Nipponmedia.net is proud to present its 2009 anime awards.
Many of the forum members have always thought it would be nice to do some kind of award or questionnaire for our favorite shows.
Finally V4sh took the initiative to compile together a series of questions to make our first NM awards.
This are the results of our own nipponmedia.net community questions and answers. Many nominees, but a few only selected as winners.
Remember you may not agree with some of this results, but this are just the winners by getting the most votes from our members.
Now I leave you with our anime awards.

Fullmetal Alchemist – Brotherhood OP

Info for those who dont know Full Metal Alchemist —> Click here <—

After more than 4 years in deep sleep we get our new series of our beloved Full Metal Alchemist story. This time the anime series is to follow the manga more closely. Or compared to the previous series, after half of the series. Will follow manga period.

We get a Sweet new opening, the song is called Again and it performed by none the less the awesome Yui.
And since I’m a cool guy I’ll let you have the Full version of the new opening which you can download RIGHT HERE.

We get right into the state searching for the Ice Alchemist which is doing naughty things around and is in some kind of vendetta/hate mission towards the state.

Animation is sweet, amazing, lovely… But is made by Bones, so is to be expected as they always rock our socks.

The only difference I could point out (like important difference) is how Hughes is introduced to the story. But I’ll let you see it.

This series is so far being subtitled (english) by the cool groups of:
Shinsen Subs
Eclipse Subs
GSS Subs

I myself I’m watching the GSS subs, because it seems it got a better raw than Sinsen and Eclipse. But all three are subbing in 1280×720 quality. Both the 3 groups are very respected and appreciated!
I will try to post a weekly entry for each FMA episode, with screens and some information and of course download links. As more fansub groups pick up this series I will post them here

Downloads (all torrents):
[Shinsen-Subs] Fullmetal Alchemist 2 – Brotherhood – 01
[gSS] Fullmetal Alchemist (2009) – 01
[Eclipse] Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood – 01
