lolDrama. If that's what you're coming for, you might leave disappointed.

Got to Ep.3 of PMMM

"I'm finally happy!"

"Oh, damn"

*chomp*

 

That's going to become a pattern isn't it?

Apologies senpai!

 

 

 

Nowadays, every time I hear or read the word senpai, I'm reluctantly reminded of this... thing...:

Expect more awesomesauce to come. Seriously, you've barely scratched the surface. The last 12 to 10 episodes of FMA:B are amongst the greatest there are. And the outros included with the episodes for the fourth intro are sooooooo freaking bad-ass.

 

Remember, soon there will be a section of episodes that will have post-credit scenes. Look out for those later on.

 

The way it keep on improving and getting more depth and generally just have more of it in each episode is what i keep getting impressed by. Really something to look forward to each evening to end the day with some FMA:B

You and I are gonna get along reaaaaaaaaallllly   well if you ever chance upon Gibraltar xD

They really made up for it after that horrible first Fullmetal series that started to leave the manga and just created alot of stupid crap.

*SPOILERS FOR THOSE WATCHING BROTHERHOOD -- TRY NOT TO READ THE FOLLOWING POST*

Spoiler

Don't particularly like the original Full-Metal, partly because I found the ending to be pants-on-head-retarded and it ends on a cliff-hanger which is something I don't particularly appreciate as I prefer closure to a story. I also didn't like the characterization of the Homunculi, being somewhat sympathetic beings -- It doesn't sit right with them suddenly turn into a bunch of sympathetic-misunderstood bastards, and I suppose all the death and destruction they've cause were their way of handing the Brothers a fruit basket. In Brotherhood they are quite simply bad, as their origin would imply, they are not sentient lifeforms with a moral compass, they are the embodiment of some old fart's vices. But they are intriguing as villains, because they follow through with their goals with utmost determination and are fanatically dedicated to see it through -- They are also quite intimidating in almost any scene they are present. Admittedly Rose did get more depth in the original, but I didn't like it too much, alongside her disposition towards Edward being that of a romantic nature. The Winry & Edward felt a lot more sweet. Oh, and most importantly. No Ling! Heresy! He's not even in it, among many other characters. This is just a small fraction of the things I didn't like about the original in comparison to the others. 

 

I'll agree that Hughes death was a bigger deal in the original, i did, however, think the voice acting was a lot better in Brotherhood like his daughter's voice, yikes. Episode 5 or was it 4, it quite a depressing episode in Brotherhood and it stands attest to the fact that Brotherhood can still be dark when it needs to be.

 

I am of the opposite mindset.

I find the homonucli being sentient and more grey more interesting. I also found the FMA ending better than the Brotherhood one.

The "big, god-like bad wants to destroy the world, lets defat him" schtick is old.

Does The Boondocks count as anime?

Would have liked the ending if it hadn't ended on a cliff-hanger, needed to solved in a movie which wasn't very good anyway. Giving them the capabilities of compassion and love near end is what I'd consider to be schizophrenic in tone and 'old' as you put it. Having spent most of the anime deriving pleasure out of the suffering of humans comes off as a weakly implemented plot-twist -- Because sure! C omitting atrocities on a massive scale is just their way of showing affection and craving for a hug, right? The fact that they believe their own philosophy to a fanatical extent even at the end, "especially Wrath in Brotherhood, is what made them interesting there. A good villain doesn't need to 'excuse him/herself' for their actions, because otherwise it comes off as if they weren't doing what they believed. Sympathetic villains are rather overdone and it doesn't sit right with the Homunculi, given that they are artificially created monsters, born out of a bitter person/being's inner vices.

But we can all choose to view it the way we want.

I'd like to get started on watching some Miyazaki flicks too.

[TheChris92]

Unlike Shambhalla, the Brotherhood movie is stand-alone, you know like most of the DBZ movies excluding Battle of Gods. I'd say Miyazaki's My Neighbour Totoro is pretty damn good.

There's also a Cowboy Bebop film titled Knockin' on Heaven's Door, reference to a great song from Bob Dylan. I find the villain in that film to be quite intriguing and there's also a female-co-lead voiced by Hale in it. It's not as great as the show but I'd say it's good.

[Mr.House]

I've been rewatching Cowboy Bebop, just as fantastic as I remembered.

 

[TheChris92]

Well the Bebop film I mentioned above, Ghost in the Shell, Batman: Gotham Knight (Partly created and produced by the awesome Bruce Timm and people from the Japanese Studio 4), The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Tokyo Godfathers,The Castle of Cagliostro etc.

[TheChris92]

This is the Christmas one, no?

That's the one. Castle of Cagliostro is Miyazaki's debut, which is a film based on an anime called Lupin III, which is about a master detective, called Lupin who is based upon a french novel about a master detective carrying similar characteristics as Sherlock Holmes etc etc. It's a fun film for certain.

[TheChris92]

A master detective, eh?

 

I'll have to watch it then, I love those kinds of films :-)

 

But no one will hold a candle to my beloved L xD

Argh, my mistake - I got things confused there because of Sherlock Holmes. Nah, he's not a Master Detective, he's a master thief though. He's a bit like Sly Cooper, a thief with honour, and spends the film trying to stop a devious Count's counterfeiting business.  I got things confused because the character he's based upon is partly based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, but he too is a gentleman thief. The difference here is that usually Lupin is a very looney sort of thief like Cumberbatch's iteration of Sherlock. He's a bit mental. In Miyazaki's film he's a bit more mature though. 

 

Oh, and he's voiced by David Hayter.

Sorry for the late reply, but man, c'mon...
