So, Naruto 353 is out.
That's a nice chapter. Mostly performing Sir Leader speaking about stuff that happened in the last 12143126531 chapters.
( And there's Itachi! Itachi saying HIS LINE! )

naruto, fullmetal alchemist

I always figured Riza would be a wet blanket when it came to relationships, but not Winry. -_-;

tomoe_daeva May 12 2007, 00:09:18 UTC

Winry in the manga is so useless ;_; Wasn't she some proud mechanic with her interests and her ambitions--? When she turned into an average girl who wants to stay close to his beloved childhood friend D: ?

And pedo!Kimbly XD ? My fandom really need that, yeah...

Not that I'm interested in FullMetal Alchemist for its romance (I prefer its comedy, really), but, yeah, you're right. No one really needs Alponse/Mei. And, ZOMG!! NOT KIMBLEY!!! T_T HE'S TOO BEAUTIFUL!!

*absolutely intolerate towards western drama shows* >_>;;

tomoe_daeva May 12 2007, 11:21:16 UTC

Well, I prefer action and see how the characters relationships evolve >_> And I don't mean "relationship" for their romantic purposes only... In the manga they are all the same. Girls are utterly devoted to their boys, the villains are bothering pansies who spend 71 chapters by threatening people instead of kill them and between love and hate there's only comradeship (very similar to the love thing, BTW).
Kimbly is ridiculous. And "beautiful" is quite inappropriate, unless you are in love with such round face and pointy noises.

Well, I utterly hated the shows I mentioned.
It's quite bothering that they are better than FMA manga under certain aspects--

Thank you as always Daeva for updates in animes or mangas it's been a saver on braincells for me. <3 I've been rather busy with actual story writing, and my zodiac rp to fish out anything naruto or fma based shockingly. o.o;

I will hope to get the challenge fics out soon specially the one you gave me five weeks ago I think.

well must begin writing I've got Death reapers, Zodiac, and Crimson Demise to plan.

You're welcome ^^

The manga is constantly giving my inner feminist fits with the way Riza and Winry do everything for their men all of the damn time. In the anime, they helped Roy and Ed but like their lives didn't totally revolve around them and they didn't supplicate themselves to make them cooler. Plus the huge focus on the Xing characters and the manga just gives me a constant feeling of tl;dr.

And again, no Archer. I mean wtf Arakawa didn't know greatness when she saw it.

tomoe_daeva May 12 2007, 11:27:06 UTC

Well, I'm FAR AWAY from being a feminist but yeah, my god, it's A BOTHER.
You know, Winry and Riza were retty passive also in the anime, but they were also kind of stoic, expecially Winry: she kept herself away from Ed but she obviously loves him hard.
I don't quite understand the presence of the Xing characters (well, Mei is needed for her medical skillz, and Ling/Ran is there to make the dark side of Roy/Riza); 'til now they are pretty indifferent to me.

Archer isn't needed since she add already a bunch of sly villains; too bad that their motivations are quite stupid XD

What is she doing to Kimbley?! He's all weird and liking Winry. D: Do not want. In general, I prefer the manga form of a series to the anime form, but this is too much. @__@;; No Archer and pedo!Kimbley = epic fail.

tomoe_daeva May 12 2007, 12:09:18 UTC

I think that this "I'm a villain but I'm a gentleman, be amazed by my ambiguos behaviour!" attitude is getting kind of boring ;_; It would be nice if one charater was like that but they are all like this (see Raven and Bradley ;_;)!!

regeneration May 12 2007, 12:12:39 UTC

Yeah. It was cool at first, but he needs more development. ;__; All the bad guys are getting quite similar. (Except, oh my gawd, I did not see Pride!Selim coming. O__O)

tomoe_daeva May 12 2007, 12:26:01 UTC

Exactly ;_; There's a good amount of villains in FMA but they are all so not bastard. They are kinda wicked, yeah but-- No bastards (which is my favourite kind of villain), the ones who like to hurt you by letting you down.
Yup! Pride!Selim made me happy in my pantieeees :D But I bet that he's going to turn boring in the next two chapters XD He already reminded me of Father in this new chapter >_>
