Propaganda as submitted by YOU, in initial entries, tags, and reblogs:
Gravity Falls:
Beaten so far: Parks and Rec, The Simpsons
"Shaped a generation of weird kids"
"Scientist has messy breakup with evil triangle"
"It's sweet and it shows good sibling relationships and it's awesome!"
"gravity falls is the og come on"
"respectfully this is the gravity falls fan website"
"if you were here on Tumblr while Gravity Falls was airing, youll know why it's winning"
"AN INCREDIBLE STORY, AMAZING AND UNIQUE CHARACTERS, THE SIBLING DYNAMIC BETWEEN THE PINES TWINS IS SO SO SWEET, ITâS SWEET AND HAS A LOT OF FUN AND FUNNY AND SILLY MOMENTS, BUT IT ALSO HAS LOTS OF HEART AND KNOWS WHEN TO BE SERIOUS WHEN IT NEEDS TO"
"i can never forget Tumblr sexyman bill chiper"
Yu-Gi-Oh!:
Beaten so far: Better Call Saul, Brooklyn Nine-Nine
"believe in the heart of the cards baybeeee"
"It has technically been semi-continuously running since 2001 - technically since the 90s ... Identity and confidence in yourself are also major themes. Also like not to exaggerate but Yugioh literally taught be about the concept of loving yourself . That Death-T talk hits hard"
"ABSOLUTELY the darklord deck - have you seen Ghost Beef?? Also the commercial thats just him screaming YUGIOH!!!"
"Seto Kaiba EXISTS. That alone is propaganda."
"a guy tried to invent time travel so he could beat a dead guy in a card game"
"if you have ever said the words âyouâve activated my trap cardâ then you owe it to yugioh to vote for it here"
"the story of an amnesiac ghost contending with the past he doesn't remember, the long-reaching consequences of his father and uncle's actions, and the lengths grief will drive people to."
"a five foot nothing punk guy named yugi who is sharing a body with an ancient egyptian pharaoh. even better: the ancient pharaoh and that guy? they're lowkey in love. the rival is a six foot tall ceo who could easily bench press yugi if he wants to. instead, he is so hyperfixated on this cardgame that he a) turns an entire weapons company into a GAMER COMPANY and b) will only consider beating yugi a real W if he does it through this card game."
"the guy who wrote it? he died saving two kids and his legacy is the most popular card game in the entire world and the most iconic anime to ever grace saturday morning television."
"Exploration of the meaning of power, cycles of abuse, long-lasting effects of trauma and destiny vs. free will in a series where teenagers save the world and solve their problems by throwing cards at them."
"Well written, well developed characters that, as stated above, often explore things like the effects of trauma and cycles of abuse."
"Completely bizarre plot lines ("card games on motorcycles!") that somehow work and get you invested. Basically, very good suspension of disbelief."
we're back to losing, which is expected. yugioh fans, we can push back! we were winning before: we can do it again! come on! it's the anniversary of kazuki takahashi's passing and this is how you honor him? vote!
Yeah sure, why? All three movies are already out, so I'm not sure what news there's left to talk about. Was there something in particular you're looking for?
I donât have Netflix to see the movie. đđđ Is there a way to download it?
Netflix has a month-long free trial that allows you to watch all the shows youâd like including the movie if you sign up for it, and you can cancel it at anytime before you pay anything so you should definitely try it if you can. At the moment there are no downloads that weâre aware of, but there will be some livestreams here on tumblr and on twitter.
twitter user @ashedsart on rabb.it
@gomboc123 will be having a livestream on their blog as well
Iâm sure there are more people streaming the movie on their blog/rabb.it, but these two are the ones I know for sure.
Hi, do you know if they're planning on making another fma movie? I felt like the ending heavily implied that but I haven't heard anything else about it. Thanks!
Hi, based on the previous interviews, the team wants to make a sequel but it all depends on the box office. Ultimately, the movie is pretty expensive for a Japanese production company and unfortunately, it doesnât look like the Japanese market can justify the costs. Maybe if the Netflix thing goes well and they want a sequel and is willing to share the costs? I am really just speculating on the last bit.
Fullmetal Alchemist is finally going to be released worldwide on Netflix in a few hours. We would like to hear what you think about the movie on here and on Twitter. If you are watching the movie and want to share your thoughts, can you please use the hashtag #FMANetflix? It will be easier to search the tag. Hey, maybe we can make this trend! Thanks!
If you've already seen the movie, what would you rate it, 1 being the worst, and 10 being the best? I've been reading reviews, and it seems like there's a bunch of different opinions out there. Some loved it, some thought it was okay, and others hated it. I'm a little worried about how the movie will be. Luckily, it comes to Netflix in 3 days.
Regardless of how I review the movie, the fact is that itâll depend on the viewer. Iâm also aware of the great variety of reactions out there, some honestly surprised me and some didnât, but after speaking with several others who also watched the movie, we all agree on one main point: go into the film with an open mind.
