Re: Full Metal Alchemist

I actually just started reading th FMA manga a few days ago. I'm on volume 3, I think. I've seen all of the anime, though.

I would like to see FMA here, though. I think it's a great series ^^

If you can scanlate or translate you can help. Also if you know any translators who you think would really like to transalte some FMA, then PM them or get them over here. Same for Manga Editors.

I saw all the anime too. Very different from the manga, but I still like the way they did things. I personally prefer the manga though. Keep reading LadyHatake, it gets even better.

:sigh. At the moment there don't seem to be any offers on translators or Manga Editors.
But I will not give up hope.

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

I'm starting to enjoy Kimblee's role more and more currently ( just wanted to write that down somewhere ). I like him better then i did when watching the anime...

Dunno why there isnt a thread for this yet, as it is by far the best series out there imo XD
Fullmetal Alchemist has so much fans... but there's only one group doing it? And this thread is basically all we have... Good luck finding a translator, glasskatana~!!

Has anyone asked ZOMGFTA if they'd consider posting their releases here yet?

About that, you’re welcome to try, but I doubt it…

I remember some of the fans asking them to work with Shannaro, but they refused ( understatement) !!! Even one of the staff from Shannaro asked if they could use their trans or something, and explained exactly what Shannaro does ( HQ releases!!! ) they said they work alone… So…

no, you can always voice your support on this thread. The more people who want it, the more likely it is to become a seperate section.

Yeah, I remember the thread there. They want to work alone and they have their own community, that's ok. I like their work and I can wait a few days or longer if they can't find enough time - like last month. So I think a second group is not really necessary, but I also like to read different translations if possible.

I'll also support this thread. Maybe more people will join :D

Seeing as their releases are of a really decent quality it's not that a second group is a really urgent need, but if we could get translators and Manga Editors for speedy scans here, we could grow a section here, which would be awesome (and very much deserved of this manga) and maybe even hope for a very leet hq group to start working on it? :nuts

*continues daydreaming*

Exactly. My computer is filled with their Edited Mangas, but it's always good to have other translations available. Plus, though they do make great translations, their scans are probably at MQ level since they aren't cleaned with the efficiency of say, shannaro of Japflap, or any of our other scan teams who can manage to turn cam-shots into MQ scans. :)

Translators and Manga Editors are desperately needed. If we can get just a couple who are willing to do it, that would be great.

so go out there, my fullmetal minions, go out there and start getting translators and Manga Editors to work on FMA.

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

Yes, they do the work… And yes their releases are somesort of a MQ! And Shannaro didi want to do it well… Shannaro style!!! HQ all the way…

But gk you should know…FMA has a sh*t load of gray areas… And the style is quite different than Naruto. Sometimes it’s quite simple, but the drawings can get pretty darn hard to do…I haven’t seen the raws, but as these girls ( or the one that’s doing the Edited Manga ) do relatively good work in producing a solid MQ, I think it’s raws are not ultra LQ… They also said they object to redrawing and cleaning gray or black areas ‘cause they don’t want to “spoil” the original art!?!!

So, what I’m saying is: you will need a couple of extra good scanlatiors for this!!! And I mean Shannaro or Inane style… And that’s way below my level or even anyone I know!!!

Sorry for the negativity, I’d really like to help, and wish you good luck but it will be hard to organize this….

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

a question for all you mods out there. Would it be allright to start a poll somewhere of whether or not people would like to see FMA turned into a seperate section here at MH? I don't know why, but I feel if it was made more obvious that many people would enjoy it, more translators/Manga Editors would be willing to at least give it a shot.

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

No need for a poll, get people to discuss in this thread and get trans- or Edited Mangas on a monthly basis here is what should feed a section. No matter how cool a manga is, if there's nothing to post a new section is useless. (imo)

k, thanks for the response. That's why I asked. :amuse[br]Posted on: August 12, 2006, 12:39:24 AM_________________________________________________O.K., I'm going to try something very brave here. I'm personally going to email umeko (zomgfta) and ask her if she would be willing to post her Edited Mangas on this forum, or have one of us post it here with Credit going COMPLETELY to her and her partner. This is my rough draft for the email. I want it to be good, so I need some help.

Dear Umeko,
I have emailed you to ask you something. But first a little background.

I am a member on a certain forum that handles a lot of great manga. FMA is one of my personal favorites and I asked the forum leaders if it would be alright to devote a section to it. They said it would be fine, as long as I could find people willing to translate and scanlate manga. So here I am.

I'm not asking you to change the way you scan at all, and if you decline, I will understand (and make sure if the section ever does come into existance that your scans and trans are not used by other people). All I'm asking is if you would be willing to post your scans in the forum. Or if it would be alright for me to post your scans (in case you don't have time to do it yourself) in the forum while giving ALL THE CREDIT to you and your partner. Your translations would not be used by anyone else. Whether you decline or accept, please return this email. Your scans would greatly help the forum grow and I'm hoping you will accept my offer.

Sincerely,
A devoted fan, glasskatana.
So how does it sound?

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

Somehow I doubt they'd do that. They keep their downloads of FMA "somewhat" hidden on their site and they strongly insist everyone buys all the volumes.

+ you kinda make it sound you want them to post here so people can download (you didnt say that, but one might get that impression)
if you do mail them, make sure you emphasize the fact it's just to "make the community grow larger" etc...

hmmm, agreed. Time to make some changes.

All I'm trying to do is help my manga community grow larger, and this is one way you could help. And it would be a GREAT help. I'm not asking you to change the way you scan at all, and if you decline, I will understand (and make sure if the section ever does come into existance that your scans and trans are not used by other people). Also, it would be told that your scans are NOT to be used simply as replacements for the volumes and purchasing the actual manga would be strongly encouraged. (Links to VIZ, Stores that stock the volumes, etc.) All I'm asking is if you would be willing to post your scans in the forum. Or if it would be alright for me to post your scans (in case you don't have time to do it yourself or you simply don't want to) in the forum while giving ALL THE CREDIT to you and your partner.

A little better. I myself am doubtful of whether they would agree. And for a section to exist we'd still need at least our own translators. Still, this would be helpful. Thoughts?[br]Posted on: August 12, 2006, 01:08:56 AM_________________________________________________Well, your thoughts are too late, as I already sent the request to umeko. Oh yeah, chapter 62 is complete. http://www.sendspace.com/file/yyocu2
I'm thinking of reviewing FMA chapters as they come out in the manga scrapbooks. Much like Gold Knight reviews Naruto in his 10 comments section. If you haven't seen his reviews before you should really read them. Anyway, if I were to review the chapters, would you guys even read the review?

no, and I did that on purpose, I no longer remember the purpose, but rest assured, there was originally a purpose. It was something along the lines that if for some reason they ended up hating me for emailing them I wouldn't want them to post some anit-mangahelper thing on their website. Also, I didn't really think there was a need. They have yet to get back to me so I'm assuming she's
1.) busy
2.) ignoring me

No matter. I've already gotten at least 1 Edited Manga team (I'm not going to tell who, that's a secret) and I have a Edited Manga team that says maybe. Now all I need is one or two translators (or 10... the more the merrier.)

Well, if Khal would read my reviews then it's definitely worth it. TIME TO WRITE SOME REVIEWS!!!
