FMA's many moments..Loved & Hated. *Possible SPOILERS*

[EmberAlchemist0]

Now that the movie has been released and the series is over too I'm sure we all have many loved and hated moments from the series all together. Here are a few of mine:

Loved:Edward and Alphonse ending up back together at the end of The Conqueror of Shamballa. It was a great closing to the anime.
Hated:The people killing off Huhges...dang! He was an awesome character. Yet if he hadn't died the FMA story wouldn't really start to go somewhere I think. R.I.P. Maes Hughes.
Episode 37: "Flame Alchemist, Bachelor Lieutenant, and the Mystery of Warehouse 13." Loved the comedy moments. They really made me laugh.

I tried not to put many so I just put those three for now. Ok! ^_^

[crow-kun]

I like when it ended. That was the greatest moment in the anime period. :P

[EmberAlchemist0]

^LOL crow-kun!! I figured you would say that. You don't have at least one moment to say about OTHER than it's over? :P

[crow-kun]

^LOL crow-kun!! I figured you would say that. You don't have at least one moment to say about OTHER than it's over? :PWell to be fair I enjoyed the moments....the......when....um...the moments I got to listen to Riza Hawkeye in Japanese I love her voice, does that count as a moment or moments? The moments I hated were when I didn't hear Riza then I had to suffer through a sub par plot. Beside that the only other moment I like didn't really happen in the anime but it is related to the anime none the less and that is the soundtrack. You haven't lived until you have heard Roy Mustang sing. :)

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Yeah I suppose that can count for something since you ARE enjoying it for that. So..yes! ^_^ Another moment I like:
When Lust kinda teams up with Ed to help get rid of Sloth

[Bezerker]

Favorite Moment:

The Man, Envy killing that little shrimp in Episode 50

Hated:

Ed coming back to life

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Oh man Bezerker! I friggin laughed really hard when I read both of yours. :lol:

[Caster13]

mustang describing his plans for fuhrer......TINY MINISKIRTS!!!!! and the guys worship him......

hahahahahaha.....thats a classic

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Definately! Of course if he told me to wear a miniskirt he'd be getting a big smack across the face! :lol:

Mustang: "When I become Fuhrer there will be changes...all female officers will be required to wear....TINY MINISKIRTS!"
Havoc: "You're a miracle Mustang I'll follow you for the rest of my life!"
Mustang: "Yes!!"

Lmao!

[crow-kun]

^Definately! Of course if he told me to wear a miniskirt he'd be getting a big smack across the face! :lol:

Mustang: "When I become Fuhrer there will be changes...all female officers will be required to wear....TINY MINISKIRTS!"
Havoc: "You're a miracle Mustang I'll follow you for the rest of my life!"
Mustang: "Yes!!"

Lmao!
Meh It was funnier in the manga. Especially the follow-up to it. Hell the all the material that episode was base off of was funnier. :P

[EmberAlchemist0]

You may include fave battle scenes too!! One of mine is:
When Roy goes and fights Fuhrer King Bradly AKA Pride. He whoops his sorry bootay good! Although if it wasn't for Selim showing up with Pride's weakness...his own skull Roy may have died and I would have me PO'd! This battle did not last long but it was very intense!

[Kagura]

I agree with you on that one girl! I would have been so mad too! That was an intense battle though. Roy kicks Furher Bradley butt!

[EmberAlchemist0]

^YAY! I'm glad someone agrees. lol! Seeing that you just finally saw the last episodes. :)

[Kagura]

i am so glad that you let me see the final episodes! I was so mad when CN didn't show episode 51. I was wanting to see how everything ended so bad!

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Yeah I know what you mean. CN I don't think could air the final episode when it came time for it only because the last dvd had not been released yet. That's my guess for that.

[Kagura]

I think you may be right. Either that or they were waiting for the movie to be released. I know that they are supposed to show it sometime soon.

[EmberAlchemist0]

They plan to air the FMA movie on adult swim now too?!? Hmm..I didn't think they would do that.

Anyways another fave moment. Episode 13 when Ed and Roy have a mini fight!! Really cool.

[Mr. sickVisionz]

SPOILERS
My favorite moments are:

#1 Maes Hughes physically and mentally holding his own against two humongulus @ the same time. Most alchemist don't even get a "fatal" hit on an humogulus. He got two of them in.

#2 Anything with Dante (old or Lyra) on screen and talking.

#3 Ed vs Greed

#4 The discovery of the underground city. Its all fiction but seeing that made me respect Hohenheim alot more as an alchemist.

