fullmetal alchemisttttttt
diving into the fandom again while having the show on in the background.
watching the first opening a million times in a row because so good.
also amazed at the fact that apparently I'm not in the minority for preferring the dub for this one.
fma was the one manga series that I always spent days in Borders reading all of it without spending any money because I was poor and young.
Amazed when I finally got around to watching Brotherhood and actually seeing the Briggs arc.
anyways, will never stop praising how one of the universally best manga/anime ever was written by a woman.
fma:b rewatch
Anyways, forgot about how the villian in episode 1 was 100% not a villain. Fuck.
re: fma:b rewatch
also that black and white scene (with red only)
v good. v v good.
re: fma:b rewatch
i would die for you armstrong.
re: fma:b rewatch
skipping the past episode and liore.
because I actually watched a zillion clips from the origin story episode this morning
and because liore is trapped in my brain from the OG series and managa and this one and nfjdfjdsakfmsd

FUCK SHOU TUCKER TIME
re: fma:b rewatch
GET AWAY FROM NINA YOU FUCK
re: fma:b rewatch
god. they got the just unsettling enough voice for tucker.
re: fma:b rewatch
might also watch the OG FMA episode of Shou Tucker, because it was done MUCH better.
Can't even deny that.
re: fma:b rewatch
Ed being a good guy and deciding he needs to stretch right after Nina tells him her sob story.
re: fma:b rewatch
Hughes having family photos on his desk is so fucking wholesome.
re: fma:b rewatch
do LOVE that they edited Al's voice to have a metallic tin. Which is v good.
re: fma:b rewatch
"Daddy says he's going to play with Alex and me tomorrow!" - NIna.
FUCKI NO
re: fma:b rewatch
NO NO NO
re: fma:b rewatch
BIG BROTHER ED.
re: fma:b rewatch
thinking about the psychological trauma that Tucker caused, and how it shaped Ed's forward philosophy.
re: fma:b rewatch
Watched all the versions of shou tucker being an abomination.
now to continue the show.
re: fma:b rewatch
but the beauty of this show not just having realistic villains and multifaceted heros.
but also to not ignore the severe depravity of a world like this. and to show how that shit actively effects the children main characters and how they're allowed to cry but warned that this is only the tip of depravity
re: fma:b rewatch
ed's actually pain in hearing that nina is dead.
and Hawkeye being the best and putting her foot down and refusing to allow the children to see nina's dead body
re: fma:b rewatch
and them focusing on the trauma done to the children during the uprising in liore is v good.
re: fma:b rewatch
i love envy
re: fma:b rewatch
envy is canon nonbinary.
he/him pronouns, female voice actor.
re: fma:b rewatch
I know Scar is actually good.
but that doesn't mean that I'm not always on fucking edge during their initial fight when Scar almost kills Ed like 5 times.
re: fma:b rewatch
Ed legitimately looks like a child when Scar destroys his arm.
re: fma:b rewatch
screams about Home and Coffin being a theme and how brotherhood's big sin is omitting that
re: fma:b rewatch
wish they included the corrupt gold mine dude's scam
that shit was funny as hell in the manga.
but he comes back later. so i guess that's fine.
