FMA movie ~ (Conqueror of Shamballa) ~ My conclusion  
[mood| a bit sad ]
[music| Akutsu Jin - Get free (remix) ]


So after I´ve finished watching the series I could not stand it NOT to watch the movie, too. I just was TOO curious :/ ......
Because it´s absolutely worth TALKING about, I thought I should write down my impressions again, so that we can discuss a little bit.
I have a very strong necessity to talk this over~ ... more than after the end of the anime series O__O;;


SPOILER WARNING:
If you haven´t watched the MOVIE yet, PLEASE don´t read any further unless you WANT to know what´s happening there !!!





So on to the movie.
I already knew that it would take part AFTER the anime series, that´s why I wanted to see it so badly ;_; ....
BUT I don´t know if it was the right choice .... cuz I think I like the end of the series BETTER !!!!

Well, where should I begin ?
Holy crap, it´s a good thing that I watched the movie AFTER the anime series !!! The opening alone is sooooo full of spoilers of the anime XD ... but it´s rare that a movie takes place AFTER the ending of an anime series, isn´t it ? Usually movies display sidestories or something like that (e.g. Dragonball, Sailor Moon, Detective Conan, Slayers AND SO ON)
So HOW the hell should one know that the movie takes place AFTER the anime series ??? XD~
But putting that aside, I want to explain why I don´t like the end of the movie.


It´s hard to describe how I feel about the movie. It was REALLY great seeing Ed GROWN up and Al beeing so cool using alchemy XDXD *squee*, on the other hand I didn´t like the story that much. People of 'our' world trying to conquer another world or dimension .... I guess I didn´t like the fact that the people of 'our' world were aware of the existence of another world. I´m not sure.
One more thing that was getting horribly on my nerves: Germany, Nazis, Hitler: C'mon use OTHER topics !!!! I had enough of THAT ! And I do not like the connection between THAT and FMA :( ..... It doesn´t fit .....
Have you recognized that 'our' world was displayed very mealy and colorless ??? Whereas Ed´s world is always VERY colorful !!!! Well ok, considering that Ed thinks of 'our' world as only a dream from time to time, I can see why it´s like that !!! But it makes 'our' world a place you don´t want to be, right ? That was the impression I got back then :/ .... So POOR Ed !!
Ah, one thing did disturb me: I thought WHY does Ed have BOTH of his arms again ? That´s not right !!! Until I realized that his arm and leg were protheses XD


I didn´t like the Alphonse over there very much :( .... uwah~ hopefully the 'real' Al will never suffer from the breaking of his voice XD I like his childish voice better ^-^;
Although there are so many familiar faces in 'our' world, it seems that Ed was ALL alone. Uwah~ I hated Hughes-san over there x___X GO TO HELL ! x____x
So~ it was SUCH a great scene when Al appeared in front of his brother ;____________; (in his old armor XD) ... at first I was like "WHAT the FUCK is going on here ????" BUT I was totally happy ;___;
I was wondering right at the start why there was an armor looking like Al´s ! I guess it was because when Ed was saving his bro, the armor went into and then through the GATE ??!!! Any other suggestions ???
And have I already mentioned how cool Al looks when he´s using alchemy, looking like Ed back then ;___; Kyah~ XD BUT have I seen that right ? Al doesn´t need a circle anymore ? Well, I guess he´s transmuted his bro, so no wonder ....


Ok, as you can see there were also things I liked about the movie XD
The best thing EVER was when Al and Ed (and Winry) met up again ;___________________; I SO CRIED !!!! Damn EVERYONE was waiting for THIS moment only, RIGHT ????????? AAAAAAHH .... I thought it would be best to stop the movie right there and declare THIS as the end XDDDDDDD~ ...................... ;____________;²³²³²³ *buaaah* *coughs* Excuse me :/ ...
Well, this reunion was one of the best things ^-^ it was soooooooo cute when Winry hugged Ed ;___; and he blushed ♥♥~
But Al running away, because he thought it was ALL his fault, was getting on my nerves ;) They´re united again, and Al runs away ? WTF ???? x______________X;;;;


Well and OF COURSE it was SO great seeing those two fighting together, using alchemy WITHOUT a circle ^-^ (btw. it was sooooo funny when Ed tried to clap his hands together in our 'world' saying something like 'As if something would happen anyway' XD)
AND Roy Mustang was soooo cool in that movie, too !! I like him a little bit more now XD~

A HUGE disadvantage was that there were dying SO many people ;_____;
I didn´t like Wrath, but still ..... and Gluttony (Oh man he really became ugly XD) ... AND Hohenheim ;_____________; ... never liked him that much, but ... ARGH !!!!!~
And it´s ALWAYS sooo cute to hear Japanese people speaking German XDXD




