15 Underrated Girly Kpop Songs That Make Me Go Absolutely Feral
When it comes to girl groups, more than anything I am a Blackjack and Blink. I like to listen to girl songs that make me want to murder men (and believe me, that blog post is in the works). But I’m also a ONCE, as TWICE are my sweet darling babies, but they’re about as girly as I can tolerate. I’m not one for the super girly concepts. I mean, did you guys ever see MINX? Occasionally I ironically jam to Shakey Love Shakey Shakey Shakey Shakey Love, but it was an absolute blessing from the K-pop gods to rebrand them as Dreamcatcher. It’s really only the A-list girly songs I tolerate, like GFriend or Oh My Girl. Everything else below them just seems really cringy.
Except for a few chosen few that are so good that they make me absolutely lose all of my shits. And I’m talking about songs that nobody seems to know like at all. Either these songs came out when the groups were still under the radar, before they had their big smash hits, or they just never seemed to rise to the top. But they are still valid and important. Videos are linked in the song names, since Tumblr won’t let me add more than five videos, but here we go.
15. April- Dream Candy
April is one of those rare groups that pull off the girly concept so well but don’t ever seem forced, like they are just truly naturally sweet and pure and precious. Honestly all of their songs are great, and it’s tragic that they haven’t had a comeback in 2019. But their debut, Dream Candy, is the one that really gets deep in my soul to that animal part of my brain that makes me scream this god damn chorus. But only really at the end. I never really listened to this song until it came on shuffle one day when I was walking home in the rain, and thought, why not listen to this awkward girly song, and then the last chorus hit and OH MY GOD. It’s a good one guys.
14. Momoland- Jjan! Koong! Kwang!
So this song comes out by some unknown group called uh, Momoland?, with a title that is just a bunch of sounds that don’t exist in English, and I felt like I was the only one on Earth that was like, “This is fine.” I was honestly in some I Am Legend universe where instead of me being the only living person on Earth, I was the only one that liked Momoland’s debut. As time went on Momoland started putting out what is pretty much some of the worst K-Pop that exists (I mean, have you SEEN the video for Wonderful Love? Try not to cringe challenge) and sadly enough this group just faded into obscurity and never had any huge, Earth shattering hits or anything.
13. DIA- My Friend’s Boyfriend
On paper this song is awful. I mean it’s a song about being a petty bitch who has decided to steal their friend’s boyfriend, hence the title. Also the song ads cute little quirks like *squints eyes to read this metaphorical paper closer* coughing. Also the video has an unnecessarily long intro. But believe me when I tell you that this is an absolute slapper.
12. Gugudan- Wonderland
It’s a crime that Gugudan has never really hit it off, even with two I.O.I members. Their debut has this amazing Little Mermaid concept and believe me when I tell you that this chorus is best when screamed at the top of your lungs. After all the screaming I am basically in a manic state by the la la la’s.
11. LOONA 1/3- Love&Live
You’ll notice that the main theme of this list is that the choruses are absolute fire. But this one comes in and basically knocks the wind out of me with sweetness, like some kind of aegyo Kool-Aid man. It’s really the music that does it for me in this one, along with the melody, along with Heejin’s perfect high note. If this song doesn’t make you smile then you are a robot, like ViVi.
10. Shannon Williams- Why Why
If Ant and/or Dec were here, they would hear this song and definitely say that Britain’s Got Talent. Shannon is the British IU,hands down, undeniably, I will not be taking questions at this time. But it’s very sad that her career was nonexistent after this came out. Was it the fact that this features a sixteen-year-old grinding against faceless boys? Or that this video widely revolves around her intensely stalking someone? It can’t be the song because that is perfect.
