really. that is totally fine that you don't like FMA, since everyone likes different things. But FMA is one that I have yet to hear someone say they didn't like it. Just out of curiosity can you tell me what you don't like? And thank you

Razmere In reply to barkydog2000 [2012-06-12 02:35:22 +0000 UTC]

Well to be completely honest it's just a matter of personal taste


When I say I don't like it, that doesn't mean I hate it. I have comics and cartoons that I H A T E!!!!!! But I don't hate Full Metal Alchemist. There are parts that I KINDA like and can totally understand the fanbase, but I guess I just never found the main brother characters all that interesting. If I had to be a tad more specific, I guess I never really got into how sad and tragic it kept getting. I think I stopped watching when this adorable little girl was turned into a dog monster by her mad scientist dad, and then killed by that scar faced guy. ALL IN THE SAME EPISODE! I remember thinking "WOW! That was depressing. Can't WAIT for the next episode. (Sarcasm) "

AGAIN, all a matter of my personal tastes.

It's kinda the same way I feel about the X-Men. I don't HATE the X-Men, or have anything against its fans. I just never got completely hooked. (Except for the show EVOLUTION! Loved that series)

ahh, I understand. Man yeah, the episode with the little girl Nina was the saddest episode. But it drove the brothers and kept things in prospective for them so it was necessary.

Razmere In reply to barkydog2000 [2012-06-12 04:10:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, again, I GET why others like it and I don't hate them for it like I do other fandoms that shall go unnamed.

It did rain right after we finished. To have it gone so soon is sad, but it's ok. I am used to it being temporary

Wait on sidewalk? That means that this will wash away??? *cries* You need to rip this piece of sidewalk off the ground and keep it. Or like cover it in glass or something. Seriously. So beautiful.

Ha! I knew I'd seen this image before, what a lovely rendition of 's piece! That is absolutely incredible.

The Fullmetal Alchemist universe always deserves incredible art like this. :3

Wish we could see a time lapse of this one!! Better yet, I wish I could come to the cons you're at...

barkydog2000 In reply to Sanya-Aranel [2012-06-12 02:06:42 +0000 UTC]

thank you so much. I agree that his piece is quite lovely.

Yeah, we took progress pictures, but not a time lapse video. A time lapse video wouldn't have really worked for this one because we had to keep pausing for rain. I don't know where you are located, but that would be awesome of you could see us one day

Hope you can post a link to the progress pictures soon! That'd be awesome to see!

Yeah, I'm from Oregon and we have no real cons here. Headed to Sakuracon in Seattle this year, wish I could visit, though!