Nyah~
on to the end and why I don´t like it:
So the fight was over, Ed and Al´s world was saved .... but seeing the look in Ed´s eyes I went: "HOLD ON, for real ??? DON´T GO !! ;_____;" ... and then it was too late ... I SO cried, I thought THIS can´t be true, at first they pitch them being together to us and THEN this ;__; .... I felt relieved when I saw Al crawling out of his armor .... BUT it´s so damn sad that they are in our world and can NEVER come back now ;______________; .... what´s with this ? They absolutely don´t fit in our world ! They ARE so cool using alchemy and now they can´t do it anymore !!! Ed will never get good auto-mail again !!! What´s with him and Winry ? What´s with Roy and Ed ? XD *coughs* ARGH !!!~ I so don´t like this ;__; ...
It would have been way better if Roy came to our world to close the gate and Ed and Al could have stayed at home ;_; ...... or SOMETHING like that !!! Why didn´t another person go and close the gate ? Dare ga ;_; ....

Well, perhaps I´m overreacting, but I simply don´t like this. I think it would be better when Ed and Al still were seperated and there would be hope that they meet each other again in THEIR world !!!!
This end is so definite :( ... the other one was more an open end ....




Don´t get me wrong I really liked the movie plus it was eyecandy pure :) ♥ ... but still ..... perhaps I shouldn´t have watched the movie right away, I don´t know ...


And finally:



My, seeing Al coming out in his OWN body OUT of the armor which was his body for this long, .. it´s GREAT !



Nyahahaha~ so they´re together in our world ? Kyah~ Scar can´t look friendlyl XD

So, all of you who have watched the movie already, TELL me your thoughts and impressions please. I want to discuss this, perhaps it gets me liking the movie more :/ ....
Again I have to apologize for my horrible English x_X


Jaa, nevertheless I sooooooooo need to make a LOT of screenshots and icons *___*

When I first watched the movie I loved it, but maybe that was just my fangirlishness kicking in and my inner fangirl screaming 'yay! theres still more FMA!'

But when I watched the movie again, I got to see what the big fuss was about.
Before I start rambling, I'd like point out that you said 'Al doesn´t need a circle anymore ? Well, I guess he´s transmuted his bro, so no wonder ....'
That isn't true. On the palms of Alphonse's gloves he has transmutation circles drawn, or on the inside of his gloves or something.

Anyway, the part that I was most 'WTF!?' about, was when Edward was fighting with the people trying to get the gypsy who was hiding in the cart. He says 'it wont work anyway etc' and does something fancy with his prostetic arm.
What the hell did he do!? He just seemed to fiddle around with some wires, sparks went everywhere, and then he proceeded to kick the stuffing out of the thugs. Unless of course I missed something when he was playing around with his arm, I have no idea what the point of all that dramatic talking and flailing of the prostetic arm was about.
Could someone tell me what the hell he did to it to make him so super-powered or whatever?

Another thing. A giant flying-warship-of-doom explodes out of the sky, shooting and exploding random things and so on...
And Roy goes after it in a hot air balloon.
I think that was the point where I started banging my head against the table.

The hitler thing came out of nowhere, but while most of you guys thought it was pointless and stupid, I thought it gave the movie an interesting twist. Like Hughes being a Nazi on the other side, I had no god-damn idea where that came from, but isn't that a good thing?
I mean, don't we all love stupid and unexpected twists?

(By the way, Nazi Hughes spying on Flower-lady Gracia was so cute! XD)

I loved the emotions the movie evoked. Roy was giving his standard does of angst (And suddenly appearing out of a snow pile, THAT was amusing) and the whole 'Ed you're back, YAY!' *ed and al hug* that made me squeal with joy, and then there was 'Ed you're going? no!' that had me close to tears, and THEN there was 'YAY! AL'S HERE! *more sibling hugging*

I was cheering near to that point, and the parentals were in the next room yelling at me to shut the hell up :P

So yeah, the movie had its flaws, but all in all i think it was a good way to end the series or continue it or whatever :P
It does also leave it open for many fanfictions/fanart etc about different ways the Elric bro's could return to Amestris.

Okay, my rant is done now ^_^

Oh and human Al and older Ed? OMFG YUM. >.<

HELL YEAH so true <3333

That isn't true. On the palms of Alphonse's gloves he has transmutation circles drawn, or on the inside of his gloves or something.
Yeah someone else here told me that :/ BUT for some reason I think it´s better this way, so Ed is the ONLY one alive who can transmute things without a circle right ? ... well ... if he WERE in HIS own world that is ;__; ...

*hugs both the bros too* ^-^

True, but he didn't have a plane, did he? ^^; Oh well, maybe he could have used the brothers' trick and transmute a way up. :p But Amestris doesn't have that much technology for flying, so you have to forgive them a bit.