9. AOA- Bingle Bangle
Okay so some history for those non-Elvises out there. AOA was THE HOTTEST girl group for a good minute, with so many timeless collaborations with the Brave Brothers that really changed the shape of female K-Pop for a while. And then ChoA left the group. And without the only member who could actually sing the face of the group, AOA kind of went quiet, save for a few Jimin solo songs. Then AOA came back with a new sound, and while everyone else thought it was terrible, I thought it was a bop! And I love the video and the concept! And the dance for this is so fun. Bingle Bangle is a real yes for me dawg. It’s only too bad that they lost yet another member and their concept was handed off to FNC’s new girl group. Speaking of which...
8. Cherry Bullet- Really Really
Yeah so they literally gave this entire “girls in a video game but it’s fun and cute” concept to Cherry Bullet, and they hit the ground running with it. This comeback in particular is my favorite of theirs because it hits one of my favorite pop music tropes: Having A Funky Instrumental Chorus, Only At The End To Put Words Over The Music. It ticks all my boxes.
7. Rainbow- Whoo
If you ever wanted to hear a song that made you scream “RAAAAIIINBOOW AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!” then this is it. At this point in this list we start to hear the songs that make me truly insane, and this song absolutely destroys me. It’s really sad, however, that this is basically Rainbow’s swan song, as it was their last song before disbandment.
6. Matilda- Macarena
I bet you haven’t even HEARD of Matilda. I bet you didn’t even KNOW that MATILDA just DISBANDED a FEW MONTHS AGO because ALL THEIR SONGS WERE BAD except for THIS ONE which is just full of CHAOTIC GOOD ENERGY and if you don’t ENJOY THIS then GET OFF MY LAWN.
5. Berry Good- Angel
Berry Good was destined to be one of those girl groups, like Matilda, that came from a tiny company and was just given bad songs and were set up to fail. So they crowdfunded, and somehow made two incredible comebacks, Don’t Believe (which is a whole other story that we won’t get into today, but it’s an amazing song that you should check out) and prior to that, Angel. I don’t even know where to begin with this song because it literally makes me forget who I am and why I exist. It’s a banger?? This song starts off so soft and pure and jumps right into a chorus that makes you bang your head and scream “I TAKE A CHANCE, YOU NEVER KNOW” as loud as possible. And right when you think you can’t take it anymore, that you are gasping for air because you are drowning in perfection, THEY GO EVEN HARDER. Like, girls, you did not need to go that hard. Holy shit. They go full IU in Good Day. I don’t know why we were blessed with this, especially since after this all their other songs have been garbage, and they’ve been so unsuccessful that they lost their strongest member and they’re heading for disbandment. But we have this gem, and I’m thankful for it.
4. 4Minute- Heart To Heart
Back when 4Minute was just another 2NE1 clone, trying to compete in the market of “Girls Who Look Tough But Are Actually Sweet” 4Minute, aka The HyunA Group, put out this. Third Geners, this is what Second Gen was all about. This is the meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown. This song is everything. It’s perfect. And it’s too bad that 4Minute didn’t really stick with this sound, but also not, since with their more mature concept they wound up getting pretty famous once Park Bom... I mean, we’re not gonna talk about it.
3. Hyolyn- Bae
Okay so I know that Hyolyn as an entity is not technically considered underrated, but her entire solo career is being slept on and I don’t understand. With Sistar gone, and now Red Velvet carrying the torch for summer anthems, Hyolyn doesn’t necessarily have to give us one of the best summer songs of all time but she did. Every second of this song to me is perfect. And yeah okay I’ll admit it, I am a Gay, I am attracted to women, and Hyolyn is a lot of. A lot of wow. She and HyunA are exactly my type, and this video is a lot. But the SONG you guys. It’s so much that I told even regular people who listen to English music to listen to this song. They didn’t, of course, because the world doesn’t appreciate Hyolyn like I would, I mean like I do as a fan and nothing else. This song was my summer anthem in 2018, Power Up wishes it was this good.
