timepiececlockOh my god. Full Metal Alchemist is doing a BTVS!Superstar or Storyteller-like episode! And it's all about Roy Mustang and his underlings!
::falls yet again in love with this show::
EDIT: OH My God! I love this show! I love this show! This might in fact be the very best anime I have seen. It's better than Cowboy Bebop and Trigun and Naruto and FLCL and Fruits Basket and, if it has a good ending... well if it has a good ending, it will even rise above Escaflowne in my mind.
::does happy dance::
And how can I even talk about how much I love the characters? The military characters, Ed and Al, the Ishbal people, the Homunculous, the millions of side characters each well-developed beyond my greatest expectations...
I love this show so much.
Go Mustang! Go Sciezska! Did Armstrong just wink at him at the end? I think he did. He winked at him. OOooh.... this Archer person doesn't know what kind of force he's up against here. Roy has a plan, and his people's loyalty and his loyalty to that plan were cemented by Hughes's death... oh this is going to be wicked. I'm so excited.
Plus, how cool was that "Flame Alchemist" mock title at the beginning? ::snicker::
Aside from that, I want to hug Winry. How to make her understand that Mustang looks at killing her parents as one of the worst things he ever did, and that he almost commited suicide afterward? How to tell her that he was young and stupid and afraid like kids in a war are and he didn't know how to not follow orders? How make her see beyond the confident ambitious popular front he presents to the horrible shame he feels inside at his actions?
She can't see that, because she's young too. And she can't see (yet) that Ed is on his way to becoming exactly like Roy, and is over half-way there already.
