Full Metal Alchemist

Who here loves Full Metal Alchemist?
I am a huge fan of this series. Ed is amazing. This series is amazing.
Talk about it here!

I. Love. FMA.

I used to be OBSESSED with it. i even own a military-issue pocketwatch X3 *with a dead battery*

I love the depth of the characters and the plot!!!! And the action part of it doesn't hurt at all.

The heartwrenching storyline not only makes you want to cry, it makes you THINK. If you've seen the last episodes of the series, you'll know that. And if you've seen the movie, all that much more.

...

And Edward's just the awesomest little shrimp that ever existed! in fact, there's a freshman at my school who would make a PERFECT Ed!! XD

I love Ed!
Espeically how he explodes at people who call him short
Half of the books make me want to cry!

i sorta got lost in the books. It wasnt so much the plot *which is still good* as the fact that i can't keep up with any manga series that extends more than 10 books ^^;;;

My attention span for plots leaves much to be desired, to say the least.

Well, I have to read the books
Because if my parents see me watching anime, i get in big trouble
of course, i'm not allowed to read manga either...
oh well, i think the books are lovely and can't wait until...uh...i think its the 16th
(your right...there are alot of books and its VERY hard to keep track of what happens in what book...but at least its not as bad as naruto...i think thats on 27 books now...i'm only on eight...i have alot of reading to do...)

*le gasp* your parents don't let you be otaku!?!?! That's a sin. Lemme guess, it's because EVERY anime is about demons and casting all that is evil in a good light right? T_T Ha. Ignorant souls.

Naruto is just......just......INSANE. I don't even know what the plot is!!!!!!!! i'm on the......9th? 10th book? The Naruto anime lost me. It took way too long to get into a plot, so i just gave up after the 6th episode or something.

ok, well when i was with sou-kun, we watched some of the episodes.
it was really deep...
what happened really made me upset but it is a really god plot that makes you think and when i am less emotional, i hope to watch some more!

yeah. I'll make sure to send you tissues. That seriously scared me, though. I WAS NOT expecting the crying.

...


This, of course, coming from the one who basks in the gruesomness of horror stories.

Which episode did you have her watch?
I've seen up to I think its 20 now.

it was the third, but the flash back. It was that i knew what would happen and then i did not want to see it actually happen.
Chelsi did not let me see some in the second set because she thought they would depress me...
poor little kids so painful to think of
but really good story line

Yup. I'm not letting you watch 'Night of the Chimera's Cry' while i'm around. You. Will. Explode.

We only watched up thru the 4th episode. after that we went to read bookses. XP

yep, is it better as a book or as a show?
what do you think

Well, the both have kind of different plots and storylines

EPISODE 6 OR 7 (can't remember which) MADE ME CRY TO NO END...PLUS THEN I FOUND AN AMV FOR IT THAT MADE IT WORSE!

was it the chimera one?

Si!
(that still makes me sad...and the AMV doesn't help)

Night of the Chimeras Cry scared me when i first saw it. Then it made me horribly sad, now i just see Shou Tucker as an a**h*le.

I dunno, the manga lost me after a while for all the "SOB!!!! EMO TEARS!!!" But i got the gist of it.

The manga and anime really took different paths. I like the anime better i guess because it doesn't drag the poor (as in "aww....that poor thing") plot out until it dies of being torn apart. *cough inuyasha cough naruto cough*

And the fact that it ends in one movie that ties it all up with neat ends, not four that are basically just really long episodes *cough hack inuyasha hack cough* makes it really great.

can you tell every one what you really like about it or maybe what you do not like so that we can get the gist of it

I like drawing out the plot
it means more time to look at Ed...sigh...

You really like Ed, don't you? XD Personally, i like Mustang. And Hughes and Hawkeye. The military guys (AND GIRL) rock. But of course, Ed holds that special place in all our hearts.

Whoops...i forgot. ENVY is the best. Envy rules all. Poor guy never wanted anything more than some fatherly love. *emo tear*
My order of favorite characters goes thus:
Envy
Ed
Mustang
Hawkeye
Hughes

Anyway. I can't really give the gist of it because it's something you really need to SEE to get. Summaries can only go so far.

wow, i like ed, he is REALLY cute, besides the missing leg and arm, but that makes him great *sigh*
at the same time, poor ed and little brother, both so sad
great plot, good ed, bad envy yet VERY INTRESTING envy...
that is how it is supposed to be

LOL
I love Mustang too...and Hawkeye...
and Hughes (takes a moment of silence in rememberance)
And of course you can't forget Winry...SHE'S AMAZING!
...i don't quite like envy...he seems kinda mean.

only seen those two once but they seem...fun...
i cannot decide if big brother or little brother is better...
still, winery is the best!!!

I think Winry's pretty cool. Its just that i tend to gravitate toward male characters.

Hawkeye's an exception to that rule because she's an awesome gunslinger. O_o

*loves guns and cool firey blow-uppy stuff*

LOL
I love Winry for her amazing wrench powers
And Hawkeye...because...well, if you've read the manga, you'll know that the last book was partly about her story...
She has an AMAZING story

O_.

i don't know Hawkeye's story.........i guess i missed that part.
