FUNimation's FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST Rights Expire In July

FUNimation's rights to Fullmetal Alchemist will expire this July and many expect Aniplex to make a quick acquisition. You're probably kicking yourself if you delayed in upgrading from DVD to Bu-ray.

FUNimations rights to streaming and distribution for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009) expired in March and it will soon lose rights to the 2003 anime series as well.  Aniplex quickly acquired the rights to Brotherhoood and many fans expect them to do the same for its predecessor.  This is a rather notable development as Aniplex box sets tend to be on the expensive side.  Copies are already selling out at the more popular online retailers. 


Innocence and flesh were sacrificed when two young brothers ignored the laws of Alchemy in an attempt to resurrect their mother. The horrors they recklessly unleashed that night marked the beginning of a journey that leads from darkness to light and back.

In an era of war and corruption, State Alchemist Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse desperately search for the Philosopher’s Stone. The legendary artifact is their last hope to restore what was lost – or it could be their undoing. The grisly truths found in the quest for the relic will test their souls in ways unimaginable. Murder stalks the brothers from the shadows and false prophets conspire to steal their faith. Morality is assaulted by military atrocities and scientific abominations. Amid the ashes of their childhood, Edward and Alphonse will discover the power to create is but a breath away from the power to destroy. The bond of brotherhood will be their greatest weapon in the fight for their lives.
