I forgot how good this ep was. Damn CN for killing all the good shows...

If Megas actually comes back there is hope for Titan as well!

 

[pirata]

Why would someone cancel the show?

Because there is no God.

Why would someone create gxp?

Because there is a devil.

 

[Seda]

If anybody has any more clever ideas for a thread title involving One Piece feel free to share.

 

[Future Foundation]

No merchandising potential.

No, seriously, that was the excuse given. They were having difficult finding marketable toys for the show, despite the fact that every god damn character, even the one-shots, are action figures.

They couldn't make merchandise from this. It just had to go, man.

Spoiler

They had trouble making toys for a giant robot show

Four words: Booty. Quaking. Kimmy. Doll.

So much money.

 

[Seda]

A TV-MA episode even.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Kimmy Quakes-a-Lot

I like it

 

[GaimeGuy]

The only time someone gets the better of ling in a battle.

 

[Schadenfreude]

A TV-MA episode even.

It is pretty dark what with all the nightmare inducing souls.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

whoa

 

[Seda]

This is one of my favorite BGMs

 

[Schadenfreude]

I think I just pissed my pants.

 

[GaimeGuy]

In the manga, Envy's souls are all white, btw. Much creepier.

 

[Moaradin]

I didn't really like Envy in Brotherhood. I thought the character was better in the original FMA.

And that CG is very glaring.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

This is probably one of the best episodes of series.

Then it gets way too damn slow with the Briggs intro.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Al walking and talking with the enemy. Doesn't look good.

 

[Seda]

And that CG is very glaring.

I don't mind it, but there's definitely a contrast.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

 

[GaimeGuy]

This is probably one of the best episodes of series.

Then it gets way too damn slow with the Briggs intro.

Only because they cut the Ishval flashback.

Just 160-200 pages of the manga they flat out removed.


They did an okay job with Scar's backstory when he meet Winry (that backstory was part of the Ishval volume), but overall, they fucked up perhaps the best and most important volume of the manga in terms of character development and world building.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i forget. was the stupid little girl in the original series.

 

[Schadenfreude]

i forget. was the stupid little girl in the original series.

I don't think any of the Xing people were in the original.

 

[Seda]

i forget. was the stupid little girl in the original series.

Nope.

 

[Jafku]

i forget. was the stupid little girl in the original series.

No

 

[GaimeGuy]

BRADLEY BACKSTORY

 

[Doctor Decimate]

guess that's another positive

 

[Moaradin]

i forget. was the stupid little girl in the original series.

May? Nope. I don't think Xing is mentioned at all in the original actually.

 

[Seda]

guess that's another positive

FMA had FMA Wrath though.

 

[Schadenfreude]

"Try to forget about the blood-curdling screams and the corpses in the other room. Just relax."

 

[GaimeGuy]

Pretty sure the one soul remaining is his own since he has his memories from before the injection.



Anyways, now you know how Bradley became a homunculus, and that he doesn't have regeneration, and why the xingese can't sense him (he only has one soul, unlike the other homunculi).

 

[lazybones18]

Bradley did make sense. Why go back to being a human when you can become more powerful as a homunculus?

 

[GaimeGuy]

Bradley did make sense. Why go back to being a human when you can become more powerful as a homunculus?

It's not just about power. He doesn't get ill, and it helps him maintain his vitality to an extent (thoug he still ages and weakens)

Plus, it's part of who he is. His personal identity, now.

 

[Schadenfreude]

The nineth lion ate the sun.

 

[Seda]

~foreshadowing~

 

[Jintor]

The nineth lion ate the sun.

momento mori

 

[Schadenfreude]

Man, this show is fucked up.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Man, this show is fucked up.

Not as much as the OG series.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Brotherhood would be significantly better if it left out the slapstick animu bits.

And the 2003 series had a lot of scenes that were gory just because... who knows. It always baffles me when people criticize Brotherhood for having too many fight scenes, when it barely has any compared to 2003.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Here we go!

My jaw was on the ground when I first watched this scene.

 

[GaimeGuy]

OH HAI AL

 

[Jintor]

Not as much as the OG series.

eh, original FMA always (well, after the end) struck me as being fucked up for the sake of being fucked up.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

lol it's always funny when fanboys are unable to accept that people dislike their favorite show.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE

RAW RAW FIGHT THE POWA

 

[GaimeGuy]

eh, original FMA always (well, after the end) struck me as being fucked up for the sake of being fucked up.

That's because it was.

[Schadenfreude]

So badass. Time for Cowboy Bebop.

 

[Jintor]

Man ed you baller

 

[ThatObviousUser]

They didn't abruptly cut! My soul is saved for another week. But the shortened version still burns.

 

[mightynine]

That's my time, guys. Enjoy the rest of the night.

 

[GaimeGuy]

They didn't abruptly cut! My soul is saved for another week. But the shortened version still burns.

I know ;-;

 

[thetechkid]

Well I can't make it to glorious Inuyasha for tonight, night gaf.
