Madman Ent. to stream Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood within days of Japan

"The Australian media distributor Madman Entertainment has announced that it will simulcast the premiere episode of the new Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood television anime at next weekend's Supernova: Brisbane convention. Voice actor and Supernova guest Vic Mignogna will serve as the presenter when the convention screens the first episode of the new anime at the same time it airs in Japan — 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 5. Like the first Fullmetal Alchemist television series, the new anime adapts Hiromu Arakawa's original dark fantasy manga.

Madman's official website will then stream each Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood episode a couple of days after its Japanese airing. The episodes will be in Japanese with English subtitles and will remain on the website until further notice. Animax-asia is televising each episode within six days of its Japanese airing in Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and South Asia.

Madman made its Fullmetal Alchemist announcements at its Sunday panel at this past weekend's Supernova: Melbourne convention. It also acquired the Australian rights to release the 5 Centimeters Per Second, Gurren Lagann, and Rozen Maiden anime. "

I have no good feelings about Madman right at this point in time. This doesn't exactly excite me.

Hey, Madman Entertainment, I have an idea: how about a local streaming service that covers the entire catalogue of shows each season, rather than cherry-pick rehashed banality.

Bitter? Me? Much?

Yeah, thanks Sly. Brand-spanking new show announcements my ar$e.

Sounds like someone doesn't like madman....now you're just like the rest of us

...and you wonder why I import...

Considering it's Madman, 1 out of 3 ain't bad.

I'm going through Madman Entertainment's catalogue of most recent releases and upcoming releases, and all I can say is: what a cavalcade of utter mediocrity. That one can describe Claymore and Darker Than Black as the most interesting recent items says all that needs to be said!

ZETSUBOU DAAAA!

Once again, Madman put forth their capable resources and come up utterly short. Fail more, please.

I'm sure they won't release the sub-only TTGL boxset either.

Imagine how the Yanks would react if that happened. They're the major advocates for dubs, anyway.

They won't.
