Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've only seen teh Anime and ahve up to vol. 5 of the manga. I'm hopin to get the movie that's comin out in October--which I've beenw aitin exactly a year for.

I like Roy Mustang's POWER!!! The power of fire, which well turn into EXPLOSIONS!!!!! I LOVE POWER!!!!!! twisted twisted twisted twisted

I've gotten through book 8, and a different character is named Wrath. There's a different Sloth, as well, and Pride hasn't been shown as of book 8.

This is my all time favorite anime and manga! heart Despite it being really depressing at times, the plotline is very well-written, and the characters are well-developed, to the point where you even start to feel sorry for the homunculi.

My favorite character is... not Ed! It's actually Al, probably because I can draw similarities between Al and myself. For the poll, I'd have to say Wrath, although a few other homunculi are close.

My favorite is Envy mrgreen

I'm not gonna say who's my favorite character 'cuz they're all pretty good. I wanted to bring up a point about the anime version 'cuz I've been rewatching it with a friend (it's his first time). So...

Did anyone notice the discrepancy with Pride/King Bradley in the first half of the series. It's in the episode after Dr. Marcoh has been taken into "protective" custody by King Bradley and Mustang admits to him that he'd always known about Marcoh. After Mustang leaves, King Bradley thinks to himself, "Give it up Mustang, the philosopher's stone doesn't exist." But that's exactly what the homunculi are after!

Any thoughts?

I have not gotten to read the manga just yet, however, I'm usually one for getting the corresponding manga to the anime, and vice versa [it also depends on which dubbing company has licensed the anime smile ].

The anime, actually, I have just gotten finished watching yesterday [I collect the dvds rather than worrying about missing episodes on tv] and while I've got Conqueror of Shamballa left, I'm..very impressed by it all, as a whole.

It's an amazing storyline, teaching the values of what is precious in life, in learning how to trust, forgive, and fight for what is important to oneself. The underdog going up against the big guns. Humorous, dramatic, and yet heart-warming. I was a fan from the get go- the voices are wonderful [in BOTH Japanese and English!] and the characters are so enigmatic and believable.

I definitely had my favorites, and almost in no particular order, all for different reasons..

Roy Mustang- He's serious, dark, and seems to play both sides yet definitely is in this for the aid of the Elric brothers..

Alphonse Elric- The voice of wisdom, the glue which holds he and Edward together, the real reason that his older brother is so driven. So very innocent and small despite his soul's attachment to a massive suit of armor..then he just gets wickedly brave near the end, which rocked.

Maes Hughes- He was a BIG part in this story, and it irked me so much that Envy murdered him wearing the face of Hughes' wife. What a guy- so, so committed to his work, and a great family man with that adoration for his wife and daughter...it was hard not to like him.

Greed- The BEST of the Homonculi. Come on- really, it was Greed who paved the way for Ed, giving him the secrets of how to defeat the rest of his kind- giving him that inkling of what the Homonculi really are. Not to mention, he really just wanted nothing to do with the rest of his kind..he just wanted to live.

Lust- I felt for her, and I can't tell which episode it was really, perhaps the one where she begins to dredge up the memories of the woman she was supposed to be.. but I KNEW that when the end came around, Lust was going to be on the side of the Elrics.

Winry Rockbell- A piece of work, but she's had it tough, and I love how she constantly fidgeted over Ed. It's pretty obvious how she feels about him. Plus, a chick who knows her stuff about mechanics is pretty kick-a**.
