I can't even pinpoint where the manga grabbed me the way it has. It might've been when I did the entire readthrough a few months ago, because as much as the first few volumes felt similar to the anime, it wasn't. What struck me at the very beginning was characterization. In several not so minor ways, Ed and Al are different characters than they are in the anime, and I never picked up on that until I started from Volume 1, Page 1. All I know is that I live for this point of the month, when the raw for the newest chapter is released. The last four months have been driving me insane, I wish it wasn't a once a month thing because I'm dyin' to know what Arakawa's planning!
Rewatching in dub has actually been the first time rewatching for some of these episodes, and I'm remembering a lot I'd forgotten.
If I didn't dislike what I've heard of the dub voices, I might've rewatched it on AS. I've watched, um, three and a half eps of the dub and .... yeah. I saw the episode where they met Dante (back in the mining town), one with Greed (when he and Ed got into a knockdown dragout), parts of some episode with Izumi and a portion of another.
