And neither had Ashley, he was on the verge of dying and had lost his face, she used the power of the stone to save his life and restore his face

And the movie just explicitly spelled this out.

 

[Shard]

And then they were arrested and jailed for life.

 

[Professor Lich]

Does the train crash at the end of the credits?

 

[grandjedi6]

Just wait a minute, they'll explain it. It's not Bones being Bones.

I was pretending I haven't seen this movie before lol.

 

[Zonic]

& here's L'Arc-en-Ciel to sing us our ED.

Not as great as Ready Steady Go, but still kind of like this.

 

[Seda]

Are we not gonna talk about how she saw the truth? There was a visual and everything.

Ashley was still alive. They talked about how it wasn't actually human transmutation, just on the brink of it.

So no, she didn't actually see it...I guess.

 

[Cbajd5]

This train is also attacked by Terrorists.

they just really hate trains

 

[Grexeno]

Well good, everything always goes super well when Central forces move in following an armed uprising, so CUE THE L'ARC~EN~CIEL!

*muffled laughing by Father in the distance*

 

[zedreamcast]

So what was the point of showing the gate when she did the thing?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Man, I did not care for this movie one bit and her random zealous desire to save this piece of shit land she had never heard about really bugged me. And then the random bad guy that was not introduced until his reveal. Ugh. Just super bad. At least Shamballa was fun to shit post about because of the Nazis. This was just boring and bad. Time for FMA Brotherhood.

 

[Crocodile]

So no human transmutation was even done? Lame. Also why did Ashely lose his arm?

Is this L'Arc en Ciel singing right now?

If we're being serious, she sacrificed her leg to pull his soul back into his body and used the philosopher stone to heal his body. Bones just conveys that terribly and the random shot of the door of truth is super misleading and silly.

Yep, apparently that's what happened. Would not at all been clear if Mustang didn't just tell us now. I guess that was his one, true role in this movie. To give us this ending bit of exposition.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Now back to a random part of the story where they somehow conveniently forgot this ever happened

I would want to forget all this stuff happened, too.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Now back to a random part of the story where they somehow conveniently forgot this ever happened

Must have been a Tuesday

 

[foxuzamaki]

So apparently Julia is only 16 in this movie

You sure? Cause she has a body of a 19 year old

 

[Levyne]

I thought it could still be "human transmutation" even if the goal was to do non-equivalent healing or some such. Not just Resurrection. I've seen the movie before but forgot some of the little details like Ashley not being full dead.

Well, not like it matters much in this context.

 

[ckohler]

So what was the point of showing the gate when she did the thing?

It didn't actually open so I guess that's what happens if you do partial human tranmutation on a live person? You just sorta glimpse it?

 

[Takashi]

You sure? Cause she has a body of a 19 year old

inb4 yoko

 

[Regiruler]

You sure? Cause she has a body of a 19 year old

Is there a significant difference?

 

[Professor Lich]

The dude also lost his arm, so there is that. I don't get why they have him waking off into the sunset when they'll probably never use him again.

 

[Seda]

Man, I did not care for this movie one bit and her random zealous desire to save this piece of shit land she had never heard about really bugged me..

I totally understand your stance, but she grew up with Milosians. She had no other family for 8 years or whatever it was.

 

[Zonic]

Is this L'Arc en Ciel singing right now?

Yes, it's "GOOD LUCK MY WAY"

Yeah, this movie is dumb and goofy as fuck, but at least it's fun in its own way.

I think this is my opinion of the movie as well after rewatching it. It's not as great when I originally saw it, but I still prefer this over Shamballa. It's not great by any means, but it's got its moments & gets entertaining in that "lul what" kind of way.

 

[zedreamcast]

You sure? Cause she has a body of a 19 year old

Because Anime.

 

[BassForever]

As a for fun FMA film I'd say Milos did it's job well enough, it's not a master piece but it certainly gave me 2ish hours of new FMA action while letting see most of my favorite characters doing what they do best. I had fun and would watch it again

 

[foxuzamaki]

Is there a significant difference?

One allows me to have the thoughts I have, the other makes me feel awkward.

 

[Levyne]

And now for ...FMA Brotherhood!

 

[Crocodile]

You sure? Cause she has a body of a 19 year old

You sound like an expert. Tell us more.

Spoiler

LOL

 

[Imperial Bishop]

You sure? Cause she has a body of a 19 year old

It's anime, bruh.

 

[Regiruler]

G'night and g'riddance

 

[lazybones18]

meh, Shamballa was more entertaining

 

[Man God]

PERIOD.

 

[MetatronM]

You sure? Cause she has a body of a 19 year old

They said she was 16 when they first introduced her.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Man, I did not care for this movie one bit and her random zealous desire to save this piece of shit land she had never heard about really bugged me. And then the random bad guy that was not introduced until his reveal. Ugh. Just super bad. At least Shamballa was fun to shit post about because of the Nazis. This was just boring and bad. Time for FMA Brotherhood.

Well she grew up there with people who cared for her....

 

[Korigama]

Hm, between this and Hellsing, tonight's been kind of meh. Neither bad, just whatever.

 

[Professor Lich]

Always a blast ToonamiGAF. Time for bed, catch you next week.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

The movie was ok.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

You guys get to experience some canon FMA goodness.

But I'm going to experience my bed now. Later, everybody.

 

[zedreamcast]

So that adventure was a big waste of time.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I totally understand your stance, but she grew up with Milosians. She had no other family for 8 years or whatever it was.

Felt like a whole lot of brainwashing to me.

 

[Zonic]

I expect a lot of Shamballa Vs. Milos comparisons tomorrow.

& I'm out.

 

[foxuzamaki]

You sound like an expert. Tell us more.

Spoiler

LOL

Ive researched this for years now.

 

[Levyne]

So that adventure was a big waste of time.

well, we will have memories of this thread watch, right? that's what's important

 

[Line_HTX]

This rock band is pudding.

Spoiler

They're OK, but I think they're kind of overrated.

I think Metatron said this 2nd Gig is very good? I'll be back for that. It's amazing what you can understand after watching it a 2nd time after many years.

 

[Man God]

Felt like a whole lot of brainwashing to me.

That's basically how life works. Brainwashed by the society that raised you.

 

[BassForever]

Man, I did not care for this movie one bit and her random zealous desire to save this piece of shit land she had never heard about really bugged me. And then the random bad guy that was not introduced until his reveal. Ugh. Just super bad. At least Shamballa was fun to shit post about because of the Nazis. This was just boring and bad. Time for FMA Brotherhood.

This had well animated fights that were a fun to watch, the train battle alone was better then anything in Shamballa and I'd rewatch at least that scene and the final battle. The only thing I'd do with Shamballa is throw it into a compactor

 

[Takashi]

Aside from the twists, it was alright. Better than Shamballa.

I hope Mustang gets to wreck shit

welp

 

[foxuzamaki]

Ill get back to watching another anime that has a OTP that ive been behind for like 10 years
finally canon

 

[Crayolan]

Movie had some problems with the story and the characters constantly did stupid things which they admitted to knowing they shouldn't do, but overall it was entertaining, the action and animation were great. Definitely better than Shamballah.

 

[zedreamcast]

Again im surprised that Armstrong was no where in that movie. Isnt he pretty popular?

 

[Man God]

1ST and 4TH openings have the best cuts.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Again im surprised that Armstrong was no where in that movie. Isnt he pretty popular?

He had a small cameo appearance and that was it.
