[FMA] Watching it for the first time. Why does it give me Attack on Titans feels?
SᏋPH
They're adorable though. I really like the series already.
kikibug13
which one are you watching
SᏋPH
I can see why people like Mustang too.... and he keeps reminding me of Levi.
SᏋPH
Starting with the original. My friend says I need some background before watching Brotherhood.
kikibug13
I... had 0 trouble with Brotherhood directly tbh
SᏋPH
Watching so many old anime right now that I've missed when I was young.
kikibug13
and knowing which characters they changed in the earlier anime, I'm glad I didn't try that
SᏋPH
I don't mind. The original seems pretty good too.
kikibug13
Oh, it's good, it's just not... the story that was meant to be told
kikibug13
since that story wasn't published fully yet
SᏋPH
Yeah... I think we're going to swtich over half way or something.
kikibug13
(which is why I don't call it original, because the original is the manga and it deviates...)
SᏋPH
I'm letting my friend decide since we're watching it together.
kikibug13
hehe

I finally started on Brotherhood just this past week, having had no FMA exposure because the kids who were into it when I was in school were obnoxious
lucky☂terrarium
I’m really enjoying it, but based on some of the themes, I’m also really glad I waited until I was older to get into it.
kikibug13
It's good but yes, mature is good
SᏋPH
I concur with that. There's a lot of mature themes I wouldn't have appreciated As much. it's so true that anime aren't for kids.
lucky☂terrarium
Yeah, the scene where Roy is discussing the true cost of returning the country to democracy regarding his own future was like.... wow
lucky☂terrarium
Definitely wouldn’t have had as much impact if I read it when I was 15
SᏋPH
haven't watched brotherhood yet, so can't resonate. But with the original, there's a lot about sacrifice already.
