It’s coming! So far, in addition to US and Canada, I have seen fans from the Singapore, Italy, and the UK confirming the listing on their respective country’s Netflix, so it looks like it will be a pretty wide release.
As you already know, Netflix is all about viewership, especially viewership in the first week of release. This is like the box office numbers for them and they make future business decisions about FMA or even other films in the same genre using those numbers. Please try to watch it on Netflix (not pirated) as soon as possible. There is a 1-month free trial anyway.
Edit:
In US and Canada, the shows are usually released at midnight PST. I’ve been told that Netflix released shows at the same time worldwide, so the movie may not be available until the afternoon your time, depending on where you are. You will have to check with your country’s Netflix.
Thanks for the confirmations in the comments! It is also confirmed for Argentina, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Mexico, Australia, Dutch, Sweden, and the Philippines so far. I don’t think I can keep up with the confirmations, so please leave a comment or check the comments for your country. :-) It does look like it will be available to most of the countries Netflix operates in.
The Hagaren team went on VS Arashi to promote the movie. Representing FMA were Yamada (Ed), Honda (Winry), Renbutsu (Riza), Sato (Hughes), Kanata (Envy), and Uchiyama (Gluttony).
Will the Hagaren team win under the… um… fearless leadership of Yamada? Find out!
