Fullmetal Alchemist "Another Journey's End" Chapter Discussion

^Well the story is finished already after all, so pretty much anything coming after would be deemed as "unnecessary".



not really, there are many side stories that might be enjoyable to read.  Lets say for example, a side story about Ling after he returns to his homeland.  That may for example have conflict, battles, sorrow and then happy conclusion.



This story pretty much had nothing but happy conclusion and was kind of a waste of time.  Did not really add anything worth mentioning to the original ending.  So at least in my book a very bland and unnecessary chapter.  It would have been more interesting to see their kids and their progress with the alchemy research for example.

That is so like Al to give up his second body so that others in need can use it. A great way to tie up that loose end.

mangastream has it right now.

tnx

Nice little addition. I like the fact that it is best for the armor to become something else rather that collecting dust. It would be cool if Al's armor can be Ed's automail leg!



5/5

FMA is not as good as I remembered it to be nor as good as the Anime.



Isn't it also your memories for the 2nd point, unless you're comparing it to the first TV show (another scale, other themes) that has a little tempo / direction incident when it redirects itself? Because the 2009 show is the same thing as the manga but with time/tempo mismanagement, a brutal introduction scrapping too much (of course the initial travel could be made shorter, but there are limits when reducing the introctory phase of a story), and despite its eagerness on cutting things in the beginning, it retained the manga's final segment in all its problematic stretched length.



In FMAB, they left out the arc where they find the girl with the metal legs, since that was a filler arc and we did not see the girl in the manga ever again. Music in FMAB was really well done and made the scene much better, and the animation was top notch as well. FMAB gave us one of the best scenes just at episode 2, which the FMA manga took 23 chapters to give us.
