New Cast of Fullmetal Alchemist

A while back, news broke that for the new FMA series, based closer to the original Hiromu Arakawa manga than the first television series, the Japanese voice actresses Romi Paku and Rie Kugimiya would be reprising their roles as Edward and Alphonse Elric, respectively. This was met with much celebration from fans of the first series, such as myself, as they were great in those roles. However, now there's confirmation that while some other voice talent are returning to their roles in the new series, others are not.

Here's some of the new cast (replacements noted with credits):

For those of you who haven't been on 4chan's /m/ board for a while, let me recap:

- Nobody likes Gundam 00, but nobody can explain why
- Everybody is now an expert in what constitutes good and bad writing, despite their terrible ideas
- Any attempt at reason is met with an accusation of being a "[insert 00 character]fag"
- Nobody is satisfied with anything ever - even given a new UC production, they whined it was "too OYW-oriented" and said they wanted Gundam Unicorn
- Nearly every thread is a troll thread

I think I liked it better when I was banned.
