Today in WA4, there was a scene with Raquel that was so cool I nearly peed myself. Thus, in Raquel's honor, I jumped on the bandwagon and drew a crummy picture. :D 「可愛げ」なくても大丈夫。 むしろ、「可愛げ」だけがほしい、 ラクウェルの秘めた「可愛げ」を引き出すのがめんどい、 と言う男なんか避けといたほーがいい! (あと、「可愛げ」だけのゆうr同性をしっかりと守ってあげましょうね。)

Lots of people are commenting, so it must be important, right? Ahahahaha. I love the thread where they're arguing whether or not Arakawa liked the way the anime came out. Like we would ever be able to figure out what that woman is thinking, anyway! ...on the other hand, I like her, and that makes me think I know what's going on in her head. Gee, I wonder if other people feel that way. Haha. Ha.

So: I have very little doubt that she was overjoyed to see her characters moving, talking and making a ruckus on TV. That's the kind of thing that can keep you up at night writhing in your bed with joy. It's so good, and way back when, the fans were happy about it, too.

I also doubt that any announcements that Arakawa was happy with the anime are anything but LIES LIES LIES, especially in magazines (ANYWHERE, for heaven's sake), where the pressure is on to be agreeable, and especially if they come from Mr. Fatass Moneyloving Director Mizushima. I do doubt that she was happy with Ed being so much more vulnerable, all those plot holes, all the funny (read: good) stuff getting squished into two episodes...the Scar x Al vibes, for god's sake (there's nothing wrong with the coupling itself, I like any chance to see Scar having sex, but it was totally out-of-the-blue). I doubt that she liked the anime. I think she only accepted it at best.

Okay, I also like that part because someone else seems to have noticed that Mizushima Seiji spewed all over Shaman King, too. Heck knows they probably picked that up from me somehow, but I can still hope, right?

That said, I would be uncomfortable reading a review that said that FMA was nothing but a shiny golden loveride (a what?) from start to finish, because I disagree. FMA is a series that was MADE by promising beautiful, wonderful things would happen to us and its characters at the very end (at least for me), and it did not deliver. If the reviewer thinks that's what ruined it, I'd have to agree.

EDIT: I wondered that Kithal would do with that artpad thing and suddenly felt a chill. This is not a challenge.

It's too late... saying it like that, it'll only be a matter of time before he does doodle something with that artpad. We can only hope now that it's so terrible we can't make out any shapes whatsoever.

They should have just made FMA all about Hughes' investigations.

Like... CSI: Central City. I'd be all over that shit like jam on toast.

I talk about that with my friend Yang all the time. Usually it's some joke about Roy being investigated for molesting Ed and keeping Yukari-sensei under his desk. (Ahh, a good WTF now and then...)
