posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
North American anime distributor Funimation confirmed with ANN that it still holds the rights to the 2003-2004 Fullmetal Alchemist television anime series.
The company announced on Monday that that its home video and streaming rights for the 2009-2010 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood television anime and the 2005 Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa anime film will expire on March 31. Both the television anime and film will be removed from Funimation's streaming service on that day, and Funimation will no longer reprint the home video releases for both anime.
Funimation released the 2003-2004 Fullmetal Alchemist television anime series in DVD singles from 2005 to 2013. It recently re-released the series on Blu-ray last September.
