My review on Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)

You may want another video, some of you, I know. But this I have to get out. In case someone reading this (Which is several people I know personally and maybe without my knowledge on the internet) have no Idea what Fullmetal Alchemist is about, let me explain! In summery, it's about Edward Elric and his younger brother, Alphonse Elric (My personal fav) getting there 'Original Bodys' back. What this means, going in further, is that Edward and Alphonse's father left them, and there mom passed away, and in desperate attemt to revive there mother, Ed lost his left leg, and Alphonse (Mostly called Al though the series) lost his entire body when there transmutation failed and they opened the 'Gate of Truth' where they see the so called truth for a certain toll, in this case it shall be Al saw MUCH more then Ed because he lost his entire body, and Ed saw little because he gave up his left leg. Ed also lost right arm to pull his brothers soul out of the so called 'Gate of Truth' and put it into a piece of vintage armor. So they hear of a object called a 'Philosophers Stone' which ignors the law of Alchemy, which is 'Equivelent Exchange' often refered in both shows and manga, it pretty much means to obtain something, somthing of equal value must be sacrificed. They run into many friends along there journey, and find out a terrible plot involving creatures called the Homonculi, which can never die, and the military. OK enough of the review, I'm starting to spoil, if you are interested in this, READ IT. I recently finished the series on one Manga, though the actuall manga volumes containing the end are not released. And in other words, GREATEST THING I EVER READ. I reccomend it to everyone that reads this, also it does cuss some times and in the manga on one manga it does say the F-word, Though I always asume it's a miss translation once in awhile, cause they never say that in the manga books. One Manga only translates the text bubbles, not the sound effects such as VOOM or DOOM or SLASH, to explain the difference, also it may cuss more offten when it may not (Only by my knowledge) Anyway, Also as a check point for you (If you havent stopped reading) is that if you watch the TV show, there are two of them from previous posts, obviously. So in other words, you wanna follow the Manga, watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (Highly reccomended by me) if you don't wanna follow it as much, and want some more humor, go to Fullmetal Alchemist. And last but not least, please, PLEASE, DONT WATCH THE DUBBED SHOW. Fullmetal Alchemist's dubbings aren't that good, but in the first show that came out, not brotherhood, you can get used to Vic (Eds voice) and the cast, but in both I have to say I hate both shows dubbs for Alphonse, he sounds to young. Eds fine though he gives me a laugh attack at anything funny. now, if you watch it with the english subs, Al's casting was PERFECT, everyones was!!!! Drat I'm trailing off, I'll post up several videos, and some song/lyric vids to! Enjoy!
