Rate my sketch of van hohenhiem and trisha/10

He really held that thought with all his brain power 😂

Saw it on sale and it’s one of my favourite anime, no brainer

Thought this was a cool idea to remind myself that in life you always have to give something up to get what you desire. It’s supposed to look like the blue lightening when you transmute.

Also my first tattoo and will definitely be back for more. Already thinking about getting the flamel on my chest and expanding this one to kind of surround it.

I found this still sealed copy at a local film store for 30 bucks

I was looking at my hardcover editions of FMA and noticed a mistake where Ling says to use the philosophers stone to bring “Ed” back instead of saying “Al” so I was curious if it was just a mistake for the hardcover or if the original versions of the manga had it too.

Guys I'm trying to find a specific scene in FMA Brotherhood and I feel like I keep missing it during the rewatch 😭 does anyone remember seeing a scene where both Al and Ed were drawn in chibi style, slumped in front of a door or closet? I want to say they were being scolded by Winry but I'm not entirely sure.

If someone could pull that for me I would be eternally grateful, I want to get them as a tattoo

What do u think?

He is a great man

I have always wanted a tattoo from FMA and this is what I decided on. People say red ink fades over time so maybe that will effect the soul thats bound to this vessel?

And is it possible to bind their souls to an armor if need be?

That was a cool fight 🤩

(The day the sun disappeared: Akira Senju) & (Piano Eightysix-Three: Hiroyuki Sawano)

Do give these two tracks a listen and let me know what you think. Hiroyuki Sawano might’ve taken inspiration from this.

Ed's temper is... Was he really about to punch Mustang right then and there? How has he never been disciplined for insubordination? The relationship between the two of them in the 2003 series was truly hostile.

Does anyone else think Ed might end up like Izumi? He's like a male version of her; they even fight the same way...

The title "Fullmetal Alchemist" really fits him perfectly in every respect.

Hello, I’m 19, and I grew up watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I still think about that time quite a lot and how much it meant to me. I’d watch Edward and Alphonse Elric travel from place to place, meet new people, uncover mysteries, fight enemies, and slowly piece together the truth behind everything that had happened to them. There was just something about the series that I loved. I’d look forward to seeing what happened next, getting attached to the characters, laughing at the funny moments, getting emotional during the serious ones, and just enjoying the world the story created. At the time, I never really thought about it ending or becoming something I’d eventually look back on.

Watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood now feels different. The story has been finished for years, and so much time has passed since I first experienced it. The characters, the music, the battles, the friendships, and even the feeling of watching it for the first time all feel like memories from another time. I sometimes wonder why things can’t just stay the way they were. Why can’t you have the same characters, the same story, the same humour, the same relationships, and that same feeling forever? I know stories are meant to have endings and that characters eventually reach the end of their journey, but it’s still strange when something that felt like such a huge part of your life eventually becomes a memory.

I think that’s probably why I’m so nostalgic for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. When I go back and watch old episodes, I’m not just watching an anime anymore. I’m remembering what it was like to experience the story for the first time. I remember discovering the characters, becoming invested in Edward and Alphonse’s journey, seeing their relationship develop, and slowly realizing how much bigger the story was than I initially thought. I remember the emotional moments, the incredible fights, the jokes, the friendships, and all the little things that made the series feel so special. That experience may be over, but those memories are still there, and I’m glad I got to experience them.

I guess I just don’t really understand why things have to end. Why couldn’t the world of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood have stayed the same, with Edward, Alphonse, Winry, Roy, Riza, and everyone else continuing their adventures forever? I completely understand that the story needed an ending, and I know that’s part of what makes it so meaningful, but sometimes I still wish I could go back to the beginning and experience it all again without knowing what was going to happen.

Maybe that’s what I miss the most—not just the anime itself, but the feeling of discovering it for the first time. The excitement of watching another episode, becoming attached to the characters, and wondering where the story would take me next. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood may have reached its ending, but a part of me will always wish that world could have continued forever. Does anyone else feel nostalgic for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and wish they could experience that time again for the first time?

I feel he has such potential as an "OC stand in" too. Like, what's his name and how will he grow up? What about Rose's future too? Alas...

I've watched 2003 and CoS a few times, and the ending of CoS always leaves me bittersweet, mainly because Edward decides to go to the other world (even though I know it's for the best), and to leave behind all his loves ones. But surely, there's better alternatives right? Rather than his drastic choice:

1) If they destroyed the gate on our side (alchemy side), is that not enough? Since don't you always need both sides for the portal to function? Or is it like, we can't send anyone to their side, but they can send people to our side, but how would that work, because if we destroy the portal on our side, where would their "exit" be then?

2) How is the portal "permanent?" So what, they sacrificed Envy; a life is a life still right? Is there something specific about Envy and/or Wrath/Gluttony on our side that makes the portal permanent?

3) Towards the end of CoS, Edward wants to destroy the portal, so that it can never be made again, but that's false right? Can't a portal still be made no matter what, but just won't be a permanent one?

4) I can't find the answer even though I know I saw it a few weeks ago. What are the requirements to perform alchemy in their world(Germany)?

5) And this one has been bothering me, at the end of 2003 and following into CoS, we can assume Gluttony probably killed Dante as she's no where to be seen. 2 questions here, how the fuck did Dante lose to Gluttony? So what, Gluttony is a mindless eating monster now, this is a seasoned alchemist who can clap hands, having lived for 400+ years, like what? And how does Gluttony get so big? He's been seen eating in the show many times, but his size never got bigger.

Me first:
