FMA: Brotherhood Episode 19

[wildvision]

And again, I am late. I just watched this yesterday. Ah, well. ^^;;


-- This may well be my very favorite episode of Brotherhood so far. It's that freaking good. <3 <3 <3!

-- And this is what I've been waiting for ever since I heard they were making this new anime: Roy's fight with Lust! One of my very favorite bits, because I'm such a Roy fangirl, and he's just insanely badass here. <3

-- Poor Havoc. I knew it was coming, but it's still sad. Arakawa better have Marco or Hohenheim or whoever fix Havoc before the end of the series! =(

-- Okay, the scene with Roy coming back to barbecue Lust, after cauterizing his own huge abdominal wound and carving a freaking array on his hand? Seriously hot. No pun intended. It's been quite a while since I've drooled over an anime guy; I almost thought I'd outgrown it. Apparently not! 'Cause, damn. <3 (Although, I gotta say...where the hell did those muscles come from? O_o Not sure if I like that or not.)

-- And I just looked at the manga for this part and noticed something. While all this was going on, the Xingese characteres were fighting with Envy...they completely left that out. I'm wondering if it'll be in the next episode. We'll see, I guess.

-- Dude, we get Hohenheim next time! =D I'll admit, the manga made me a fan of him, at least a little. Plus, his meeting with Ed is interesting. (Their interactions, plus his comment to Pinako about whether the thing that Ed and Al made was really Trisha, which gets Ed looking into it.)

I hope they get the new episode up soon~! =D

First time I ever saw Riza break down. D: She really shines in this episode. <3 I was sad to see Lust go...I'm such a Lust fangirl.

My other favorite scene, when Alphonse refuses to leave Riza and stays to protect her, that makes me love him even more. <3

It is, isn't it? But then, she certainly had a good reason. And yeah, she was awesome in this episode. =) I love Riza. She's so cool. <3

And I sorta agree about Lust, too. That's actually one thing I really love about Brotherhood/the manga; I actually like the homunculi here! I never really cared much about any of them in the first anime. (But then, they get much better character development in the manga. Plus, Wrath is appropriately badass and not a bratty little kid, so yay.)

Oh, yes. I love that scene with Alphonse. But then, I've got a huge soft spot for him anyway. <3

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Of course she did. That's why I love her so. =D

Dude...Wrath in the old anime. Didn't cut it at all. >__>

I love Brotherhood for bringing the manga to life. <3

Well, okay, even in the old anime, Alphonse totally won me over. Especially the scene with Nina. ;___;

[wildvision]

Oh, it's nice to see someone else who doesn't like 1stAnime!Wrath. (My best friend's crazy about him. =P) I really disliked him; he's an annoying character, plus it just doesn't fit.

Yes, Brotherhood will always rock for bringing the manga to life. <3

I think the Al scenes that get me the most are the sibling moments between him and Ed. And scenes like the one with Riza last week, of course. (Alas, I am possibly the only FMA fan who wasn't bothered by the Nina thing. ^^;;)

(Waaaaaaah, seriously?! DX)

[wildvision]

(Yeah, seriously. Apparently I have no heart or soul or something. XD It just didn't affect me. I mean, sure...it was kinda sad and I felt sorry for her. But from what I've read online, the standard reaction is lots of crying and finding it seriously traumatic. And I just didn't think it was that upsetting. ^^;;)

(I suppose Hughes' death has a much more significant impact...)