2. BESTie- Thank U Very Much
One of the things that really got me into K-Pop during the Second Gen was that it sounded so much like pop music from my youth. This is gonna sound weird, but I grew up in a Wiccan Neo-Pagan household where 90% of the music we listened to was traditional Celtic or New Age, and if it was ever anything else it was like The Beatles (my Mom and her sisters were one of those screaming and fainting Beatles fans, the trait that was clearly passed down to me, based on what happened when I saw G-Dragon live, but that’s another story) or ABBA, or any kind of British/European pop/rock from the 70s or 80s. So once I was old enough to really find out what kind of music I liked, I dived deep into cheesy pop songs like S Club 7, Britney Spears, and the like. But I always had a soft spot for ABBA. The melodies, the music, the strange lyrics that didn’t really make sense or weren’t quite grammatically correct but it worked. I feel like that love for obscure pop, along with the 90s and early 2000s bubblegum pop, pushed me right into the K-Pop scene. And this song is the best example of that kind of weird melody with oddly used English words, but it works in the best way. The chorus of this song sounds like it was written by ABBA. The ending of this song is transcendent. Tell me you can’t picture a Korean Meryl Streep in overalls singing the ending of this song while dancing on a beach. This song makes me lose all my shits. But I do have to say that this video is uh, Not Good, especially compared with how amazing the song is. But these underrated bottom of the barrel groups don’t have much to work with in the first place, so we can’t really fault them. This song holds up, and is going to hold up for a very long time. I stan.
1. Laboum- Shooting Love
So like I said before, I don’t typically like the super sugary, super tacky, super girly girl concepts. BUT I LOVE LABOUM. ALL their girly sweet songs are AMAZING. They somehow get everything right, in their own unique way. They’re not at all like “Oh, they’re like GFriend”, “Oh, that’s like Lovelyz” or anything, if you get what I’m saying. Laboum had their own cheesy yet perfect style of girly. Aalow Aalow: A CLASSIC. Journey To Atlantis: A CLASSIC. Hwi Hwi: A CLASSIC. Only U: YES YOU GUESS IT, CLASSIC. Sugar Sugar: DON’T MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN. I could have made this whole list with just Laboum songs. So I made myself pick one by listening to as many old Laboum songs as I could before I would become an absolutely menace to society, as I am not responsible for my actions after listening to so much girly perfectlon at once. If I was arrested and went to court for I dunno, causing distress and mayhem to the citizens of my city, my lawyer would call it “the Laboum defense.” “You see, Your Honor, my client listened to a lot of Laboum songs, and lost control of themselves and became an entity, a ball of energy, a comet destroying everything in its path while screaming cheesy Korean lyrics.” And I would be set free, of course, because who wouldn’t lose themselves completely to the power of Laboum? But anyway I picked Shooting Love, as it puts me in a manic state from the very intro until the last second. And let me just say now that I deeply mourn this old Laboum, as they came back in 2018 with a new concept that makes them sound lobotomized compared to their old sound. Like slow R&B is fine, but compared to this it’s drab and slow and dull and I hate it. I Hate It. Bring back cute Laboum in 2020, or at least study Apink if you want to see how to properly change an aging cute group into a mature group. I could go on, but now I have the urge to listen to more Laboum. You’ll see me on the evening news tonight, I’m sure.
anyway 안녕

Experiment 808 AU
Hey so I did actually have someone show some interest in this AU, but I’m awful at formatting so I'm just making a separate text post. Read about each character under the cut. A bit about the setting. It’s pretty distant future, this big lab in the middle of the city was commissioned to make a ton of super soldiers. Not knowing where to start they just... started kidnapping kids. Like from their cribs and everything. Not legal but they can like start from scratch there. By the time most of them are ten they’ve been tortured and beaten and do not want to be there. So they just escape. Because like what are they going to do to stop a bunch of kids with powers. They run free into the city. They stay hidden in bunkers and hideouts. They are all about 15~16 ish. I haven't decided whether or not Al is still a year younger or if they are twins so, for now, its up too you.
Anyway, enjoy these stupid teens.
