#FMA live action spoilers

[the-elric-brothers]

Mod Post And Rules

The general idea of this blog is that I’ll roleplay the Elric brothers from Fullmetal Alchemist! If Edward types something, it’ll be in red. For Alphonse, it’s blue.

Here’s how it works. Before you type your question or message in the ask box, first tell me where in which series you are if you haven’t finished it, like this:

(Brotherhood, episode 46)

Hey, Alphonse! [ask continued here]

Another example:

(fma ‘03, episode 37)

one thing i’ve always wanted to know, Ed, is… [ask continues]

I’ll make sure to go back and review that episode so that I don’t say anything to spoil what lies ahead for you. Make sure to enter the last episode you watched, not the one you’ll watch next. If you don’t enter anything in parentheses, I’ll assume you’ve seen all of it and you may receive spoilers. If you don’t include series specifications, I’ll assume it’s Brotherhood. For full length film asks, just type the name of the film. Please note that the Conquerers of Shamballa film is a sequel of sorts to ‘03, so if you ask for that film’s timeline, I’m going to assume you’ve seen ‘03 in it’s entirety. I can’t write for it otherwise.

If you want, like I did in the examples, you can specify who you want to respond to you, or who the question is directed at. If you don’t want to, that’s fine! Your response will still come from a brother, you just won’t know which one. :)

Rules and tags below the cut! <3

Here’s all of the FMA content I’ve engaged with and will write for:

• Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

• Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (2009)

• Fullmetal Alchemist: Conquerers of Shamballa (2005)

• All three Fullmetal Alchemist live action films

Media I have not engaged with yet or cannot write for, for other reasons:

• The FMA manga

• The special episodes or shorts

• Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star Of Milos (2011)

Blog and ask rules/notes:

• SFW asks and interaction only - violence is fine though, of course. The world of FMA is basically built around violence.

• I’ve given instructions and tags so that you can avoid spoilers, so I can’t take responsibility or hate for spoiling things.

• It’s hard for me to read text with typing quirks and baby talk, so I ask that you please don’t use those. I’m very sorry.

• You may send in asks as another canonical character, but not the brothers. Please remember to keep these in line with the SFW rule as you would any other ask.

Tagging system:

#fma - FMA ‘03 series asks

#fmab - FMA Brotherhood asks

#fma cos - Conquerers of Shamballa asks

#fma live 1 - FMA first live action film asks*

#fma live 2 - FMA second live action film asks*

#fma live 3 - FMA third live action film asks*

#from edward - asks answered by Edward

#from alphonse - asks answered by Alphonse

#from mod - anything from me, not in roleplay character

#fanfiction - any fanfiction about FMA, either from me or someone else

*please note that the live action films build on each other, so asks placed in the second film will contain spoilers for the first film as well, and same with the third film: spoilers for all three films. There’s really no way to avoid this. The only reason they’re tagged separately is so that if you haven’t seen one of the films, you can avoid that film’s tag and view the one(s) before it.

Here’s the next list about the more mature and dark animes I like :)

Top 5 Darker Anime

5. FMA Brotherhood - To be honest, I think I enjoy the comedy more than the drama but it’s still an amazing and engaging story. I love the brother’s journey together and eventually getting the happy ending they deserved. (Sorry, spoiler)

4. Black Butler - I originally avoided this show due to the pedophilia. But soon I started loving everything else about it, and now I’m looking forward to what’s coming up in the new season.

3. School Live! - Don’t let the cute art style fool you. It’s actually a zombie apocalypse story but still manages to have heart. Ngl this anime is the first in a while to make me bawl, so a win for that. Hopefully I can soon get the manga to see the rest of the story unfold.

2. Death Note - The first dark anime I really got into; thanks to 2020. Everything from the characters, the music and the character driven story had me on the edge of my seat. If there are some who wanna try out an engaging, thought-provoking show, I will openly recommend this one.

1.Attack on Titan - Isn’t it obvious? I just can’t help myself with this show! Everything I mentioned about Death Note is turned up higher within AOT. Surely I’m not a fan of season 4, but it’s still an intense ride of action, horror, growth and most of all… the price for freedom. My love for it will never go away.

fma live action spoilers:

I think they did it

I think they managed to leave ed and winry open to platonic interpretation

no forced blushing or family photos with children

THANK YOU

-

and I think roy's blindness was left up to interpretation too. like there wasn't any scene of marcoh giving him the philosopher's stone

What are your thoughts on the Trigun reboot?

the big tl;dr is that i'm enjoying it a lot!! there are a couple things that i'm like, not suuuuper thrilled about but overall: it's a yes from me!

