Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Brotherhood

[octopus]

Why watch them now? Eclipse subs came out last night.

[Caiyuo]

Speaking of eclipse, why is their site on speedsubs down now? Did they move somewhere else again?

Never found it to be down anytime recently and I was checking daily while waiting for the new episode. Fluke?

[AoE]

Their torrent site is down for me too. If their sub is up though then I'll look elsewhere.

[octopus]

You can go on irc and grab it from their channel too.

Dunno, it's been down all last week for me. Not sure what would have changed.

Is this link still correct? http://eclipse.speedsub.org/

Huh, thanks. Wonder how my bookmark managed to flub that one up.

Full Metal Alchemist Ratings Collapse

Mustachio anime Full Metal Alchemist’s remake has attracted much unwelcome attention with the release of TV ratings which show a collapse in ratings, especially compared to the much loved but totally divergent original:

http://a.imagehost.org/0433/fma-ratings-collapse.jpg

The original maintained an average of 6% throughout its 50 episodes. The remake on the other hand manages an average of a mere 3.3%, and falling fast, less than half way through.

There are rumours of the show being moved to a more favorable time slot, not that there is any real indication that this would rescue it…

That's pretty messed up, considering I'm enjoying Brotherhood way more than the original series. : /

[Gulkeeva]

I hope it lasts till the "really good parts" because its pretty awesome later on, much more epic battles then the first series I think

[Hitoshura]

Wow I thought FMA was huge in Japan? Do they not like the whole Fuhrer thing or something? lawl

[octopus]

The timeslot of Brotherhood is just one hour earlier than the timeslot of the previous series so I don't know if it will actually make a difference.

One thing of note is that the original series was the highest rated anime in that timeslot of the station's history (TBS/MBS), and that it was shown after Gundam Seed completed so some viewership might have transferred over...

[Sumiko]

aw, that is sad news. Maybe it's because they had to start over all the way from the beginning? So people just ended up not wanting to rewatch the first 11 episodes...

[ZarakiKujata]

Is Japan's rating system as much bs as the Nielsen ratings are in the US?

[arus2001]

Is it airing at 5:30pm on a Saturday? That doesn't seem much better than Friday night like Fox pulled for stuff like Terminator and Dollhouse. When do the JPs typically eat dinner? Don't they do Saturday schooling and presumably related activities like sports, too?

5pm Sundays.

Sure didn't have a problem with ratings for Gundam 00, just saying ;o

Also, I've read the ratings for FMA Brotherhood a few weeks ago, pretty sure the problem only exists in the Kantou region. The ratings are fine for Kansai.

[arus2001]

Well, whatever. Ratings are stupid.

[Hitoshura]

Seriously, shit like CSI: Miami always sweeping the world when Lost is really the best show evar.

[The_OG_Nelta]

Its probably cause its predictable or something along those lines, no?