Ed
Has gills on his neck and sides, and dragonfly wings.
the wings are red and while he can fly fast can’t fly for a very long time.
Instead of his traditional black tank top and coat, he wears one of those knit sleeveless turtleneck things with his red coat that ties around in the front.
Anyone with gills is bioluminescent underwater, he glows red in his face and all around his arms.
he wears a different outfit because it hides his wings and his gills.
still kind of a little shit.
knows all the other kids, is friends with most of them surprisingly.
lives with his brother, Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeyes, and Denny Brosh in an abandoned library on the west side of the city. Because they are the kids he trusts the most.
he would live with Ling, Lan Fan, and Winry. But Ling and Lan Fan don't really live anywhere and Winry travels between all the kid's hideouts making sure they didn't break anything.
Likes knives, like really really likes knives
has like twenty on him at all times.
he actually meets Ling by throwing a knife at him and getting really pissed that he missed.
Roy Mustang
Has a salamander tail, sometimes breaths a small bit of fire.
Doesn't really like people at all.
is four ten and has a lisp and you can pry this headcanon away from my cold dead hands.
frequent all-nighters, whether playing video games or trying to master fire breath.
Wears really baggy cargo pants, he likes the pockets.
has a haircut with two very long pieces of hair in the front and kinda shitty bangs.
he regrets this haircut.
he’s best friends with Riza and Ed because Riza and Ed are also wild kids who won't stop him from jumping off really high places or putting bugs in Al’s tea.
Likes lollypops, no one is sure why he just thinks they taste nice.
huge crush on Jean Havoc from the group uptown, The others make fun of him.
Riza Hawkeye
Has a cheetah tail and likes to R U N
She's a very fast girl, for a long time everyone thought that was one of the abilities given to her during her time in the lab.
it's not
she just likes to run.
despite being a wild teen is the second most sensible one in their group. Has had to drag Roy to bed, but almost everyone has had to do that once or twice.
cant cook for shit. like really. she hates cooking shes so bad at it.
everyone expects her to be the mom for some reason like they think she cooks and cleans.
shed rather die, Ed cooks, they take shifts cleaning.
loves long skirts and horror novels.
likes to think she can talk to ghosts or summon demons.
or maybe she can.
nobody really knows.
Talks to herself on occasion.
Al
Has gills like his brother. Very small antlers as well.
glows blue underwater near his ears and around his legs. He and his brother have matching symbols on their backs.
wears a blue hoodie to cover the antlers.
The actual Mom Friend TM
Enjoys tea and not having to deal with his brother and CO’s bullshit.
for once would like to sleep in. just once.
Would be a wine mom but he is responsible and doesn't drink while underage, unlike almost all of his friends who really don't seem to give a shit.
Sassy, like, really sassy.
bad at hiding his emotions.
you will know when he thinks your being a dumbass.
*looks into the camera like he's on the office*
“Al me and the others are going to jump off the top of the building and see with we can stop ourselves.” “Good luck brother.”
Is friends with everyone and really he loves them all but goddamn.
One time Ed dated a real shit head and you don't want to know what happened after he dumped Ed. he isn't dead but he won't be walking anytime soon.
Denny Brosh
Has Squid tentacles under his arms and fins on his legs. He glows a bright yellow underwater.
Knits, like a lot. Every one of them has a homemade sweater from him. the others he lives with wear theirs all the time. Because they do gross things like care about one another in this household.
Is still really good friends with Maria Ross, he wishes they saw each other more.
can and will shock you with his tentacles, especially if you make jokes about them.
Meme dream team leader.
Al doesn't understand memes and Denny hurts every day because of this.
has a bright yellow sweater that he knitted himself and then had every single one of his friend sign.
Thinks Kain Furey is super cute. Roy thinks he's super gross because Furey is an innocent Denny!
wholesome meme some days sex jokes on others.
pretty much all the kids have pretty severe mental health issues, but Denny is one of the few who has tried to help his.
takes anxiety meds.
while he doesn't have any sibling this timeline he has his friends and honestly they are pretty close to siblings.
has called Ed big brother but like everyone has once or twice. Ed doesn't really give a shit and has accepted his fate as the oldest and apparently the most brother like.
