fullmetal alchemist took over my life

what if in full metal alchemist instead of putting the little brother in a robot they put him into a plate of noodles and they called him alfredo just to be a dick and everynight he cried into his fettucine whispering “my name is alphonse" 

what kind of fuckin cues did they give to the voice actor who was tasked with saying “Fullmetal Alchemist” a couple thousand times? bc like it varies based on the context, were they just like “ok now we want you to say it as if it means ‘your entire family was just killed and your town was burned.’ Ok that was great, now say it as though it means ‘i was the only one who bet on the right horse at the Kentucky Derby’”

Yknow we praise FMA a lot, and rightfully so, but I think we sometimes overlook Arakawa's simple yet powerful artistic flex of making her deuteragonist an insanly detailed suit of armor. She committed herself to drawing that suit over and over and over again and goddamn if she didn't nail it

I know right?! Not only did she have to draw his armor numerous times, but with the use of the right context, words, lighting, and shading she was able to create a suit of armor into the most expressive body even with its lack of ability to emote like a human. It’s really impressive and we got to give Arakawa so much credit for this!
