Rewatching FMAB and I’m so used to the bloopers I forget that Al does not in fact say “FUCK YEAH!!” In response to Grandma’s stew.

FMA vs FMAB: The """Style Argument"""
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about/went on a spiel/ranted about something FMA-related. And… it’s come to my attention that there is one thing that people in this fandom like to do….
COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COLORS (03 v.s. FMAB)
FMA03 “fans”: “Ugh… Brotherhood’s colors are so ugly and washed out!”
FMAB “fans”: “Oh geez… FMA03 colors are so strong they hurt my eyes!”
Of course, that only pertains to the character colors (because the backgrounds tend to vary depending on the setting). Well, I took the time to make a side-by-side comparison between the those series’ colors.
Let’s take Edward Elric for example:
Yes, I understand that at a first glance, the colors from Brotherhood seem significantly more faded than they do compared to FMA03 Edward. And that would be partially correct. The colors from FMAB are de-saturated compared to those in FMA03
…But not as de-saturated at many claim it.
Let’s have a look at what “De/Saturation” is on a color wheel:
Just as the picture shows, Saturation occurs horizontally (on this type of color wheel). The more faded colors (“De-Saturation”) are on the left, while the further right you go, the more vivid (Saturated) the color becomes.
Now… with that in mind, let’s take the eye drop tool and see where each of the colors on Ed fall on the color wheel…
Now, I understand that the individual color wheels for each section on the picture above may be hard to tell without zooming-in all the way.
So, I made a separate template that breaks each section apart and explains where they each show up on the color wheel:
As you can see, when both colors are put together on the wheel, there’s not a significant gap of saturation/de-saturation between them. In fact, there are some FMAB colors in certain sections that are more saturated than the FMA03 colors in the same section!
Basically what I’m saying is that people in both fandoms (depending on which party you hail from), exaggerate the colors of the opposite side of the fandom. FMA03 “fans” say that FMAB colors are “too washed out (de-saturated)”, while FMAB “fans” complain about the FMA03 colors being “too bright/vivid (saturated)”. People claim there’s a huge difference between the color saturation of both series when… there clearly isn’t.
Now… if any of you still want to complain about the colors after that explanation… Let me show you what “TOO saturated/de-saturated” really looks like:
“TOO SATURATED”:
“TOO WASHED OUT”:
…
…And there you go~!

I'd like to nominate Scar's Brother if he counts as obscure enough. Important to a character's backstory, but also not important enough to get a name
Okay, okay, so we KNOW we said named characters only, bUT we think we can make an exception for this one.
We could write SO MUCH about how important it is that he isn’t actually named.
A narrative choice loophole, he’s in the tournament! 😌
