As the AnimeNEXT festivities continued on we took a break and sat in this Diversity panel hosted by The Panel Sisters. There were so many panels on diversity at this con this year I was so proud to see everyone get to express themselves and find others that identify with them. Diversity is necessary in all sorts of media and I’m excited to see what creators of new anime and manga will come up with after seeing fans call for more diversity.
The live action of Fullmetal Alchemists made it’s US debut at Anime NYC and you had to purchase $10 tickets to see it and I must say I really liked the movie, it all was just a summary of everything that happens in FullMetal Alchemist with a twist. The movie will officially be released on December 1st, 2017. The wonderful thing about this movie is that the ENTIRE cast is Japanese and it was amazing to actually see it play out this way, I honestly wouldn’t want to see a Hollywood adaptions because this was just perfect as is.
Day 12: Saddest Anime Scene ?
The saddest anime scene I can recall is from Full Metal Alchemist. When Mae’s died I was hurt. I really felt it. Learning about the history of the Ishvalen people was sad too. Also learning of the death of Ed and Al’s teacher baby. Fact that Ed and Al lost there mother so young was sad as shit. Nothing quite tops Shou Tuckers’s using his only daughter and her pet dog to create a Chimera.