#5 When Wraith says something like, "That fool already gave me his arm and then he came back... so I stole his leg from him too," while talking about his time in the gate. Really, the whole Wraith backstory arc is cool to me.

#6 Anything with the Crimson Blood Alchemist. One of my favorite scenes is where he's about to use a soldier as a bomb and he says something like, "are you ready to perform your patriotic duties soldier?"

#7 Anytime the flame alchemist kept it G. Like when Lt Hawkeye said, "but sir, I don't think you understand how much your men admire you," and he looks at her puzzled like, "but what good is the admiration of men?" Or when he's constantly stealing someone's girlfriend with ultimate ease.

tied with #7 is the scene where Greed is at his bar with two chicks wrapped around him. He lifts up his empty hand as if he had a cup in it and one of the chicks quickly gets a glass of alcohol and puts it in his grasp.

[EmberAlchemist0]

#7 Anytime the flame alchemist kept it G. Like when Lt Hawkeye said, "but sir, I don't think you understand how much your men admire you," and he looks at her puzzled like, "but what good is the admiration of men?" Or when he's constantly stealing someone's girlfriend with ultimate ease.

Yeah he's always stealing Havoc's girls. The flower shop girl and the nurse at the hospital. :lol: He should be making passes at Riza instead.


Speaking of Roy and Riza. I like what he said to her on the last episode then kinda played with her hair. That right there was nice to see since he never really showed her how much she means to him until then.

[Kagura]

Sorry. I think I should have made myself clearer. I meant that they were waiting for the movie to come out on DVD and also for the final number 13's release. I haven't seen anywhere yet where they are gonna show the FMA movie. The battle between Scar and the crimson alchemist is a good one too. It is strange how Scar saves Al by Somehow making him the Philosophers Stone. I still wish that Roy and Riza would have become a couple!

[crow-kun]

Screw your anime moments. :P The best one for me are in the manga.

Basque Grand
One for when he charged onto the battlefield shouting, “I’m the Ironblood Alchemist prepare to get pwned *****es.”(that’s what he said in my head anyway)

The second when he shoot a higher officer point blank for being an ******* and trying to kill some Ishvalans who were trying to make peace.

Roy Mustang
When Lust was attacking Al and Riza, Roy comes in all bloody and banged up (he burned his wounds close *bad-****). He blows Lust’s legs away saying, “That’s right get on your knees *****.” Then he starts blowing her away with flames. But get this no gloves, sigil of blood sketched on his hand, making sparks with a lighter *bad-***!!!!!!!!*. She tries to attack but Roy won’t let up *BOOM BOOM BOOM*, suddenly he stops, eyes filled with a fiery passion look on. Lust’s finger stop short, it starts to deteriorate and the body along with it. The Flame Alchemist has won the battle and shall continue to burn bright…………..

Alphonse
In the beginning when Cray is pointing a gun at Ed after shooting Al’s head off. Cray makes some speech about being the will of god that they must die and Al gets back up and says, “That’s a mean god.” Cray + Al’s Fist = PWNAGE. It had to be one of the most painful looking punches ever. The whole side of his face banged up, teeth flying out of his mouth. MANGA ALPHONSE IS BADASS!!!!

Bradley
His fight with Greed and his comrades, pure awesome! He made Greed look like a sack of potatoes, cutting off arms, trusting his sword into Greed’s neck. Greed only got one hit off of him, “I don't have an ultimate shield like yours or ultimate blades that can cut through anything. How can a person like me survive battlefields full of flying bullets and shells and be able to rise to this rank...do you understand? Just as you have the ultimate shield. I have the ultimate eye. Well now, Greed. How many more times do I have to kill you before you die?” Then Dorchet and Roa came, talk about tossing out the trash. Dorchet went down easily enough then when he got to Roa brutal. From the way it was shown in the manga you could see the trace of the slash going through his eye diagonally so you knew he lost the half of his head *I want you to picture*.

[EmberAlchemist0]

^hehe crow-kun!! I don't think I've read all those parts yet. I recall the Bradley vs. Greed scene. Loved that one!! The Alphonse one is in the very first book right? I haven't read that one in awhile I'll have to go back and read it again. ^_^

[crow-kun]

^hehe crow-kun!! I don't think I've read all those parts yet. I recall the Bradley vs. Greed scene. Loved that one!!The Grand and Roy ones are in later chapters so if you are reading the Viz version you may be way behind. The Alphonse one is in the very first book right? I haven't read that one in awhile I'll have to go back and read it again. ^_^Yes, it was one of the many Alphonse moments that define his subtle badassness, but that %$^@$@$ anime cut that part out.

