Fullmetal Alchemist had a strong presence at the UshiCon anime convention this year in Austin, TX. Several of their voice actors were in attendance to sign autographs and perform in panels. They included Laura Bailey (Lust), Greg Ayres (Bedo, the lizard man), Carrie Savage (Lydia), Mike McFarlund (Havoc and English ADR director), and Vic Mignogna (Edward Elric).
Most significantly, Mignogna was in attendance in order to show the anime convention sensation, Fullmetal Fantasy. Fullmetal Fantasy is the live action short Mignogna concieved and directed himself about Fullmetal Alchemist, featuring much of the English voice cast cosplaying as the characters they play on the show. The whole idea really started at UshiCon last year, so Vic thought it was important to bring it back here.
Vic said they were trying very hard to get Fullmetal Fantasy put on the Fullmetal Alchemist DVD's. But the final call is from the Japanese producers. For now it will only be shown at conventions. The film itself was hilarious and so much fun. Everyone in the audience who was busting out from the room ate it up.
