Brotherhood eps. 52-54

[dragonimp]

Okay, that was well worth watching. On the whole, I thought Al's fight and Roy's fight came off better in the manga, but they were still amazing. But the end part of Roy's, in 54, was incredible. And the subtext - it doesn't even seem right to call it "subtext" anymore, more like all but spelling in out in BIG NEON LETTERS. And I thought it got strong in the manga, geez, that was nothing compared to Roy/Maes flashback central here.

And I'll be damned if I don't have a fem-crush on Olivia now. I mean, she's awesome in the manga, but that voice did me in. Apparently all it takes to make me question my sexuality is an amazing badass voice *coughPakuRomicough*

Ugh, that whole entry pissed me off. I saw your comment on the one person who hated us RoyxEd angry hate!sex pedo shippers. *eyeroll*

Honestly, I know people who have never even HEARD of FMA comment on the underlying gayness. WTF does that tell you???

You have to be in serious, serious denial not to see the yaoiness. Especially by now. I managed to get through the whole first anime without thinking Roy/Hughes was canon, but even my denial is not that strong. (So take that, RoyAi-is-canon-so-you-must-ship-it person. It's got less subtext than Roy/Hughes!!)

Years ago I showed the original series to one of my straightest friends--and she said, "Roy and Hughes--there was something there, even if it was one-sided. Am I right?"
"Wellllll...."
"No, seriously. It's pretty obvious."
I can't WAIT until she sees eps 53-54.

Roy was more upset and pissed about Hughes death. Even though it's implied as best friends, he was more UPSET AND ANGRY AT THE DEATH OF HIS BEST FRIEND then when he thought Riza might be dead (the throat) So he was more upset about his dead best friend then the 'love of his life' being dead. I like Roy/Riza but even that seems off. Maybe he wasn't with Hughes but he certainly wasn't that worried about Riza. He's been, at times, more worried about Ed and Al! SO much for the greatest truest love ever from them -_-
