/r/FullmetalAlchemist.

We're amazing, go check it out.

[–]pokee2 35 points36 points ago

I feel like an idiot never bothering to look for such glorious subreddit.

[–]klexen 5 points6 points ago

I should have known there would be a sub for this! Thank you for pointing it out. This made my day!

[–]I_HaveAHat 3 points4 points ago

I bet you see this pic a lot over there huh?

[–]kokowam 1 point2 points ago

If you like Arakawa's art and ideas, check out "Silver Spoon" by him, too. It's a completely different genre, being slice of life, but it's good. :)

Annndddd subscribed! Thannnkks!

[–]skimmerbored[S] -1 points0 points ago

Thanks for the link, I've seen the original show and finishing Brotherhood now. Woah, I posted this last night and didn't realize it'd get this many upvotes, this was my first one ever to get so high. Did this make it to the front page?

[–]nd27359 2 points3 points ago

Damn you beat me to it, glad that someone posted it though :D

[–]thatguysammo 0 points1 point ago

o.o mind = blown

[–]jk2damax 38 points39 points ago

"its ok. it was my brothers arm and leg."

[–]Heavyrain63 21 points22 points ago

Yes but it was his entire body also

[–]Zahel 10 points11 points ago

His body wasn't for the armor though, the image still stands correct.

[–]AScholarlyGentleman 17 points18 points ago

The leg also wasn't for the armor, it was for the original transmutation of their mother.

[–]Heavyrain63 -1 points0 points ago

true

[–]Wallach96 0 points1 point ago

He's lucky he stands at all.

[–]repostception 1 point2 points ago

Correction Just Ed's arm was used to transmute his brothers soul to the armor.

His leg was taken the first time he tried to transmute his mother.

[–]Miarendon76 78 points79 points ago

Ed is short one arm and a leg.

[–]edoohan619 87 points88 points ago

WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT WHEN THEY SNEEZE THEY HIT THEIR HEAD ON THE FLOOR?

[–]Chachoregard 6 points7 points ago

Whoa whoa, you have such a short temper, guy.

(Frankly I thought that was the best part about Ed. Snapping that easily to height jokes)

[–]psychroclasm 0 points1 point ago

Eventually, it becomes a game to see how he overreacts.

"WHO YOU CALLIN' A BEAN-SPROUT MIDGET?!"

"Wait, what? Is that even something people say?

[–]antigravity21 7 points8 points ago

And it only cost him an arm. The leg was taken trying to resurrect their mother.

[–]mr_darwins_tortoise 2 points3 points ago

Too soon...

[–]Flinkelinks -1 points0 points ago

Someone deserves an upvote...

[–]coscinodiscus 37 points38 points ago

Major Alex Louis Armstrong: The Original Overly Manly Man

[–]AScholarlyGentleman 3 points4 points ago

I tried posting that in the high point of OMM but it got little love. Since then I have just assumed reddit didn't like FMA.

[–]Kairu927 4 points5 points ago

Reddit has a wonderful thing called subreddits. Try one that is particular to your interests than a very broad one.

[–]tailbonebruiser707 1 point2 points ago

But then you have Ron Swanson...

[–]dragoncore74 14 points15 points ago

This is a picture of both of them, bit the photographer underestimated eds shortness

[–]hastalapasta666 17 points18 points ago

Haha, just getting into FMA! I understood this reference.

[–]Edgar_A_Poe 4 points5 points ago

Internet High Five I just started it last night. 9 episodes in. Fucking love it.

[–]hastalapasta666 2 points3 points ago

Haven't been able to watch a lot lately, but the first episode was awesome. Can't wait to watch some more!

[–]JacobCurry 2 points3 points ago

Are you watching the first series or Brotherhood?

[–]hastalapasta666 3 points4 points ago

Brotherhood all the way... didn't like the idea of the first one.

[–]JacobCurry 1 point2 points ago

Good choice.

[–]prototato 0 points1 point ago

You guys read the manga? Really good.

[–]raltyinferno 1 point2 points ago

Are you watching the original or Brotherhood?

[–]Cloudfenrir94 10 points11 points ago

Best anime ever imo

[–]thomtinuviel 11 points12 points ago

So much love...but you'd do better in the fma subreddit, methinks.

[–]Kulotee 5 points6 points ago

methinks you are correct.

[–]AeroRandy 4 points5 points ago

They had the armor lying around the house, I'm pretty sure they already owned it.

[–]Duplicate_Pie 27 points28 points ago

That armor cost him his entire body + his brothers arm and leg....

[–]noneedforname 74 points75 points ago

Nah man! The armor fusion only cost his brother an arm. Alphonse's body and Edward's leg was the price for the first "transmutation" they did that night. :)

[–]DontThinkTooHard 4 points5 points ago

I thought it was the leg he gave up for the armor.

[–]alucard_3501 22 points23 points ago

Nope, leg was first. Ed gave his arm to attach his brother's soul to the armor.

[–]lurkallthethings 4 points5 points ago

He couldn't have given up his leg with one arm. :P

Well, I guess he could. But he didn't.

