The big development hinted at some time ago, and revealed in the leaked Bones documents, has finally had a formal announcement, though details are yet scant – there is to be a new Full Metal Alchemist TV anime.

This past weekend Jason and I revisited our old Saitama free-camping ground via an 80km ride up the Arakawa river, this time with Can. Mike in tow on his new black Trek, as well as assorted women who took the train and buses to meet us there for a BBQ and the Cotton Cafe.
