03 Hohenheim is a piece of shit.


Runs away because he's ashamed.

Also because his flesh was peeling off. At least he was up front with Trisha about it.

Both versions are assholes for not coming back for Trisha's funeral.

 

[Moaradin]

Which is still better then fanfiction levels of bad ending that 03 shoves down our throats. Everything in the manga/brotherhood ending stays consistent to that series and ends with hope for everyone which is the whole point of "equivalent exchange" that a life of difficulties that you can overcome can lead to happiness.

I thought the explanation for homunculus in 03 was better than Brotherhood and I loved the gate to our world twist in 03. I agree it wasn't executed well at all but I thought the premise was far more interesting than the ending we got in Brotherhood.

And I'm not talking about the promised day. I really loved that setup but the climax was really lame.

 

[Amikami]

Seizures

 

[Schadenfreude]

Huh. Just noticed she said her real name.

Well I saw what I wanted to see tonight.

Bye, Frankman.

 

[Man God]

Love that scene.

 

[bigkrev]

Seizure.

Also, I've always wanted one of those things Naota wears this episode.

 

[BassForever]

Time to just enjoy the rest of the shows tonight

 

[Amikami]

The father is still hilarious to me.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Kamon with that analysis.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i've never been able to put my finger on why the father's voice is bizarre. it seems intentional, too.

At least the canon homonculi actually match the deadly sins their named after, and are explained why they have those names (due to be father's lost emotions). In 03 they're named after them because... reasons

 

[Amikami]

Ah yeah the little fritzy cat.

 

[Raxus]

Messed up girl is messed up.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

At least one good thing came out of that movie.

Years after Inglorious Basterds, this is still entertaining.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Dat ass.

 

[Beelzeboss]

"the art of clubbing a man to death has been passed down the Armstrong line for generations"

 

[Jafku]

This perv

 

[Man God]

Spike

 

[BassForever]

So much innuendo that I get now

 

[Schadenfreude]

Steve Blum sighting!

 

[Amikami]

So Mechanica is an organization that negotiates with aliens? Do outside humans know this?

 

[Ultratech]

Welp, I'm prolly just gonna go to sleep.

I'll catch ya'll later.

 

[Man God]

Might be my favorite scene.

 

[BassForever]

It's crazy how seeing this a second time just makes me go "oh" "OH" "OH"

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Some of you guys are kinda forgetting that Sacred Star of Milos wasn't that great of a movie either.

It's ten times better than Nazi Hughes and Anime Hitler.

 

[Amikami]

The art. animation, and general aesthetics and ambiance of this show doesn't get old.

 

[B-Dubs]

At least one good thing came out of that movie.

If only we could gif the eyetailian scene

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Enjoy the ride

Nah, being the creations from one powerful person is better than being the result of human transmutation. Otherwise, there would be more than 7 homunculus roaming around (and not copies of the previous iterations) which we didn't get

 

[Doctor Decimate]

the scene of Canti flying away is one of my favorites from the series.

minus random panty shot.

i figured the only surviving homunculi were the ones Dante was able to get to.

 

[BassForever]

FLCL goes by so quickly

They're named that because the manga was still ongoing at the time. I don't really think the names really matter much at all in the grand scheme of things. I just enjoyed the Homunculi backstory better in the 03 anime and it really benefited characters like Lust a lot.

But that's what makes it FLCL.

 

[bigkrev]

This is a case where a girl plays a pre-pubescent boy and it works perfectly. I'm still amazed she was Rita on Power Rangers as well!

 

[BassForever]

Star of Milos is most likely just another dime a dozen anime films based upon shonen manga/anime that just tells a rushed story with decent action. Shamballa actively made the already bad ending of FMA 03 worse

 

[Amikami]

Anchorman commercial managed to make me laugh. Not willing to see the movie though.

 

[Man God]

Dante named them that way because, well, she's one of the only people alive to remember Christianity.

Also don't forget that without incomplete philosopher stones Homonculi aren't anything but abominations so that's why there are so few.

And it made Wrath a much worse character and (thanks to Sloth) made Ed and Al act like complete idiots. They completely neglect to talk about who created Gluttony.

Also I agree they were forced based upon the manga, but that manga had introduced 4 of the 7 and all of the matched the sins they were named upon. Making Sloth the way they did was just bad writing, same with having there be multiple versions of each ones.

Badlands Rumble is like that only really well done.

 

[MetatronM]

[Schadenfreude]

Why does the animation and artstyle look weird?

 

[Amikami]

I didn't notice this animated segment the first time. Cool.

 

[BassForever]

I thought the Bleach movie Hell Verse was good, of course I also liked the Fullbring arc so maybe I'm just crazy

 

[Schadenfreude]

Ninamori speaking from experience.

 

[Man God]

I thought the Bleach movie Hell Verse was good, of course I also liked the Fullbring arc so maybe I'm just crazy

not crazy though liking a Bleach movie is far worse than not liking FMA in my book.

 

[BassForever]

How lewd on Ninamori

 

[Schadenfreude]

Poor Mamimi. No wonder she's so fucked up.

 

[Man God]

Rise above hate kids or the bullied will burn down your school.

 

[Levyne]

Alright. Made it home. Time to watch reruns with my favorite gaffers

 

[Doctor Decimate]

oh, this scene
