I still think the most horrifying bit is the part where two young boys with the best of intentions play around with a force they don't fully understand and it takes their bodies away.

Later on they run into a nice seeming adult and he uses the same power to permanently mix his daughter and her dog.

And those parts are in both.

[up] 2003 also does an extreme close up on that thing face followed by Ed's screams as the background goes dark with only the word ''Fullmetal Alchemist''.

And let not forget being tied up in some cold truck, being nearly close to being chopped to death into little pieces!

It's a very interesting mix of Nightmare Fuel and Tear Jerker whee we get Izumi's and Wrath's flshback to his creation.

Who can blame her for tossing him back into The Gate after seeing what he looked like. He must have seemed a monster, whatever his small and feeble appearance.

Then comes Izumi's look of regret and horror as The Gate closes and it's followed by her blood-curdling scream.

Yep, FMA is a creepy franchise in general when you think about it.

I know, I just didn't find 2003 Wrath particularly scary.

His lust for Edward's body is offputting, if that counts for anything.

[up][up] Grrr!!

[up] That sounds kinda wrong.

Then again,maybe it could be kinda right. Never thought of Ed x Wrath.

I remember that too. Anime Wrath does have hits creepy moments.

Really overshadowed by his cuteness though.

[up][up] Well to make it more clear, licking the arm that Wrath's stoled from Ed at the gate, and wear it around throughout the series in till the end.

So I'm on the final disk of the first anime (again) and I have to say, the way Ed and Izumi just leave Shou Tucker is...kinda fucked up.

He may be alive but after his failed attempt to bring back Nina's soul, he lost whatever grips he had on sanity left. He'll presumably spend the rest of his days talking to his soulless Nina doll.

It would have been a kindness to kill him.

So Anime Tucker was a persistent source of creepiness and depression. His raspy whisper voice, his upside-down face, the fact he was doing everything to bring back his daughter... It was some pretty serious and sad stuff.

Even still, I can't believe I didn't take note of this.

Hm...something seems off with the guy in the back right.

Looks sorta like a big turtle, in a coat and hat.

Let talk about one thing on one would ever imagine talking about...Trailers!

This one in particular is epic!

And in others news, I've been reading the Manga lately.

Let just say it simply epic reading it, while imagining the characters voices from the dub playing, and imaging tracks from both show playing in your head.

Shau Tucker's whisper is the second creepiest voice in any anime I have ever seen.

Also, when you first see the Gate in Brotherhood. Little black hands of utter terror. Gosh, being dragged away screaming by little black arms and hands. Terrifying. A kid getting dragged? Even worse. A kid getting dragged while screaming for his mother and brother? Petrifying.

If you want any of my avatars, just Pm me I'd truly appreciate any avatar of a reptile sleeping in a Nice Hat Read Elmer Kelton books

Don't Go With Strangers

Man, now I have this site and am not terribly afraid of my vids all being deleted right away, I should go back and make more awesome clips.

Like when Feury was diagnosed with Athlete's Foot which they believed was now effecting his brain so he had to be hospitalized.

Or Greed's awesome rant about what being Greed means.

It's funny that the first Greed seemed a lot more heroic in the first anime. Well, maybe less villainous is the better way to put it.

[up] Speaking of Athlete's Foot, this dialogue between Ling and Ed was very amusing.

Ling: You don't have Athlete's Foot, do you? Ed: MY FOOT IS MADE OF METAL YOU IDIOT!

(should be close, at least)

Also, Greedlin beats both of the other Greeds. Also, Botherhood Greed1 went out in an awesome way- and after coming back, even snarked on that.

Sorry but I really love Chris Patton's performance. Baker is nice but it's just not the same.

There two different Greed (as far as appearance goes) it bound to not be the same

And then there the fact that after playing the original Greed, Mr.Patton retired.

My opinion may go against common FMA fan consensus for all I know, but oh well: As far as I'm concerned, Troy Baker is the better Greed. Chris Patton's pretty damn good, still, nothing against him, but there's just something about Mr. Baker's voice acting that I prefer. Can't quite place a finger on it, but Troy Baker always gave Greed a little bit of class and just a dash of ruthlessness as well as the humor and badassery and easy-going charm that Greed exudes already. That and he gives one of my favorite lines from the dub, from episode 56 of Brotherhood (or possibly 57):

GREEDLING: Thanks for saving my ass, old man.

OLD MAN FU (paraphrasing here): It was not your ass I was saving, it was the Young Lord.

GREEDLING: Well, it's the same ass.

Makes me snicker every time. The line's funny, the delivery even better :)
