Oh god. I just saw the trailer for Dragonball: Evolution as I'd heard it was coming out this week, and was traumatized. It is so so so wrong, so much worse than I'd expected. Why did they have to take such a classic story and turn it into any other action movie with all its cliches? That was the impression I got from the trailer...I can't imagine this being a case of the misleading (and bad) trailer (a la Bridge to Terabithia). The worst part? I knew that Goku was going to be Caucasian, but seeing, and hearing, him in action...Was so painful.

On a happier subject, I'm kind of curious about the FMA remake. I really enjoyed the original anime series and will miss Roy's voice actor (it's Roy that's different, right?), but I'm curious. I hear there are many groups subbing it--it'll be interesting trying to figure out which group's sub to download. Any recs?

I watched the first episode of the FMA remake and was not really impressed. It's an anime-original episode to introduce the characters and it was quite chaotic. I don't understand why they didn't just start in Lior like the first series. We'll see how it turns out, I guess. It was nice seeing a new episode after all this time, though.

Roy has a different seiyuu, as does Hawkeye, and Lust I believe. The new one just doesn't seem Roy enough. XD

I downloaded Shinsen's subs, since that was the group I used for the first series as well. The subs were all right, but apparently FUNimation is also subbing it and the first ep should be available to stream on the 9th.

Hm, I'll go with Shinsen as well then. I really have no expectations for the series as I don't really remember how the manga was. I'm hoping I'll like it.