(for clarity, i was a huuuuuge fan of the '98 anime and watched it with my mom as a kid! i read trimax later in life and adored that, and now the og anime is like. fine?? but comparatively falls flat for me now as an adult in my 30s. i've rewatched the anime only once as an adult but i've reread trimax uhhhhh three times in the past year alone lolol)

i'm gonna bullet point this bc that's just how my brain works best:

i love the animation! there have been a few instances where it felt off, but overall it's been a feast for my eyeballs

I'M SORRY BUT I LOVE THE NEW VASH DESIGN transmasc icon, he's perfect. i am absolutely not biased, ignore my undercut--

also it updated his look for the 2000s?? the broomhead was a Look in the 90s but it's so dated now i'm SORRY LMAO

also who out here is making hair gel on this fucking desert planet, i s2g,

the inclusion of roberto at first i was kinda ??? about but i quickly adjusted to him, esp as he started throwing soon-to-be-dead-mentor flags all over the fucking place. he cracks me up but i'm legit just waiting at this point for him to die to further meryl's development and to pass the torch derringer on to her

i do hope millie makes an appearance for meryl (so they can be girlfriends, as is only right) but her absence really doesn't break trigun for me bc uhhhh y'all, her and meryl have relatively minor roles in trimax and straight up disappear for like, volumes at a time

also i really hated her random romance with wolfwood in the 98 anime even as a kid and i will never forgive it for that

but ymmv!!!

i do think the pacing is a bit fast and i wish they either had longer episodes or more episodes to let it breathe a little! not entirely plot-wise because i actually like the reveals so far we've gotten because it's keeping even long time fans guessing for what's coming, but just for the relationships between the characters

like i would like more casual interactions between the four protags, and more vash & wolfwood getting to know each other before we jumped right to them butting heads so aggressively over morality and killing

but i do love that it also heavily showcases the consequences of vash's actions (or inaction)

because as meryl pointed out during the nebraska fight, he isn't actually doing anyone a kindness, he's just running away from pain

i am also sad that they took wolfwood AND livio's tits by the looks of it

rip 😔

also i am. not thrilled about elendira? i was really excited to see my wife on screen but instead they did that to her :(

ANYWAYS

i am curious about where the story is going to go!! because lost july hasn't happened yet but we're walking towards it, but when?

is it going to be mid-season? is it going to be the end of s1 if we're getting more than one season? will there be a time skip?

will [redacted manga spoilers] arrive?

will we get to see chronica and domina??

there's still SO much to cover, but i know they're mashing some things together (like jeneora rock was a couple different settings smashed into one, and it seems like the gung-ho guns and the eye of michael are even more woven together??) so we'll see but

I HAVE QUESTIONS

BUT YEAH like!!!! i am enjoying it a lot overall!! i have a few gripes with it but i am so fucking happy to be watching trigun again, and as much as i would adore a 1-to-1 trimax adaption like they did with fma, i am really enjoying it being a retelling because i genuinely don't know what's going to happen!! it's fun!! i'm having fun!!

also there's a really emo thought i had about all trigun adaptions just being different lives for everyone and they're just caught in a loop

history doesn't repeat but sometimes it rhymes

but!!

i also love the fact that it's screaming that it's a passion project. that people who love the source material are all working on it, with nightow. they're bringing back VAs for both japanese and english versions, fans are animating and voicing it, it's amazing and shows how much love is going into this series, and i'm so glad to be able to experience it again

(About the Alice in borderland) So I'm not the only one who thought so! I had read the manga before the season 2 came out and when I saw this arc, I wondered how they would cover the guy up. Everytime I thought that surely, they won't really put him naked, that would be too hard to cover... well imagine my surprise when watching the episode. Btw are you enjoying the new season so far?

uh spoilers i guess since its only been out for like a day but i'm already finished?

i don't like it as much as the first season, tbh. i kinda zoned out in the middle and don't remember what happened, which makes me think there was something up with the pacing. but also maybe i don't think you're supposed to watch an entire season of television in one sitting and while you're making jam, so maybe it was a me issue. what i liked about the first season is that they were able to disguise the fact that it is based on a manga relatively well when adapting the visual design. there are some visual design conventions that are common in manga character design that when adapted to live action just do not make sense logistically, and so it can be really obvious when you're watching something that has been adapted. i don't usually have a problem with that kind of thing, bc it usually happens in places where you would expect there to be whack ass clothing, so the fact that it looks weird isn't going to break immersion (ie like the fma adaptions etc). but i found the second season had way more trouble due to just the absurdity of some of the characters, especially with the return niragi. normally i don't really give a shit about weird costuming, but his post burns look is just. well. i thought he looked like someone airdropped in an anime character in the first season and i think it even more for this season. idk, i don't really think that it's a problem per se, it just took me out of it enough to remind me that it's an adaptation of a different media form and i think i would have preferred them to have been more uniform in adapting the character designs across the board at the expense of one being less 'canon' accurate, as opposed to having one that stands out very strongly despite looking 'accurate'.
