So with the new Fullmetal Alchemist anime set to air, people have been wondering what to call it. Some prefer “Fullmetal Alchemist 2” seeing as it’s the second anime, but it can seem inappropriate, seeing as this is a remake and not a sequel. Luckily, a recent commercial for the new FMA has given us the answer!

The preferred title is now Hagane no Renkinjutsushi – Fullmetal Alchemist.

“Wait a second!” you might be saying. “That just means the same thing! How is that different from the old title?!”

Ah, you see, what you’re supposed to do is say the JAPANESE name followed by the ENGLISH name!

This is totally easy to understand and will not be confusing at all!

So let us welcome our new show. We’ll call it “Hagaren – FMA” for short!
