FMA babble

[cornerofmadness]

Well not many since I really don't have much to say this time compared to the last two times.
This one...okay I loved seeing Izumi and Sig in action with Olivia and Alex Louis but it went on just way too long, at least for me. The means another month before any follow up with Ed, ROy and Riza and poor Al hasn't been seen in a long while.

That said I did like the fight with Sloth and I loved that he was almost glad to die. I have to admit, Sig's appearance fooled me.I thought that was Armstrong's burly arm.

I was less impressed with Izumi's constant self deprecation. I'm a little bored with it now having heard it so many times (thought it worked well last time when she ditched the house wife routine and claimed her vocation). Was a little less than impressed with the attitudes toward the Armstrongs who were a helluva lot more wearied than she and Sig but eh. whatever.

I was taken by surprise by Olivia's speech about children being the future. Is she already trying out for office?

The Hohenheim/Father fight was on the other hand, pure love. I loved him making a door out of that cage and his good insight into the first homunculus. THought for a moment there, Hoho was done for and in a complete 180 from my stance at the beginning of this series, I don't want him to die. I can't wait to see what happens with this.

Another solid chapter. Any pacing issues were made up by the last few pages. Like you, I thought that was the end for dear old dad, but it seems Dad vs. Father is going to be epic.

i sure hope its epic

I never, ever thought that. Hoho's just too tricky, despite his 'absent minded professor' air.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

true but i thought maybe the thing was smarter...but the question is WHAT has Hoho done?

I'm half thinking he's already passed the stone inside him on to Alphonse b ut then why hasn't he crumbled like the others...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I don't think he has the stone as his heart, I think he is the stone.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's the other possibility i considered.

Hey is Scully giving me the finger?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Scully and Mulder are BOTH giving you the finger.

And he told Izumi and Sig that he was the Stone, I'm almost sure of it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and so they are

yeah i think he did say something to that effect

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Which is why Father couldn't find the Stone. Hohenheim is the Stone.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

good theory

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm stickin' with it.
