This icon appropriately reflects my reaction to the art on all the kanzenban volumes, really.

[seta_suzume]

Man, the FMA kanzenban volumes look nice (new. official. manga art.)! The last time I was at Kinokuniya they had vol. 11 out (and just one copy of it), and, well, that's the one with Kimblee on the front, so I caved and bought it. [[in Japanese, but the size and coloring of some of the text might give you the general idea] I understood Eikonbu's

He looks very Maes-like with the glasses! Creepy! XD

[bob_fish]

That's what I was about to say! The glasses make him scarier. XD

[seta_suzume]

Ooh, I think so too! I'm with bob_fish- the glasses are scary!

[bob_fish]

That cover is awesome, and I love the rough art. Also, it seems the design of anime #1 Kimbley's crazy hair was down to Arakawa?

[seta_suzume]

Looks like! That was a kind of interesting thing to discover.

[cornerofmadness]

wow this quite lovely. I agree, he looks almost Maes like with glasses and they make him look even more evil. I love it.

[seta_suzume]

I'm happy I was able to share with such an appreciative audience!

I definitely agree about the glasses.

I'm such a derp... for some reason I can never be sure that I have the right house. All the houses in your neighbourhood are clones and I just can't tell. XD Yours is the blue one with all the flowerpots, right...? Or not?

[seta_suzume]

Yes, clone houses! My house is down the cul de sac that's the first left off of Eastbrook and it is yellow! My dad's white car is sitting in the driveway and the garage door is up. :)

[pendelook]

*facepalm* I'll be over again XD XD I have no idea why I can not remember the house!

[seta_suzume]

Awww, it's okay! All the times you come are so spread out, I can see why you'd forget.

[evil_little_dog]

What are these books now?

Ooo, Kimbley - and I agree totally with him looking like Maes with the glasses, which makes him even creepier.

[seta_suzume]

They're reprints of the series, but the volumes are a larger size and contain more chapters than each originally held. The pictures that originally ran in the magazine in color are in color and there's lovely new art on all the covers. The publishers want more of our money. XD

I agree that it's both Maes-like and creepy!

[evil_little_dog]

ah, yes, I'd love to have the manga in a larger size (reading tiny print is difficult for me), so I'd almost be willing to pay more money for another collection, but I doubt they'll get translated. :|

Yes! Like maybe he's Maes's brother or something.

[seta_suzume]

.......Kimbley and Maes as brothers. Woah, there's an idea to think about. (Roy expresses his disapproval of this concept)
