well, i'm going to watch it, anime getting weird is rather normal.

It's really bad, probably the worst thing SHAFT has done, including that loli vampire thing.

..Uh, both of them.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
Where are people getting that the FMA author is the only one who does this? I've read tons of manga where the author has a pen name. It's not because they need to sell to boys, its because they put down their real name on things and not have people (read: Nerds) going "OMG YOU'RE THE FMA WRITER"

It's basically just letting them still have a level of anonymity. I've even seen male authors do this, I can't remember off the top of my head, but I have read it. Hell, Bakuman has the main characters doing it.

jk rowling

idk there's plenty of instances of female writers writing for a young male audience doing this, across the world, for the same reason, and while i haven't found a direct quote ive heard it parroted enough

not to mention even if it was also an 'anonymity' thing, there's probably a reason she chose a male sounding alias instead of a female sounding one

Like James Bond, Hirohiko Araki is actually a title held by several different mangaka. This not only explains his seeming immortality, but the drastic evolution of his art.

Hiding the fact that the author is a woman is definitely a huge thing in Western publishing but we're gonna need an expert to determine if the same is true in Japan

It's real dumb though because she's basically ripping "HS's" subs and releasing them on her own because ?????

Funimation's streams use hardcoded subs, so when HS grabs a Funimation show you don't get a separate subs file. That is the thing she is actually producing, she isn't just extracting something that already exists in the HS release.

Why she bothers is a different question.

well ive only heard the story secondhand and dont know if she did it under her own initiative or if she was told to by people higher up,and there's a pretty big difference there

also when she was doing little 4komas for game magazines at the start of her career she used the name 'edmund arakawa', which loving owns

it does.
