Everybody saw this coming. Glad it happened so soon, though. No mention of subtitles though.

I saw this coming once Madman said they were streaming it down here in Australia, Madman and FUNi are pretty buddy-buddy with eachother.

C'mon do something similar to Dragon Ball Kai, and you done something right for the 1,000,000 time.

Patience is a virtue.

I saw this coming a mile away. Good job for FUNi being awesome as usual.

Just as long as there's subtitles, hopefully.

 

[Lyon]

Haha, well done.

 

[elemenohpi]

Wow.

A while ago, I had had a hope that the comapies would "get" this concept in time to stream the 2nd season of Gundam 00 online.

One season later though is not bad either. Definitely a gigantic step in the right direction.

So that answers the question of whether the show is licensed or not...

 

[BrewCrew09!]

I hope it's licensed, I couldn't picture anyone other than FUNimation licensing the new FULLMETAL Alchemist show

Well, it is DB. I think their lack of being able to do anything right with the property has become as much as joke to the staff as it has the fandom.

Funimation blog confirms the license

 

[rusty shakleford]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go FUNi GO!!!!!!!

 

[Ninjas can be gangsters]

I LOVE YOU FUNIMATION!! Enough said!

This just made my week. Thanks FUNimation!

Smart move on FUNi's part. Hopefully this convinces fansubbers to NOT sub it.

 

[BTMF]

Schweet. I'm not particularly excited for the new FMA (blasphemy I know), but, hey, free legal streams? Do I have any excuse not to tune in?

 

[Out of Kool-Aid?]

I hope they plan on doing this for DB Kai to. Maybe it's a bad sign. FUNI, you better bring DB Kai over here! But anyway it'll be fun watching FMA.

 

[Deanna[:]

You had me worried for a second there, FUNi, but I knew you'd come through to prove once again that you are the greatest North American anime distributor. God you guys are awesome. Keep up the great work!

 

[SuperDude C]

Awesome. Cant wait.

 

[Aconalo N]

Well, this is certainly good news.