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Ok I remember now, crow-kun. Thanks! I don't have my first FMA manga at the moment, but I'll check that out at a later time. :)

[Kagura]

Sorry Ember. I have it! I am going to start reading it tommorrow morning. I have been too busy and stuff. I am going to read the graphic preview that you gave me tonight before I go to bed. I still wonder why they cut out some of the good stuff when they make anime? But I like FMA no matter what! :)

[EmberAlchemist0]

Oh another loved moment...on episode 51..
They show Envy's real form.

When I first saw that I was like "OH SNAP!" It was so cool!

A hated part..I won't say moment since it is 2 episodes.
I am refering to episodes 1 & 2. They started the series with the Liore(sp?) deal and it made NO sense to do that. If you ask me it should have began with the "Mother" episode which is episode 3 in the anime series.

[Kagura]

Envy's real form is totally awesome! I agree with you! It made no sense to start like that. It made things confusing at first. They really should have started with ED and Al doing the human transmutation and stuff like you say.

[EmberAlchemist0]

The 3rd episode would have been the best 1st episode. The first two episodes deal with Father Cornello and Liore like I stated. Ed and Al already have the different bodies in the first two episodes. Anyone who sees the first two episodes without ever seeing any of the others wouldn't have any idea how it happened. Then episode 3 comes along and shows some of what actually happened. Now as the series goes along they show more and more of what actually happened.

Another loved moment for tonight...
I forget off hand which episode it happened in but it was when Izumi went and found the Elirc brothers and took them back to her town with them. Well while still on the train Ed and Al were trying to escape and Izumi tosses Ed's pocket watch at his head. :lol:

[Kagura]

Thats funny! :lol: It was confusing to me at first when they had different bodies. I liked the moment where Ed screwed that guy over by making the fake gold bars and then that guy signed over the town to Ed. Then the bars were rocks! :lol:

[drgenestarwind]

I saw the movie last weekend, at NanDesuKan, it was introduced by the director whom I later got to meet, I loved that besides the fact that I saw the movie, which I still thoght was a good ending to the series.

[EmberAlchemist0]

I liked the moment where Ed screwed that guy over by making the fake gold bars and then that guy signed over the town to Ed. Then the bars were rocks! :lol:

I loved that too. Lieutenat Yoki (?) I think that's what the heck his name was. What a goof!

[Kagura]

Lucky you! That you were able to meet him! I thought his name was Lieutenant Yoki! :lol: He really did screw that town over so he got what he had coming to him! ROCKS! ROCKS! & more ROCKS! :lol:

[EmberAlchemist0]

^If it was Santa those rocks would be "loads of coal". Oh wait I think they were. :lol:

I also like the alchemist using no circles just clapping.

[Kagura]

:lol: It was coal! HAHAHA! It saved Santa alot of trouble didn't it? :lol: To be able to use alchemy without having to draw the circle first is way awesome!

[Mr. sickVisionz]

I just saw the movie and have to add another favorite: seeing human-body Al as an alchemist.

I hated Al throughout the show. He was soft, *****y and complained constantly. That was like his whole point. Ed would do something cool and then Al would come in with something soft and *****y to damn near ruin the moment. The Al from the movie is doing soul transfers with ease and is transmuted a tornado like it was child's play.

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Yes seeing Al in human form was a good thing. Sure you seen glances here and there in the series, but all thru the movie he was in human form EXCEPT that one scene where he attached his soul to see Ed and of course during that skit in the begining of the movie. I liked seeing Al that way.

[Kagura]

It was cool to see him finally in human form but I still thought he was cool anyway. I mean you would act differently too if your soul was trapped in a suit of armor and you lost your human body. DOn't you think so?

[EmberAlchemist0]

Another fave moment in Episode 13...when Riza decides to keep Black Hayate and he goes and pees on the wall. Riza takes her pistol out and shoots. :lol: I love that moment.

[Kagura]

:lol: That is 1 of my favorites too! :lol: Another 1 is where that cat that Al is hiding in his armor meows and Ed is like are you hiding a cat in there? :lol:

[EmberAlchemist0]

I was watching some FMA early tonight. Now I don't usually listen to them in Japanese with the English words but for some reason I decided to. Anyways I was watching episode 5 "The Man with the Mechanical Arm". I set the language to Japanese...and now I have a favorite moment from this expierence. When Hughes was talking to Roy about his at the time pregnant wife Gracia. Riza then picks up the phone and says "Let me offer some feminine advice...babies aren't born after just 5 months!" (Or something close to that.) I laughed so hard hearing it in Japanese.

