A bunch of rants I cooked up (one with the help of a friend) and am posting out of impulse and anger.
Warning, spoilers for the manga chapters abound, upto the latest.
(
Defense for everyone's favourite Automail mechanic, Winry Rockbell. Also reasons why she rocks )
(ps: HarryGinny reminds me of Almei while RonMione of Edwinry 8D)
Yeah, that's basically it. most even admit it (I can appreciate their honestly). i've come across a few EdRose fans who try to reason why they hate manga!Winry, saying she's more egotistical than manga!Winry and not as funny... hur hurr :B.
Well, I mostly get annoyed at how they gave her a pointless story yet ruined the stories of people like paninya and etc, because she isn't so "pretty" and "delicate" and "angsty" I suppose. i really hate that mentality of people, when they cry about Rose being unappriciated and Arakawa being mean to minor characters when they blatantly ignore this fact and... yeah.
Besides, Arakawa's use is much more flattering for Rose, I'd say. For the Anime, i understand bad stuff happens in war, but the way her story was executed left her as a character-less doll and really... Iunno. I like how the manga has her dragging Winry away a la Hughes, having a gigantic closet with organized colours, and a rubber ducky with an eyepatch. That says so much more about her than some tragedies she gos through. After all, tragedies don't define a person, how they react to them do, and the Anime never showed that.
I know ._.;... it's mostly adults who cna't stand a character who doesn't do angst. they're against us, I say D:.
Yess, Almei needs more love. (I need to write something of them, and draw them more)
