Liore is SUCH a good introduction to fma that every time I watch brotherhood and it opens on that random guy with the water alchemy trying to kill the fuhrer I want to scream. like I understand the pacing of the first cour is weak because they're trying to rush to the point where it diverges from fma03 more quickly... but why waste some of that time inventing an anime-original intro episode that doesn't do as good a job as what they already had? grrrr

#liore is just good at establishing the world #it immediately juxtaposes alchemy with cornello's 'miracles' to give you an idea of how alchemy is perceived #like it looks like magic to us but it's a science! it looks like a miracle but it's working from clear rules #and rose !! her wanting to bring her boyfriend back is the perfect way to introduce the elrics' backstory #she's someone that still hopes and hasn't made the same mistake yet #what is ice and steam guy accomplishing that liore doesn't?#besides introducing the military/central which will already come up later when they get back anyway #it makes no senseeeeeee #reilly.txt #fullmetal alchemist
