Fullmetal Alchemist

Are FMA fans the only anime fandom who have a normal, human reaction to the events of their favorite series?

shut the fuck up faggot

>cries cuz sum fictional character cried about his friend dying
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

What do you mean? Like fans of other series flip out and piss and shit everywhere in response to a character doing a thing?

This exactly.

they also have weird and unrealistic interpretations of the story and of characters' behavior.

This has got to be sarcasm then, because the part with Roy Mustang being told not to kill Envy out of anger and revenge has got to be one of the biggest examples of a fans not having a normal reaction to an event in the story, and having weird and unrealiatic interpretaions of the characters behavior.

True. Once a while you see a thread talking about that or you see it mentioned in threads like "worst anime tropes" and they always post Roy with "if you kill him you'll be just like him"

fma is based

It really is, genuine fantasy classic and genuine anime classic

OG series is much better than Brotherhood.

>implying

that's actually my favourite subversion of that trope
>if you kill him you'll be just like him
>so WE'LL kill him for you

This. Brotherhood is shit

What I want to know is why so many people get this series tattooed on their body.

The mystique of occult imagery without the commitment of getting something spiritually symbolic like a pentagram tattooed on you

Brotherhood had that shitty superdeformed/OOC humor mixed in during serious moments and the pacing in the last ten episodes was rushed to all hell.

If that's your complaint you might as well just whine about Batman's fanbase and canon

this and also it's easy to scale up or down so it can be as innocuous as you want your reference tattoo to be

Also, it's easy to make up spiritually meaningful bullshit about to cover your ass if a non-otaku asks about it.

"I practice ceremonial magick, that's MAGIC WITH A K" sounds just as cringe as making an otaku reference desu

Genuinely what do you mean by this? Are you drawing comparison to how Jojo fans pretend to give a shit about shallow characters and events as the series stumbles through poorly constructed melodrama until they forget that they're pretending?

Good one of many examples of contrast

>People who watch Hellsing and immediately identify with Millennium
>People who think they have mad ninja skills because they watch Naruto
>Jojo's Bizarre Adventure fans who think it's cool to act like parody versions of the characters irl

etc.

Do you mean they dont over analyze the hell out of it? Yes. Its fucking creepy how obsessed some fanbases get

>Jojo's Bizarre Adventure fans who think it's cool to act like parody versions of the characters irl
Where the fuck does this happen, an anime club?

Please don't say that

Yeah it is a cool subversion and shows the willingness of his subordinates to carry out his will. It helps paint Roy Mustang as a Furher and people willingly following him.

Well, I think this answers your question
