Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 108 Discussion

In some ways I loved it, in others I thought it was a bit generic. Greed's ending was definitely perfect but I thought Father died a bit too easily (Who knows maybe it'll look better in the anime). My biggest gripe is with how Ed got Al back, that seemed like a big cop-out (and the "I don't need alchemy, I've got friends bla bla" was typical shounen bull) but I though the exchange between Hohenheim and Ed as father and son was great. Hohenheim's death was done perfectly, it was so sad. I was a bit disappointed Ed and Winry didn't kiss but I guess this is a shounen adventure and not a romance manga. Overall, I thought it was good but not awesome.

Now that i think about it , i'm extremely satisfied wit how the whole fma franchise has come to an end , instead of draggin on like crazy , arakawa took a great decision and ended fma when it was going extremely strong . Hats off arakawa .



And now , i can't wait for the new fma gaiden :)

Last page sounded like Arakawa-sensei have already plan for next manga, what do you think?

So that's it.  The end.  Oh man, what a ride!  I loved the ending; it tied up so nicely.  I kinda like that Ed lost his alchemy -- it made sense, anyway.  I like how they want to change the equivalent exchange too. :) I only wish there had been more on Roy and Riza; I felt like they were short changed a bit in the end, but maybe that's just because they're my favorite so I'm biased.  It makes sense for Ed, Al, and Winry to be the spotlight in the last few pages.



Oh man.  I'm sad to see it go, but I loved the ending.  One of the best series ever.

i atleast wanted to see ed and winry kiss once >.< but its still a great manga cant complain

I know I might be the target of much hatred for posting this, but that ending wasn't as good as advertised - it was a tad underwhelming. It felt more like an epilogue, and less of a final chapter - 107 pretty much wrapped up the final struggle against Father. This chapter just tied up the loose ends and resolved the characters' respective sub-plots (most of what happened were what fans wanted to see) . Nonetheless, it was a great ride. This was one of the first manga I've read, and I've  followed it for the past 4+ years. Certainly one of the best I've laid my eyes on. 9/10 overall.

Yeah, this was definitely more of an epilogue, but over all, 9/10.



Same feeling here. Not really satisfied of the ending.... as I never will be for ANY piece of literature LOL. Just can't get that feeling of satisfaction.... Aria had it. LOGH had it....



But still, 10/10 overall.

I can't stop crying T___T bawww I feel like a piece of my life just... died lol XD

it was a great ending but i'm still so sad!

An epic end for an epic manga ;_;

awww,,,thats efinitely a great ending, though edcant no longer use alchemy,,,, FMA has been part of my life since i was just 12 and i know im going to miss it, definitely, wholeheartedly.

The way Homunculus was defeated was very fitting, but really short in a way.  Edward giving alchemy and defeating "Truth" was really interesting sacrifice, because that was one thing he had to remind him of his mother. The proposal from Ed to Winry was really cheesy, but most fitting for Ed, that and they had kids! Though I wonder if Al went to Xing to see May...



Overall a good series and I'm glad that I read it!

Manly tears were shed.....





Thank you Arakawa-sensei, for giving us an amazing story with incredible characters. This will go down as one of the greatest, most original shounen ever.



Thank You for making me believe that it is still possible to make great stories.



I will miss FMA very much, the end was great, the epilogue could've been better but for me I enjoyed the journey as much as I did the destination.





To all Mangaka: Get a pen and paper and write some notes down, THIS IS HOW MANGA SHOULD BE DONE!!!

so in the ned ed defeats father, gives up his ability to perform alchemy to get al back, their father hoenheim dies in front of the grave of his wive, marcoh gives a philosopher stone to give mustang his eyesight back, grumman takes over as furher, and everyone else lives happily ever after as ed and al split up to find out more about alchemy. the end. also ed and winry have the weirdest proposal ever, lol "85%"