Maria Ross
Lots a scales, like all over her body.
has wings but she isn't sure what animal they could be from.
they are big and scaley like her.
Lives with Olivier, Mei Chang, Sheska, and Winry Rockbell when she's around. They live in an old dinner on the east side of town.
Would date Sheska 100%.
Sorta has claws, doesn't matter she enjoys painting them.
Good friends with Olivier, actually best friends. This is a problem in some ways because Olivier and Denny don’t get along at all.
Has a gun, only used it once or twice to protect her friends.
she hopes she never has to use it again.
Sometimes wonders what her family would be like if she hadn't grown up in a lab. Wonders whether of not her family sold her or if she was stolen. She wonders for the other kids as well.
Breaths and cries ice.
prefers if her friends called her Ria
Olivier Armstrong
This bitch got bat wings
they are fucking huge.
she can’t really hide them so she only goes outside at night.
she has become a cryptid.
blurry shitty pictures of her crouching on buildings wings extended, her eyes glowing are all over forums.
Batgirl strikes again??
she thinks its super funny.
Doesn't really try to hide how she's feeling.
most of the time she’s Arragont or amused.
Anime character tch.
Her list of people she dislikes is bigger than the list of people she likes.
that's a lie she loves all her friend's
she’s just bad about showing it and claims to hate them.
everyone calls her Livi.
she hates it but nobody cares.
keeps her hair in a ponytail.
Mei Chang
has a cat tail, and night vision.
Please don't make any jokes.
she doesn't want this.
People sometimes pull her tail. they only pull it once though. People learn from their mistakes.
wears a big pink coat with lots of pockets. she keeps both dead mice and her kunai in the pockets.
Is Winrys assistant when she's around.
loves to help. is crushing on Al from the west side library. Everyone knows but Al. Ed and Ling think that is hilarious. Like it didn't take them months to get over themselves.
Ling is her half-brother. She isn't sure how trustworthy the info is because it’s something she heard from lab technicians.
Wants to learn to fight better but nobody wants to spar with her.
Sit’s up at night and stares at her coffee.
it’s cold now but she can’t get to sleep.
Winry Rockbell
Has butterfly wings, emperor butterfly wings. They don't make her as fast as Ed but it is faster to fly than to walk and she can fly for pretty long periods of time.
automail isn't really a thing. So Winry does general doctor stuff.
she goes between bases and makes sure that everybody is healthy.
most of the time that isn't the case so shes pretty much always working.
Thinks Mei is a wonderful helper.
Wears her signature tube top. doesn't travel through populated areas and definitely doesn't by day.
Butterflygirl isn't as cool as a cryptid as Batgirl so she doesn't get much coverage.
Will still hit you with a wrench don't test her.
She carries it and her entire toolbox because she’ll be damned if she loses time for her machines while helping out these idiots.
Dating Mothman.
Mothman is actually Lan Fan. this joke doesn't make a lot of sense to her because Lan Fan doesn't have moth wings. Ling and Ed tell her to shut up and go with it. She rolls her eyes fondly.
Kain Fuery
Has ant antenna. he can send messages across radio waves because of this. makes it easy to keep up with his friends.
Lives with Jean and Rebbeca in what they think was once a club. It's unused now but it does have an underground bunker for some reason.
He is an innocent
(He isn't)
keeps a picture of some dog in his pocket.
he needs it to keep up morale.
yes, it is just a stock photo of a dog that he stole out a picture frame at wallmart a couple years ago.
He really likes animals. Ed and Roy hate going out with both him and Al in a pair because both of them insist on stopping to pet every dog and cat or whatever animal.
