The Official Fullmetal Alchemist Thread

I hate the fact that the manga is still running, it kills any incentive for me to read it since I’m already addicted to other mangas.

If you want to know when the guy at zomgfta will release the scanlation, it’s pretty safe to double the estimated time he gives.

70 RAW is out!

OH SNAPZ!

[details=Spoiler]PRIDE IS REVEALED!
Quiet a lot of talking but I’m sure it’s important.
Winry looked like those 3 solders were gonna gang-bang her or something XD.
I belive Kimbley should know by now who Winry is and I belive he mentions it at the end of this chapter.[/details]

Heads up, ZOMGFTA.com have finished scanlating Chapter 70. Make sure to read the omake it’s got a shocking surprise!

i heard the manga is not as fun to read as the anime is too watch. basically it has the shawshank redemption effect.

^That’s the dumbest BS I’ve ever heard, the manga and anime are great, but as I always say the manga ver. of FMA can rape the anime ver. anytime.

Forget what u were told about FMA, and just watch the anime, then read the manga. Or just read the manga and forget the anime ever existed.

Trust me if ur looking for a manga with some good action, humor and mystery, FMA has it.

ZOMGFTA.com has 71 RAW :rock:

She had it coming

[details=Spoiler]Hawkeye was gonna get raped had Pride had to leave for some reason. Probably cuz Mrs. Bradley was checking up on him or something. Guess being a kid is a bitch :P.
Anyway Elric and co. go with Kimbley to catch Scar, and it seems Kimbley brought with him 2 Chimeras to help take down Scar.[/details]

i love this anime because some characters compare themselves to g-d.

75 RAW

More on Hoenhiem

Spoiler

More on Hoenhiem’s past and it would also seem that he meets up with Izumi for some purpose…I WANTS A SCANLATION!!!

Kimbley is a fucking beast

76

Spoiler

RIP Ed & Al?

I shall never surrender-
Today in FMA 77-

77

[details=Spoiler]Well Ed survives, and makes friends with the other 2 chimeras. They also find a small piece of the P. Stone.
Elsewhere Al and co. find a shack and talk about the big alchemy circle. Yomi has a cold BTW.
Finally we get more Kimbley badass-ness, a pissed off Pride and best of all a cameo of Sloth. <3.[/details]

I don’t know, it’s hard for a manga version of a series to match the anime versions (to me) because of one thing:

Music.

The music in FMA was pretty strong and really helped pull at your emotions during those certain moments - like when Ed and Al are discussing what they’re going to do after their mother is dead; it’s hard to imagine a manga pulling at me the same way

While the anime may have it’s share of great music, the manga does better by reducing the emo-ness and giving a more darker plot. In addition to some badass characters.
If you want I can PM u with links to where to get the manga ;).

Latest chapter: too bad we don’t get to see a War scene :frowning:

people still read this? What chapter are we on now? I stopped like 2 years ago, too lazy to catch up. =/

Oh, and the anime still sucks.

^We’re at Chapter 79 (manga is released monthly), you can read the series at OneManga.com (79 was released today so scanlations by next week at least) or get it from MangaTraders.com.

I did NOT get my name from this series, just putting it out there lol. I’ve seen a few episodes, not my cup of tea.

^Read the manga then, it’s a lot better than the anime and it might interest you :P.

ep 45+ onward did

Other than that, considering how badly it strayed from the manga, FMA was a damn fucking fine anime.

I mean seriously, the last couple of episodes felt like something they put together overnight.

The earlier parts of the series though? amazing.

All I’ve seen is the anime. Need to check out the manga though.