[Kagura]

I also liked the part where Winry b****** at Ed and Al because of how they take care of themselves. Like Ed for instance how he takes care of his automail and he always has to get her to repair it.

[crow-kun]

I liked the scene when Lust had cut a water pipe over Roy and he alchemized the water. Then Havoc throw his lighter and BOOOM!!!!!! Instant water bomb.

[Mr. sickVisionz]

It was cool to see him finally in human form but I still thought he was cool anyway. I mean you would act differently too if your soul was trapped in a suit of armor and you lost your human body. DOn't you think so?

I can see being depressed. But Al *****es... ALOT. Constantly... he saves kitty cats and cries (not crying about being trapped in armor, crying about how Ed didn't rescue a puppy or something stupid like that) like once every 3 episodes. Plus he's a sucker in my opinion. He kept getting tricked and duped by like everyone all throughout the show.

The movie Al was... I don't think he cried or *****ed for a second. He expressed his emotions by transmuting tornados and laying waste to enemy forces with ease.

[EmberAlchemist0]

If I recall he did scream out like a little girl at one point in the movie at least. When he saw that person die and ran towards the person to try to save him/her. Ed ran behind him and had him stop. That was kinda reckless. It is true tho that Al was whiney in the series. Heck he couldn't feel anything, eat anything, or whatever. If you ask me that would be depressing.

[Tidusauron12]

? They did air the final episode...

Episode 4: That one girl called Al a trash can, lol. It was very funny. Al got all dejected... :P

[Kagura]

They haven't aired the final episode yet. I have seeen the final one on the last volume of the DVDs. But CN is going to be airing it this time around. Just keep watching it. I think they are on like episode 38 rightnow. The final one is episode 51.

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Yes CN is going to air the final episode. Next week (monday) they will be airing episode 41. Last night was 39. I'm guessing around the 8th of Nov. for episode 51. ^_^

[Kagura]

I wonder if they will eventually show the FMA movie. I am thinking that they will but probably not until next year.

[EmberAlchemist0]

Yeah they may wait until the LE version of the movie is released then air the movie next year sometime on adult swim.

[Kagura]

I imagine that alot of FMA fans already went ahead and bought the movie or at least rented it. I like the part where Riza is comforting Roy while he is in the hospital.

[crow-kun]

I imagine that alot of FMA fans already went ahead and bought the manga or at least rented it. I like the part where Riza run to catch Roy after he collapses after killing Lust.

[Kagura]

That is a cool part too. I like the battle between Roy and the Furher. I also like the part where Ed had his battle with Roy. They have to clean up all the mess too! :lol:

[crow-kun]

I like the part in the manga when they showed Bradley growing up. Which is pretty sad because at the time of his birth he was conditioned to become Furher and become a homunculus. :( I also like the part when Ed and Al were talking with the Bradley's wife and son. On their first meeting she slapped Bradley for being a jerk and the relationship built from there. :lol:

[EmberAlchemist0]

^Is this a copy fest? O_o;

I also like the "Other Brothers Elric" scenes. They needed more screen time if you ask me.

[Bezerker]

I like when people use spoiler tags when they post a spoiler..

[Kagura]

I do too. That way, in case you don't want to read it and spoil it for yourself, you dont have to read it. But, I like FMA. I wished it would have been made a little longer so all of any questions would have been answered.

[drgenestarwind]

I saw Conqurer with a big group of people, and when Mustang walked on screen, returning to Central, it got a huge applause. That scene was really good because of the way he takes charge and immideatly has respect. Plus he's Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, he PWN's the competition in that scene.

[EmberAlchemist0]

Plus he's Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, he PWN's the competition in that scene.

Yes...Yes he does! He walks in all cool like...*Snaps*..Starts giving orders like nothing. That rocked majorly.

[Mr. sickVisionz]

The manga sounds interesting...

[Kagura]

I thought that part where Roy walked out and took charge again in the movie was awesome! Even though he only has 1 eye he still kicks butt anyday! :)

[EmberAlchemist0]

The manga sounds interesting...

Yeah it is interesting. It is definately a good read!! :)

[crow-kun]

I thought that part where Roy walked out and took charge again in the movie was awesome! Even though he only has 1 eye he still kicks butt anyday! :)Which shouldn't have happend in the first place, manga Roy isn't such a weak person. Also he gave Riza permission to shot him in the back if he ever went off his path. ;)
Some parts I really liked during the Ishval war flash back in the manga is when Kimbley goes into philosophical mad bomber mode and makes beauty soliloquies about bombing and killing things. *looks at sig*

[Kagura]

WOW! I guess that is a difference! I wonder why they made the anime that way and didn't keep him the way he was supposed to be in the manga? But Roy is still cool anyways.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

I finally saw the end of FMA yesterday.There were a decent amount of unanswered questions....

