Funimation announced today that today, fans will be able to watch two Aniplex anime: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and seasons 1 and 2 of Black Butler. Black Butler fans will be able to even watch the 7 OVA episodes. All 64 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist will be available for fans. Both these anime will be in English Dubbed and Subbed.
