The Morality of Edward Elric [ft.

[@HidinginPublic]

PUBLIC COMMENT. AH. PLEASE COMMENT. AH. NEW VIDEOS SOON. BIG VIDEO SERIES COMING IN 2022. AH. MY CHANNEL IS DYING I DON'T WANT IT ALL TO END

[@justinfreeman4614]

Bro - liked immediately. I love FMA content.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

I'm here for you Hiding all the way

[@Amaling]

Bro you’re not putting content on the channel much, idk what you were expecting. Put out more heat and more people will watch. Videos on some random manga getting half a million views? Ehh maybe not, but people will still come around. There’s gonna be a lot of big anime coming out starting next month, if you prioritize your livelihood here you can start writing scripts for KNY season 2, Jojos Part 6, AoT etc

[@Theph116]

I'd rather your channel didn't end either. I really enjoy your videos. I wish you the best of luck in the future, I'll definitely be staying around.

[@mynameiskline6658]

"There is no such thing as a painless lesson." Is something my grandpa would always tell me when I would be helping him out with projects growing up. This was a big reason I fell in love with this series when I first heard this quote!

[@KaiserTeelir]

Hello balls

[@Lowart]

Hey man! Thanks for having me on :) It was really cool to see you cover this again, and I'm super happy I was able to be a part of it! It's absolutely bonkers how far you've come since that collab 4 years ago, but somehow not all that surprising, considering the level of love and care you consistently put into your content. Bless ya, buddy. I'm incredibly pumped for those big boy videos you mentioned at the end ^_^

[@HidinginPublic]

Thank you for coming on. I see Today you uploaded a full compiled version of your entire Analysis. That is a smart and cool idea. Everyone should watch it.

[@dylanbuchanan6511]

You’ve earned the title of scholar of FMA. You’ve earned it my friend.

[@TheLightningBlade]

@@HidinginPublic Hey bro! Love the video! I’m currently in the works of a Fullmetal Alchemist mini series on which one I like better! If you’d like,I’d love to have you on the channel!! Fullmetal is my favorite anime overall

[@IntrovertedAnalogue]

Something I've always appreciated about FMA is how our lead characters don't always go into issues as though they're battles. Sometimes, the strongest fights are with what we think is right and wrong. Sometimes there's no winner.

[@dragon67849]

Huh, that was my main takeaway too ^^

[@Seeeeeeeeeeth]

The way that the two big world building changes in 2003 (homunculi originating from human transmutation and alchemy being fueled by human death) recontextualize not just Ed but also many others within its cast is incredible to me. Such bizarre, interesting, and unique changes that make me love 2003 so much.

[@Seeeeeeeeeeth]

ALSO EY WHAT'S THAT OUTRO MUSIC ??? SHAZAM IS STUMPPED !!!

[@CoachRoach555]

I think “There’s no such thing as a painless lesson” is now one of my favorite quotes

[@HidinginPublic]

It's a good one. People often overlook that line for the "heart made full metal" part

[@doow4s833]

i just started reading the fma manga the other day after having seen both anime years ago. sometimes i forget: fma is kinda rad.

[@HidinginPublic]

It is!

[@NoHairStyle]

FMA is totally rad! I haven't seen the anime but the manga is do amazing! One of my favs

[@noogykingable]

I'll say from my perspective, the reason I haven't watched the previous videos are because they are things that I want to experience in my own capacity. Speaking on Chainsaw man and Attack on Titan specifically. I love the work you do, but sometimes its hard to come back to content because its directed towards what is popular in the now (previous two examples) vs FMA which has been out awhile. Keep up the good work as always!

[@HidinginPublic]

Oh definitely. It doesn't help that many of my recent videos have been very spoilery, and I hold nothing against anyone who doesn't hold interest or click on it. I've explained in a couple other comments, but the reason the videos haven't been preforming is largely due to a way the algorithm works, and high engagement is about the only way to make youtube give the videos a second look. It's not any one person's fault. I'll try to make some more general videos like seasonal stuff soon, I've just been really trying to get this background project into production the last few months and it's a lot of work on my plate. I don't have an editor or anything so it's all me

[@butterscotch9596]

Thank you Hiding, I’ve missed your content and since school has started I haven't had time to watch your streams but watching your content always puts a smile in my face.

[@Slickchimpface]

Yes! This is such a great comment! I’ve missed most of your livestreams due to work, so it is so refreshing to see a Hiding video. This is exceptional! Keep it up sir.

[@Pantalaimon91]

The comment "there's no such thing as a painless lesson" is probably the part of the story's philosophy that's stuck with me the most over the years. It's so important to learn but so hard to force yourself into that mindset of taking truly painful mistakes and learning from them instead of running from them.

