FMA Manga

I love the manga so far, but the anime definitely improved on the train incident. Hughes wasn't in that in the manga. ;__; **sniffle.** He was one of the best things about the episode. XD

Stacey: **hijacks!** I know I love Runi! He's such a cool and deep character that I find it impossible not to take an interest in him. Its the same with Khu, in a way. ^^ I love both of them, and they really do make great additions to your stories!

Right on, gov!

I vaguely remember anything about the FMA manga. I read it over a long spand of time . . . during finals I think. X_x;;; But I know what you mean. There are elements I like from both parts. Kinda how I'm feeling about Hellsing at the moment. The anime really went about with a freakishly awesome bang. But I love the direction the original manga took. You will never find a better villian classic than a Nazi. I think that's what makes the idea that the new Hellsing anime. It's kinda like getting it both ways. XP Hooray for that manga-ka since he was willing to put that much effort to see that the new one gets made.

Yay! I've had the commentary running through my head. XD;; **thinking about watching it again** I do so very much love good commentaries.

And Alexander is adorable. Hell, even Dartz is failing to deny it. XP He tries so very hard to keep the annoyed act up

Whether or not the colorful language is accurate is a matter of opinion, I suppose. Words in Japanese can be translated in a lot of different ways. There are some words in Japanese that would actually not be that bad to Americans, but would seriously offend a Japanese person. Words like that might be intensified by a translator in order to capture the same effect.

I agree with you on developing people in RP. I have found that it is very difficult to develop a character's personality without having RPed them first. When you RP with another person, it makes things a lot more random, giving you a better chance to experiment with how your character reacts to certain people and situations. XD

I see. That's interesting about the translations. I would imagine it's true, too.

**nods.** And even with canon characters, it's better to RP them before writing stories about them. I'm pretty sure I did that with the bikers.

I love OCs in anything, if they are done well. Like any canon character, they have to be well crafted. In essence, it is not the character but the writer. I remember writing a REALLY long guide to writing a YGO OC once. It included romance (ha ha) and everything. I was gonna post it in my journal but my friend said her bro deleted it off her janime account and that was the only copy >

[insaneladybug]

Blah, too bad it got deleted. It sounds like it was interesting. XD

Yeah, a good OC is a tricky thing to accomplish. I hate it when any OC suddenly takes the spotlight and the canon characters are all pushed to the side, though. There must be a balance.
