About the military. I'm not sure, but I'm betting they just used philosopher stones as to avoin losing body parts, either that, or they just sacrifice the prisoner to do it. (betting on the later)

Anyway, is Izumi a guy or a girl name? 'Cause thar's a boy Izumi in Full Moon wo Sagashite, and of course, girl Izumi in FMA. oO; Or it is one of those unisex names?

So far in anime 90% names have been unisex.Only a few havn't like most of the times ones that are for the main character and never used again.for example Inuyasha and Naruto.

Is it just me or is the manga of FMA quite a bit different to the TV series. I mean I have the 10th volume of the manga in japanese (not that I can read it) and in it

It was sad! I cried so hard I woke my best friend up out of a very sound sleep and she sleeps like she's in a coma or something! Any way it can, does and will get worse. The episode right after is also pretty grusome. Ed and Winry get captured by a psycotic serial killer, who tries to hack Ed into little bitty pieces. If you have never seen it there are clips in the video "Voodoo". A very emotionally damaging video for me.

That was one of the earlier episodes. If that disturbed you, don't watch the rest of series.

The manga and the anime are completely different, so even if you've seen the series you can still enjoy the manga.

"Night of the Chimera's Cry"? oh man, my sister and I watched that, and it is definetley sad. Even my stone-hearted sister (bad thing to say, I know) thought so. Therefore it must be. *sob* Poor Ed was so upset...

Calim, u think That the English dub is bad???? I LOVE Ed's voice! Then again, never having seen the japanese version.....

The Japanese and the English are both good (to me at least). But I saw Fullmetal vs. Flame in Japanese, then I saw it in English. I must say, I really prefer it in Jap. ^.^; I don't know why, maybe 'cause Roy's just funnier in it....

Yeah I have to say one of the things that makes Fullmetal Alchemist so cool and addictive is that it is prepared to get into some messed up and disturbing stuff like genocide and mass murder. I think the overall message of the series is trying to show the darker side of human nature.
