Full Metal Alchemist Club

Hmmm.... Good point. I dunno. Maybe they just didn't think it through.

Actually, we still don't know what the Gate/the Truth/the God thing is doing with Al's body. It's just there. Unless, of course, I am missing something again.
 
Attempting to revive discussion...

Here, I found this. It compares aspects of FMA (Anime) to several aspects of HP. It's fairly interesting and makes sense. Be warned, spoilers for books 1-5 and episodes 26-51.
 
Welcome aboard? This place has kind of died, but maybe we can bring it back to life now, who knows. xD;
 
More members.

That means me. :D IMPORTANT NOTE: I am only familiar with FMA: Brotherhood, so pretty much everything I say is referring to Brotherhood.


1. Who is your favorite character? ~ Lust, but I also like Lan Fan, Uber Awesomesauce 2nd Lieutenant Maria Ross, Zampano, Olivier (kind of) and Dorchet/Dolcetto.
2. Anime or manga? Why? ~ Manga... I think just because it's easier to draw from a book. :3
3. Seen any good fanart or fics lately? Share please! ~ Unfortunately, no.
4. Least favorite character? ~ Pretty much any Homunculus who's not one of the L.E.G. (Lust - Envy - Gluttony)
5. Have you seen The Movie? What did you think? ~ Nope.

EDIT: I made this using a screenshot from episode 13.

Also, Darksong says Dorchet's face looks different in the original FMA and now I'm scared. o.o'

1. Who is your favorite character? Envy. At least this is the only place I know of where there aren't at least two other Envy fans. XD (Although I could be wrong since I only looked through the first page.)
2. Anime or manga? Why? Manga. I still don't know what it was in the manga when Lin said that he fought Envy in the city, so I'm looking into it. Plus, whenever I talk about the anime, people think I'm talking about the original, when I've never even seen one minute of the original. All I know is that Envy wears purple and that Wrath is vastly different. And Lust is a complete hypocrite.
Also, I like the manga better because they totally ruined Envy's voice in the english Brotherhood DX
3. Seen any good fanart or fics lately? Share please! Nope. I have drawn Envy 11.5 times, though. The last time, I refused to do his face for some reason, so I only count it as half. o_O
4. Least favorite character? Kimblee and all of the Homunculi except the LEG (Lust Envy Gluttony), mentioned above by my sister). And Mustang was becoming a favorite
until he turned all Scar-like.
5. Have you seen The Movie? What did you think? Haven't seen it.

You know, it's kind of pointless to answer the question of liking the anime or the manga better if you've only seen Brotherhood. They're close enough.

Anyway, since Brotherhood is all the thing now, I'll talk about that. Did anyone else think the animation in episode 53 (?) was reeeally good, especially when Envy was freaking out and showing off his transformations? As much of a bastard she is, it's hard not to like him. With all her snarking and laughing.

I think it's interesting how he seems to be the most truly evil and monstrous, because she absolutely has no care or empathy for anyone except himself.

I also really liked how Sloth turned out to be the fastest Homunculus. It fits so perfectly with the idea of Sloth, ie, having the ability but deliberately choosing not to use it because you don't feel like it or it's a bother.
 
Ah, okay, so I looked around last night and so I found some of the old FMA anime, and Wrath is ADORABLE <3

I also saw the part where my avatar happens, but that's pretty much it.

BIG EDIT: I found Wrath's little bouncy thing... must have thought I looked through episode 46 when I actually didn't. But I'm still looking for the episode that has my avatar in it. And why Shou Tucker's head is upside down... o_O

I'm also totally addicted to shading my most recent drawing of Envy. :P I'll scan it. Eventually.

I then told my sister about it and she was both amused (by the fact that Sloth is a girl) and startled (since Dolcetto or Dorchet is a little different).

OK so now I'm going to look for more Envy references and for Wrath's bounciness.

And to answer Minnow's question, I kept telling Roy not to kill it XD and ironically we were talking about the Great Depression in Social Studies for the past few days... No, Envy.... ;^;

^ It's dubbed in America, but I think Funimation has the choice between dubbing and subbing, and I think we're up to Episode 12/3/4, I forget.

Uh I can has a join? o: I'm mostly a manga reader and holy fucking shit that last chapter.
 
Yeah. Here, the last one was 13 (my sister LOVED that one) and 14's coming upon us. I'm excited to see some of the Homunculi again. :D I think the ones we're seeing in episode 14 are Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth and Wrath. But I only ever use the first initials of the Homunculi's names. :P

I watched some more of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime... I was amused at Envy's tantrum in 32.Also, I think his (er, its) English voice fits better in the older anime, but since he (IT!) looks and acts different in Brotherhood, the voice doesn't fit as well in my opinion... Lust is awesome, though.
I need to teach myself that Envy is an it. :P
 
^Brotherhood's dubbing is up to 13 right now, but my DVR recording got deleted because there was a marathon of some other show that was set to record automatically. D: 14's next week though, and it's not all bad because the LEG shows up and Greed dies.
 
So uh. Ep. 14.

I remember staring at the screen and wondering why it was rated TV-MA. Of course Bradley/Wrath slashing the fuck out of everyone could have contributed to that, I dunno...!
 
My sister and I are blaming it on Bradley. But that was the first mature-rated thing we were ever willing to watch.... XD I'm excited for the new theme song and ending this week, as well as Ling, and Lan Fan. ~

Actually, there was someone in my sixth period class who was singing the bananaphone thing, and I actually went up to them and told them it was "Ling-Ling-Ling-Ling-Ling LanFanaphone." That was one of the puns on someone's sign-up back there that I saw when I was reading through the thread. xD

Also, I recently got all five volumes of the Fullmetal Alchemist novels. I finished the first one in a day and am about halfway through the second one. I'm wishing the Homunculi were in there. Too much Roy Mustang....
 
I fucking hated watching the Tucker arc again; the pain's worse when you know Nina and Alexander are gonna turn into a chimera. And retains Nina's brain.

Quick question; with Wrath, Pride and Sloth, which do you prefer guys? The anime or the manga versions? I'd much rather the anime versions, though that might just be because I never read the manga. That and Trisha!Sloth is rather sexy.
 
Wrath: Original Wrath from original FMA. Way more adorable than the other Wrath. D:
Pride: I don't really care much, since either way we have a Pride who I don't really like. :P
Sloth: I prefer Girl!Sloth. (At least that's what I call her...)
 
Same answers as Cryptica. Wrath is adorable...

But that's not the only reason I'm posting here. Cryptica showed me Everybody Edits, which is pretty much a fun blocky game where you're a smiley face and well, everybody can edit the room. However, there are also locked ones where you can only move around. But still, I was on an open and pretty much empty one. So I built myself a bit of a rope to get up in the middle of the ceiling...

...and built this.

This actually took shorter than I thought it would. Now I'm thanking Lust for being such a good reference.

Funny thing is, when my sister built a rope of up arrows to it, it got destroyed within minutes. So I'm glad I Printscreened when I did. XD

I need to watch brotherhood in English becaue I've been watching them all in Japanese on YouTube and it got to 13 and 13 got removed along with like all the others. Greed is better than Lust in my opinion, and Envy is a he only he has a female voice actor in the English and Japanese. Now after watching up to 12 in Brotherhood I went back and watched the regular series and noticed they made some changes in Brotherhood. Does anyone know why they did that?

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.
