Sudden indellible urge to watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Tairanosaur
So I'm going to watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
ᴍᴇ? ɢᴏɴɢᴀɢᴀ
do the thing
Tairanosaur
I am doing the thing
Tairanosaur
God this series is so fucking good. How is it so fucking good, really
oldbadpoetry
I need to watch. I've heard lots of really good things.
Tairanosaur
IT'S SO GOOD
Tairanosaur
The plotting, the character development, the world building, the fights
oldbadpoetry
Where do you watch it?
Tairanosaur
I own the DVDs
Tairanosaur
It used to be on Netflix - they took it off like a year and a half ago, I don't know if it's back on
鋼の錬金術師
Tairanosaur
OOh they got it back! You can watch it there!
Tairanosaur
oldbadpoetry : For the record, they started making an anime series when the manga was still pretty new, and with the creator's blessing went off on their own direction after they hit the point the manga was at, and that's the one called just FMA
oldbadpoetry
Awesome! I will add it to my list
Tairanosaur
It's a good show, but Brotherhood is the one that follows the manga much more closely, only cutting out a few small side parts to save time, and I much prefer it. But FMA:B does sort of gloss over some of the early stuff since it was in the first anime to get to the new stuff, so it's worth it to watch that as well
Tairanosaur
They don't start diverging until... 鋼の錬金術師 when does FMA outrun the manga?
鋼の錬金術師
hahaha
鋼の錬金術師
Uh, well
Tairanosaur
I know I know XD
鋼の錬金術師
They diverge pretty early. Around the Tucker arch, which is the first handfull of episodes
鋼の錬金術師
Even then there are a lot of changes in those archs
Tairanosaur
Yeah but they both have the Scar fight and meeting Marcoh etc
Tairanosaur
I'd say after the Fifth Labs?
鋼の錬金術師
The charcters look the same, have the same names, but they are very different in each series
鋼の錬金術師
鋼の錬金術師
I only watched the '03 anime through once, so I'm not the most familiar with it
Tairanosaur
I never actually got to finish it
鋼の錬金術師
You should, just for how crack-tastic it is
鋼の錬金術師
I made it more fun by writing down mangahood character reactions to the '03
Tairanosaur
I saw most of it, and I actually saw all of Conqueror of Shambala and whoo boy
鋼の錬金術師
I might do that again after my test of doom (thinking)
鋼の錬金術師
I saw Conquerer too and I was...entertained
Tairanosaur
THE GIANT SNAKE IN THE CEILING
鋼の錬金術師
Mostly because I was trying to watch it through my Ed muse and he was the whole fucking time
鋼の錬金術師
I think that snake was Envy iirc
Tairanosaur
I think so yeah
鋼の錬金術師
The person I watched it with, who was intimately familiar with '03 has been completely absent from plurk for a while and idk what happened to them
Tairanosaur
radiantly come join the party XD
Tairanosaur
Here I have a replacement for you Malia meet Jodie ᴍᴇ? ɢᴏɴɢᴀɢᴀ
鋼の錬金術師
From what I gather, if you watch the '03 anime first, you have a better chance of coming out liking it
鋼の錬金術師
I do not like it, but I read the manga first. I still think it has its merits though
Tairanosaur
Yeah, same, I started with the manga and stuck with the manga
鋼の錬金術師
Tairanosaur
I have all the manga
鋼の錬金術師
I have it all in English and Japanese
Tairanosaur
we are nerds
鋼の錬金術師
the best nerds
Tairanosaur
maybe one day I'll actually rp Izumi
鋼の錬金術師
IZUMI
鋼の錬金術師
If you ever wanna do something with her let me know and I'll torture my Ed
Tairanosaur
I've had her journal FOR-EV-ER but god she's hard to do stuff with
鋼の錬金術師
That's fair
Tairanosaur
Also this is kind of like the original Star Wars for me?
Tairanosaur
In that for me they're so perfect that I don't really want to change them
ᴍᴇ? ɢᴏɴɢᴀɢᴀ
/SLAMS OPEN THE DOOR
DID SOMEONE MENTION 2003 ADAPTATION?
ᴍᴇ? ɢᴏɴɢᴀɢᴀ
cause I am here for that
Tairanosaur
I KNOW YOU ARE MEET MALIA
鋼の錬金術師
HI THERE I'M MALIA
𝒻𝓁🌺𝓌𝑒𝓇ʙᴇᴀʀ
/is summoned by FMA mentions
ᴍᴇ? ɢᴏɴɢᴀɢᴀ
WHAT UP. Hi, I'm rusty as fuck with FMA '03, but by god did I love it and all its fridge horror glory and I am all for seeing what was different about both series.
Tairanosaur
They're both on Netflix now, along with the live action movie from late last year
Tairanosaur
I need to watch that at least once. I've only seen on LA anime movie I thought was good, ever, but this could be entertaining and at least Al's armor looks cool
鋼の錬金術師
That movie
鋼の錬金術師
Don't watch it
鋼の錬金術師
It's awful
鋼の錬金術師
ᴍᴇ? ɢᴏɴɢᴀɢᴀ : YO~ If you wanna watch through both of them with me sometime, I am DOWN for that
Tairanosaur
See now I want to just for the trainwreck factor
Glitterfuck
The movie is beautiful but dire, also HI I'm here for all things FMA
Tairanosaur
HELLO TO YOU TOO
Tairanosaur
Yeah, the photos I saw at least looked like they were paying a lot of attention to sets and costumes, which I have to give them props for
鋼の錬金術師
That's about all they paid attention to tbh. They do look pretty
鋼の錬金術師
If you go into it knowing to expect a train-wreck of a story, you might very well enjoy it
Tairanosaur
I'll bring the popcorn
Glitterfuck
That's what I've told everyone that's asked me about it; go in expecting it to be awful and just enjoy how pretty it is
Tairanosaur
I mean, it's a LA anime movie. My standards are low
鋼の錬金術師
lol
ᴍᴇ? ɢᴏɴɢᴀɢᴀ
/slides back in here That sounds like a Task that would take a while, but I wouldn't mind like. Slow burning through it here and there. sob so many episodes
