There there Jae *pats her shoulder in a comforting manner* if it makes you feel better, think of how long it takes for me to get something. Trust me, it's shocking.

Thanks, but remember I'm a spoiled american

It did arrive today- I can't scan it til later tonight at earliest.
There is a url-
for Kyoto Animation
So that little bit is confirmed without me giving myself a sizable headache.

BTW, they have an english site to the site- it appears to be the same as the japanese, and I couldn't find any FMP related info there yet.
(checked the japanese front page too)

Seems they did Inu Yasha (or at least some eps of it), and some other stuff.I hope they're good.

In info on VAs yet, at least no listing.
They used an old picture for the article background? blah

Alright, translators needed (pleaseplease).

The article is a 2 page spread- the left page has the main chars all of whom have a small text box.
The right page has the headlines and the main article box.

These scans are large, and I edited them to make the text the most readable on my screen- they may be too large to small on yours, whatever. I can fix em, as requested.

So, listing in the opposite of what I just said-
This is the full headlines page
This is those 3 or 4 lines of vertical text subhead
The text box that has most of the info assumably
-on the other page
The production info box (I cut off the URL- that's for Kyoto Animation.
The ARX-7 box
Tessa box
Sousuke box
Kaname box
Hayashimizu box (the student body president dude, who I think really must be what ruri now thinks)

Anyone wanna make us happy?

*cracks knuckles*

I guess I'll put my neck on the chopping block and give this a try....

This post will be edited as I translate the links 1 by 1 % in title mean my confidence in the translation.

Link 1: Big red text (99%)
"Full*Metal new animation series in planning!"

Link 2: insert (80%)
"as a special gift to our readers, a news item that is of big surprise! A new FMP anime series, so soon already!?"

Link 3: huge block of text *moan*

(70%)
"As the year comes to an end, we at Dragon Anime (DA) recive this news item, FMP, new anime seires!"

"Really!? This anime ended only half a year ago, and now a new series already, aren't you guys happy or what?"

"Its nice to be happy, but tell us what's going on already? okay, sorry, we at DA will tell you what we know..."

"First of all, the [Story]. The previous TV series was made with a long story pace. This time, it has been decided that it will be a short pace series. With say, trading Sousuke's skill with being preoccupied, with an interesting campus high tension anime. As done in Drama CD [Gun Ho-, Gun Ho-](spelling, don't know this one -UZ0) Will that be animated too!?"

"Now the Staff seem to be stable as well. The character designs will be the same as the previous series, with Horiuchi Osamu-san in charge. The cute Kaname, the serious Sousuke, its a relief to be entrusted to him. Of course, the story this time is done with the coaching of Gatou Shouji. The combination since the last series with Shimo Fumhiko shouldn't change. The production has moved from GONZO to Kyoto Animation, but the production staff are the same staff responsible for the [Gatekeepers] series. With also and phisically strong editing department pushing this series, we wait for more information!"

Link 4: Staff (90%)
Director: -
Series: Gatou Shoji & Shimo Fumhiko
Characters: Horiuchi Osamu
Music: -
Production: Kyoto Animation

Link 5: Arbalest (60%)
Will there be a situation where the Arbalest will appear? It might not be possible in a short series.... But we are hoping that it will appear in an original episode just like it did in the original series!

Link 6: Teletha Tesstarossa (did I even spell that right? -UZ0) (40%)
"Originally, Tessa did not have an appeareace in the short story, but she seems to have something up her sleeve in [Comming of Goddess](again, no idea withat this is -UZ0). We don't know if an event with Tessa in a school swimsuit is possible or not but we sure are hoping!"

Link 7:Sousuke (80%)
Well, this guy probably won't change much be it short or long series. He'll prbably still be running all over the place over reacting, and getting beaten on by Kaname, we hope.

Link 8: Kaname (30%)
After reavelaing such heavy plot items like being a whispered, we are eager to see a Halisen (Paperfan) swinging Chidori back in the series. The indecisive beauty, running down a new path!!

Link 9: Haiyashimuzu (80%)
The student president that had no part in the 1st anime. A person off the beaten path juist like Sousuke!? With Jindai High School as the stage, He is active asSousuke's superior! A High School needs a white Gakuran (Long coat male uniform) after all!!

There, I'm done!

*keels over and dies*

Wow- thank you thank you thank you *bows to URZ-Zero*

What was in there- about the drama Mission cds- an (old) set of 3 mini-drama cds that was released, that's what that is (centered around events at the school)....

Interesting.

I found Drama ep 3 to be hilarious. Always wondered what would happen if Tessa showed up in Sousuke's class. If I'm not mistaken, Minami Omi played her in the CD dramas.

Liselle · Post by **Liselle** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 1:45 am

Go report to Drill Sergeant Taurec in the Tau-week thread.

SagaraSousuke · Post by **SagaraSousuke** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 2:03 am

Erm.. which way is the Tau-week thread?

My instincts tell me that I'm to be subjected to abject torture of the initiation process basing on your superiority's facial expression^^;

Katyusha · Post by **Katyusha** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 9:09 am

Hmmm.... you guessed right. Don't worry, it isn't much. Just 7 days of training that make the SEAL hellweek look like wussy stuff. You know, your average everyday grilling of recruits (and I mean GRILLING, not interrogation), a frozen swim (There's ice in the lake at least), and your average parachute jump with a faulty parachute. Nothing to worry about at all.
