I just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist.
I have one thing to say:
*brains go splat*
I so entirely didn't see (most of) that coming at all, even having already seen up to episode 43 previously.
...I really don't know what I think of that at all.
I am very belatedly fangirling over Greed and Lust. Two extremely kick-ass characters; they did their thing with perseverance and dignity.
Even Gluttony was cute and sad near the end, pining over Lust, right before Dante wiped his "mind".
Wrath... Well, Wrath kept getting loonier and loonier, and you don't find out too much of what happened to him except that Winly fitted him with auto-mail. O_o;;; Winly gave a psycho-boy named "Wrath" auto-mail and sent him out into the world. (However, I will say that Wrath + Automail = Hotness, and I never thought I'd say/think that!)
Totally FUBAR.
I can't believe they left it there, though. I do think it was a good choice; I'm all about abrupt endings-- stop while the reader/viewer is still hooked... however, there is totally space wide open for a sequel series or bunch of OVAs if they wanted to make them.
Wendy and I watched the entire series in three sittings. Eps 1-18, then 18-38, and 38-the end. No, we don't have real lives.
I will be rewatching it sometime in the next two weeks with Tom, and Jen still hasn't seen the end, so it's going to be pounded into my head pretty good for fic purposes.
*...is still trying to recover...*

Date: 2005-03-19 11:48 pm (UTC)Yeah, I think Wrath could end up being a really cool character post-series, depending on what direction one postulates his angry little mind might go. Does he-- like Lust did-- have any desire to be human? Or to fit in with human society? Or will he spend all his time being a wild thing in the woods? Will he ever be anything other than completely furious with Izumi?
See, I found out about the Envy = half brother thing and shrieked, "AHHHHH! YOU MEAN I UNWITTING WROTE ELRICEST!?!?!?" And then tried to gouge my own eyes out. I have come to grips with this... Although, you could argue that it isn't even true; that that form was merely one Envy took to shock Ed (which worked). *shrugs* Not that it matters much. I will continue writing Envy/Ed smut, because dammit, I love it and because I was one of the first people to write this pairing and I really love it. ^_^
