timepiececlockIt's odd. FMA has to be the first fandom I have where I neither ship any pairings nor personally lust for any character.
And yet, this does not both me at all. Because I love all the characters, collectively. It's collective, all-encompassing love.
Maybe it's the pain of this show. The angst. Something about it demands that I give them hugs, forever and ever, because they need it so badly.
How am I going to survive now that I'll have to wait a week before each new episode comes out? I'll go mad!
And yet, even though there's only 9 episodes left, I can feel the story coming to and end. Things are all starting to come together, to got back to the start. It's beautiful and painful and gut-wrenching at the same time.
When this hits Adult Swim in October, it will be like nothing they've ever experienced in fan reaction. No more bickering between insane Bebop and InuYasha fans on their boards. No...all will be converted. This show is a tsunami waiting to drop over the heads of hundreds of thousands or millions of Western anime fans.
Beware the Full Metal Alchemist fan madness. It is coming.
And come the end of this year, there will be a million people crying in front of their tv at least every other week.
