NEWS: Funimation Adds The Heroic Legend of Arslan Anime

But nethier of these two are and should not be similar to eachother. I don't want to expect a 2nd half of Arslan to be similar to FMAB when our main characters are dicking around not even trying to run away from anime tom selleck.

Redundency isn't helping. So when I dislike a company that people seem to like yet I gave praise for their glory days before and during 2012, I have a trolling grudge? When I find a houston companies licensing and dubbing practices to be better than what people seem to find but I still give points of flaws in said company, I have to shut up and listening on fans enjoying whats left of their nostalgia dallas D-riding? Thats what I'm getting out of this and I will gladly see a re-word of what you really mean.

Using other people to back up your claim isn't helping. The main character looks like a friggen puppy. Arakawa gives sharp corners of their eyes with flat uper or lower eyelids while having slim or obtuse chins with flat frowns or perky smiles. This and the previews don't look like that.

Re-read my comment, jeez. "about as distant." Similar or close to a specific point. Its to set a point there are just as bad. They could be bad until the final product is presented.

That still leads to covering or brushing up. "And," an, "Or," have comepletely different meanings. The big deal is that they can't include another title, I will pull this complaint if they print something like this on the stupid box.

"From the manga designer of FMA comes the adaptation from the critically acclaimed novelist of The Legend of The Galactic Heroes."

Is that so hard? This still keeps FMA as a cheap recommendation, but fans seeing the novelists title that this was originally done from will entice viewers to google it. Thus leading more fandom for both Arslan, FMA and LOTGH. If Funi doesn't, then it will be the example of how the laziest of marketing is done in squeezing out whats left of a dying title in their library. AOT did'nt meet demands, yet they're picking up Seraph and now trying to milk publicity to try and get more interest back in FMA only. By not even giving a refference to a great novelists work.

You see one authors style, you see them all.[...]

Thats the flaw of designers. Similarity is different from comparison of certain problems a different project had to deal with. Both projects had to deal with bad character designs that don't follow the original and superior work. Arslan on the other hand is being advertised as something done from FMA mangaka and no one else besides just leaving the original creators name with no such effort to put what he has done. Which overtime I think makes sense since his work will kick that bimbo out of the park.

I don't know about you, but I see some overlapping happening here in the genre, type of content and maybe even in reader preferences.

You are entitled to hold an opinion, but so are everyone else. Your definition of "good" doesn't always matches someone else's.

ART

The anime is based on Arakawa Hiromu's interpretation of Tanaka Yoshiki's The Heroic Legend of Arslan.

The original illustrator's, Amano Yoshitaka, art isn't used in this version of animation, so what's wrong?

Noting Fullmetal Alchemist isn't a way for FUNi to make a quick-sale or what have you, but a rather logical decision since both Arakawa Hiromu and her work FMA are most likely more well-known than Tanaka Yoshiki and his work Arslan. I know it was the case for me.

You might wanna see other manga and anime styles (and understanding how and from where different art styles originate) before throwing-out sentences like these

Again, the anime is advertised has been based on Arakawa's interpretation of the original story. That, in essence, makes the anime's advertisment of being based on Arakawa's work as correct.

Sure. Informing fans of other quality animes would be ideal. But I don't think that is how marketing works. Funimation is being smart, not lazy, pimping out FMA, one of their most successful titles. I would do the same if I was them.

And what are the odds that some casual fan (Funimation's intended target with their marketing) would google LotGH?

Blah blah blah RAEG!!!

Once again, you are taking this FAR too personally than you should. It's not a big thing and you frankly just need to get over it.

So please, for your own sake as well as for the sake of everyone else here...

CHILL.

chill chill CHIILLLLLL

This.

I find it horribly ironic that you are bitching about Funimation using FMA's name to promote this new show and how fanboys will eat up anything FMAish that Funi throws out, and yet your avatar is one of the main antagonists in the show. You are getting angry over nothing and really need to get over it.

so I'll just ask. are you guys seriously having an argument over the wording in a press release?
