FMA fans have precisely one joke, but damn, it's a funny joke.
I don't get it
Ignorance is bliss.
I heard Fullmetal Alchemist is a good anime. Just saying.
I don't want to watch a whole ass anime to understand a meme lol
spoiler
Doctor alchemist dad murders them both and combines them into a chimera, Its later revealed he did the same to his wife who "left" him.
People like to reference this because it was a well written horror short that threw everyone for a loop. Its both a form of traumabonding and way of messing with people who are in the know.
Here's an Eng. subbed compilation of it. https://youtu.be/isv56mXkcsQ
Almost the same thing but eng. dubbed, if it suits your fancy. https://youtu.be/hUxSeJaxHCc
No-no, you watch it because it's a good anime, memes are just a nice complement to that.
It is a good anime but Its been out for years and maybe if they keep seeing it referenced theyll get around to watching it. The episode in question is basically filler and doesnt provide much to the overarching story
I'm not into that weird stuff were they always hit on underage girls and all those anime tropes
the only sexualised character in FMA is an adult woman
Oh wow
There isn't much at all of that stuff it from what I remember.
It was more about the two brothers who messed up a couple things with alchemy and their journey to find the answers to fix them.
That Fullmetal Alchemist episode is perhaps the most traumatic piece of anime I've watched to date, not counting Grave of the Fireflies of course. I haven't watched Brotherhood, but is it in there as well?
I find Made in Abyss to be peak fucked up traumatic, myself. Just like the entire thing.
Mostly because it’s young children.
It is, however, one of my favorite series. It’s beautiful, with mostly bright happy colors, and a true sense of awe, which makes it that much more fucked up.
Me, who never watched FMA
Web searches
"Oh wtaf?"
Adds FMA to Sonarr download list
The original anime diverges from the manga about 2/3 in.
The later FMA: Brotherhood doesn'5, but it's quite condensed in the early parts (where the two overlap).
Both are very good.
the most traumatic bit of anime for me was the animatrix where the human pilot got ripped out of his mech and carefully torn to pieces by a machine while he's screaming in terror for his mom to save him.
that was traumatizing shit to watch as a kid.
Maybe my brain was already too cooked from seeing awful stuff on the internet at the point where I watched the Animatrix, even though that's hard to believe, I was still in my 20s back then, but I've totally forgotten that scene. Maybe it's time for a rewatch, I have rewatched The Matrix a few times this year already after all.
Berserk would probably be at that level as well.
Yes, but all the later Tucker stuff from the original series isn't.
Sweetheart, Brotherhood is the original. The one that released first is a fanfic that went too far (both figuratively and story-wise).
Brotherhood follows the original manga and picks up after this story, so you don't see it in Brotherhood, but it happened.
It's definitely there, only watched brotherhood and am traumatized
Nah, this part is in Brotherhood, too, albeit slightly more condensed iirc.
what, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck?
Watching this right now with my kids and I fucking skipped that episode. It's somehow more disturbing than their inside-out mother.
