Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 56
Probably some spoilers for 57 too because BAAAAAW, I accidentally stepped on a manga landmine...
Warning: This post will probably make me sound like a complete fanbrat idiot.
HOLY CRAP WRATHFUL KING BRADLEY
THE VIOLENCE. THE BLOOD.
CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP ;A;
...so he broke a tank with one sword. And somehow Buccaneer's stomach muscle is harder than that of a tank's metal. And fortunately Bradley can't regenerate another sword...or that he didn't bring more swords with him.
I love how he said there's no logic in coming back to one's home through the back door though.
SO. BUCCANEER. I kinda got spoiled that something bad will happen to him way back, I just didn't know how bad it would be - injured, badly injured, or death. So when Wrath dismantled his automail I was like CRAP. But no big deal, it's just an automail! And then his sword went through his stomach I was like SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII----
...but he's alive and well still, so yay. Until I watched that freaking preview, and for whatever reason the person who puts together the preview always has to put something of importance into there. Since the next episode is titled 永遠の暇 (Eternal Rest), we know someone is dying next week for sure. At first it looks like it's going to be Fu as he seems pretty screwed against Wrath in the preview (and it makes sense; there's no way a major villain such as Wrath would die in the hands of Fu, and if the new OP was right it should be a Wrath/Scar face-off in the end?), but NO. THEY JUST HAD TO USE SOME OLIVIER FOOTAGE WHEN HE SAID "さらば、我が主" (Goodbye, my lord) IN THAT DAMNED PREVIEW (;д;)|||| And technically Olivier is a master-like existence to Buccaneer, so is Ling to Fuu. Now connect the dots and tada! ...
DO NOT WANT. MAJOR DO NOT WANT ;A; ;A; ;A;
And now that Mustang's coup d'état is backfiring for they gambled on pinning all their support onto Bradley, it's hard, but let's push all the blame onto Briggs and Olivier and sell them out in order to save Mustang's reputation! Dirty backstabbing from the good guy's part, something cool that you won't see often in the world of anime right?
...NO. I'm like crying for Olivier now. The Briggs soldiers suffer such heavy losses in this battle (probably heavier than Mustang's group anyway), she herself got badly injured from the fight with Sloth and with one of her most trusted subordinate dying on the way...oh god, all those loyal soldiers that she had trained and trusted these years simply vanish within a day. THIS IS MADNESS.
Roy Mustang, please prove yourself to be one good man till the very end when this is all over, i.e.: Never abandoning and sacrificing your fallen allies in order to save yourself. You are only 7 more episodes away from that, come on, keep it up! I shall never forgive you if you do decide to sell out Olivier/Briggs. No, pleading with your sexy Lockon voice won't help either!
In the end I still haven't decided whether I want Buccaneer/Olivier or Miles/Olivier (Olivier/Mustang is always there for the crack, but ultimately I still ship Roy/Riza!). Buccaneer has a funnier personality, while Miles is always so strict and business-serious. But so far the only significant Miles/Olivier interactions we have seen were that "I WILL FREAKING KILL YOU!!" flashback and him admitting that it's Olivier who made him realize his value of serving in the military. There might be more in the manga though ufufuf. Buccaneer, however, the snowgazing scene with Olivier was just full of win *O* It was lovely that Olivier let them in after the 24 hours limit, and then Buccaneer sent Izumi to help her out this time in return even though he was ordered to abandon and let her die. Plus wouldn't it be adorable with all those Buccaneer little sweet girl crushes yet the one he likes at the end is the Queen of Ice? *W* ♥ Nevermind the fact that Miles is already married anyway lol.
Don't know where is Miles during all these. Hopefully not drinking tea with Grumman still. Or whatever his name is in English.
Eh-hem. Please ignore my wild imagination. Of course Olivier can still be awesome and remain single while Alex teases her on that ever after.
Hopefully you can tell that Olivier is my favourite character in the whole show by now rofl.
A-Anyway. I sort of wished that Olivier had taken the Führer's seat last episode to take command as things have gotten real messy at Wrath's return now and all the Briggs soldiers need at this very moment is a good commander (scared!Falman was awesome this episode though!), but I guess that scene did have a significance on how the seat was ultimately meant to be Mustang's.
Point form now because once again, this is getting too long...
-Fuu avenging Ran Fan's arm was sweet, especially after we were shown him slapping his granddaughter earlier.
-Out of everything Father just has to look like Pride lol.
-I love Maria Ross' voice so so much. Kudos to Nazuka Kaori for pulling that out nicely even though a mature woman role isn't exactly what she's known for!
-WRATH IS FRICKING SCARY ;A; Watching the tank scene seriously gives me goose bumps...
-I love Greedling. Best combination ever lol.
-Still waiting for a omg!I-actually-loved-my-family Pride/Wrath/Mrs.Bradley reunion.
-I can't wait for Olivier finally finding out that Izumi was the one who attacked the Briggs troops 20 years ago either. It would be hilarious.
I-I should write about Durarara and some other shows that I'm watching too. But I have been too into FMA nowadays, especially with all the hype it has created with the announcement of the end of its manga which has been running for almost 10 years...
