A Great Lot of Fangirling

[kristensk]

Ah, so much fangirl squealing to be had!

Firstly, in completely squee-worthy news, I received a great big package of Free Comic Book Day comics from jordannamorgan! *dances* Thank you so much! I missed the day itself, but I had really wanted to see that Darkwing Duck comic they were offering. Of course, now that I have... I want that next issue.

Then, there's a new, full-length trailer out for the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist movie (click the "streaming" link). It's got a lot of nice action sequences, though I'm not picking up too many plot details from it. Also, Funimation has announced information on the US release. Since jordannamorgan had asked: they're hoping to have it in theaters in early 2012 with the DVD release to follow in the spring.

Also, though I'm late in mentioning it, a new Rurouni Kenshin animated project has been announced. No word yet on exactly what it will be, but I'd like to join the people hoping to finally see the Revenge/Jinchu arc fully animated!

Lastly, seekersks and I are once more attending Otakon in July. Though, given the jump in the price of registration, I'm not sure about next year. Yikes!

As I said in my last fangirl flailing post, I want the revenge arc AND the battousai arc. It's only fair so we can an insight as to why there IS a revenge arc. ;)

Either way, I'm excited!

I thought the flashback was *part* of the revenge arc? None of it's in the existing TV series, just the OVA's that I avoided thanks to your warnings.

It's been years since I've seen it, but I think there's a lot more than what the flashback let on... At least, I think it was covered in the OVAs, which I still haven't seen.

Now I need a Kenshin icon.

But, I mean, I thought the manga included a big flashback to Kenshin's past with the revenge arc. Or does a flashback happen sooner? I know we got some little pieces during the Kyoto arc....

It did. It just wasn't added to the series, I don't think. After the Shishio arc I lost track of where the series was going and all I knew is that it went to filler.

I thiiiink there was a huge arc focusing on Sanosuke, too, that wasn't in the series? Or was it and I'm getting my mediums mixed up? Gah, I have to go back to my manga copies and check.

Eh heh... I still haven't read the manga, so I don't know. (Need to do that. One more to collect!) But, yeah, after the Kyoto/Shishio arc, the TV series went into filler. It was good filler, in my opinion, but I guess it didn't go over so well with everyone else and led to the series' cancellation.

*squee* Thanks for the release info! *scurries to check out the trailer*

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy the trailer! The only new information I'm getting is that it seems our escaped alchemist, Melvin, isn't in league with the wolfman... that or they have a falling out over the course of the movie.
