They lost a high-profile hologram concert because they didn't feel like getting the projector that the concert holders requested, instead opting for an incompatible projector that they "thought was better."

Doesn’t anime matsuri only get as good guests as they do because they’re very close to the HQ of several localization companies in Texas, so American performers can literally just zip over for an easy check without having to travel?

Most American voice actors seemed to have wised up. Last year it was a Thing because Steve Blum and Mary McGlynn were supposed to go but cancelled when they were made aware of it being a giant trash fire.

I can't say that most of the best shonen is written by women, but I can say that everything popular enough for me to hear about that is written by a woman is generally in my favorites list.

To be fair, Olivier didn't even exist in the manga at the time the first anime started production, and first showed up the month before that anime ended. It did have Catherine Armstrong, though. No real excuses for the off-screen rape, though, goddamn that sucked.

The first series also had way too drat much filler early on. It took something like twenty episodes to get to the Lab 5 arc (the last major point before it became absolutely irreconcilable with the manga), while Brotherhood managed to do it in eight.

Waffleman_ posted:To be fair, Brotherhood did kinda speed through what the original anime had covered with the expectation that people had seen it. I've only ever seen Brotherhood. I watched it with my fiance who had seen the first series. He said that some of the stuff had more of an emotional impact because of the time spent on it in the original series. But I never would have noticed on my own. There was never a point when a storyline felt rushed, or where something that was meant to be impactful felt undermined by not having time to get to know a character. I'm sure some of the stuff that got more time was more impactful in the first series, but I don't feel like the series suffered for a new watcher by truncating some stuff.

To be honest, there are some elements of the first series that I preferred over Brotherhood and the manga. Namely, making the creation of homunculi tied into the sins of their creator, instead of Father just creating them to be his enforcers, giving Lust an actual character arc before she gets killed, and the emotional tension Ed and Al having to kill their mother again. I still do prefer the other versions in just about all other respects, though... in no small part because they don’t have a filler hell.

The only plot I recall noticing this for was the very first arc. Making the chimera father a two-parter really helped it land better imo. Otherwise good gosh the manga was so much more fun and fleshed out. Felt way more satisfied by the way it concluded vs the weird rear end "actually this is happening parallel to WW2" threads.

I really liked Brotherhood on a first watch, but when I rewatched it I sorta found myself disappointed with the small stuff they cut out. Like, FMA the manga had a lot of small comedic moments to help relieve the tension, but Brotherhood removed a lot of that to It's still a great anime, and some anime-only additions (Armstrong thanking Hohenheim and commending his sons) make a big impact, and the intersplicing of scenes with ED fade ins is so goddamn hype at times (Al getting ready to face off against Kimblee is so good), but all in all, I'd still consider the original manga to be slightly superior. As for the 1st anime, I don't have any strong opinions because I never finished it. Also because I was watching a pirated poorly translated DVD I bought off Pacific Mall, where every instance of Fullmetal Alchemist was replaced with SQUARE ENIX, among other travesties.

The first anime is worth a watch if you have it via netflix if only for the progressively more  plot twists, but absolutely don’t spend money on it and agreed that manga > brotherhood overallit’s also impressive how thoroughly the 2003 anime manages to remove all agency from or otherwise reduce to background characters literally every strong female character over the course of the series+movie, that particular aspect probably dovetails with the OG writer backing off to work on the manga in hindsight

Plot elements in FMA 03 seem to be largely decided by asking "What would cause Ed to make this face?" and then doing that.

It's the little details that make me so annoyed at FMA 03. Like the time they took a preexisting serial killer character, decided he wasn't menacing enough, and then made him a cross-dresser! Wow. Mustang was a participant in an ethnic cleansing in all versions of the series but what actually made him angsty in 03 was the time he killed two white (or... Amestrian, anyway) people.

I have deleted this post. It was unclear which side of this I was on due to my poor wording. I did not consider the ramifications of describing Vic's victims as accusers. I meant no malice and did not intend to slur his victims, but I understand why it came across that way. I believe Vic's victims. I am sorry.

Bob Socko posted:I’ve somehow managed to get blocked on Twitter by the lawyers for the accusers. I’ve never tweeted about the case and think what Vic did was wrong. Have they built block lists based on who people follow, and I managed to follow the wrong person at some point? Seems like overkill, but then again, I imagine they’re getting harassed by thousands of people. Vic's the accuser, not the defendant.
