Fullmetal Alchemist (Chapters 1-42)
Apr. 23rd, 2014 07:34 pm...why yes, I have officially become the Last Person in the World to read the manga. (No, I have not become the last person in the world to watch it. Though I might, who knows?) ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
skygiants hooked me by describing it as starting out about a couple of characters and their quest, but gradually widening out to where you realize the world and the plot and the stakes are way bigger than what you thought at first. Which is basically the way to get me to read/watch/consume anything, really. (If you have any other suggestions of things that are like this, besides Gunnerkrigg Court and Digger, both of which I think kind of also follow that pattern, please tell me!)
Also, I like Ed and Al Elric (okay, fine, I adore Al madly), but I really am crushing hard on Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeye, Maes Hughes(!!), Maria Ross (!!) and, oh, Team Mustang in general. (I, uh, may have spoiled myself for several plot developments by going to AO3 and looking for Roy/Riza.)
( Various reactions to Chapters 1-42, because that's where I'm at )
