Full Metal Alchemist General

I just realize that in both animes, Ling appears in the 15th episode.

And he's also 15 years old, as well...

Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemiiiiiiiing.

?

I'm going to assume everyone knows about his cameo in 2003 right?

No. First time I heard about it.

In episode 15, when Marcoh was talking about them having to bring in the state alchemist, showing a scene of state alchemist walking from a fiery background one of the state alchemist appears to be Ling, with same hair style, and appearance, except he's wearing the military uniform and sun glasses similar to the type Greed would wear.

It's also on the Continuity Cameo page, for more details.

Also just finished the Laboratory 5 arc, I find it amusing that Edward guest that Lust were working for a person with a God complex, that wants world domination.

I also never understood the scene where Edward goes berserk with power and I never like that Shou Tucker was still alive as well as milking up more of the Nina tragedy, further then it needed to be.

I don't think they milked the tragedy any more than it was worth, and it felt to me like they kept him around strictly for plot reasons. Also, the Edward losing control of his power scene ALWAYS catches me off gaurd cause I completely forget it's there until I see it again. I thought it could be used to establish something for later, but as it stands I think it's one of the few scenes in the whole anime with no real point.

I'll try not to play pedestal though Manga/Brotherhood too had the scene where Edward defeats Pride, that moment too many didn't make sense.

Through all my time I watch 2003 there was a scene I never understood, in episode 35 in one of Lust's flashback we could see her through some organs thing that's beating, what was that?

To be more precise it happens at 19:57.

I think that's supposed to be some other poor sap that Lust seduced, used, then disemboweled in the past.

So that not Scar's bro?

I liked the 2003 anime music better (except the opening and ending themes. Brotherhood just destroys it there.)

That's what you get when you've got so much money on your hands.

And yeah, I agree with you. Brotherhood's Owst has some great tunes, but I mean, come on.

Thats what It thought of when making that post. that tune was just epic. Wait you do realize I was saying the 2003 (not brotherhood) beat brotherhood in sound except opening and ending themes?

Yes, and Brotherhood does have incredible Ops and Eds. Brotherhood had the advantage of a lot more MONAY in the budget, so fluid animation, and great musicians are a lot easier to conjure up from the ether.

2003 didn't have The Intrepid though...

Also watching episode 36 is it me or do the 2003 writers love to portray the ishballans of being ignorant.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh, I don't see it.

When Scar was consider himself to be an exiled to two kids outright hate him and only because of that and even outright saying they don't know the full details, they were hoping Edward would kill him because of that alone.

An ishbal outright attack an alchemist because he didn't like alchemy, and a couple of ishballan made an attempt on harming another exiled.

Yep it writes it as though their religion is discriminating against alchemists. I don't even remember that mentioned though in brotherhood.

The 2003 series tends to do major take that towards religion a lot, what with Christianity being a died out religion due to causing a lot of conflict in the past.

I also find it hard to believe that the transmutation thing that Ed and Al made, went wondering out in the streets on it owns, meeting Dante.

Edit: And I finish the 2003 show meaning next up is the movie.

Meh...

Though it's not given much detail, we're told that Dante had been keeping tabs on the Elrics and knew they'd probably try to bring their mom back with human transmutation, so she was poised to strike when they did.

Yeah but there was a scene shown of that thing moving around with no one to notice it, I find that highly unlikely.
