   My Love For FMA Is Reborn!

Hey everyone! How are you all today? I feel great! You will never guess what I did today. To keep you guys guessing, I'll tell you later on in the post. lol. During my absence, I have done nothing but play computer games. Which can be good... But It's not like I can talk about it on here. I can't picture anyone here that plays Company of Heroes. ^^' I eventually felt the urge to do something else, so I went Anime hunting again. While doing so, I remembered seeing a piece of news that the FMA Movie came out in America. So I decided to look for it on a Bittorrent site and I found out. I finally had something to do. YAY! I can say that I really enjoyed it. It was so worth the wait. ^_^ Me and CuteKilala wanted to wait until came out in English. After all, it is the superior dub in my opinion. It's too bad the one I downloaded had below average sound quality. But it's only with the loud sounds like explosions. Quieter sounds were fine. But I'll admit that there was one scene which was kinda hard to watch. It looked so painful. You know, the final scene with Wrath and Gluttony? I really felt sorry for him there. It made me feel all shaky inside, not knowing what will happen next. Whereas CuteKilala was probably more nervous than me. She was actually shaking all over while trying to hold in a scream. lol. I can't blame her though. I think it's because I had the sound on loud, where you could hear every single noise. ^^' I was really surprised by the other Maes Hughes. I won't say what it is, just incase I ruin it for someone. Well at least nothing happened to him. I was going to post screenshots of the movie but CuteKilala advised me not too. I have no idea how many of you have actually seen the film. I don't want to ruin anything for anyone after all. Well after watching the movie, I got into the FMA mood again. So to satisfy my thirst for more, I decided to get my Mum to start watching it with me and CuteKilala. She's really enjoying so far. So I'm happy about that. ^_^ She was very shocked and surprised with what happened in episode 7. Which I'm sure we all were. The death of Nina. My Mum usually has the believe that anything animated aren't usually as serious as that was. After watching it, she was saying to me how she can't get over a "Cartoon" being as sad as that. Well it is an Anime after all. But then again, I don't think there's a much sadder scene. Well... I suppose the end of episode 25 is an even match. She said it was a good episode though. She just doesn't want to get that sad again too soon. Too bad she never got her wish. When Ed was depressed at the end of episode 8, she got teary-eyed there too. I'll admit it was quite an emotional scene. Especially when he said, "Cause we're not gods! We're humans. Tiny, insignificant humans... who couldn't even save a little girl." Okay, time to tell you guys what I did. I sent an email to Vic Mignogna! That's right, the man behind the voice of Edward Elric! I told him I was emailing from Scotland and that I got my Mum started of FMA. Plus I told him that he really did an amazing job with those scenes. I also wanted to ask him about how he felt about doing the scenes I was just talking about there. He actually replied a couple of hours later!!! O_O Here's the reply I got: hi Robert! Thanks for your Email. Scotland huh? Cool! I would love to see your part of the world! I'm so glad you are enjoying Fullmetal Alchemist. You mentioned some of my favorite scenes! They were so emotional... I loved recording them. Those deep and intense scenes were my favorite ones iin the whole series to do. Tell your mum I said hi and I hope she is enjoying FMA too! Thanks again! vic Pretty cool, huh? It really made my day! I better email him back and tell him thanks. I'm going to go visit everyone now. ^_^
