Placing FMA on hold
After watching episode 14 of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood’s next episode preview, I decided that I should really place it “on hold” until something interesting comes up. Something… very new compared to the original FMA. I mean it’s cool to be able to “rewatch” FMA but my mind wanders every now and then because it’s something I already seen before. I thought that after ~8 episodes would show something new but well, nothing new really showed up.
So yeah, I’m placing this series on hold until I hear/read that FMA:B is going somewhere.

You’re putting FMA on hold when the interesting things start in both battles and alchemy theories…brought by the people from the East!
I think this is the point from where the Original Anime deviated from the manga.
uh
Excuse me
You are quitting FMA until something new happens
Which occurs in Episode 14
Are you sure you watched episode 14? I mean I don’t know how you could miss the whole King Bradley defeats Greed and sends him back to his boss who melts Greed down to his core, and drinks him, Also instead of Sloth being the Elric’s mother it’s also a heavily muscular man.
How the hell did you not notice that? I mean people who just look at pictures could get a better understanding of this episode than you did.
Also the preview shows scenes and characters who where never in the first anime.
From here on out while they are a few similar scenes (Hohenheim asks where his house is) nearly all of it is brand new with new characters, and Homunculi.
Episode 14 is beginning of true divergence. Episode 15 will be true divergence. New characters!
@53RG10: I don’t know about that but sure. I kind of “felt” that when seeing the preview. That’s why I’m placing it on hold. Deviation from what I consider “interesting” is what I consider “uninteresting.”
@Charred Knight: You do amaze me on how you derive that I didn’t notice shit. I never said anything about quitting FMA nor did I say anything related to what happened in the episode. It was only a post of my general feel of me not having the feeling to watch what I considered “uninteresting episodes.” I found myself rather apathetic about what will happen next as its pretty much stuff already made.
So instead of downloading/streaming the episode, I decided to just read what happens through other blogs and if what happens really is interesting, I’ll pick it back up.
@selenitedreams: OK.
I’m with Charred Knight, if you watched the episode you wouldnt write what you wrote. So you either : a) havent watched the episode, b) blind and stupid, or c) intentionally lie.
@Karry: Or I’m just not as hard core as you guys. I don’t know how many times I need to repeat this, but I just didn’t feel that the next few episodes would be any-what interesting to me. If you do, good for you. If you don’t, good for you. Blatantly put, I don’t think like you nor do I think like Charred Knight. Just because you think you know-it-all and that you like it doesn’t mean that others don’t know what you know and that that they also like it like you. Suck it up, the world doesn’t revolve around you.
If you’re going to try and persuade me to watch later episodes, use better arguments instead of what you wrote. Obviously what you wrote is completely ignorant and was written without even reading the post correctly or at all. The key to arguments like these is to actually read the post before the comments and have the arguments combat its contrasts. Making false assertions doesn’t show anything except that you’re agreeing with Knight just because his belief align with yours.
Here’s some questions you should answer before commenting back:
a) Did I read the post correctly or did I skim?
b) What is this post about; what’s the main point of it?
c) Are my assertions valid?
d) What if Aizen did watch the episode?
e) What if Aizen knows what I know?
f) What makes one stupid and blind?
g) To me, what is the definition of an “intentional lie?”
Your current comment is no better than a Christian asserting that God exists by saying that there are no other answers, genius.
Aizen, you really must be blind and stupid if you have to watch the same shit twice.
@Veto: Trudat. That’s why I’m “stopping” now.
To quote you: “Something… very new compared to the original FMA. I mean it’s cool to be able to “rewatch” FMA but my mind wanders every now and then because it’s something I already seen before.”
Not to be a broken record, but what part of episode 14 and beyond are not new? I think the point Charred Knight and Karry are making is that you contradicted yourself saying that you want new content which is exactly what was provided. Whether it was interesting or not is a different story.
Yay for interweb drama.
@TommyJ: What did I say before that? Was that sentence just ignored? Obviously if you place the two together it would be “interesting and very new.” Very new would be something that is completely different from the original series that it doesn’t even relate at all to the original series either. That’s my definition of it. Interesting would be something that catches my attention. That’s my definition of it. I felt that this episode and the preview didn’t provide enough of both.
Sorry for not writing a long post explaining my position but I didn’t expect any drama. Why? Because I barely ever had any commenter who created drama like “this”.
So here’s the thing: The preview had familiar faces so I deemed it as “like the old FMA.” If they aren’t, I can’t argue with that; I don’t remember everything from the first FMA and can only say “that looks familiar.” If it fulfills that much to me (without the feedback of others) I claim it as “old.”
And as said before, I’m going to read/look at other blogs to see if something new (or if you need to me to write it, “new and interesting”) happens. Something that actually enthralls my attention.
