cornerofmadnessOf very little interest to most of my flist but cut for those who do read FMA manga
After the build up of issue 57, I found this one to be a dreadful let down. Since I'm Dr Bullet-things now for my students who don't want to think, i'll just do the same here. My thoughts...
1. Roy being in the military BEFORE being a state alchemist was a surprise and not a good one. I didn't like that twist one bit
2. Mr Hawkeye (who needs a name damn it) is a creepy sot. I want, just once, for someone to see the military as needed and not evil...okay I guess that would be young ROY who does. Head desk.
3. What a great teacher Hawkeye is. He withholds information Roy needs to complete his training, all but taunts him with it (nice teacher) even though he seems to know he's sick and dying.
4. Do we think Riza a) knows alchemy a little b) that DADDY tattooed her?
5. If Daddy did it, how screwed up is this young lady in the head? I mean that HAS to mess with you. Not to mention they're dirt poor and Daddy GIVES her away to his apprentice like she's a piece of silverware
6. Speaking of Riza, she's a) sort of slobby about unpacking (hey I can related) b) at least observant and complex
7. So everyone but Ed knows Ed loves Winry
8. Riza can only give her perspective about the war in Ishbal...so why do we get SCAR'S perspective.
9. Scar disgusts me with his close-mindedness. I DO like his brother however.
10. I like the Rockbells. Curse her for not naming Winry's father. So why do we GET them. Does Riza actually know something or is this just a strange seque
11. Am I the only one hoping for mor Kimbley next time?
12. we desperately need MORE of Roy/Riza's history now.
13. So Ishbalans used to live in Amestris and serve in the army before getting rounded up. Reminds me of the Japanese concentration camps here in the USA in WWII.
ETA - 14. Riza lives in a creepy assed barracks with drunken sailors? Oh thank you for that one Hiromu!
15 Ed's growing up
I'm sure I had more to say but I lost it
