What about the episode with the suicide club?
And just to clarify things even more... I have to actually think about things for the Saturday Night shows... and someone once told me that if I liked ATHF, I'd like Napoleon Dynamite.

I found Napoleon Dynamite to be the dullest, dumbest movie I had ever seen. You'd have to be stoned off your ass in order to laugh hysterically at that.
I agree with you here, but I still must e-smack YOU for even thinking about any comparisons between the two

*e-smack-a-roo*

...Sorry, I went into an angry rant... point is, Fullmetal Alchemist is NOT Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Saturday Night is on a whole different level from Sunday Night.
I never said it was
...Except for Samurai Champloo. That's kinda weird. As is FLCL.
FLCL is a work of art, don't go dissin it! :x
But FMA is, in fact, very deep, and I just want you people to actually pay attention without going all ADHD on it.
I DO appreciate it. I just don't diss people who don't pay attention to the science behind it.

You're confusing American Cartoons with Japanese Anime.

And for that, I must e-smack you.

*e-smacks*

You're also confusing Saturday Nights with Sunday Nights. Saturday Night shows are relatively serious, and action-oriented, and often have deep and heavily developed plotlines. God, trying to keep up with InuYasha can be a hassle, if it wasn't for their constant reminders every episode of what's going on - which can be irritating, but is good if you missed one or two episodes. And have you ever seen Paranoia Agent? That is NOT a gigglefest.

I found Napoleon Dynamite to be the dullest, dumbest movie I had ever seen. You'd have to be stoned off your ass in order to laugh hysterically at that.

And you have to be a frickin' moron to feel the need to quote it ONCE, let alone EVERY FREAKING DAY!

When I ask someone what they want to do... I actually expect them to give me something so I have any idea on their interests at the moment, not "Whatever I feel like, gosh!"

*slaps him* I love Napolean Dynomite-_-;;;;; and ok I cant agree with you at all. But were human and have different opinions.....like I said before. So please stop complaining. Obiously everyone is entitled to their own opinion stupid or not. You dont have to go insulting what everyone likes and you dont have to insult people who like what you dont. Live with it hun. There are things in the world that arent likeable.

It's not OPINION I'm worried about! It's "OMG EDWARD ELRIC IS TEH SECKS, IF I SAW HIM WALKING DOWN THE STREET I WOULD SQUEEL AND HUGZ HIM BECAUSE I LUFF HIM AND WANT TO MARRY HIM!" and "OMG I WANT TO BE AN ALCHEMIST LIKE ED AND DRAW TRANZMOOTAYSHUN SERKLES!"

And yes, I have encountered people who actually believe THAT is Alchemy. Rather than be interested in FMA because of Alchemy, they're interested in Alchemy because of FMA.

Which is just fine, unless they have no clue what Alchemy is.

Okay, first of all... I'm with you when it involves posts like that, though I usually ignore them and just move on to the next thread.

It's not so much the alchemy as it is the fact that there are actually people out there who believe that by clapping their hands together they can produce mystical effects. Humans are funny that way.

Problem is, Xeno... many of the threads ARE specifically for that fangirl crap.

And sadly... yes... humans are always into the "Wouldn't it be cool if I could make things happen at will?"

Sorry to break it to you, those of you who like to RP with Ed's ability: You can't just have your character doing that just for the hell of it. Ed can do that because he's seen the Gate, and what's beyond... The "Truth," as he says... he can do that because he learned how when he was there, and all the information on Alchemy was being crammed into his head. If your RP character has not performed a human transmutation (meaning you might need a friend to play a Homunculus), your character is worthless. And if you're doing Ed, you'd better know everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - about him. Right down to how he acts and speaks (I'm talking speech patterns, not voice).

Okay, not MOST, but many that I see... the "OMGZ I WANT TO MARRY ED!"

I didn't mean to offend you, Biki, you're actually one of the better people on here. I'm referring to the moronic people who do nothing but swoon over the characters, and rather than even MENTION something out of the storyline, they obsess over some character and can never seem to talk about anything but that.

My whole point in this is... there are too many repeated threads of this pointless "I LOVE SO AND SO!" crap. I'd actually like more threads talking about the Anime, discussing it, going over the points in the story we like, and why. For instance... "What is your favorite episode?" rather than "Who is your favorite character?"

That doesn't seem to be a big change, but... to be honest, it is. You can love the episode with Psiren, not because you think she's hot, but because you like the concept of a dying town finding hope in the publicity of a theif.

Or you could enjoy the episodes with the fake Elric brothers, not because "OH, FAKE ED IS SO CUTE!" but because it tells a good story, and brings Ed and Al closer to understanding what the Philosopher's Stone does.

I doubt this helps any... everybody will just claim to have a right to post whatever the hell they want, and go right back to posting the worthless threads... if you'll notice, I do find promise in some, and TRY to give it an intellectual approach, like with the one about the Homunculi and Seven Deadly Sins...

I'm trying to turn many of the... well, simple... threads into something more complex and interesting for those who really expect more out of FMA discussion than "OMG ENVY IS TEH SHMEX!" (No offense to Envy_Homunculus who I know is a big Envy fan... but you have to admit, it's also pretty cool that he has the ability to imitate anyone he sees, even in a photo....)

Same with Major Armstrong... I'll just do this one right now... Alex Louis Armstrong. Take off "Alex," and you're left with the name of a famous Jazz singer. Sweet.

I NEVER in hell said Envy is teh shmex. What the hell is that anyway? I just love that he has that no care attitude, is evil, and shapeshifts which I think is a great technique for a homunculus....I kind of take offense to that in a way....because your insulting other people who are rabid fangirls and are my friends....I just dont want flames to bear over them is all.

I never said you said it, did I? But yeah... I like him because he's clever, he probably has the best ability out of all the Homunculi, and he is probably the most passionate about what he does - and he may be even worse on the anger issue than Wrath is.

But I do think your friends should try cooling down on the fangirl thing... and maybe I'll cool down my hating them. They're the reasons why perfectly good people who may LOVE the Anime never even want to watch it - they see what they'll be associating with if they actually become fans, and know it'll drive them insane.

Ok hun, look, I am not gonna tell them to chill down on loving an anime character. I am not going to change their minds on this matter. They're themselves and you're you. If you want to keep on hating them and me go ahead it doesnt bother me none. But you did refrence MY user name on that matter of saying Envy is the Smex or whatever. Like I said before its their choice. One person like me isnt going to change their opinion. But if you keep hating us......Ill keep lovin you! :color: *hugs him*

Graah... I didn't mean to say that you did, I simply know you love Envy, and didn't WANT you to freak out and think I meant you. You're one of the better people, and I just wanted to point out that I didn't mean any offense to you.

I'd just rather people tried not being such... well, idiots. That's the only way I can describe their actions, and I'm sorry if someone thinks I'm being mean, or flaming... but that's the way they're acting, so that's the way I label them.

I don't want people blaming me, I'm simply being honest and stating what I've seen, and giving my reaction to it.

that is so pyro_pyscho. and thank you xiam. i'm not as much a fangirl as h_e's friends but i do love the characters. but i am more interested n the show than the characters themselves. but as h_e said, it is their opinion. they r entitled 2 their own and have the right 2 voice it how they choose. even if we do not like it we must respect it. the sad truth huh? oh well.
