Fullmetal Alchemist

[elkano788]

Ah, I see. Big misunderstanding on my part, my apologies ^^;

Now can anyone tell me if Scar turns out to be good or bad? I'm very interested, but my modem downloads so slowly... >_<

With all due respect, Wikipedia says you're wrong.

ohh...and about you definition...I kinda got a better one, from a more reliable source....http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=Alchemy&x=26&y=20 .....Websters...hehehe

A lot of people said that they were offended by the first episode....but it was a priest for the "Sun God", so why....

...
...

People get offended to easily.



Anyway, it's a great show, and I've watched up to episode 16...amazingly, I have not lost intrest yet . (coughlupinIIIisstillbettercough)

Althouggh it was a priest for the "Sun God," the priests in it were rather clearly modeled after Christian priests. So I can see where they could get offended. But I still agree people are offended too easily.

 

[icecoldbreeze]

I agree too!

Its not about that, you gotta wonder what kinda people actually wrote that story and what kinda message are they reing to send to viewers... were they belivers, maybe not but the idea that that hits so close to home to the way naysayers try to disprove God is what is offensive. Now all that is done with and im sure the series moves away from that after that little event but c-mon read between the lines at what was being said in the first episode offensive or not.... it was clearly giving praise to science and human logic over any religion period. Im glad that the fake preist was put out in the open, he deserves it, but then again the idea of showing people that are that ignorant to the outside world and thier faith mimicing an actual monothestic faith is what is offensive. theres nothing "easily offended by" about it.... it just has themes that are too farmiliar, and in a cartoon for crieng out loud, whats that gonna teach children.

But anyway.... what better are we gonna talk about, besides anything controversal? Theres other places for that.

I guess that's why Ed said that he was not sure if their was a god or not, but that the priest was a fake...(note the sarcasm)

Anyway, who has seen past what they have played on CN?

 

[Level_Seven_Paladin]

If you hadve asked that about two weeks ago I could have said yes..... oh well...

BTW what sarcasim? Im glad though that the preist got caught, he was crooked trieng to do that for an army of loyal followers..... thats just sick.

 

[Blessed-one]

uh, i finished Full metal alchemist... and

it's awesome!!

the last few episodes turned what the audience believed to be the rule... completely upside down! the ending.. well, i can't tell whether it's a tragedy or a happy ending, it can be taken both ways. An ending of hope.. yet.

well, wow, just.. what an anime.

 

[Father Niko]

so true, but its sad but in a way that, i wish some times that I could get same love.
ofcourse i have it in Jesus Christ, but still.

 

[roseduelist04]

I miss last Saturday episode, the Alchemy Exam, could someone tell me what happen? I'm going to try to see it Thursday night but I dont know for sure.

 

[icecoldbreeze]

well....they go to this one guys house that is like a Great State Alchemist, they study for weeks, then Ed takes the exam, passes the first two tests, then the last on he has to use alchemy to impress the judges of the test, and he ends up using Alchemey without a transmutation circle, and saves a guys life, and passes the test and REALLY impresses the judges.....

 

[roseduelist04]

Thanks, I hope I can see it Thursday night.

 

[The Shasta]

I thought the storyline was pretty good. The Voiceovers kinda blew, though...

 

[icecoldbreeze]

Thanks, I hope I can see it Thursday night.

No Problem, Anytime!

 

[Dracil]

Yeah, it's probably been heavily edited. Good anime, but with quite a bit of intrigue.

 

[Level_Seven_Paladin]

Yeah, Ive seen the imported version without dubbing and the lines are a bit different and of course the voices are WAAAAAAAY differrent.

I recently found this site where you can download episodes, they are subbed but its still good. I had to use it when I missed the episode two weeks ago when there was that guy with the dolls

 

[icecoldbreeze]

That's why I hate watching anime on TV they edit out alot of stuff, I just recently started buying the series of GITS:SAC, and I have seen alot of stuff that has been edited out, same goes for Cowboy Bebop!

 

[Level_Seven_Paladin]

Oh yeah..... definitly Bebop, I look at that show and can just tell that it is much grittier than what Cartoon Network makes it out to be.

the same goes with FMA, take the first few episodes for example. In the Cartoon Network airing of it you will only see the burnt failure of the Elrics trieng to bring back their mom for maybe a split second..... on the Import I saw it was quite graphic, same goes for with showing Eds arm that was torn off.

 

[Dracil]

Yay, finally finished the series last night. Interesting ending, but not the official ending, because the manga is still going on.
