FMA blues
I..... can't believe it's really over. FullMetal Alchemist... is done. *weeps*
(long wangsty post on my thoughts of the episode can be found here)
But the show is not really done, you know? And that's part of why this bugs me so much. They went through so much, and sacrificed themselves for the other so many times without a second thought, and now... Al and Ed are separated and Al doesn't remember what happened. Which may be a good thing, but beyond the point. They're apart and are starting this new journey to find their way to the other. And this is where the show ends? That's not an ending, that's a new beginning! How can they actually end the show here? I want to know what happens, damn it! ;_____;
.... Okay, I know there's a movie. And though I don't know much about this movie, I do know that it involves the Elric brothers (older versions, woo!) and.... uh, well that's pretty much it. ^^; I have seen some pictures from the movie (mostly on "non-spoiler" icons and Friend Only banners), but I'm rather conflicted if I should pursue more spoilers, or even (Gasp!) watch the sub of the movie.
Part of me is like, "No, Jade! Don't spoil the movie! Be strong and wait for the English dub theater-or-dvd release on October 3rd!" *angelic halo*
But the other part of me is saying "Damn it girl, I know you can't wait SEVEN MONTHS to find out what happens to Ed and Alphonse. Watch the movie! See it in the original Japanese with English subtitles! Watch it, watch it, watch it!" *slams fist through wall*
>___________< What to do, what to do....
But this problem has given me a new-found respect for those Avatar fans who avoided the Episode 21 spoilers and waited until it aired on tv. For me, I didn't have a problem waiting for the new Avatar ep. In fact, I was a little apathetic towards it up until it actually aired. But I read what some fans were saying about how tempting the spoilers were, and how they were really having trouble staying spoiler-free, but were determined to wait until they saw it on tv. Although I sympathized with them, I didn't really understand how they felt until now. And wow, it's really hard! ^^;;;
....Wait. Does this make me a bigger FullMetal Alchemist fan than an Avatar: The Last Airbender fan? o_o; Ehehe, uh-oh. ^^; Although I do admit, I'm a much bigger fan of FMA now that it has ended. It's always been one of my most favorite shows, but I think I took it for granted before. I didn't really pay attention in the beginning, couldn't remember half of the casts' names nor the geography, and I always called Ed "Al" in 'ZOMG-Watch-Out!' moments. --;; But I love this show. I love the music, and the animation, the characters, voice acting, and plot. Love it, love it, love it. I suppose it took the final episode in order for me to realize it all. And to finally stop calling Ed "Al", lyke wtf.
But I fell in love with ATLA instantly. Heck, I started working on my fansite for it an hour after I saw the episode for the first time. ^^; But my love for Avatar is more subdued, I guess. Perhaps it is from my overexposure to it due to constantly working on the fansite. I know all of the character names, most of the geography, inane little facts that don't matter, and a lot more than what I'll ever remember from FMA. And yet, my love for FMA feels stronger. I don't get it.
*sighs* Anyway. I feel a little bit better now, which means I can actually go to sleep. YAY. For now, I will stay strong and avoid FMA movie spoilers. Even spoilers so little as a general three sentence movie summary. -.-; I'll also try to complete the new Avatar episode updates tomorrow, which I totally failed to finish today. -________-;
(And on a sidenote, it seems that I do not have any (serious) weepy-wangsty icons. With over 200 icons in my collection, how is that possible? And I call myself an FMA fan... 9_6)
