Got a WIP you're excited about? Want to rave about your fave? Or is your fandom absolutely in love with a character who detracts from every scene they bumble into, and you need somewhere to vent? You're in the right place!

Date: 2021-04-19 01:16 pm (UTC)(well, she wrote/drew the fma manga, and I love fma:b, which is basically the anime of the fma manga, but there's another anime called fma which starts off the same but came out before the manga was finished so goes in a different direction, so hahahaha I probably just made this more confusing)

Date: 2021-04-19 01:57 pm (UTC)(Unrelatedly, I loved the FMA manga so much that I refuse to watch either anime adaptation, because that would destroy my mental picture of everything. Is that unreasonable?)
Re: Anime - FMA manga vs anime
Date: 2021-04-19 02:13 pm (UTC)I only read the first few manga volumes, and that was after seeing the anime, so I can't say for sure; my understanding from looking at wikis over the years is that brotherhood follows the manga more or less exactly. (And the music is good!) The first anime apparently gets weird, and does some stuff which, as a brotherhood fan, makes me go 'wtf NO', so I assume a manga fan would feel the same way. Like... one character adopts another character whom they don't adopt in the original. Some of the homunculi are a bit different. And I think there's some filler. I think it must have a different ending though idk.
I enjoyed the Brotherhood voice acting (and Alphonse has a very cute voice!), though I guess if you have voices in your head for the characters, it'll be jarring, at least at first. I hate it when characters get voices that don't fit my version...
Re: Anime - FMA manga vs anime
Date: 2021-04-19 02:21 pm (UTC)Yeah wow took a quick glance at Wikipedia:
> Dante, a former lover of Hohenheim and mentor to the Elric brothers' teacher, is the series' central antagonist.
Well if you want to watch around the same time sometime, I'll put it on my anime list and we can go "wtf this is freaky" together. But probably better to start with Brotherhood! XD

Date: 2021-05-03 02:43 pm (UTC)Should've put this in the overhyped bullshit thread, oops. Anyway yeah idk if the Citrus manga is as male-gazey but the anime felt tailored to men, in a way that's difficult to describe but... you know it when you see it? The pacing was off and characters just did stuff at random. I saw it got some criticism for the groping but personally I wouldn't have cared if they'd been tonally consistent with it; it might have worked as a dark thing if they'd kept one character predatory and the other confused by her feelings over it. But instead there's no consistency, it's just odd and characters' emotions fluctuate bizarrely from scene to scene. And there isn't even all that much smut; instead it's mostly annoying side-characters you have to fast-forward through. The characters are pretty but that's about all it's got going for it.
