![]() ![]() Cela tient à peu de choses mais les arrangements faits dans l'agencement des apparitions, les scènes ajoutées, la révélation bien plus précoce de leurs backgrounds, leur donnent une place bien plus importante mais aussi plus pertinente et logique, vis-à-vis des liens que l'on devine dans le manga.ĭans ce dernier, ils restent trop superficiels. La structure narrative, bien que le fond et bien des scènes soient stricto-sensu les mêmes, est un poil différente.ĭ'une certaine façon, celle de l'anime profite d'avantage à l'impact émotionnel et affectif entre les personnages et entre le lecteur et les personnages secondaires. Laughed at the end of book extras, Al's Big Hairstyle Strategy, and Pinako Rockbell in a bikini.īon, le fait d'avoir vu la première adaptation récemment m'embrouille un peu et je ne peux pas m'empêcher de comparer.Ĭ'est pour ça que, normalement, je lis toujours l'oeuvre originale d'abord, pour garder un regard neutre.ĭu coup, je vais noter ici les premiers constats de cette lecture influencée. There is a third female character that appears with them, but I can't find where she's identified. Gluttony (ew!) and Lust were awesome additions. The introduction of two female characters (Pinako Rockbell and Winry) and the dog with a metal leg helped balance out the testosterone factor. I did laugh at Edward's knee jerk reaction whenever his height was mentioned. Edward's constant anger and frustration was more understandable once he and Al's backstory was told, and with repetition of their ages, it sunk in how young these kids are. I kept reading, because trusted Good Reads friends raved about this series.Īs books 2 and 3 developed, plot and character-wise, I began to enjoy the story. His constant anger and aggression was a complete turn off. In book 1 I disliked Edward from the very beginning. An angry face figure in the bottom corner says "that's not true". ![]() 2 we will be switching protagonists and the series will be retitled "Flame Alchemist". I loved the "Extra" page where a laughing Roy says "in Vol. With the introduction at the end of book 1 of Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist, my interest picked up greatly. Their brotherhood (ha) is beautifully developed right from the beginning, and I can already tell that not only is this story going to be insanely amazing, but the characters are going to be the death of me as well. I love how not only do the Elric brothers draw strength from their superhuman bodies and their insane alchemic abilities, but they also draw strength from each other. There's wonderfully-timed backstory that really instills a sense of purpose in the readership and helps them to care about Edward and Al and all that they're pursuing. Just in this first bind-up alone, the audience gets to know so much about the Elric brothers and the nature of their relationship. Not only that, but the characters are fantastic. ![]() The series manages to be so insightful and daring yet extremely funny with a healthy helping of action and scenes where the characters get to use their extraordinary powers to kick some serious ass. The writing and the dialogue can switch on a dime from being cheeky, sarcastic, and whimsical to musing about the flow of the universe and how humans are connected to everything. I'm talkin' laugh-out-loud, emit inhuman noises, grab your aching rib-cage kind of hilarious. Not only is the artwork amazing and not only does this fantasy series showcase plenty of awe-inspiring, badass moments, but it's absolutely hilarious. I was so surprised by the start of this series. If you are not familiar with manga, this is a great introduction to the style and themes commonly used by Japanese authors.Īfter years of people telling me that FMA is their favorite anime/manga series of all time, I finally understand that sentiment on a spiritual level. Of course, I absolutely recommend this series. I also enjoyed the thematic pages between some chapters. It's so funny, the author has a great sense of humor. Because that is what all the great stories have in common, the ability to answer what it means to be human.Īlso, I loved the special content added in the editions such as the short strips and the in memoriam. Its also nice to see the main themes of loss, grief, hope and humanity being developed as the narrative evolves. The characters are fantastic, very well rounded and developed even the ones that don't get a lot of screen time. She can balance very well the comical and dramatic moments of the narrative and blend them very well, they never seem to clash at all. It's impressive the art style of Hiromu Arakawa. This is the best search for the philosopher's stone of the modern era. How could I give this masterpiece anything other than 5 stars? This is the manga of a generation, the tale of the Elric brothers is one that must be told time and time again. ![]()