[–]antigravity21 0 points1 point ago

Oh that would have been terrible if they took his arm instead of the leg when they tried to resurrect mom. Ed wouldn't have been able to transmute to attach Al's soul to the armor. I think I remember something about it having to pretty immediate or the soul is lost.

[–]Thinks_Too_Logically 0 points1 point ago

Ed could have done it using only one arm: Ed didn't start clapping till later.

[–]BlazeLink257 0 points1 point ago

He still clapped before he touched the transmutation circle

[–]Duplicate_Pie 0 points1 point ago

While this is correct, it's just easier to say it the way I did. At least it was when it was really late last night.

[–]raltyinferno 0 points1 point ago

Nope, Alphonse's body was the price for Ed to see the truth, Ed's leg was the price to resurrect their mother, and Ed's arm was the price to get Al's soul back and affix it to the armor.

[–]ThrowAway233223 14 points15 points ago

Make sure you repost this in /r/anime. You are more likely to receive upvotes fir something like this there.

[–]kirun 12 points13 points ago

Image macros are banned there, so no.

[–]AutonomousRobot 4 points5 points ago

Too soon...

[–]shoulderkisser 5 points6 points ago

Even though I love FMA, I really hate "Any love for x?" posts. Of course there is going to be love for an anime, we are on the internet after all.

[–]verdictseven 4 points5 points ago

Your praise for his armor just seems so.... hollow.

[–]zinkc 4 points5 points ago

FMA:Brotherhood is the stuff. The original is pretty good as well.

[–]jpd118 0 points1 point ago

Come join us at r/fullmetalalchemist! :D

[–]NeVeNGamingYT 3 points4 points ago

If you put a / before the r you'll get a link: /r/fullmetalalchemist

[–]jpd118 4 points5 points ago

Does that work on mobile? I thought I tried it once and it didn't. /r/fullmetalalchemist Edit: so it does, thank you!

[–]HarveyBalls 0 points1 point ago

That is awesome and sad.

[–]vandalyzed 0 points1 point ago

Or a whole body

[–]kyz_xox 0 points1 point ago

Yes. This is an amazing picture. I love Fullmetal Alchemist!

[–]Andrewdecob -1 points0 points ago

Not to name drop or anything, but Aaron Dismuke and I have been best friends sense elementary school. He did the voice of the big metal guy.

[–]gabstergirl 0 points1 point ago

oh ed <3

[–]senefen 2 points3 points ago

Love for FMA, no love for 'cost an arm and a leg' joke that's been used countless times since the series began.

[–]whimsicalsteve 0 points1 point ago

Actually, Ed bringing back his mother from the dead cost him his brother's life and his own arm, bringing back his recently deceased brother cost him the leg ... they already owned the armor.

[–]ide_cdrom 2 points3 points ago

Such a great show.

[–]i_demand_cats 2 points3 points ago

I laughed way too hard at this

[–]Dragneel 1 point2 points ago

Well, Al did put his heart and soul in it.

[–]psychoticapes 0 points1 point ago

Well, Ed actually put Al's soul into it.

[–]dinserdinser -1 points0 points ago

This isn't topical at all right now, but I sure love me some FMA. An upvote for you, good sir/ma'am.

[–]zimisme -1 points0 points ago

Aha, aha!

[–]Sleepy_One 1 point2 points ago

/r/anime has a hardon for FMA.

[–]freindo 1 point2 points ago

Fun Fact! This term comes from the days when people would have portraits made. The bust portrait was the bare minimum. If you wanted arms and legs included in the picture the price went up dramatically.

[–]master_greg 4 points5 points ago

[–]Rhys13th 1 point2 points ago

Equivalent Exchange man. Equivalent exchange. I just finished FMA: Brotherhood, the ending was kinda anticlimatic :/

[–]cooly_air 0 points1 point ago

...im pretty sure i already posted this

[–]abridged64 0 points1 point ago

Oh god...

[–]redpandapaw 0 points1 point ago

That is terrible.

I love it.

[–]keithtalent 1 point2 points ago

FINALLY. I knew there was a fucking pun in there somewhere.

[–]ems187 0 points1 point ago

Totally not into animé here, but I watched the fuck out of both FMA series.

EDUARDO ELRICO!

[–]Misao_ai 1 point2 points ago

This. This is just...I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH.

[–]SoproSax7 0 points1 point ago

Best fucking show ever

[–]HoinhimeOfLight 0 points1 point ago

I don't know there might be ^

[–]Theotech 1 point2 points ago

One of my most favorite animes of all time... FMA Brotherhood <3

[–]S_Dev 1 point2 points ago

I don't normally cry, but when I do, it's because of Fullmetal Alchemist.

[–]Randompaul 0 points1 point ago

The first 10 minutes had me hooked.

[–]Griffinheart 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure no one on Reddit likes one of the most popular animes out there. Pretty sure.

[–]idiotontheinternet 0 points1 point ago

I dunno. I guess it was meant for kids? Because compared to pretty much any other anime I have seen it was pretty juvenile. Maybe it got better, but I didn't watch past the second episode.

[–]tanshu 1 point2 points ago

I would give it 10 up votes if I could. One of the very best manga series ... not anime ... never anime ...

