FullMetal Alchemist 2003 is a bad adaptation…

…but a darn good Anime taken on its own terms. However, talking about how it’s “better” or “worse” than Brotherhood (y’all know who you are) is pointless when… neither was intended to be like or outdo the other.

Say the Manga is… ingredients for a meal, said meal being Brotherhood or 03.

03 utilizes some plot beats and storylines from the Manga but modifies upon them in order to create set up for the largely original plot that’s of its own making.

It knows what to keep, what to tweak and what to excise from something that will inevitably be different in tone as well as character evolution.

By contrast, Brotherhood intends to be more true to the Manga but not all of it. Various plot beats are retooled like the investigation of Liore are made the second adventure we see of the Elrics.

Some like the Youswell Mine and Yoki are skipped over with a passing mention before later being adapted later in a truncated adaptation.

Some are outright changed such as the Elrics and Winry learning of Hughes dying before Maria Ross’s accusation of such hits the papers. That is, with a later scene of them meeting Grace and Elicia over the matter.

This list goes on…

Though some find they haven’t found their sea legs at first, this adaptation shakes out to be one of the 2010s big gateway Anime titles. Either way, it’s a technically better adaptation of the original Manga by default.

03 didn’t adapt the Manga but with filler ala the Big Three of Shonen Jump. Rather it built a new story around the parts of the Manga it had to work with a went off. Probably one of the few Anime Original Endings that have stood the test of time really.

Now HOW those elements were handled for each version 03 had focused on can make for a good discussion at the very least. But neither version of FMA should be judged by what it isn’t and never was going to be.

It just… makes it hard to humor a comparison when one is clearly preferred over the other. Especially when some mostly amount to petty memes and potshots.

I know this saying is rightfully maligned but for this context? I don’t care who started it, somebody has to end it.

I’ve been seeing some misinformation going around about how Amestris represents Nazi germany based off of some of the imagery in fma. And while those are valid criticisms to have, I’d also like to point out that the creator herself didn’t base Amestris off of Germany at all when creating it. Or any specific nation for that matter.

not to be that person but studio bones could and would change the ending of bungou stray dogs if they so desired. how do i know you ask? because that’s what they did with fullmetal alchemist and soul eater.

#the fma manga was being simultaneously released along w the anime and when the author couldn’t keep up w the deadlines #bones veered off and gave the anime a completely different ending #it wasn’t until 2009 that they decided to do a remake of the series to keep it canon w the manga and its ending #not complaining bc fma 03 was one of the greatest things i’ve ever watched but #my biggest fear is that they’ll actually let dazai die and have chuuya destroy everything and die himself #bones loved giving fma 03 the most heart wrenching horrible ending #having edward die in the final battle having the elric brothers separated in different timelines #nothing is too tragic for studio bones. nothing is so inherently implausible that they wouldn’t think of doing it. #i am. i am not prepared for wednesday. this could just be our last episode😭 #manifesting stormbringer or smth of that sort i am actually sobbing at bones’s feet #perhaps they’ll animate another light novel and leave the main plot altogether? and then revisit it in s6 (i’m delusional) #bungou stray dogs

WIP Game

No one tagged me, I tagged myself in because I want to and you can't stop me =P And I'm tagging everyone who sees this that writes! Do it! Dooo iiit!

Rules: In a new post, list the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it. And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I don't actually have a WIP folder, I have WIP folders, plural. So, I'm adding a rule that I can't have posted any of the fic online anywhere for it to qualify, and I also have to have worked on it some time in the last... four years?

Let's see if that keeps me below the 50 fics mark (place your bets now)...

Aaand the total comes to 90! At least it's less than a 100... And that's just the stuff I've worked on recently! (Yes, four years is recent. I have fics I haven't actually touched in 6+ years that are still marinating in my brain, waiting for the pieces to fall into place) If you've trawled through all of those to get here, you've got more stamina than I do!

Please ask about anything that piques your interest! I'd love to talk about some of these, see if it gets the creative juices flowing. (Also feel free to ask about any of the WIPs I have posted on here or Ao3!)
