What else am I supposed to feel besides unending adoration?

Just thinking of how Scar sees himself in Alphonse, the little brother to an alchemically-brilliant older brother who was (more of) the mastermind behind a failed human transmutation to bring back a woman important to him. And when Al is about to be turned into a bomb, he doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice his own life to save Alphonse. And as he’s about to prepare the ritual that will kill one younger brother and save the other… Scar reflects on how much he misses his older brother and wished he could say that he loved him.

And it’s so much clearer that he wants to save Al because he has an older brother who is alive, that he can actually get back to and tell that he loves him. But for Scar, his older brother is dead; The only way they can reunite and exchange words is if… Scar himself died.

And then suddenly, maybe this was the ideal scenario, after all. Maybe this is really how it should’ve been, this is what Scar would want from the start; For two little brothers to reunite with their older brothers in their own way. And it’s like Scar is actually getting to do this for himself and not someone else, as he always had.

DON'T FORGET 0CT.3.10. !!!!

[sarcasticmirage]

i was watching COS and look at these parallels between scar (in lab 5) and ed (in the thule society)

interesting how in 03 the scene is scar realizing what ed has been complicit in, and in COS it's ed realizing what alphons has been complicit in.

Clip for reference, this is the third episode in the series and one I personally liked alot because of multiple reasons:

It just expands a bit more on the boys earlier life and shows them being children and enjoying alchemy. It's a big contrast to how things are later, it's a needed contrast to show how messed up it is for Ed and Al to be involved with the military, to have gone through such a horrible accident with something that they used to do for fun things like making a doll for their best friend.

Winry also shows how some people outside of alchemists view alchemy. This is so necessary because fma especially fma 03 tries to ground itself to reality, exploring how real people think and feel, and despite alchemy in their world being said to be scientific, in our perspective it's not, and through winry we the audience have that link, that even to people in the anime, alchemy is still kinda Incomprehensible, scary and basically magic.

Brotherhood and the Manga doesn't mention Ishval until a bit later and I think that kinda sucks, because showing winry mourning the loss of her parents in the third episode , tells us early on that something bad happened and that the characters are aware, but at the same time don't know the exact details. I like that 03 shows the war through so many different perspectives and not just the perspective of the guilty war criminals were meant to sympathize with like in the Manga... Because honestly scar killing those state alchemists shouldn't have been a big deal because if justice existed, those alchemists would've been killed or put on trial for their crimes anyway, they just had an extended death penalty and scar just finished the deed.

And just... Showing mostly the soldiers perspective sorta demonizes scar and makes his trauma seem less significant which pissed me off, because It makes you have more sympathy for the people who are feeling guilty after committing the inhumane crime instead of the people actually hurt by the crime.

The Ishvalans have suffered greatly and are still suffering because no way is Amestris fixing its racism in just one day because a new Führer said so. They've gone through shit for years.

I just think showing us the war through the ishvalans perspective would make us care more about the ishvalans.

(one that's not just scar and that old lady but have us actually follow a character for a flashback seeing how much their life got torn to pieces!!)

additionally show us how much the actions of the military character's suck and that while they have their good moments they still suck.

(side tangent: I just find it gross how they keep on saying they want to be Führer.. Ya know still keeping the military dictatorship instead of saying stuff like, "oh I want to weaken how much control the military has on major political decisions in the country so that shit like Ishval can't happen just because some loser dictator said so." Saying Mustang becoming Führer will fix the country is so shit because it ignores the actual issue. You're just essentially saying that the dictatorship is suddenly fine now just because a "nice guy" is now in charge.)

we need to do a study on the overlap between fma 2003 fans and lesbians. what is it about 03 that drives us all to it like moths to a flame.

ep 38-42 of fma 03 has very obvious budget and time issues to the point of silliness at times and yet it might be one of the strongest and thematically focused span of anime episodes ive seen since fucking utena
