Edward and Winry are my second favourite anime and manga couple, despite the fact that their romantic moments are rare. Their relationship overall is just amazing. It’s so rare in anime, manga, and all types of fictional media to see a boy and a girl who never once let their love for each other affect their dreams, their goals, and themselves. Yes Winry misses Edward terribly and is so afraid for him and Alphonse, but she gets out in the world and establishes a career. Edward loves Winry but not once does that cause him to waver and she doesn’t expect it too. They live now-separate lives that sometimes come together and they both know that nothing can happen until Edward is finished. Plus I love how Winry is both strong and fragile, tomboy and feminine, temperamental and caring, selfless and a bit selfish...there are very few anime/manga heroines like her. She really stands out.

@Sayrden4 жыл бұрын
Well said. I also like how the series makes Winry strong without making her a fighter. We see her labor through the night, and more importantly, make compromises for the big picture even when she wants something different. One of my favorite scenes in the series is (SPOILER)... ...when she pulls a gun on Scar, but can't bring herself to fire, even though she knows he killed her parents. It's a wonderfully tense scene, where she's caught between two different ways to honor her parents' memory. And Scar just stands there, giving her the chance to back down. And as the reader, we're never really told why. Is Scar that sure she isn't going to fire? Can he just disintegrate the bullet if she does? Or is he prepared to accept her judgment of him, whatever it might be? We don't know, and that's how it should be. Scar is supposed to be a mystery, someone that Ed and Al don't really understand or trust even if they share some common enemies.

@@Sayrden Is it mysterious? If I remember he said out loud why. SPOILERS Because he believed he was justified to kill for revenge, and by his same rules he said winry was justified in doing so. On top of that he say something around the line "just remember it was you amastrians that pulled the trigger first" implying that he stands by his other killings (even his attempted murder of Ed) and is implied if Winery were to kill him right there she would be proving his point. Or at least that last part is what I got from the text. Its one of the reasons why that scene is emotionally powerful.

On number op 4: It actually has alot more direction than you might think. The op starts with ed reaching towards the sky, as if reaching for truth (or god) and after he realises there is nothing, he smashes a white flower. White flowers are usually used for funerals. The flower signifies death and his lack of respect for death is shown by smashing it. ED then gets up and faces his troubles and arrogantly goes and fights it, getting kicked back to the ground again. Then everything else in the op serves as a dive in to his troubles and people hes met and whats to come. It then ends with ed back at the start after almost getting to the light, and while hes frustrated, this time he doesn't smash the flower. Instead his hand acts almost like a lense too focus on the flower, too respect or analise death. The rest is told in the video.

Your analysis and critique of "Again" got me thinking about it. Watching it again to confirm an idea. My favorite part of it is Greed's two seconds in it, since he's my favorite character of the franchise. Thinking about it, his placement in the OP in accordance to the song was probably intentional like anything else in it; I just want to talk about his part. He appears towards the end of the fast-paced build-up, like second-to-last line before the chorus. It may be a stretch to say this, but perhaps that's representative of how the Devil's Nest part (in opinion) is a turning point for the plot. Meeting Greed made Ed and Al (and by extension the military supporting cast) aware of the homunculi, and meeting him, in my impression, was like the end of the setup episodes ((first verse and bridge)) before we get into the heart of the story, the more serious and deep part of the plot ((chorus and on)). Heck, his brief two seconds in the OP can be parallel to his first life's mere two episodes (only a small slice of time compared to the fact the entire Brotherhood anime is 64 episodes). Again, all of this might be a stretch.
@dbmods18468 жыл бұрын
Lol fmab opening 2 turns out to be my favorite because of the rock music. It synergises with the mood of the show at that point, getting you pumped up because of the many different scenarios happening at once. Mustang trying to expose the homonculi, Edward being taken away to Xerxes, learning about scar's secret and meeting his father. With a FCC gv g dose of alphonse catching up with ling and ling furthering his advancements with achieving immortality. Although this goes without saying that it is all in my opinion. :P

FMAB was my first anime at age 15 (anime was considered taboo by my parents while growing up). I remember hearing how amazing it was but being skeptical and sitting through the first couple minutes of episode 1. I was about to say “nah I’ll pass” when Ed started screaming and beating up the bad guy for calling him short in the manga-esque black and white shots. I laughed hysterically and fell in LOVE with the characters and that was how I became a FMAB superfan and decided to become an anime nerd and fangirl in general ever since. More wholesome yet, I cherish this moment because it was one of my older sister’s boyfriends that introduced me and my sister to this show in the first few months of dating and the fact that art can come from anywhere and animation is a fantastic medium for it. There was no need for it to be taboo just because it “wasn’t commercial or American”. Years later, I am studying to become a television animation producer hopefully for either anime or videogames and that boyfriend is now a cherished older brother to me and husband to my sister and I long for the next few years when I get to become the fun crazy aunt I’ve always wanted to be. This show brought all of us together and gave me a sibling bond that will last forever. Thank you FMAB! :)
