybe he's Ling?



Anyway, for some reason, the dub doesn't sound quite as good. Like it's been rushed pretty badly.

...and I wouldn't be shocked if FMA ended soon, considering the recent events in chapter 104. It'll be a little hard to status quo some of it away...

How far behind the manga is Brotherhood right now anyway?

Yanno, I've no idea. I'm about 11 episodes behind, myself at the moment. I figure they're catching up at a pretty good pace, considering the complete lack of filler (outside the first episode) so far, though.

The last plot point was Marcoh destroying/capturing Envy.

Then there are still about 25 chapters of manga unused.

And while it's certainly still going to take a while, the manga looks like it's heading towards it's end, what with the last few chapters, especially the last one released.

Hmm. The dub is... weird. They really clearly cast characters in exactly the same way they did in the first show, even though the characters are different. (Very obvious with Kimbley)

Indeed. It is rather odd...


And from what I can tell, episode 44 (the most recent episode I can find subbed by the group I prefer) pretty much has chapters 81/82 contained within. So we're pretty damned close to catching up with the manga.
That said, with the manga itself seemingly only chapters away from ending...

Yeah, I found Al's voice a little too young. Interested to hear the rest of the cast though.

Maxey does make Al sound a bit too young but that's kinda what the VA director indirectly wants from her. He wants her to sound like Aaron did but not to mimic him.

Just watched the ep with Rose in the dub.

I heard Al is different, but he sounds the same..

and anyway, I think i'll start watching the dub. I actually stopped watching the subs around the time Ran Fan showed up.

That's hilarious, because isn't there where the vast majority of the new material comes into play? Where you stopped watching, that is.

Work kept me busy to the point where I just couldn't be bothered, I planned on finishing eventually but the dub came sooner than expected.

Plus, I had spent alot of time reading the manga at that point so I thought waiting would make it more exciting to see in motion.

Al definitely sounds different, similar type of voice but still different.
