FullMetal Alchemist
_____I just finished reading the first volume of Fullmetal Alchemist. FMA is mostly known for being a popular anime on cartoon network. Well, as it turns out, it's also a pretty good manga.
_____It all started a week ago when i was brosing through my most recent issue of EGM (electronic gaming monthly). I saw an advertisement for the new FMA videogame which, from the screenshots, looked pretty cool. So, I went on the internet, and checked out the game. Well, it turned out that the game was not out yet so, in search of a new manga (because the manga is almost always better than the anime) I checked it out. After reading about it for half an hour, i knew i would love it. Due to this fact, i bought the graphic novel. Saddly, the shipping took nearly two weeks, but fortounatly, it came today. It took me 45 min. to read (including bathroom breaks and food stops). Now, after finishing it, I am increadibly happy and dissapointed at the same time. Happy because FMA lived up to my high expectations, but terribly sad because not only must I wait a month for the second volume to come out, but i need to wait until December for the third volume to come out >_<



_____FMA is a great manga. Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse are awsome. They are alchemists, which means that they can change the being of physical objects, as long as it is the same size and made of the same substance. Although Edward is the more talented alchemist, Alphonse is physicly stronger because his soul is trapped into an empty suit of armor. For me to explain the whole thing now would be very confusing, and take a long time, but that is the basics of the manga. FMA is great, and i might even watch the show sometime. I hope all of you get a chance to read it.
