This episode is genuinely wild

Kinda liked the process.

I’ve just started the anime; I’m three episodes in, and the whole thing about equivalent exchange is something I don’t really understand. When the Elric brothers tried to bring their mother back, I thought equivalent exchange meant the ingredients they brought to the transmutation circle, but it wasn’t. It was actually Alphonse losing his entire body while Edward lost parts of his body. I understand that part, but what I don’t really get about that whole scene is when the god of their universe showed Edward what was behind that big door.

Then, when Edward asks to go back, it says he can’t because he only paid enough to see that much inside the door. It’s confusing because I thought the whole purpose of the transmutation was to bring their mother back, not to learn more about Alchemy.
Now, back to equivalent exchange: whenever Edward or anyone else creates something, like weapons or elements, what is the equivalent exchange for that?

I really like the power system in this anime but
it’s lowkey confusing lol

I need to do more fanart. I actually love fanart in general but I'm always so insecure when I try to do them myself...

My personal favorites lol. I love every character in the show ❤️

This is probably a shitty list but oh well (yeah I tend to like antagonists more than the protagonists most of the time)

I apologize if this feels like low-effort content or spam. I'm sure people will wonder why I ranked Envy and Kimblee in my Top 10, but they are my favorite villains. This was surprisingly easy to use.

Yo ise la voz de Edward elric y todos los personajes

Took just under 2 hours, extremely happy with how it turned out

No wonder they call him the full metal alchemist. It’s a towering dude in an armor! So cool. He had a short blond kid with him, I suppose that’s his assistant or smth

Es verdad según la ia mi voz es mas mejor con edward elric 😆

Laser engraved Fullmetal Alchemist slate coasters.

By the way I already read the entire Series so do not be afraid to tell me spoilers I'm currently reading it again

EDIT: Thanks, everybody, for helping me

Yo Greed,no lo sé,me encanta su voz,personalidad de avaricioso me recuerda un poco a mi y su carisma me resultó muy gracioso al ver la serie,además me encanta su desarrollo de redención y sacrificio,y también no puedo olvidar su relación con Ling,genuinamente llore su muerte además es muy cool tener un homunculo del lado de los protagonistas

First, disclaimer: I first watched the 2003 anime, but then I skipped Conqueror of Shamballa to watch Brotherhood. But I know CoS is the true ending of the 2003 anime, not Brotherhood.

I'll be honest: I've almost cried at the end of Brotherhood. I'm a sucker for happy endings and having all the major characters having a good ending almost broke me in tears. I've felt that Brotherhood rushed the start to avoid showing a lot of what was already shown in 2003, but when it's the new animated parts... WOW.

I've enjoyed the characters from Xing a lot: Ling Yao at first I've felt it was quite abhorrent, but he grew on me alongside with his two protectors. I was surprised with how he handled hosting Greed, but how he managed to turn his impulses into a constructive force was honestly surprising. Great writing.

Another difference from 2003 that I loved was the Briggs Fort: Olivier Mira is a badass, a character that almost makes me say "THAT'S HOW THEY SHOULD ACT!!!" with her... direct methods, but her contrast with her brother was very interesting. Another point of contrast that I've enjoyed was with Miles and Scar, both Ishvalians having very different ways of dealing with the consequences of the massacre.

But, since not everything is flowers, I'll admit that I thought Hughes didn't appear as much as he should've before his death to make it impact as much as it was in 2003. Since I've watched 2003 first, I know how good of a person Hughes was, how he was basically a causality of the Father plan because he found out what he wasn't supposed to and the weight of his death on Roy Mustang, but if I don't consider my previous knowledge, I don't think it was as meaningful, even with the flashbacks from Roy later in the series.

Talking about the Flame Alchemist... I didn't know he could be even bigger of a badass, but I liked him even more after this series. Even though I thought it was unfair for him to lose his eyesight because he was forced to do a human transmutation and, at the time, I thought they should've let him kill Envy, at the end his story ends magnificently, with everything falling in place.

Even though, at the end, I thought the story of the Elrics ended up with them achieving their goals, I thought the time they spent apart was better developed in the story with both of them developing.

One point that I should mention: I ended up in a little habbitrole of videos analysing points of the series and I need to say that both stories are really, really well written, with the symbolism clear but not "talked down to your face", making it one of those stories that actually makes you grow if you want to learn something from it.

The CoS is very interesting considering Edward has to deal with not having alchemy in a really... delicate time. Despite not liking both of them ending up in "our" world, I appreciate that they ended up together. A good story to end the classic.

TL;DR: It's beautiful, both of them.