[@barutoofficial2804]

2003's origin of homunculus makes alot more sense than brotherhood ❤️

[@sprawlz6466]

What I love about the characters of FMA is that many of them remain pretty static throughout the series. Ed went through most of his character development as a kid when he did human transmutation. After that, he just became a citizen of his country with his own goals and opinions that were were formed by his past experiences. I think Ed definitely learns more stuff about the world throughout the story but I don’t think his personality or fundamental ideologies change very much. I love that about him because he feels like a real person. He’s just a dude living in the world who is working toward a common goal. Dynamic characters with very dramatic arcs are usually the ones who get praised the most, but I feel like great static characters go under appreciated. It’s not like Ed doesn’t add depth to the story just because he doesn’t change. All of his interactions with other people in the story hold meaning. Ed’s own ideologies become intertwined with those of anyone he works with, fights against, or causes to change. The role he and his morality play in the narrative is essential to the story of FMA.

[@anthatesyou]

I always find you’re videos in transitional periods in my life. call it fate or chance but I really love these videos thanks for making them ; they help me a lot.

[@VVaifuSlayer]

FMA was a masterpiece, fulfilled by amazing characters, I guess this is enough for the algorithme 😅

[@tomoe7255]

While people tend to criticize the 2003 due to not following the manga, there were a lot of great points about it, in particular I like lust portray and her tragedy

[@calvinjohnston9425]

glad to see fma content STILL being made even a decade after it’s ended, just proves that this story is timeless and an absolute classic

[@Shadower645]

COMMENT GANG COMMENT GANG Also with the release of brotherhood I suppose I mentally wrote off FMA 2003 to the point that I totally forgot about a lot of the very interesting changes, I'm going to give it a rewatch now for the first time in over a decade! Thanks for another awesome video!

[@axelhalbwachs3354]

Just done rewatching the whole anime, I really felt something different about the protagonist this time. I used to think he started as an idiot, then an edgy teen and finally becoming a shonen protagonist spouting nonsense about family and friends. This time though, I saw that he was a more round character than I was giving him the credit of. And as always, you hit the nail on the head with your analysis. Keep up the good work !

[@galatygr9809]

Finally a new hiding video that doesn't have spoilers for shows I want to watch. Another banger

[@HidinginPublic]

Lol yeah been a while perhaps

[@honorpowerpride]

Don't die brother! Of all the channels I sub to yours deserves to live the most. I'm going to watch old vids that I like and make sure I like and commented on em. Luv u bud and I hope you florish. 👍

[@kittyloverandcat66]

I love FMA and any deep analysis about them- but the specific words and interpretations you offer always has me re-thinking not just the anime but it also has me trying to apply your analysis to my own life! Hope to see more of your videos!!

[@damianalexander4274]

im glad to see people are still discovering all the nuances of fma

[@alecgau4792]

This is literally one of the best channels on the platform; you speak so intelligently, it’s intoxicating to take in the information

the way all versions of Fullmetal address morality is one of my favorite things about the series

It was actually the first video that blew up and put my channel on the map. My first video to fairly quickly hit 100k, the video where Nux found me and invited me on Rant Cafe. A lot of stuff

It's been a while since I commented on the older version of this video! I enjoy the remake of this video, especially including Lowart to help out, and it is a great video to go through! I wish you luck with the series you plan on doing and hope to see them when they come out! It's been a while since I read the manga, but I will agree Ed's morality is a great topic to cover and his growth throughout the series is a great one to witness. I don't have much else to add or talk about really, but the quote Ed has that you mentioned is such a powerful one. Hope you continue to do well, and good luck with any other endeavors! It was great to watch this video~

[@jacobpresley7112]

Been awhile since I’ve watched your content for some reason but I’m really glad I’m watching it again

[@ShadowRealmZ373]

As someone who doesn't care for morals and morality, I always saw to King Bradley's views in contrasting to Edward , and really liked their early father/son relationship cause of it. To me Bradley having lived through war and all he's just accepted things being as they are and tries maintaining stability so things don't or can't change, while Ed grows to question and ultimately go against truth or idea that things are simply as they are and can't be changed.

[@dylanmccall9370]

Always good to see a new video on your channel bud. Cant wait for more.

[@legoboy468]

I really really enjoy your content, but I can’t watch it all because I haven’t seen all the series you talk about and don’t want to spoil myself on it if I do. When a video comes out about a series I have seen (like this one) or one that doesn’t contain any spoilers I always watch it tho, I love your commentary and personality, it’s really relatable to me. Maybe that’s why you haven’t gotten as many views on some videos? Idk.

tbh i really liked the video from 3 years ago, it was one of the firsts that i watched from your channel and it really inspired to write about the anime i loved. moreover i feel like the difference between the one from 3 years ago and this one is that you considered the manga and 03 instead of just brotherhood. which is p cool since i was a bit letdown you didnt talk about 03 in your first vid. anyways man great vid!

[@HidinginPublic]

Yeah, I was just being a bit self depreciating. There's obviously for me a lot of nostalgia I had for the old video, and it was actually my first video to really hit the algorithm and put me on the map. I owe a lot to it, so I kind of wanted to revisit it.