After watching the movie the first time I honestly didnât know what to think - there were several parts that I liked and others that left me disappointed - but after watching it a few more times with various people (7 times total to be exact) I found myself enjoying it more while simultaneously being more critical of its plot and characters. However, let me be clear, I donât hate the movie. I couldnât bring myself to hate it even if I tried because itâs still FMA - a new FMA with everything that entails, but FMA nonetheless, so in the end Iâm grateful we have it.
Something worthy of note is that Ed, Al, and by default, Winry are all aged up. Ed is 20 and Al is 19, but the brothers still commit human transmutation when theyâre 11 and 10 so theyâve already been on their journey for far longer than they were in the manga/anime-verse even though their story is just beginning. In my opinion, itâs very important to keep this small detail in mind while watching, because Edâs guilt is a big focus throughout the movie.
Iâll finish this off by saying that plot-wise, I wasnât a big fan of the climax and the subsequent finale even if it had a couple badass moments. Characterization-wise, almost everybody was spot-on for the amount of time they were given. Personally, I would rate it a 6 leaning to a 7 because Al alone left a big impression (he was a fave), but this film is definitely not Hollywood-material so donât expect it to be.
I hope I havenât said too much already, and that I was able to answer your question clearly. I honestly wanna hear all of your reactions and thoughts on the movie!! Let us know what you think when you see it!
Itâs coming! So far, in addition to US and Canada, I have seen fans from the Singapore, Italy, and the UK confirming the listing on their respective countryâs Netflix, so it looks like it will be a pretty wide release.
As you already know, Netflix is all about viewership, especially viewership in the first week of release. This is like the box office numbers for them and they make future business decisions about FMA or even other films in the same genre using those numbers. Please try to watch it on Netflix (not pirated) as soon as possible. There is a 1-month free trial anyway.
Edit:
In US and Canada, the shows are usually released at midnight PST. Iâve been told that Netflix released shows at the same time worldwide, so the movie may not be available until the afternoon your time, depending on where you are. You will have to check with your countryâs Netflix.
Thanks for the confirmations in the comments! It is also confirmed for Argentina, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Mexico, Australia, Dutch, Sweden, and the Philippines so far. I donât think I can keep up with the confirmations, so please leave a comment or check the comments for your country. :-) It does look like it will be available to most of the countries Netflix operates in.
So to reiterate, just to nip it in the bud before people start freaking out about this:
The movie coming to Netflix in February is NOTÂ âNetflix Fullmetal Alchemistâ. Itâs the 2017 Japanese FMA live action movie, made lovingly in Japan by dedicated fans of the series, with input from Hiromu Arakawa. Netflix may have obtained the rights to license it in the U.S., but they did not make the movie itself. Itâs the same movie weâve been hearing about since early 2016.
Netflix often buys the licensing rights to foreign shows, and then markets them as âNetflix originalsâ, but contrary to what it implies, that doesnât always mean they were made by Netflix. Rest assured that this is not Death Note. I actually saw the FMA live action at its New York premiere back in November, and I can tell you that although the plot is different from anything weâve seen before (think of it as an AU), itâs a fantastic Japanese movie that stays true to the spirit of FMA, with a great cast as well. So donât miss it!
Today, several US and Canadian websites have published the whatâs released on Netflix in February 2018 article and Fullmetal Alchemist is on the list.
Based on the information available, the live action movie (assuming they are not talking about the anime movies) is slated to be released on February 19 as a Netflix Original. We donât know if there will be an official confirmation but if we see it, we will post it on the blog.
Netflix has been getting into the film business the past couple of years. They have both funded original film productions and bought exclusive distribution rights to films (usually foreign films). Both these types of projects are billed as Netflix Original. The Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action Movie falls under the second category, which means Netflix has the exclusive right to stream it online. Netflix did not make the FMA LA movie, so it is a completely different situation from Death Note (2017). I think most Netflix Originals are available on the same day in all the countries that carry Netflix (around 190 of them). There may be separate theatrical releases but we donât have any information on that and will let you know if we hear anything.
Please support the film by viewing it on Netflix as soon as possible. Netflix is very interested in viewership numbers.
(Editing to make this more clear...)

This is a bit late for me to say, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have been blessed in 2017 for the Fullmetal Alchemist live action movie, the sole reason why we started this blog in the first place! And thank you for following us throughout 2016-2017! It has been an awesome journey.
Sorry for being inactive for the past weeks. Our admin has been really busy with our lives and we haven't managed to catch up with the later half of the promotional stuff (interviews, variety show appearances, etc). We will try to finish the remaining untranslated interviews and possibly some variety show appearances featuring the cast. We'd like to thank @ryoosukeyamada fansub team too for doing most of the subbing for their variety show appearances.
Though its already 2018, there is still no news of the international release dates, but we will make sure to update you guys ASAP once the info comes out! As soon as I am done with my real life stuff I'll do my best to share more stuff about the movie here!
The Hagaren team went on VS Arashi to promote the movie. Representing FMA were Yamada (Ed), Honda (Winry), Renbutsu (Riza), Sato (Hughes), Kanata (Envy), and Uchiyama (Gluttony).
Will the Hagaren team win under the... um... fearless leadership of Yamada? Find out!
