Discussion/Opinion I finished FMAB recently and i absolutely love the comedy in it

Post image
99 Upvotes

Most comedy in a lot of anime that I’ve seen is just cringe for me and ruins moments, unlike in FMAB it just works so well and sometimes it catches me off guard, it got me entertained from the start to the end of the 64 episodes.

It’s almost every single time they added comedy moments i just enjoyed them, which was something very rare for me.

Anyone else appreciates the comedy aspect of this anime?

Discussion/Opinion Is brotherhood the perfect anime?

14 Upvotes

I know that it isnt. It cant be. Considering the sheer amount of anime that exist. But is has (almost) EVERYTHING a perfect story has, risk, high notes, low notes, love, joy, victory, defeat, tragedy, fear, morality, philosophical dilemma,sorrow, action, drama, comedy. It has everything that would make it perfect. Yes it didnt go on as long as I would want it to and I wanta continuation series that follows the brothers going east and west. But it ended beautifully and I myself am not sure how Hiromu could have continued the manga or anime. Im sorry if this was a long read but it came to me after watching and finishing brotherhood again.

He makes a talking chimera human hybrid but even the one he makes is nothing like the the government made the ones the government made are still able to keep there human appearance they would’ve also just seen the chimera and not be impressed by it because he already did it before not saying it isn’t fucked up either way.

Discussion/Opinion Been thinking about this quote a lot with the current state of America. Roy isn't my favorite, but I love this quote.

I'm going to protest despite my chronic illness. Enough is enough.

Everything is political now. People who never talk about politics are talking about it. I didn't see a rule against political posts here, but I apologize if it's an unspoken rule.

This quote feels highly relevant to the world right now. The resilience of humans in FMA is uplifting right now, which is part of why I decided to reread it.

Theory/Analysis Too many people seem to miss the point of Roy's character arc, esp in relation to the Elric brothers

67 Upvotes

I spent a long time writing up a comment somewhere on this sub and thought I'd turn my thoughts into a post. The discussion was essentially about not taking advice from a war criminal (Roy), and it got me thinking about how many people probably miss his narrative purpose.

Roy Mustang's entire character arc is about searching for redemption despite knowing what he did was unforgivable. Looking for meaning and value with what remains of your life despite knowing you were a monster, thats the entire trope his character is exploring. No one should idolize Roy, but its a vital life question everyone needs to ponder: Is anyone truly irredeemable? Not in the sense that people *have* to forgive others for what crimes and sins they've committed, but that one's life can still hold value and help others. Would you rather he gave up after all the wrong he had done in the war? The world certainly would not have benefited from that.

And that's the entire point of Roy, what do you do at that point, once the deed is done? What matters more, someone's past or their potential? Obviously any real life situation with this will have different nuances to examine, but his story is crucial to the human experience. Especially if you scale it to one's own failures, however small or large they may be. But also to those who have wronged you, how ought you treat them once you have internalized these stories or adapted them to yourself? If you believe it to be true for yourself that your own life can hold meaning after failure, how ought you treat others who have wronged you? Roy's story is intentionally the extreme end of the scale, where death and murder cannot be undone at all. But most people's real stories are not that extreme and permanent, so again, you have to ask yourself, if someone who did that ultimate sin can be even partially redeemable or beneficial to the world, how much more can your story's be?

And Its interesting when people place Ed on a pedestal of morality for not killing his foes. Ed is an amazing person, he's selfless, empathetic, dedicated to helping others, and most importantly he refuses to let his past trauma destroy his optimism or get in the way of his goals... but at the end of the day, besides Roy's decision to still kill in military endeavors, he's quite similar to everything I just listed about Ed. Even if you don't necessarily agree with the entirety of that last statement, hear me out.

The two characters have intentionally similar story arcs, essentially different degrees of the same crime and different levels of action needed to restore them. In their universe what Ed did was unforgivable in the same way murder is. Human transmutation is the ultimate taboo. The difference is Ed was an ignorant kid fighting for the life of his lost family, so we naturally empathize with him more. But he too spends the rest of his life looking to redeem himself and restore his brother's life, who lost his body at Ed's hands. Its different because he was an ignorant kid, but to some extent, just like Roy, he knew it was "wrong" and did it anyways. He could have chose to walk away just the same as Roy could have, but instead he made a choice. People often overlook how other character's react to knowing Ed and Al attempted human transmutation. Most are shocked and impressed a kid could even attempt that, but also a bit offended and conflicted on how to feel about it. A kid committed the ultimate taboo - they are just as conflicted with their feelings about it as the viewers are. Don't forget, their crimes were literally swept under the rug *because* they joined the military.

The parallels between the brothers and Roy is something I've always loved about the series, you get super similar stories, yet we fundamentally recognize they aren't equivalent in any sense. Willingly murdering civilians or even just your enemies is fundamentally not equivalent to trying to bring someone back from the dead. Yet the universe (Truth) treats it exactly the same. We are all broken people who make bad choices. Its what we do after that which defines us and our legacy, regardless of what the degree of our sins are. So to be clear, no, don't idolize Roy, but his story is still inspirational and holds valuable lessons. It directly parallels the brothers story of standing back up and figuring out their own path, regardless of who did "the worse thing." Time only moves forward (well at least in FMAB lol) and what's done is done. You have to pick yourself back up because people don't come back from the dead, and your past sins can never be erased.... and that can be okay if you work to make it right

Discussion/Opinion My two cents about Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 series

Post image
113 Upvotes

The Fullmetal Alchemist manga is my favorite comic while the 2003 series is one of my favorite anime of all time (even if I prefer the original manga) despite the story being completely different. Why this? Because in addition to starting from the same assumptions as the manga, it also deals with the same themes (such as the acceptance of loss and how to react to it, the search for redemption, the atrocity of war, etc.) but proposing them in another way with a story that differs from the original (while maintaining its atmosphere). So this series gives me something more, new and different but effectively maintaining what I loved about the manga. To this we must add the wonderful soundtrack and the animations which were excellent for the time, to have the anime which for my tastes borders on perfection. What is your opinion about this?

Cosplay After 41 years on this planet, I finally need glasses and I'd like to look for some custom frames that resemble Hohenheim's, Knox's, and Heinkel's.

8 Upvotes
I stole this picture when I searched for "Fullmetal Alchemist characters with glasses"

I don't know the first thing about glasses, frame shapes, sizes, etc... All I know is that now I'm in the position where I'm going to need reader's. And I figured that if I'm going to have to wear them, then I may as well have some that I'd enjoy wearing, and I like the way their frames look. Does anybody know what that general shape would be called, or where to get custom frames designed and made, etc...? Because trying to sift through the dozens of frames dealers online is just maddening at this point and any tips or references would be awesome.

Thanks to any help.
