And the reason it's bad that I would talk about not necessarily liking RoyEd is that that's not even really TRUE. (I like RoyEd a LOT.)
Watched my episode 16. They were playing one of those BGMs again. Doesn't get me as bad as THAT one, but still. Let's see. (Spoilers ahoy.)
Al got left at the wrong station, and Ed pretty much jumped out of the train to go find him. On the way, he encounters death from above, or a little girl who steals his left leg to give to her amputee daddy. Ed and the guy talk, and Ed gets sad. Meanwhile, Al does the hokey cursed-armor thing and manages to keep a wannabe assassin boy-kid from using him as a bulletproof vest.
Well, it was good, because they addressed some things that had been bothering me, or worrying me. Mostly that good old-fashioned Elric Angst. Ed confirmed for us that his life sucks and he really HASN'T gotten anything good from losing an arm and a leg and Al's body. It made me want to give him a hug...though, yes, EVERYTHING makes me want to give him a hug (this is me, attempting to stop and see just about every single different frame of Ed's face. I weep). Got another (temporary) sore throat from all the sad. ;_;
Here's my situation: I AM GRIPPED BY THE FEAR OF ANY MORE BAD THINGS HAPPENING TO THE ELRIC KIDS. You have no idea how bad this is for me. I am so worried about them. They so FREQUENTLY seem to be at rock bottom that all I can think is that if they get any more shit, they're not going to be able to TAKE it, and if that happens, I quit. I'm gonna close up shop and do nothing but try to sleep for 24 hours, and then when I get up I'm going to be edgy around Sasuke for at least a week for letting me download something that hit me that hard. DON'T START WITH ME. YOU KNEW I WAS A DORK WHEN YOU STARTED READING. XD I have no idea whether it's just lust, or the deep motherfucking go away so I can live my fucking life sensitivity again, but I feel it so much that sometimes I'm afraid to think about seeing the rest of this series through. AHEM, we all know there is some bad shit scheduled to go down here. I tend to think that this series is going to hammer its equal trade message home by first being unbelievably depressing, and then being terrific and happy. I am (unreasonably) scared that the second part won't be long enough. Or that it won't happen. Very NG.
(So this is why episode 3 made me so wobbly: because you get an eyeful of the Elric kids losing everything, and it is made very clear that this is a punishment, not just some random kind of bad luck. You don't get to see (much) of the part where they start to scrape their way out of that mess. It startled me.)
(And this is why I want the manga so bad: because Ed is more of a DUDE and isn't as ridiculously VULNERABLE. GODDAMMIT KID WTF.)
Someone in the FMA community said they'd actually scan the fortune-telling booklet. I weep with joy.
