Shounen Fullmetal Alchemist by Arakawa Hiromu

[barbapapa]

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

It's actually pretty impressive what BONES Animation Studio did with the FMA Anime, seeing as they only had to go with a couple of vague ideas Hiromu Arakawa had at the time. Improvising all that and still making a pretty good show; though they kinda lost it at the end.
But when you keep track of how Arakawa herself keeps expanding that world of FMA and see the ground she laid in the beginning of the series really take form; that just makes this one of the best manga ever.

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

i've read till chapter 60. (just today ;p)

Spoiler

Khal as for the tatoo Lisa had on her back i strongly believe it has something to do with what we see her say about her father's secrets that weren't manuscripts but something else in chaper 60

a very interesting manga i must say though some of the flashbacks are a little bit boring (some times)
...it goes WAY TO WILD on current chapters and i really want to see how it continues
oh... one other thing... I HATE WRATH OR KING BRADLEY OR WHATEVER HIS NAME "MIGHT" BE i simply hate him, it makes me wanna throw him in a lava lake

No way! Wrath is amusing! ( note how Wrath in the manga is called Pride in the anime btw... because they already had another Wrath... one that we do not have in the manga and i hope will never see )

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

amusing isn't a word that i would've given to a man with three swords, a devil's eye and and attitude of a god like super power unnatural human being called humunuclus (he wa called a brat by Envy ffs. and let's don't forget his "father" omg....

Envy calls everyone a brat XD
Ehmz, refresh my memory, father? You mean

Spoiler

"Clonenheim"?

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

Spoiler

wasn't it Homenheim??? whatever. i am a bit confused too about that. he said "did he made a family?" why do i have the IDIOTIC idea that the one that the Elric's consider as a father is "something else" like another experiment of his

ewwww my brain got zaped

 

[Galth]

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

Spoiler

yes, it's hohenheim/hoenheim well, he looks like him, but its not him, so i assume one of them is a clone ( i personally think the homunculus' leader is the original... )

Hey Khal.....

Spoiler

the "children" of this guy that looks like Hohenhein or whatever have their names from the Seven Deadly Sins (i bet you already knew that though :P)
superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath), acedia (sloth). soooo we must wait to see at least seven of them right? .....o_O damn

*biggest O RLY sign known to mankind*

And yeah, i believe we've seen all seven in the anime, yet two are yet to be revealed in the manga ( and one of them had a different name ):

Spoiler: anime

Gluttony, the fat guy that always wants to eat everything, unoriginal yet very amusing Killed by Wrath and Edward in the movie.
Envy, the first homunculus that Dante created yeeeeeaaaaaars ago, or at least rumoured to be, only "in it" for the fun, not planning to become human anyway. i dont remember if he died, but he was used in his dragon form in the movie to form the new gateway to Shamballa ( or at least they thought it was that )
Lust, the homunculus of Scar's brother's girlfriend, whom he tried to transmute back to life in vain... killed by Wrath and/or Sloth in my memory
Pride, the Fuhrer, king Bradley, killed by Roy Mustang in the last episode
Wrath, the child of the Elric's sensei, born dead, yet after being the subject of a human transmutation it came to life as a homunculus with Edwards lost arm and leg attached so he could use alchemy for some reason... killed by Gluttony or Edward in the movie ( arguable ).
Greed, a failed human transmutation by Dante, though more recent it seems, by far the coolest of the homunculus and such a shame he got a shorter role in the anime... oh wait, i'm going offtopic, anyway, Edward finished him off.
Sloth, the Elric brother's mother, after being brought back a homunculus, and the Fuhrer's secretary... refresh my memory here... wasn't she killed by Edward and Alphonse together? ( i remember something with her turning to gas and dissapearing... )

KILLCOUNT: 7 out of 7.

Spoiler: manga

Lust, Envy and Gluttony : the same personalities and looks, yet nothing is revealed on their past yet, heck, we dont even know if homunculus are created in the same way as the anime!
Greed : first a homunculus that didn't obey "the leader" and was imprisoned, but on release he wants to learn true immortality from Alphonse, and is the first Homunculus for Ed and Al to be encountered, later killed by Wrath and the homunuculus' leader's bubbling vat of scary substance
A lot later Shin makes a bargain with "the leader" ( i like to call him Clonenheim XD ) and becomes the second Greed.
Wrath : Fuhrer, King Bradley, named Pride in the anime. High-ranked among the homunculus
Pride and Sloth haven't been revealed yet ( though we have seen some shadowy forms... one of them is in Central right now )

Capslock... it hurts my eyes, hehehe >_<
But yeah, that scene was awesome

 

[ILUVATAR]

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

i've only seen the movie of FMA: Conqueror of Shambala. ....i didn't understand A thing :P

Spoiler

i understood though that Al found his body but lost his memory of the time being in the armor (he found it again later on the movie) Ed and Al regroup themselves in another dimension as it seems, a place with no Alchemy. somewhere near our World War II i believe.... in the end they continue their journey in this dimension together again.... ....

Yeah, i wanted that to happen too... T___T

And hell yeah you should! XD

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

I am still angry with the ending of the anime. Even after i saw the movie.

Re: Full Metal Alchemist

The ending to the anime was better in some ways than the end to the movie when...

Spoiler

They ran away and just left Winry standing there....=/ Ahh...another loose end left hanging.

Anyways I am finally reading the manga becuase I really wanted to see a few things wrapped up that were left hanging not only in the anime but the movie as well.
