Full Metal Alchemist

Jenova Spawn · Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 8:52 pm Post subject: Full Metal Alchemist

Didn't see a topic for it, so....
Just got hooked on it. I mean, I've watched it since it first aired on Adult Swim, but I've only now grown really attatched to it.
Soz, discuss it! Plotlines, favorite characters, favorite episodes, etc..
As for me, here are some of my favorite aspects:
The homunculi and how they're created. They're the most interesting characters to me because of their goals and such. Especially Lust. I'm sad she died..D:
Favorite character was first Scar. I loved his appearence, and his cold attitude. His haunting past was an interesting aspect of the story. Then he died.
After that it was Lust. She seemed to be the only homunculus who seemed to know what was going on. Her rebellious attitude to the other homunculi was awesome. Then she died too! T-T
Favorite Episode..... Hmmm....I guess it would have to be 49. (The one that aired on Adult Swim last Saturday.) The whole scenario of the underground city below Central was so creepy...
Ed dancing with Rose was what the series needed I think.
So how about all of you?

Heh, it's an okay anime. I really feel bad for Al how [spoil:48492ba85c]he's trapped in that metal suit. [/spoil:48492ba85c] For future reference, could you tag the spoliers?

Al being bound to the armor isn't really a spoiler. It's a common plot point for FMA. And a common point of humor since most people see him and assume "Metal? That must be the famous Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elrick!" And then Ed argues that he is, gets called short, and goes into a manaical rage. Hurray! But those things that happened recently in the series, like deaths of major characters, are spoilers. Oh, it's so close to the end of the series now! I hope it doesn't take too long for the movie to be released.

I've been hooked on this series for quite some time now. The art, the characters, and the music are all fantastic ^_^

I recently bought a CD by Paku Romi (Ed's voice)... I've loved her voice ever since she did Ken in Digimon 02. Great little CD; she sings her own rendition of Tobira no Mukou e on it as well :3

I've loved FMA since I saw the episode with the train. It's a great series with an interesting plotline, humorous moments, and awesome characters. I cannot wait to see episode fifty; even though I've already seen it subbed. My favorite character is Maes Hughes, his love for Alicia and Gracia was adorable; after him would be Riza and Roy, my second favorite fan pairing ever. ^__^

How bout some spolier tags in the first post please.
But I liked hughes too. [spoil:daed0285b4]the fact that he died was really sad[/spoil:daed0285b4]
And a lot of the homunculi gain feelings. Which is an interesting plot point.
Although where did envy come from?

Hughes' death really isn't a spoiler anymore...

The FMA anime is pretty okay (at first, I was in love), but I prefer the manga in terms of story and events. The final episodes I liked, but it kind of warped into another dimension compared to Arakawa's work.

I just got started on it, It seems pretty good. Stpid Canada for releasing it so late. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is the whole concept of Alchemy, but eh.

Is there? There was no preview for an episode. I figured that that was what the movie was for. Well, I'm going to keep an eye out for FMA next weekend, but I'm expecting to have to wait until the movie is dubbed and out in theaters or DVD stores.

So there isn't another series planned after this? This is the end of the FMA show?

There probably isn't going to be more episodes, but there's a movie for it in Japan, [spoil:7565d03754]Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: The Conqueror of Shambala[/spoil:7565d03754]. But I don't think that's really a spoiler. It's just the title...

EDIT: Crap, didn't see Zodiac's post...