Functional Bi
Jean Havoc
Has fins he thinks. they are like spiky and help him swim better. they are all over his back and wrap around his arms. Has gills, and he tends to glow a bluish purple.
he lives in the club but prefers to be near the docks.
Loves to swim
Just call him Jean
Please god just call him Jean.
Olivier and Maria butchered his last name so bad when he first meet him that he is permanently traumatized.
he’s being dramatic but like, that's who he is??
Disaster Bi
Pinning? His constant mood?
Ling Yao
Red panda tail and claws.
Loves sweet things, like so much.
Can see in the dark, loves his night vision
Thinks Ed throwing knives at him is super hot
Ed is Concerned TM
Doesn't really live anywhere.
bounces around the bases with Lan Fan.
Lan Fan is actually his twin sister but they haven't told Mei that yet.
he doesn't know why people don't just know.
Climbs in Ed’s window in the middle of the night.
freaked Ed out the first time it happened but he got used to it.
spars on rooftops in the middle of the day.
For some reason, nobody seems to freak out.
Kink is love and appreciation
doesn't actually know most of the other kids. Sometimes there will just be a different kid at the base and He’ll be like cool.
Everone knows about Ling though.
Lan Fan
She has lunar moth wings. Although Winry seems to think they are from some type of butterfly like her. Ed and Ling know the truth and call her moth man.
She flicks their faces for it.
loves food. thinks it must be because lunar moths cant eat, that side of her wants to eat E V E R Y T H I N G.
Or maybe she just has a huge appetite because Ling eats a ton as well.
has night vision as well.
Is her last name Fan? Not even she knows.
Everyone calls her Lan Fan though.
Spars with Ling but prefers fighting with Ed because Ling holds back. Ed doesn't.
tries so hard not to scream at her friends.
god, she tries so hard.
This took so long. If you want to hear about specific characters request it and I’ll make another one of these. If anyone wants to write a fanfic send it to me, I’ll be the first one to kudos that ish.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 1 Liveblog
Start!
Oh, yeah, I think I’ve already seen the… first half of the first ep? I definitely remember this city and the ensuing chase scene.
Ayyy, Roy, my guy. There you are.
“Fuhrer”? So this is based on Germany? Huh. Neat.
Ayyy, Ed, my guy.
EDUARUDO ERURIKO
Jesus christ Alfonse, your voice does not fit your design. Although I guess that’s the point.
>using guns in a fantasy setting
You guys deserved to die/be incapacitated. Also, cool arm-thing, ice dude.
Ok THAT guy is definitely dead. Holy shit. Ice can be a pretty fucking scary power in less Y/PG settings.
Aaand dead as well. Huh, so he can also affect boiling.
Hello, exposition. Nice to see you there.
OOOOOH, so Ed can manipulate the shape/form of metal! That’s cool!
Ok, so you need a transmutation circle (probably that drawing in ice guy’s arm thing) to do alchemy, unless you’re uber-cool, like the protagonists and intermediate/major villains.
Oh hell yes prosthetics. They’re also called “Automail” apparently.
Aaaand title drop! Awesome.
And here’s the “IM THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST AND NO I’M NOT SHORT FUCK YOU” running gag. I hope it doesn’t get grating after a while.
Damn bro that was slick
So Ed is a bit of the “arrogant badass”. Interesting choice for a shonen-ish protagonist.
“the war”
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Yeah, there’s the “fixing your body” thing.
HELLO NEW MAN HOW AR-wait
Fuck
I think this is the guy that is killed by his possessed wife. I recognize his glasses.
Well then, another situation where I have been spoiled on a character’s death from the beginning. Shit.
And, again, the guy confuses Al with Ed. Running gag secured.
Hughes! Ok.
ooooooooh noooooooooooooooooo the pictureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Rip Hughes. I barely know you.
Please let at least the daughter be ok. Please. p l e a s e
do not angery the Ed
It’s in moments like this i wish i could have images in my posts. lmao
Wow subs, you didn’t even bother translating “itadakimasu”? I fear I may have gotten weeb fansubs. Welpsies.
