Day 2 of TMayNT: Favorite April

Again. Picking ONE April out of all April’s is so hard because I love all of them for different reasons. But! 03 April will always own my heart because I adore her relationship with the turtles. She is both their older sister and begrudging mother lmao. One of my favorite lines is her going, “I feel like I became a mother of four overnight” and Splinter responds, “Tell me about it.” Still cracks me up.

They're basically the same person

Ever get so frustrated/overwhelmed/tired that your greatest wish is to flop, face first, onto the floor and just stay there?

Yeah, that.

Handing out a pamphlet to any mangahood fans giving the 2003 anime a shot:

Ed and Al (and Hohenheim) are not Xerxian. In fact there is no Xerxes. Don't interpret these characters through that lens. Similarly, Xing has no relevance here (it's a single line in a discussion of Amestrian geopolitics, and that's it)

Ed does not metaphysically supply Al's body with energy and nutrients. That's not how the Gate works here

Alchemy itself is handled differently from the manga and Brotherhood

This version of the story will not coddle or spoonfeed you. You will have to deal with complex themes and upsetting scenes, and you will have to pay attention to what's going on in order to understand and interpret the story and characters

In fact, if you're so inclined, repeat watches will absolutely reveal new layers to the pathos, mysteries, and themes presented, and answer questions you will still have after your first watch

I am begging you not to take everything at face value. The characters are not treated as infallible encyclopedias nor are they dispensers of morality lessons. They are treated like people. In that they are flawed, they are not omniscient therefore they do not have Complete Objective Knowledge over their own lives and the world, and the world/other characters will contradict and challenge them regularly

To put a finer point on the above: Don't take Ed and Al's perspectives as gospel. They are not the arbiters of righteousness who shine the light of Goodness and Reason onto the rest of the cast, they are orphaned teens scraping by in world that, by its nature, looms larger than themselves

Romance is not a big element here. You will not be eating well from the Edwin and Royai troughs this go-around

In mangahood Scar was right in killing state alchemists, but prepare yourself for: Scar was right in killing state alchemists, AND he never relents in being anti-military, AND he escalates that fight to magnificent proportions. Your fears about the "scary racialized radical who doesn't reform to your side nor assuages your guilt for the gains of imperialism you enjoy" are made real in 03

No doubt you've already heard that homunculi work differently in the 2003 anime. But to emphasize one of those major differences: the homunculi are not split aspects of one guy. They are all separate, unrelated, individuals

The characters shared between mangahood and the 2003 anime are, ultimately, not the same characters. Character design and some basal core traits link them to the manga, but their backstories, choices, character growth, and even their perspectives end up completely different from the source material

flirting

-

they both like to intentionally pester each other but they don’t realize they’re flirting. Dick knows she hates cheesy pick up lines and will give her the corniest ones he can think of just to see her reaction. Rae likes to rile him up over something silly when she can tell he’s overwhelmed because getting him to start ranting over something stupid will get him to blow off steam and relax a little.

when they’re actually trying to flirt Dick gets nervous and suddenly forgets every word in every language he knows just trying to compliment her. Raven will look completely indifferent and then say something unprompted and suddenly Dick is a flustered mess.