What happened to Dante?Was she eaten by Gluttony?Did Envy make it through the gate?Who was Pride based on in order for Mustang to use a skull to help kill him?Will Al and Ed ever see each other again?

Should i just buy the FMA movie [which i was already planning to do] to get some answers,or are these questions never answered?

[Animematt55]

i remember this one scene...this chick, dark skinned, was hiding in Al. AL turned around and some guy in an eye patch stabbed her through the gap in the neck of his armor.

[crow-kun]

i remember this one scene...this chick, dark skinned, was hiding in Al. AL turned around and some guy in an eye patch stabbed her through the gap in the neck of his armor.......what? Are you talking about Martel? She isn't dark skinned......and it was better in the manga it had a real purpose.

[Kagura]

Her name is Marta in the anime. She was hiding in Al's armor and Furher Bradley came out and stuck that sword or whatever it was into Al's armor and stabbed her. She died in there too. She was in there hiding from him warning Al to tell Ed that the Furher is a homunculous and to be careful and stuff.

[Kali-chan]

I'd have to say that I loved:
when Lt. Ross saved Ed from the incomplete philosophers stone in Warehouse 5 by hugging him
and I hated:
when Hues(sp?) died
I also loved all the parts with Black Hayate!

[EmberAlchemist0]

I'd have to say that I loved:
when Lt. Ross saved Ed from the incomplete philosophers stone in Warehouse 5 by hugging him

That part was touching. I loved it too. ^_^

[crow-kun]

That part was touching. I loved it too. ^_^That part was the biggest load of crap I had ever seen. ooooOOOOooo look at me I'm out of control for reasons that don't make sense in the first place and apparently only the power of a hug can snap me out of it. I'll tell ya what if she would have slapped him that would have been a thousand times better.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Favorite thing:
I loved Hughes death scene. I ADORE main character deaths in anime...it shows the anime is on the real part of life that NO ONE is immortal.

Least favorite thing:

Only moments involving this series I hate is finding slashed RoyxEd stuff >_<

[Kali-chan]

That part was the biggest load of crap I had ever seen. ooooOOOOooo look at me I'm out of control for reasons that don't make sense in the first place and apparently only the power of a hug can snap me out of it. I'll tell ya what if she would have slapped him that would have been a thousand times better.

Ed's body was reacting to the incomplete Philosopher's Stone, and since Ross already had feelings for the Elrics(in a motherish way), she felt that she had to help him someway, and if I remember correctly, she was the only person around ABLE to help him. She couldn't have slapped him, she did what she thought best

[Bernard_Monsha]

Crow Kun is a troll who is known for makeing asanine statmements about the anime. He thinks the manga is superior and spends a lot of his time compensating for some inadequacy by trash talking on this forum.

[crow-kun]

Crow Kun is a troll who is known for makeing asanine statmements about the anime. He thinks the manga is superior and spends a lot of his time compensating for some inadequacy by trash talking on this forum.Say what you will the scene still made no sense.

[Kagura]

I didnt have any problems with that scene. I like the anime series. Its really good. Although, I have yet to see the part where Hughes dies.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Say what you will the scene still made no sense.

Yes three eyed old men who are invulnerable to alchemy unless it is ethnic alchemy drinking philosophers stones make perfect sense.

[Stef Kelsey]

Her name is Marta in the anime. She was hiding in Al's armor and Furher Bradley came out and stuck that sword or whatever it was into Al's armor and stabbed her. She died in there too. She was in there hiding from him warning Al to tell Ed that the Furher is a homunculous and to be careful and stuff.

That was actually one of my favorite scenes. It was just so wicked, the imagery. Can you imagine having someone die inside you? And the blood pouring out of his armor. Powerful. That's what attracted me to FMA...some of the imagery, even quick, is amazing.

[Stef Kelsey]

I didnt have any problems with that scene. I like the anime series. Its really good. Although, I have yet to see the part where Hughes dies.

I was actually pretty annoyed about that. He was like the comic relief, then he kicked major ***, so that was kinda anticlimactic.

[Stef Kelsey]

Scenes I loved:
Episode 10:

When Ed accidentally grabs Psiren's boobs while fighting her. That was a riot.

And Episode 13:

The battle between Ed and Roy. Would've been cooler without all the chibi, though.


And I think it was Episode 34:

Ed's reaction after he kills Greed. First off, that was a kickass fight scene. The transition from battle to tears shows that no matter how strong. He's still just a kid. Very powerful, IMO.
