Keep it Animated
i hope it isn't live action :P live action anime's always seem to go badly. Ex: Avatar the last airbender, Dragonball Z ..... User:Ninabean822 22:55, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

...The Death Note films...the list goes on! Seriously, though, why would anyone make an anime film live-action in the first place? The thing about anime is that it's Japanese for ANIMATION, which live-action definitely is not a part of. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about anything new from the Fullmetal world. I think the wiki is going to have a lot of edits soon!--Full Metal Fan 03:57, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * True, true(by the way anime is a word of American origin, and is not Japanese, but refers to the style of animation that usually comes from japan and occasionally other countries such as France and the USA). For the most part I have to agree, there have been maybe a couple good live action anime movies ever although if they were to produce the movie correctly, which is rare, the style for FMA may not be too hard to pull off as a live-action. Although the requirements would be the following:


 * It cannot be a remake of any part of the anime/manga.
 * An example is comparing the original anime to brotherhood/manga. They changed the story even though the setting was the same for the most part(which included a few small side stories).
 * The reason being is that I noticed when watching live-action anime movies they would be forced to do a compression of the story. They will have to cut out many elements, otherwise we will be left with a 20 hour or more movie. I wouldn't mind that if they broke them up but I have a feeling that would be way out of budget.Although if they used lead paint to make Ed's arm and make Al out of a cardboard box and so on they might pull it off. Well any way it should either be a "plot altered" remake or a continuation.


 * The setting should be altered minimally or not at all.
 * Dragon Ball.... 'nuff said.
 * The reason being people are expecting to fall in love with the same characters they originally saw in the manga/anime. When they find characters changed or location altered, or time being entire different if makes fans angry. They want to fall in love with the same stuff they originally did.


 * Don't rush but don't let the fan fires die out.
 * No examples needed.
 * This one should be pretty self explanatory. Any good movie takes more than a year to make it decent quality, especially with the style of FMA. Take too long to make it and people will begin forgetting or worse yet, the writers over think the plot and it just goes very bland.


 * Most importantly, DON"T CHANGE THE STYLE!!!!
 * Oh so many movies ruined I can't name only a couple.
 * Change the style and fans will turn away from it immediately, some even quitting FMA completely. Sure you will get "new fans" this way, but many of these so called fans will hate the anime/manga just because the style is different. If this was to occur FMA would become but a rumor and will well on its way to becoming a "dead flame".

So to finish this off, I would like to see a successful FMA live-action movie, but if it were to fail I would rather there not even be one. If anyone has any addition suggestions for what I should add/alter please E-Mail me at vladashram@yahoo.com. Thank you for reading. Vladashram 13:02, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say, if they'd want to make a live-action movie, they'd have to cast European actors, because most FMA characters are, well, sort of European. Plus Chinese actors for Xing characters. It's just wrong when nationalities are messed up *cough*thelastairbender*cough*. Kiadony 14:09, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

You also have to keep in mind that those movies were made my Americans really. I was under the impression that this would be done by the Japanese people in charge. I kind of do hope its made live action. I just have a feeling it will be good. But I agree. They would need to cast European actors, preferably German, for the roles, which would make it a bit more complicated. Honestly though, I think I'd prefer if they did both. More FMA to enjoy one way or another. Neajea 20:50, November 13, 2010 (UTC)
