FMA timeline question!
Oct. 26th, 2005 05:20 pmI jsut had a thought. I've been laboring under a miscomprehension about the timelines/ages for the FMA characters in the anime v. the movie.
Ed's not 18 in the movie, he's 20-21. Al's not 12, he's 14-15. (and looks it.)
I know the movie takes place two years after the end of the anime. But I (and others) have forgotten the date we get at the end of episode 51, in the scene with Hohenheim in the market. Two-three years pass between the stuff with the zepplins and then the date of the scene in the market. Then another two years have to pass to get the date we have for the movie. Think about it.
Which means it's also been 4-5 years for the FMA characters too, like Mustang and Hawkeye and Armstrong.
Because "2 years after the end of the anime" means literally 2 years after the END of the anime.
Huh.
If I'm wrong, explain the whole date thing to me.
( unless....(spoilery for episode 51) )
