While it may seem strange that anime fans are excited for the day that Fullmetal Alchemist becomes a live-action movie. The classic shonen from Hiromu Arakawa is set to come to life, debuting in Japan on December 1, and the cast members are giving fans some big hopes that it will be a great adaptation from the anime series.
Actress Tsubasa Honda who will be taking on the role of Winry Rockbell in the film has said these comments after re-reading the manga:
"It made me think, once again, that Fullmetal Alchemist is something that can definitely be enjoyed as a child, but then can be enjoyed again after becoming an adult," Honda said. "The brotherly love is wonderful, and all of the characters, even the enemies, have fascinating sides to them and things that I love about them."
