Well, im bored, but it gave me a chance to think about another interesting and possible question. While i was reading FMA with the chimera's, about how they turned Martel's half blown off body into what it is, I thought about Archer with his half assed self. What if Archer was turned into a chimera(maybe some wolf in him) by the badasses that did the others, would Wolf-Archer have been better than Fullmetal-Archer?

Super Shanko wrote:1. How many OVA's are there exactly, i only know of the 3 and the reflections special.

The three I know of that exist are
1) The State Alchemists vs The Seven Homonchuli, a non-canon story of the military invading the Homonculi hideout. Ed, Al and Winry are kidnapped by Greed, which leads further into the title battle that occurs at the end. There are three scenes that actually occur from the first-person perspective of a nameless, non-speaking soldier. Best not to watch this until after seeing the series, as it shows quite a few spoilers. I thought this was from a video game at first...

2) "The Cast Party" (not actual title), a slapstick, chibi-drawn short that shows the characters from the movie at a party relaxing (or at least attempting to). Best to watch after the movie, so at least things make sense and you know who's who. Even then though you'll still get the slapstick humor of it.

3) "Children" (not actual title), a very short special showing three kids resembling Ed, Al and Winry walking around in a modern city, with small cameos from people that look like other characters. Generally humorous but takes a sad, reminescent turn at the end. Best to watch after seeing the movie, as it could give away the movie's ending.

What's the Reflections Special you talked about Shanko? Is that the "Children" OVA?

Nah, its just like a recap of the events in the show narrated by the characters, its an interesting thing to watch where you hear interesting little tid bits that aren't mentioned on the show.

Heres a nice trick question for him. While i was looking up some FMA songs, i noticed one called "Brothers" that had Vic Mignogna's name on it, to my suprise it was actually sung by him, so simply ask him what if he did anything like this for whatever the hell reason to find him out.

Ask him how he's getting to Kumoricon this year.

OMG is there anyone here that has read the manga and watched the anime?! THEY ARE SO DIFFERENT!!!!! I was just reading the forum, and on p15 there was like an episode summary involving the chimara people........they ALL DIED in the manga.Pride (known as wrath in the manga, believe it or not) killed the snake-girl (sorry for the lack of names!!!!

) while she was INSIDE Al, and it brought his memories back. Plus the anime rearranged the episodes, and names and stuff-the rearrangement of the episode "mother" I can see, but even all those canges in the first two episodes is freaky (read the manga and watch the anime at like the same tome-OMGWTF!!!)

and can Al transmute without a circle in the anime?
I don't have cable, so I buy the graphic novels.....sorry

yeah, theres just something addictive about that manga. I went simply got vol.7 because the chimera's and i end up getting them all.

Moving on....it was messed up Wrath killed them, at least in the anime she had a fighting chance, and yeah, they all died in the anime too (only alot quicker) except for that little reptile guy with the tail, but Wrath doesn't compare to what Lust is gonna do in the next volume that gives Mustang badass status

not to mention theres alot of big things in the manga never shown in the anime other than Al.
