Mine too, join the club *hands out cookies* well, FMA is on in about 5 hours, so I've got to make sure not to miss it (once, I was on FAC for 7 hours straight and missed a bunch of my fave shows. O.o)

I watched some of the dub this afternoon, and...

Well, the american voice actors are good at their job, I'll give 'em that. But everyone except for Al sounds too old! (especially in the first episode; Ed's only about 10 or 11 for Christ's sake! >< He sounds like he's way older!) Not only that, but Al was supposed to read the thing about Equivalent Exchange in the first episode, not Ed. Oh well. :/

The script is mostly the same, although they did change a few things to better fit the audience (minor things like "Cornello-sama is right! They're enemies of God!" to "Lord Cornello is right! They're evil!" and "God" -> "Leto" [although that was their god's name, any time in the japanese they said 'kami-sama' it was automatically changed to 'Leto' in the english. I guess they couldn't keep it the same, though, considering that at least half of America are devout Christians. ), and I don't think there was much editted out, if any at all. ^_^

But still... Paku Romi pwns Ed's english VA in every shape, way, and form. ^^;

I think al would sound young because of his soul attachment. Since he's in there, he can't really mature. See what I'm getting at?

Yeah.

Yeah, it was in the first couple episodes when they were trying to bring back their mother. I just finished the episode where ed and al finally find Marco's notes, and find out that the philosopher's stone needs human lives to make.

Yeah, I knew. He remains about 10 years old for the entirety of the anime.

Oh! Here's a link to a [rather small] picture of one of the promotional postcards that people are given if they pre-order their tickets to see the movie.

Major spoiler! Don't click unless you've seen all the episodes (or you don't mind being spoiled)!

Random small comments [spoilers, highlight to read]:
[quote]It appears that it's supposed to be Al in the foreground and Ed in the background! I didn't realize that that was Al until someone pointed it out. OMG. The plot thickens!

Not only that, but the border around the picture of Ed in the back is a modification of the Homuculus' symbol. Whether the artist did it to make it look cool or not is beyond me, but what if... What if it actually had relevance to the movie?