[–]night-owl13 0 points1 point ago

I love Manga/anime!!!!

[–]RedWingz5 1 point2 points ago

This message was approved by the A New Body for Alphonse Foundation.

[–]MorleyInsane -1 points0 points ago

repost...

[–]fullmetal30 0 points1 point ago

My favorite. I wish they start churning out some fill in episodes.

[–]Swedish_chocolate 0 points1 point ago

While I'm a fan of Fullmetal I wanted to say your title sounded like something out of r/gonewild.....I was momentarily concerned.

[–]corennf 1 point2 points ago

I just finished watching brotherhood and this made me so happy :D Thanks!

[–]farkanoid 0 points1 point ago

I've waited so long to use the phrase "Fail Metal Alchemist" to describe a bad episode, but they were all so damn good!

[–]duckdodgerz 0 points1 point ago

Nice...nice...

[–]M1RSH3 1 point2 points ago

Watching FMA:Brotherhood right now, actually :)

[–]crunchenticker -1 points0 points ago

nah, it didn't capture my attention and i just couldn't get into the show or the manga so i skipped it.

[–]hippyman933 1 point2 points ago

I have all the love for fullmetal on Reddit!

[–]The_Wisest_of_Fools 1 point2 points ago

I was watching this on hulu for a while and really enjoying it. I was up to episode 24 then they removed every episode except the first four! Where else can I watch it?

[–]SquareWatermelon 0 points1 point ago

Netflix is where I watch it, they have the first series and brotherhood too.

[–]The_Wisest_of_Fools 0 points1 point ago

Is there anywhere online? I don't have acces to Netflix.

[–]LLv2 0 points1 point ago

There is love for everything on Reddit.

[–]Undeadsjoker579 0 points1 point ago

or maybe your whole life but not your soul?

[–]HannahDanielle 1 point2 points ago

FMA was my crack when I first saw both series.

[–]DamianTD 0 points1 point ago

Pretty much one of my most favorite anime ever. Great story, characters and questions of humanity. I also like the fact it isn't about the supernatural and doesn't have machines and a lot of guns. Also not sure why so much anime is female driven, I get so annoyed with the way Japan over sexualizes women in Anime, especially teen girls. I get ghost in the shell, it's not a human body. Still think boobs would get in the way of shooting though, and serve no purpose for her.

[–]VanessaSoIll 0 points1 point ago

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahhahhaaaaa

I love this so much!

[–]yeathl 0 points1 point ago

[–]propylene22 -1 points0 points ago

This show is endemic of the trend of anime with content for children rather than adults.

[–]TehPandaPatrol 1 point2 points ago

There is much love for Fullmetal Alchemist. It makes me really happy to see this on r/funny

[–]SgtPingwen 1 point2 points ago

Um, yes. Not really huge on anime, but FMA is amazing.

[–]SgtPingwen 0 points1 point ago

Maes! NOOOOO!

[–]Chrs987 1 point2 points ago

I LOVE THIS MEME AND THIS SHOW AMAZING YES!!!!!!!

[–]sarahc1990 0 points1 point ago

first anime I ever watched from start to finish.... then came the addiction !!

[–]Fulmetalmaster 0 points1 point ago

Wait a sec let me look at my username. Yes, yes there is.

[–]ghetto_flab_tastic 0 points1 point ago

This show is the greatest

[–]vladtodlover 0 points1 point ago

awesome pun :)

[–]Eerthem 0 points1 point ago

This is just aweosme

[–]Loulwa 1 point2 points ago

This show is AMAZING. FMA fundamentally defined my views on morality and friendship.

[–]Lady_Hawke 0 points1 point ago

much love from a Riza Hawkeye fan!

[–]alastor136 -2 points-1 points ago

heh

[–]MagnusTheGreat -1 points0 points ago

It actually cost Alphonso his body and his brother Edward, his arm and leg.

[–]Pets1989 1 point2 points ago

One of the most captivating anime to date.

[–]Anaract -1 points0 points ago

it also cost him the other arm and leg and torso and head and rest of body

[–]Cameron521 -1 points0 points ago

I love FMA!!

[–]Keane1522 -2 points-1 points ago

More like and ArmOr a leg..

[–]RzK -2 points-1 points ago

No, every single person hates it.. we are all bias towards hating it and practice the art of hating it more than anything in the world because we are all the same, we are one single unit of hatred designed specifically for hating Fullmetal Alchemist

[–]Kulhu -3 points-2 points ago

No, not really.

[–]o0FancyPants0o -5 points-4 points ago

nope.

[–]lwaugh11 0 points1 point ago

That's awesome! Yes, LOVE Fullmetal Alchemist. I was a bit skeptical about animes until I watched this and Trigun.

[–]psychoticapes 0 points1 point ago

What about Cowboy Bebop, or Gantz? Also, it's cool to see that somebody else likes Trigun.

[–]Simi566 0 points1 point ago

Oh my god this is awesome xD

[–]FullMetalCow -1 points0 points ago

I bet you couldn't tell, but I am a fan.

Really dig their soundtrack!
