Just an FYI a new season of Full Metal Alchemist started today, this one follows the manga, unlike the original which deviated around episode 22 or so.

The new one is basically a total remake, which follows the manga exactly, so yeah, give it a go. :)

Should be tons of fan-sub groups out there nabbing it.

Speaking of remakes, Dragon Ball Kai is also premiering today, which is a high def rebroadcast of DBZ, with a lot less filler, new sound effects, the original cast came back and redid their voices and other groovy stuff.

Edit: Just watched the raw for DBZ Kai.

The audio in general is much much improved.

Editing seems to be to the point, most of the filter garbage isn't present, and the episode ends with Raditz arriving and smacking Krillian across the face.

The new Intro/Outro while good and catchy seem a bit out of place, since they use like animation from this era, which is extra crisp and amazing looking while the show itself is using the animation from the 80s heh. DBZ never looked BAD mind you, like a Speed Racer episode, but when you see the intro/outro you kinda wish they had just gone ahead and reanimated the entire series.

It's also a bit edited, the farmer for example doesn't actually get shot and killed, it pops his gun instead, which is ironic because it's something the US version did when it first aired over here, go figure. :P

I couldn't care less about DBZ, but let me know where you find a decent sub for FMA.

Not sure when it comes out, but they do the best Naruto one right now so i'm hoping it'll be good. There may be a couple days delay, though

I pulled the episode from the torrent Eric linked, not the site you did Zeus (unless they're one in the same?) but thanks anyway ;)

Taka takes a bit of time with their subs. They're not speed subbers, it usually takes them a couple of days depending on the availability of the RAW. The double Naruto episode took over a week and we're still waiting on the one from last Friday due to RAW source issues. They're better quality than a lot of others so I don't mind waiting a bit

It wasn't anything against that website... it was just that Eric posted the direct torrent link which just made it too convenient to turn down. Sub quality seemed fine to me too
