Full Metal Alchemist Club

The original series... I'm not sure about the story behind that. But Brotherhood was made to follow the manga more. And honestly, now that I've watched both, I'm not sure about my preferences. And yes, Envy's voice actor is female. I think it fit better in the original anime...

Oh, and also, for Brotherhood, try Hulu.

Ok thanks and yeah I agree Envy with a female voice actor is better.

I think the anime Overtook The Manga.

This is what my Wiki Powers gave me:

When the studio Bones adapted [FullMetalAlchemist] into an anime series, Arakawa aided them in developing it. However, she later let them work alone in the making of the script so that both manga and anime would have different endings, and to develop the manga further.

Ok? I also noticed that Greed and his Chimeras look different and when Izumi is fighting against Greed her shirt is black rather than white. Also Greed's shirt should be black and not red, his mouth when in his shield form should not move when he talks just like the original series. Why is Bradly Wrath instead of Pride? Why is Sloth a giant guy instead of Ed and Al's mother/Bradly's secretary?
Yes yes I understand that it's made to follow the manga but why change things? Also why is Breda Falmin and Falmin Breda?

Because the anime was originally a bit of a spinoff from the manga, I think, but then they made a second Fullmetal Alchemist anime to be more similar to the manga. I actually see Brotherhood as "normal" because I'm so used to it and the manga. XD

But I never knew about the Breda-Falman switch. I don't really understand it either, if you say it's there.

Basically, the anime was changed from the manga, but with Brotherhood, they changed it back.

Unfortunately, I just barely missed the playing of the original anime on TV (I started watching at episode 2 of Brotherhood) and so now I have to watch the ones on iTunes. Oh, well.

Well in the original Falman is the fat guy that works under Mustang and Breda is the gray haired guy that also works under Mustang.
 
Huh? No, from what I remember, in the original anime, Falman was the grey-haired guy (who for some reason I always confused with Havoc) and Breda was the red-haired fat guy. Is that different from brotherhood and the manga? I didn't think so, because in one of the new episodes, Greed!Ling, like, shouts Falman's name when he's guarding the gate.

EDIT: Guys, guys, Brotherhood is easily accessible at FUNimation's website. That's where I watch it.

Oh, yeah, that. I forgot. XD It's about two episodes ahead of Hulu.

Also, for some reason, on Hulu, they normally translate the songs in English on even episodes and Japanese on odd episodes, and yet in episode 55 they translate Rain in English...
 
Just finished watching all the available episodes of Brotherhood and wow did I get a ride of a life time. I like how Sloth always complains, it kinda reminds me of Shikamaru(if I'm even spelling it correctly)from Naruto how he always used to complain. Armstong's sister is hardcore and what's up with Kimblee wearing a white suit with a matching hat?
 
Yes, you spelled Shikamaru correctly.

Also, since Brotherhood was made to be like the manga, Kimblee kept his outfit from the books. I actually had a similar reaction when I was watching Brotherhood and saw that Kimblee was wearing a read coat and a slightly different hairdo. I was like, "what's with his look?"

I thought that a certain line said by Brotherhood's Pride was pretty funny. It was pertaining to Kimblee, so I thought I would bring it up. It's a slight spoiler, though, since it's vague.

It was something like "Your suit is turning a lovely shade of red, isn't it?" I think that's the only time I've ever enjoyed Kimblee.

Haha yeah, Pride is actually pretty bad ass considering he's Selim Bradley. In the original series Kimblee wore a crimson red coat with matching pants and a black t-shirt and his hair was like a buzz cut only with a ponytail. The spoiler you were talking about was said by Pride,when Kimblee was dying. It was sort of a joke since his suit was turing like a crimson color and his nickname is the Crmison Alchemist
 
I'd actually like to join, as I've been fond of FMA for a while, and I am sad that it's over now.

Though in any case, the entire series is great. As for my favorite character, Number 66 would probably get that title.
 
Glad to see another new person here, especially a friend. Welcome, Exo-Raikou. Number 66 was originally my favorite character, believe it or not, until about episode 19 when Envy took over.

So apparently, the manga is over now? Maybe I should catch up; I only go by the Japanese episodes and the books here. Here, in episode 60, I'm actually rather amused by how bleak the situation is looking for the protagonists. I've always been the evil one. xD But Wrath and Pride still deserve to die for what they did to Colonel Mustang.

