FLIST YOU ARE THE *BEST*

[timepiececlock]

Especially octopedingenue, who informed me first and provided links. This is the first time I've ever watched anything for Fullmetal Alchemist in raw, un-subbed form. (Except movie trailers, which don't count.)

Hagaren OVAs... the last best dose of FMA canon I'll ever see... ::grabs with grubby hands:: MY SHOW! MY LOVE MY DARLING SHOW!

Chibi OVA: it was.... ADORABLE! I need subtitles! Now! I love how the various bits of dramatic music flared up whenever certain characters spoke. But you know what stuck in my mind the most? TRACK SUITS. Dude. Track suits! Also, Hawkeye wins x10.

Kids OVA: Roy! Almost makes me wish I was still RPing teenage Roy at fandomhigh. I hope whoever is takes advantage of this. ....Aaaaand he's woobying over his lost card game. Angst till the end, that's our boy Mustang.

...OMG Policeman Hughes! LOVE! SO MUCH LOOOOVE! ...why is he an adult when Roy's a teenager? Oh I DON'T CARE.

...AAAHAHHHHHH OLDER EDWARD AND HE LOOKS LIKE HOHENHEIM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! *DEAD.*

...and, in conclusion... I don't know WHAT the fuck that was about, but I love it so. And...octopedingenue I can't believe your META CRACK THEORY for FMA canon actually appears to be ...right. The verse is a strange and mysterious place, indeed.

State OVA: I have no words except...Roy crawling away on his hands and knees is the FUNNIEST. THING. EVER. ..and... KIMBLY MY EVIL LOVER, YOU'VE COME BACK TO ME. STILL CACKLING!

...oh wow. Was the mystery alchemist... US? The viewer? Did FMA make a Choose Your Own Adventure Self-Insertion OVA?!!!. That's whacked. I love my show.

As someone said before me and surely someone will say after me.... FMA you are the only, only one.

I am going to make like fifty Chibi Hawkeye icons. Also some Chibi Roy icons, to match my keychain.

If no other theories I have ever subscribed to in any fandom ever become canon, I can still be happy because the Post-Modernist Meta FMA Theory of Doom has. Also, I feel it is important to mention that Baby Roy and Baby Breda are, in fact, playing the Fullmetal Alchemist TCG.

I think the State one was the video portion of the FMA ride at...whatever theme park it was, in Japan. So, yes, we the viewer were Mary Sue.

Only in FMA would there ever be CANON SELF-INSERT. I love how the camera shook at the beginning, too, that KILLED ME. flutingfrenzy is right, it's the video from the ride that was at Universal Studios Japan ... was it last year or two years ago? Don't remember. BUT THE ARCHINATOR. THERE WAS AN ARCHINATOR.

I think the children OAV KILLED ME DED. I've spent way too long staring at Ed's newspaper clippings. So far I've identified the Apollo moon landing, something about Martin Luther King, Jr. (probably his assassination), lots of random shuttles, the Challenger explosion, 9/11, and something that says Iran but I can't read the kanji.

I am focusing on this because IT MAKES MY BRAIN HURT.

Pee Ess: there still is no Roy in FH. ;_; Ed is sad. Ed and Al need someone to help them blow more things up.