And they’re trying to cover for Al, to not let people know he doesn’t really have a body anymore. I wonder why. Is it a weakness somehow?
That guard doesn’t look fine. Is the poor man dead
Well hello there Crimson, nice to meet another villain
Kimblee! I feel like I’ve read that name before. Hm.
Huh, so these villains want to overthrow the Fuhrer’s militaristic rule. A good cause to have your villains fight for, honestly. Makes it easier to sympathize w/ them.
Yep, the guard is dead. Rip.
my heart
al u nugget
Bradley. Is that the fuhrer? I forgot his name.
AND HERE HE IS. THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND, ARMSTRONG.
wat
flying armstrong heads
k
bros to the rescue
oh hey, fire and ice. good shit.
DENIED
we summoning satan now boys
oh shit philosopher’s stone LET’S GO BOYS
Although this is the first episode still, so yeah, either it isn’t the Stone of they lose it.
Again with the “you don’t know what this country is doing!” shit. I’m really curious. Is it going to be something generic, or genuinely awesome?
Good lord Isaac, mind the collateral damage.
And here’s what i thought was gonna happen. The city being a perfect circle was way too conspicuous. I didn’t think it was gonna be an ep 1 deal though.
Wait, King Bradley? Wasn’t he Fuhrer Bradley? Is he King Bradley, the Fuhrer? Wow.
Oh, so Al can use metalchemy too! Cool! We had only seen fight CQC so far so i wondered if he even could do it.
And here is the “im an armor my guy lel” reveal. I wonder what they’ll do with this plot point.
And here is the backstory. I sadly already know all this from browsing and hearing anime stuff for years so none of this is new, but it’s still very fucking cool. I wonder why it was so... uneven, though. Why did Ed, the one who actually did the alchemy, only lose two limbs, while Al lost his whole body? Question, questions, questions.
Isaac, you’re fucked.
TUMBLING DOWN, TUMBLING DOWN, TUMBLING DOWN,
OH MY FUCKING GOD WERE THOSE BLOOD SPEARS???? JESUS SHITTING CHRIST
Good god Ed are you okay, that looked like it went very deep.
Guys, you’re mooks in an action anime. You’re virtually useless.
See, that’s what you should do. Wait for a main character to show up and fix shit/make it worse.
Roy: The weather... My only weakness...
Well hello there sudden color pallete and atmosphere change. We’re going horror/thriller now? Ok.
You aggro’d the boss. You’re fucked.
Yep, roflstomped.
Huh, the blood is now gray, but this little orb is the red thing now... Is this the philosopher’s stone?
And it just... evaporated. What the fuck was that? His essence? His soul?
ARMSTRONG WAS LOSING THE SHIRT REALLY NECESSARY
And that guy i forgot to comment on again. Who is this man?
Fuhrer President King Bradley. I’m done.
“A helping hand” buddy you’d have killed him easily even without Ed’s help.
Hughes you beautiful man
“A” philosopher’s stone? There’s more than one?
And here’s the Armstrong i know. Overly Flamboyant Manly Man.
YAMEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why hello there villain lady. What’s your deal?
“Oh, so he used it all up.” So that red orb *was* the stone! He just overused it and it “died” simultaneously as he did.
Oh, so these are the sin characters. Gluttony, and i’m willing to bet the woman is Lust based on her design.
“It” will begin? What will?
And episode 2 will be a backstory episode! I’ll probably have less to talk about there because i already know mostly everything (i think) so i might squeeze it in later today.
And that was the first episode! I can definitely see the foundations of a great series. Although it hasn’t yet hit me with the “best anime of all time” a lot of people seem to give. But, HxH also didn’t until late Chimera Ants arc, so i’ll give this some time. I rate Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, episode 1, an 8/10!
I’ll be hanging out over at Zephyr’s discord until i start episode 2, so see you there if you’re there! And if you’re not, what are you doing with your life?
