"I can't obey that order, Sir. Please put down your hand.""...your actions aren't for the good of the country. or even your own comrades!! Cold-blooded hatred...that's what's driving you!!! Please, Colonel. You mustn't take that path!" Riza HawkeyeAnother favourite. :') It gets darker and darker....
I personally love this whole series, but this book has got to be my favorite one because the colonel and his ever-faithful lieutenant are my favorite characters (and I ship them like whoa). But other than that, it's an interesting story in a parallel world, and the author doesn't waste a characte...
This volume was great! It provides a flashback about Hohenheim, his childhood, and his relationship...with the very first Homunculus! It was very cool to learn about that, and about the ruins that I forget the name of...somewhere Prince Lin went...anyway, we the readers get to see those ruins bef...
The plot thickens as another Homunculus appears and the soldiers serving under Armstong's sister Olivier Armstrong get involved - because their outpost is the place were the next bloodshed is supposed to happen. The new cast of characters is really cool. Olivier figures out that Ed is hidng somet...
The story moves along at a quick pace, and I pretty much love it anytime Isumi appears in this series (despite initial appearances of what happens to her at the end of this volume). And, as an added bonus her husband makes an appearance. Edward, Al and Roy are hardly in this installment, but th...
The brilliant ending to this brilliant story has stuck with me for weeks now. (Spoilery discussion of ending to follow!)-- My initial reaction upon reading it was a little mixed--overall, I loved it, but at first I wondered if it was a bit TOO happy. All the main characters survive and more or le...
Great as usual! Ah! I can't believe how great these volumes are! I don't want to stop reading them.
The web of lies just gets deeper and deeper!!!! This series continues to go from strength to strength, with this volume being no exception.
Oliver Armstrong and Miles are two of my favorite characters in the whole Brotherhood anime so of course I enjoyed this volume, haha. The action itself is kind of slow when we first reach the North, but the new characters are so good I almost don't mind--plus Kimblee continues to worm his way int...
Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 17 by Hiromu Arakawa is a chance to explore Fort Briggs better. It's the domain of General Olivier Armstrong and she's not to be trifled with.Despite her exemplary leadership, even Fort Briggs isn't free from the homunculi. Ed, Kimblee and an officer from Central all ha...
The final chapter... *sniff sniff*Must say I cried through half the book... the feelings all the feelings."The truth brings despair to those who dare reach above their station." Truth"A lesson without pain is meaninless......because gaining anything worthwhile requires sacrifice.But if you can ov...
I like this ending overall. Wished I didn't finish it because it's awesome. Overall, this series was pretty amazing. Lots of action and the comedy section really dampened how serious this manga really was. I loved it. And all the characters too. I couldn't believe it but I also grew to love Greed...
While I am a little saddened by the ending of this manga, in part by the fact there will be no more new adventures of Ed and Al, Hiromu Arakawa wisely elected to end the story before it got too long in the tooth (a point I also wish to give credit to Charlene Harris for in regards to her decision...
I don't know what to say. I loved this. I think you should read it. NOW.In this world, alchemy is a science. If you have the brains to understand and remember all of the elements in various materials, you can rearrange and repurpose them. Edward and Alphonse Elric are prodigies, and when their mo...
