Fullmetal Alchemist, ep. 43-51 (intial reaction)

[oyceter]

GIANT SPOILERS

This is totally an initial reaction because I am really not coherent right now, largely because I spent the last episode sobbing. Oh, my boys. I was so scared something like this would happen, but at least they're still there and still looking for each other.

*sobs*

Is the movie worth watching?

But oh, my god.

Yes, I keep thinking that Al will end up getting his memories back, just because I don't think something like that will stay buried. Also, I am quite convinced that the two will meet again, given their mutual stubbornness, but it still kills me to think about it.

I think one of my favorite parts in the montage (besides the obvious Ed and Al stuff) was finding out that Roy ended up losing an eye. Even though usually I'd think it was the writers copping out, I am so not complaining this time about anyone making it out alive. Plus, I doubt he will ever be Fuhrer, and I love that the eye matches the Fuhrer's eye, only gained through pain and sacrifice and the willingness to fight, even though it may be for a lost cause.

I love Sheska as a symbol of lost information coming back; her memory is what "resurrects" all the books lost when Scar burnt down the library, and she's the one who pieces together what Hughes found out as well.
