I watched fma and I don’t remember this, is my memory bad or is the person I the screenshot just making shit up?
I don’t think it was in the 2003 version, so it might matter which version you watched. But it was the notes Ed deciphered which let him know that Philosophers Stones are made of people
Yep, in Brotherhood they decipher the codes out of a cook book to reveal the secret “ingredient” of the Philosopher’s Stone
Also the nationwide transmutation circle. It’s shape reveals that many of Amestrus’ past military actions were actually part of a grand conspiracy. Hughes figures this out.
The whole country’s shape and history is part of a literal recipe.
There’s also the bit where Scar’s Brother’s notes have a the counter circle hidden on the back.
Spoilers!
Sorry to break this to you, but it’s been like… Twenty years? Dang, I feel old…
Hah you’re good I actually watched the original series when it came out.
Been meaning to try Brotherhood, I don’t read manga so would be interesting to see the difference. But it’s a heavy investment for a show I’ve sorta already seen.
You’ve seen about 8 episodes of a 74 episode show. The show Diverges HARD once the boys get to Dublith and meet Greed. I much prefer Brotherhood, as the added characters make the show sooo much better.
The OG FMA was made while the manga was still coming out, they caught up with the source material and went a different way with the story. Brotherhood is what the creator intended for the anime to be. I always recommend Brotherhood over og if someone has never seen FMA.
I usually recommend people watch 2003 FMA up until episode 9 or so, and then switch to Brotherhood once it reaches the divergence point. Brotherhood is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite shows of all time, I consider it a comfort show that I’ll occasionally rewatch because of how much I love it, but it DOES kind of rush through the early parts that were already done in order to get to the good stuff.
I watched the OG and brotherhood. Brotherhood is a different show completely. Not as ‘slice of life’ / chill as the OG, a lot more big plot turns though because its in step with the manga.
There’s enough extra content that it’s just as engaging to watch.
Ngl I’ve always hated that reasoning. It’s really inconsiderate to younger people. Sure, The Hobbit has been out for ages but somebody just turned thirteen yesterday and might have only just discovered it. I know I would’ve been upset if it was spoiled for me just because it came out before I was born.
Edit: You downvoters are pathetic tbh, it’s just a common courtesy that takes no effort. The speech equivalent to the shopping cart test. All you have to do, before saying the spoilers, is just to say “spoilers for example” and then you get to talk about whatever you want and not be a complete asshole to somebody who hasn’t been exposed to the same media as you. Be better.
So what, we can never talk about the ending of any story/movie/game because someone hasn’t been born yet?
Or just note that you’re about to talk about spoilers? Is that so hard?
Seriously, that’s all you do. Just say you’re about to mention spoilers and then talk about whatever you want. It’s just a common courtesy that takes no effort.
Technology gave us spoiler tags and unmarked spoiler warning on communication spaces. So, sure we could, if we wanted to --shrug
Would it be so hard to just say you’re about to mention spoilers and then talk about whatever you want? It’s just a common courtesy that takes no effort. We even have spoiler tags if you want to go the extra mile but that’s not even necessary. Just say “Spoilers for Example Property ahead” or something like that and then that’s it. You can talk about what you want and still be courteous to people who haven’t had the same media exposure as you.
Marcoh hid the formula for the philosopher’s stone within (very bad) recipe books so they wouldn’t be deciphered.
