hello everyone this is my first post.
the movie really sucked. I was really hoping it would finish in shambala. but I do think they made it possible for another movie if they wanted to. they're gonna use that bomb thing. if the movie didn't make that much money they'll make another one, and this time they're gonna do it right finshing the movie in the shambala. |

I thought that the movie was well done. They kept true to the concepts that they presented in the series, and the characters were the same albeit a few fillers they threw in and a new enemy. One thing I didn't like about the movie was the fact that they used alchemy to open the gate in our world. I had originally thought that Al was going to use an alchemical means of reaching Ed, and Ed was going to use a mechanical solution.
At any rate I thought the movie did a great job at wrapping up the series. It kept me entertained, and aroused some nostalgia since I started watching FMA nearly two years ago. I'm definately getting the dvd when it comes out. |

I was very happy that the movie is drawn the same style as the TV series. ^_^
Because in many cases the ova are done so differently that I had difficulty getting used to it. *cough* rurouni kenshin *cough* Plus the animation was very very smooth, good job on that! ^_^ I too, was quite disappointed in Winry's lack of screentime..... Always thought she was a pretty important character in the TV series but apparantly the producers thought otherwise. She got to give Ed a hug and his automails back and that was it.... T_T not even a decent goodbye. I would write more but since I have no clue how to do spoilers tags.... I'll write more when I find out how to do them XD Oh and one little question, I am not sure if it qualifies as spoilers but beware anyways .. .. .. when Al was fighting those armor thingys, he injected a small portion of his soul inside them to control them ...but that small portion returns to him eventually right? But after the fight was over, his soul remained in the armor when it returned to Ed's world. @_@ a bit confused there. And he was sleeping in his own world too, so does it mean his soul was still wandering in the armor ....? hope I didn't confuse anyone. Thanks ^^ |

But must say that i watch it in jap. without subs. and my jap. is not that good, so i did not get all of it! So im quite confuse about some stuf. Got to watch it again !!

i kno its probably been discussed a ridiculous number of times and rebutted, but i really think that the ending of the movie leaves the possibility for either a 2nd season or a second movie. i cant imagine how the directors would leave such an open-ended ending like theyr eleaving to find a bomb, which in itself could be a whole nuther story. that and im sure they kno the fanbase prolly wasnt happy with how winry got the short end of the stick.

In some cases it's better to have an open ending than one that brings real finality to everything. The fandom likes open endings generally, then they can imagine/write/draw whatever they want to continue their own little stories. Full closure tends to bring a lot of "OMFG what the heck were they smoking when they thought up that ending" type things.
Plus it always helps to have the option to at some later date produce an OVA special episode for the masses.

I agree whole-heartedly with you, as I thought the movie was absolutely outstanding. The movie never left me uninterested or bored. I loved how it ended also, except for the fact that Winry was excluded. But I think Winry being excluded meant that Al would do anything just to get back with his brother, even somewhat abandon one of their most dear childhood friends. That makes the whole brotherly love/bond seem so much stronger in my eyes. As Al gave up his entire world just to go and grow up with his only brother, Ed. Maybe you guys forgot why the two main characters are Ed and Al. Winry had always been a side character, even though I really liked her. This movie also gave me fantastic closure on the series, making me want to watch the entire thing over again, ending it off with the movie. In my mind, this was one of the BEST ways to ever end a series. |