Anyway, my life is filled with Lan Fan now. :P I had another argument about LanFan-aphone versus Bananaphone in Social Studies a few days ago. xD (New members, the "LanFanaphone" pun was in someone's sign up way back when, and I tend to repeat it since I'm a fan of... Lan Fan.) Not only that, but I've dreamed I was Lan Fan twice recently; once last Friday night and then the Sunday night after. I also dreamed Ling taught me how to whistle or something; oddly, I now seem to be getting it.

Long story short, I seem to like the Xing characters best.
 
Oh, the Xing characters are cool, even if we only know enough of them to count on one hand. Lin(g) has that in spades, especially when he becomes Greed 2.0. To be honest, I didn't think too much of Lan Fan Until she curb-stomped Envy, and then later Gluttony with her automail.

Now that I think about it, I've taken a liking to most of the characters except for General Raven and the nameless Gold-Toothed alchemist I even laughed a little when Armstrong killed Raven. Number 66 just stands out because he skates the line between Ax Crazy and Comic Relief.

Kimblee also ranks up as a favorite of mine just because he looks like an FMA-ified Orochimaru. I even give him Orochimaru's voice when i read the manga..

I too have been watching the Japanese anime (and English, since FMA's dub is the best non fandub of an anime I've ever seen) but I'm not too far in either version. Even so, I plan on watching all episodes of both versions, even if the dub cuts out parts of the ending and beginning themes, as well as usually cutting the previews for the next episode.
 
About the curb-stomping... xD I never could follow that part. I read it again in the manga today, but it didn't make any sense to me. I guess I just tend to get scatterbrained when 1. it's my two favorite characters on the same panel, and 2. it's split across two different books. Especially the former. And it wasn't in the anime, so it doesn't really help. But I DID discover that if it WERE in the anime, then it would be this week's episode. I still can't remember what happens on this one.

...But I'm absolutely dreading the English version of episode 19. Lust's death is completely okay, but Havoc... *shudders* at least my sister didn't see that. And "Hypocritical" (a term shared by me and my sister meaning "shouting pitifully in pain") Hawkeye isn't exactly preferable either. ... But I'm still watching it. And buying it on iTunes. XD

Basically, I don't like episode 19 for two reasons but I'm watching it anyway.

I'm also planning to teach my parakeet (I'm going to get it in a couple of weeks) the third ending, Tsunaida Te. :P
 
Episode 19 certainly is going to be interesting I dread it just because Number 66 dies in that episode. I'm more wondering of how Laura Bailey is going to pull off Lust screaming as Mustang burns her alive, as well as her Death. I worry more about 22, as I can only imagine how Caitlin Glass is going to pull off the moment when Winry learns that Scar killed her parents/

And Speaking of Scar, am I the only one who thinks his English voice sounds like Clancy Brown? If I could find a clip of Clancy as Long Feng from Avatar, i would, but no clips seem to exist.

And lastly:

There are no words.
 
Ah! Don't let this die. >< Anyway, I came here because I ordered the second season of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime on DVD, and it finally got here. Well, I only watched the last four or five episodes but I did stay up until about 11 last night just doing so. xD I really didn't get the ending, but at least now I have a reason to visit Germany (or England). Also, I thought that when Envy turned into
a dragon or something at the end, it looked like a Rayquaza/Kingdra splice.
I always knew those two Pokemon were awesome. :)

And just as I predicted, I did have a Fullmetal Alchemist dream the night after... I dreamed that I, my sister and Wrath took a boat from Siberia to Alaska, and landed at a gas station where there was an outdoor swimming pool, a hotel (all three of us got a room; it was number 217 and was very small, with beds propped vertically against the wall which took up most of the room), and also Greed's chimeras, who began chasing me around. I also remember swimming in the outdoor swimming pool. And we were in Alaska.

Not sure how that came about, but it sure was fun. XD
 
It made sense until I realized that you were in Alaska.

Anyhoo, I watched the dub of 19 last week, and I must tip my hat to Laura Bailey and Colleen Clinkenbeard for their respective performances as Lust and Hawkeye in that episode. The dub certainly made it ten times more intense.
 
Say, could I join? The manga is dead, but I still believe FMA is one of the greatest stories ever told. My favorite character is non-greed possessed Ling
 
Yeah. I like Ling but he's not my favorite. I had yet another dream about him last night for some reason...

Anyway. I'm making another Fullmetal Alchemist flipnote, and I was wanting an opinion, so... does anyone have an idea on what Pokemon Maes Hughes should be? I'm doing a Flipnote with the song "Ready Steady Go" from the original anime, but I was going to include Hughes as a Pokemon and didn't have any idea what he should be. xD Does anyone else have an idea?
