FMA: Brotherhood - Episode 4

Apr 29, 2009 04:30

Particularly unfunny entry, because it just feels WRONG to make Nina funny. :(

Anyway, this episode--Holy damn. Just...wow. I'll spazz later, but I thought that knowing what was going to happen would have desensitized me and made it feel like less of an impact. I was wrong.

Every time I watch it its like a new punch in the gut. I don't know what the Hell Bones is doing, but damn, are they doing it right.


This wasn't in the manga! Doesn't keep it from being awesome, though.


I see a sexy hobo! :D


Fuck it if it wasn't in the manga. This is AWESOME!



Scar. Can't be beat by cannons, can't be beat by flying chains, but beaten by a box.


Or not. Bye, General Grand. The manliest guy on this whole fucking show.


Okay, second manliest. XD


Glad we got to see the whole Central-tachi. Denny and Maria don't get enough screen time.


Totally not creepy.


Yay Mustang-tachi!


And all the Yoki we're getting for a while, I bet.


I recognize Fuery's voice from somewhere, but I can't quite place it. Anyone know who it is?


And so enter the Elric brothers! With QUALITY tagging along.


"Damn Bones...they spent most of their budget on the second half of this episode."


Mustang is on a mission to make his eyes look squintier.


More QUALITY.


Whoever wrote that has worse handwriting than I do.


"I knew it! You really are planning to sell me to a midget farm!"
"Of course not--They didn't pay enough."


"He made a chimera that could talk, but it only said one thing--
'I want a hair trimmer.'


DOGS. They fly.


Ninaaaaaa. T_T


"See? Aren't I the picture of a normal guy?"


Looks like QUALITY decided to retreat, for now.


"Umm, Mr. Tucker--"
"What? They're backlit."


RIP YOUR HEART OUT MOMENT #1


I love it when Ed geeks out.


"I guess genuises--who also happen to be little boys--really do exist, ehheheh..."


Bookworm!Ed is the cutest thing ever.


Nina is watching you.


RIP YOUR HEART OUT MOMENT #2


CUTENESS OVERLOAD!


Ed's just mad they started the party without him.


Midgets make great chew toys.


"That's right. I am FullMetal!" *crazy laugh*


Nina, GET AWAY FROM THE SCARY MAN!


D'awwww.


Why does he get one?


RIP YOUR HEART OUT MOMENT #3


I liked that they added this moment. It was a nice touch.


"C'mon girls, work those buns!"


Edward Elric wants YOU to point him towards the nearest Philosopher's Stone.


New Summer Blockbuster: Attack of the Killer Hand!


RIP YOUR HEART OUT MOMENT #3


Fanbrats make Nina cry.


RIP YOUR HEART OUT MOMENT #4


Nina, do NOT play with the scary man!


I love Ed's smile here.


We meet again, Foreshadowing.


"Why Hello there." 3



"Would you two little boys like to come play in my 'labratory'?"
So instead of gay jokes, for FMA I'm doing child molester jokes? O.o



Is it...is it wrong that I kind of find it cute?
(Lol, Bones just turning down the Nina voice.)



Ed's giddy face IS kind of cute, though.



Until, that is, the episode turns from "how cute" to "OMFGWHYYYYYY?!"

Okay, from here on out, its just commentary and no jokes, because I just can't make fun of something so intense.


"Where did Nina and Alexander go?"
A shiver ran up my spine at that.



Finally he turned that backlit off so we could meet his crazy eyes.

The next few pictures are what you are treated to if you watch Ed's LUNGE! in slow mo. Lots of ANGRY ED and shots that could be used for awesome icons.










Holy damn, Romi has this bit spot on. Ed's screaming is amazing.




I love this line.
"Human life? What about you, FullMetal Alchemist? What about your arm and your brother? Isn't that also playing with human life?"



Well c'mon, Tucker. He didn't turn Al into a walking tin can on PURPOSE.



Have some CINEMATOGRAPHY.



Holy shit, Ed. You're almost as scary as Mustang when you're angry.



Okay, the minute Ed goes like this and the sad music starts, I was bawling.




And whenever it gets to this part, it still feels like a punch in the gut.



Some trauma!Ed. (And here I thought last week's trauma!Ed face was awesome).



This would also make an excellent icon. Angry Ed is awesome.



"My precious..."

Tucker/Watch. OTP.



More trauma!Ed.



And some angst!Ed to go with it. (I can't decide what's better--trauma!Ed or angst!Ed).



Another brilliant line.
"We're not gods, or devils...just HUMAN BEINGS! Insignificant human beings...who can't even save one little girl."

Angst it, Ed.



And more Sexy Hobo for you.

Then people die (*SOB!*) and it ends.

Okay so, about this episode--HOLY FUCK. It was INTENSE. Everything--the animation, the voice acting, and the music--all combined to make one big HOLYSHITFUCK at the end. It made me cry, and still makes me sad face whenever I watch it, it's THAT intense. Romi Park's voice acting was BRILLIANT and that combined with the music--GUHHH. T_T

So next week we'll go back to the usual (hopefully) funnies with some fights with a Sexy Hobo, but as for this week--BRB, Angsting. T_T

capsummary, omg, fma
