Do you think the reason for Brotherhood's popularity level is partially to blame for the original FMA anime having such deep connection and lust between the Elric brothers?

I don't know if either series' popularity was overly impacted by 03's seemingly unintentional queer baiting.

03 is kinda just Like That™, because it focused pretty heavily on character relations more than anything in that version, which, fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you wanna look at it, tended to err a bit on the homoerotic side in areas (the Conqueror of Shamballa movie in particular is an Experience), but I don't think that they meant it like that.

#fullmetal alchemist #Edward Elric #Alphonse Elric #also when I say Ed and Al are codependent I don't necessarily mean that in a romantic/incestuous way #Ed has a full-on meltdown and quite literally shuts down when Al takes off during the part where he's questioning if he's real or not #Ed canonically struggles to cope with Al being mad at him; that's not *healthy*#they spend basically every second together and when they are apart Ed's anxious about it basically the whole time #that is also not healthy #it's implied that basically one of the first things Ed does upon landing on Earth at the end of 03 is find Earth's version of Alphonse #and then he spends a decent chunk of his time on Earth relaying stories about the *real* Alphonse to this new replacement version #Not. Healthy.#we all love their relationship and they are adorable but they are also wildly codependent #Ed noticeably more so than Al
