12/10/2023 0 Comments Bad metal alchemist memes![]() ![]() PairingsįMA has a number of quite active pairing-based fandoms. Other calendar dates that are commemorated by the fandom include Meat Day (February 9th, based on a pun in Japanese that is refenced in the manga), and International Tumbleweed Day (December 18th, for unknown reasons). Since it's the same date as a meme from Mean Girls there is also some popular crossover art and discussion of interaction between the two fandoms. October 3rd is an important date in the story, which fans of the series commemorate every year with fanart and memes. Some of the more active comms include the major sexually based divisions fma_gen, fma_yaoi and fma_het, and the manga-specific comm hagaren_manga. The central, general community is fm_alchemist, but the fandom has quite a few strong factions or sub-fandoms. Others feel that, since the late anime diverged so greatly, no real continuity should be assumed unless it is directly confirmed in the anime.įullmetal Alchemist has had a very active fandom since late 2003, largely centered in LiveJournal comms. This is not indicated in the anime, but as there is nothing to absolutely contradict it, some fans fee it can be assumed. For example, the manga reveals that an early, minor character is the grandfather of a main character, Hawkeye. Some fans feel that parts of the two versions can still be reconciled. This made the common divide between anime oriented fans and manga oriented fans considerably deeper than usual. While the early fandom regarded the two versions as renditions of the same story, later discussion and fanworks have had to distinguish which continuity they are dealing with. The differences between the 2003 anime and the original manga has, however, led to a split in the fandom. The second anime adaptation, Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood (usually shortened as "FMAB" or "Brotherhood") follows the manga much more closely, and despite some changes (particularly in the earlier episodes), Brotherhood and the manga are often considered the same canon (sometimes referred to by fans as "mangahood" to contrast with the '03 anime canon). The ending of the first TV series and the manga differ greatly after the appearance of the character Greed. Arakawa consulted on the creation of the anime, but did not assist with the writing. The 2003 anime is based on the manga, and follows it closely for a time, but at about the middle of the anime run and around volume seven of the manga the stories diverge. Over time they become increasingly involved in national affairs, both political and alchemical. This series follows the adventures of two boys, Edward and Alphonse Elric, as they search for a way to restore their damaged bodies after a dreadful alchemical accident. In addition, Arakawa is female, which some fans feel gives this shounen series a broader, more gender-balanced appeal. While the series is generally consistent with the shounen genre, it has attracted many adult fans as well. It has also been rendered as an anime twice, produced by Studio Bones, as a novel, in drama CDs, three video role playing games and a trading card game. Fullmetal Alchemist, or Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, is a steampunk fantasy manga by Hiromu Arakawa, set in a world that resembles early 20th Century Europe with working alchemy.
