FMA 41 & 42

[prillalar]

Major spoilers here. And I'm pretty incoherent.



Oh. My. God. There's not another show I watch that makes me gasp out loud while I'm watching. Five times in a 20 minute episode.

Oh, Scar. How I have loved you. How I have wanted things to be right for you. When you said you wouldn't have to long for sleep any more and then you lay down and...

Oh, Lust. You're not as bad as you want us to think. I hope you're happy in the end.

Oh, Ed. You're so earnest and determined. What will you do now?

Oh, Al.

I just can't believe all of this! What can they do now? Still nine episodes left! Was that Hoenhime in the OP? It must have been. And I hope to God that Archer is finally dead. Though he's probably a vampire or something.

They have the stone. But how can they use it now? I can't want them to be restored like this -- they would never be able to live with themselves.

I wonder if Lust had that tendresse for Lujon because he looked like Scar's brother.

This was the first time in weeks I wasn't scared Roy was going to die. But that slow, slow pan in the new ED over all the army personnel and then there was Hughes. Wah!

And I still miss Greed.

Oh my God, this show! This show is so good I just want it to be over so I don't have to suffer any more.

I *wept* Hal. I wept for Scar when he spoke to Lust about Al, Ed and his brother. I wept when he said he would no longer long for sleep and laid down.

Armstrong finally admitted why he'd been following Archer and so cold to Ed and Al. I love him so much.

I'm actually feeling sorry for Lust--I don't think she's going to get to be happy or human. But now I wonder more than ever...are they "born" self aware? Or are they innocent until they eat the red stones? If so, what would have happened if Envy had never found Wrath? I can't help but imagine Izumi having another chance to raise her child.

And, oh god, Ed finally comes face to face with his "sin." How will he tell Al? ("Edward, why couldn't you make me right?" *whimper*)

Was that Hoenhime in the OP? It must have been.

I think it must have been. And what will they say to him? And what will he say to them? What possible excuse will he have for being gone for damn near a decade?

This show is so good I just want it to be over so I don't have to suffer any more.

I feel the same way, yet...I don't want it to be over! It hurts so good.

It was all so very, very wrenching. I want to watch it again, but I'm not sure I have the energy!

FMA catches you unguarded. It´s so fucking good, I never thought I could be this hooked with something I have just discovered a couple of months ago.
And I´m glad that someone as talented as you shares the same passion for the show as me.

I´m going to miss Scar, too.

Yeah, I really didn't expect to find a show this good! It's so complex and doesn't make it easy for the viewer at all.

I don't really have much by way of commentary, esp on the early eps, since I pretty much sucked down 1-25 in a week or two. But if you want to talk about it, just email me. :) How many eps do you have?

FMA is in my top ten shows of all time, easy. Probably in the top five.

You're so right about this damn show. I loved the moment where Roy knocked on Al!

[prillalar]

Hee! Roy's such a sweetie. A deeply disturbed sweetie, but still a sweetie.

Yeah. What you said. All of it.

I mainlined 38-42 today, after having them for quite a while and failing to get up the nerve to watch them. Cried for most of 41 and 42, and have been sniffly off and on ever since.

Somebody had spoiled me for Scar's death, which was part of why I kept not watching -- and then I just kept praying it would be a *good* death, at least, that it would mean something and not be wasted. And boy, was it ever.
I wanted him to find a way to be happy somehow. I wanted Al to get through to him. This show kills me.

(And eep, I want the next ones so bad! Can't seem to find functioning torrents for them anywhere.)

Did you try Shinsen? If that doesn't work, let me know and maybe we can work something out.
