"In just 20 minutes a day... "

All these screenshots of shirtless!Roy and I still can't muster up the motivation to watch the latest episodes of Brotherhood. It doesn't help that his physique is a little frightening - it's like Armstrong's chest was superimposed on Roy's body. I get that it's dramatic lighting and all, but really, it's not appealing. I much prefer the subtlety (in comparison) of the manga. Otherwise it looks like a dramatic scene and it's one of my favorite Roy-moments in the manga, but I can't get past the hyper-Bowflex body.

THANK YOU!!! FINALLY some one who is not insane XDDD He is sooo freaking weird looking XDD I was soooo disappointed XD

LOL XD - I'm seeing squee after squee, and my reaction is more like "Ummmm... c_c" The over-sculpted look really doesn't suit.

Dragon Ball Z Roy XDD (I need to watch eps 14 and up ^^;;) But yeah O.o Roy has a body yes but he was never super muscled DBZ O.o

[dragonimp.livejournal.com]

DBZ Roy XD;; Yeah, that's about it. That goes beyond "fit" and into "body sculpting" territory. Thanks but, um, no thanks.

Mayracs said he looked like he was from DBZ and so did Lormae (sp?)

*nods emphatically*

I hear ya. I'm all for half-nekkid Roy, but I thought the six pack was a bit... off...


Edit: oh, and THANK YOU for the frightening imagery of sparkling Armstrong!Roy... *cowers*

:D

Six-pack and ... I'm not even sure what to call those pecs. Besides "unnatural" and "wrong." Shadows just shouldn't fall like that. Reading the same scene in the manga, I totally want to lick Roy. The Brotherhood version, mm, not so much.

(Armstrong and Roy's illegitimate ch - I can't even finish that, it's too wrong ^^;)

[nochick-fics.livejournal.com]

Argh! That's beyond wrong.

Must not envision, must not envision, must not envision........... *fails and dies*

WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT!!!

It's actually really well done. It looks overdone in the screencaps, but you only see his chest like that for 5 seconds. Yeah okay they made him super buff because it's anime - they do that with Ed, too. But it's SOOOOOO GOOD!! Just... watch it!

I will, eventually ^^;;. I have to get over my annoyance at 17 and its pacing.

sculpted!Roy looks scary...

Sculpted!Roy is a little too sculpted c_c....

[auragirl.livejournal.com]

urrrgh.
If anything Roy's body and face implies a kinda chubby figure, I'll never stop saying that. I don't think he'd have love handles or anything but I can't imagine a visible six pack, not with all that desk sitting he does. Maybe when he was younger.

On one of the pictures in the art book, Arakawa comments "the colonel got fat." So yeah. I doubt it was intentional, but even the creator sees it ^^. They're not using the chubbier character design in Brotherhood, but still, the Bowflex body doesn't suit. (The guy has a desk job!)
