I Failed At Anime 2022

Endorph posted:

not really, it's better

I really like Brotherhood and the addition of music (especially that time the ED kicks in during the Al versus Kimbley fight) and the added Hohenheim scene at the end but I feel like I prefer the tone of the FMA manga better?

Like, the manga was good about inserting these sorta humorous bits in plenty of serious / tense scenes, but the show preserves the mood, I guess?

Like, the scene at the end of the series where Olivia is gloating about letting Scar go to give Mustang something worried about is played humorously in the manga but feels less so in Brotherhood.

It's a small thing, admittedly, but it's the kind of thing that I found funny in the manga and liked.

Oh wait were you talking about the two animes?

I was mainly speaking in context of the manga and the Brotherhood anime. I never finished the first anime.

If you must blink, do it now.
The original FMA adaptation is good up until around the time Greed shows up.

FMA: Brotherhood starts getting good when Greed shows up.

The FMA manga is good from start to finish.

Read the manga.

That mall was also where I got my Korean PS2 modded so I could play games from other regions. Cause I was living in Canada.

In light of being paid in a few hours for my services of last week, I have pre-ordered Anastasia -Love Laika ver-

She won't be in my possession for more than 3 1/2 months, but it was worth it. Now if I could just get a job overseas, that'd be great.

Hey at least he managed to do *something*, I should have killed myself years ago and I'm still just too much of a loving coward to do it or even to hurt myself like that, I've been feeling a bit more confident about it lately though so maybe this year, idk
