Well, the finale of FMA was...eh, about what I expected, actually. It was alright, I guess in a way, it was as good and upbeat as it could be considering the situation and events
( Read more... )
Hm? Al sacrificed himself for his brother Ed, then Ed sacrificed himself for Al. However, apparently, equivelent exchange was more real than Donde thought. Since Ed had more to exchange than the cost for his brother, the "leftover" covered his trip through the gate and to...Germany, pre-WWII, oddly enough. (I still don't get that, and was in the other room when it came back from comercial AND missed most of the episode he went to Germany before...so I was kinda clueless about that, cept he didn't have automail, but a wooden limb(s?))
However, Al apparently remembered more than it seemed, as though his memories seemed gone, I think they were more burried. As the stone, his spirit knew how to use alchemy without a circle, without even forming a circle with his arms like Ed and their Teacher and Wrath did. Also some of the knowledge of the Gate possibly remained with him. In either case, he seemed to believe he retained some of the knowledge needed to find Ed. But Ed's in a world without alchemy...
...regardless, the brothers make a promise to themselves and each other, even being in possibly different worlds and possibly different times, that they'll find a way back to each other. Overall, that's not a sad ending to me. It's kind of an open one, but not a sad one, since their determination has thus far led them to find what they were seeking, along with a lot more.
I was kinda worried they killed Mustang for a minute, he was like my favorite of the State Alchemists...well, him or the Lt girl with the gun. She was cool. Though one thing still bothered me...where did Envy (in the form of a dragon) end up, and what happened to Gluttony after he (presumably) ate Donde...?
ok... Ed's in london not germany... and they probably dont have automail makers back then so that explains the woodeness... and it was the memories that he exchanged to get Al back... and Al remembers everything before he was 10 and the others have probably filled him in on most of the rest...
You were right, it was Germany. Not London. And the whole thing is supposed to be exactly the same, only instead of using Alchemy they depend on science (so there's also alternate versions of the same people -but different- there). So good guys can be bad, bad can be good. And all that.
And I think the rest of those are answered in the movie.
