What webcomics have you been reading lately?
So Many. Rn I’ve been reading “I raised my fiancé with money”, “the red nights at the dukes castle” <- that’s a lie I haven’t read that one in a bit but I need to resume reading it, “revenge on the real one”, “marriage B: wed to the enemy” (I’m reading this one rn, I’ve started over from the beginning because it’s been a bit), “ashtarte”, “how to survive as a maid in a horror game”, “the archdukes gorgeous wedding was a fraud” and literally a bunch more but I don’t think I should list them all as I’m always reading multiple at a time! (I am behind or just starting on a few of these) I’m a big fan of fantasy webcomics, especially isekai or regression ones (I love revenge stories I love seeing bad bitches get revenge) I DONT however like when character forgive people who have wronged them (or the person who’s life is now theirs) and possessive leads :) I have so many webcomic thoughts that I mostly subject my roommate to hearing because they also read webcomics lmao. Sorry this is such a long answer I loved webcomics sooo much

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 1 Liveblog
Start!
Oh, yeah, I think I’ve already seen the… first half of the first ep? I definitely remember this city and the ensuing chase scene.
Ayyy, Roy, my guy. There you are.
“Fuhrer”? So this is based on Germany? Huh. Neat.
Ayyy, Ed, my guy.            
EDUARUDO ERURIKO
Jesus christ Alfonse, your voice does not fit your design. Although I guess that’s the point.
               >using guns in a fantasy setting
You guys deserved to die/be incapacitated. Also, cool arm-thing, ice dude.
Ok THAT guy is definitely dead. Holy shit. Ice can be a pretty fucking scary power in less Y/PG settings.
Aaand dead as well. Huh, so he can also affect boiling.
Hello, exposition. Nice to see you there.
OOOOOH, so Ed can manipulate the shape/form of metal! That’s cool!
Ok, so you need a transmutation circle (probably that drawing in ice guy’s arm thing) to do alchemy, unless you’re uber-cool, like the protagonists and intermediate/major villains.
Oh hell yes prosthetics. They’re also called “Automail” apparently.
Aaaand title drop! Awesome.
And here’s the “IM THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST AND NO I’M NOT SHORT FUCK YOU” running gag. I hope it doesn’t get grating after a while.
Damn bro that was slick
So Ed is a bit of the “arrogant badass”. Interesting choice for a shonen-ish protagonist.
“the war”
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Yeah, there’s the “fixing your body” thing.
HELLO NEW MAN HOW AR-wait
Fuck
I think this is the guy that is killed by his possessed wife. I recognize his glasses.
Well then, another situation where I have been spoiled on a character’s death from the beginning. Shit.
And, again, the guy confuses Al with Ed. Running gag secured.
Hughes! Ok.
ooooooooh noooooooooooooooooo the pictureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Rip Hughes. I barely know you.
Please let at least the daughter be ok. Please. p l e a s e
do not angery the Ed
It’s in moments like this i wish i could have images in my posts. lmao
Wow subs, you didn’t even bother translating “itadakimasu”? I fear I may have gotten weeb fansubs. Welpsies.
 And they’re trying to cover for Al, to not let people know he doesn’t really have a body anymore. I wonder why. Is it a weakness somehow?
That guard doesn’t look fine. Is the poor man dead
Well hello there Crimson, nice to meet another villain
Kimblee! I feel like I’ve read that name before. Hm.
Huh, so these villains want to overthrow the Fuhrer’s militaristic rule. A good cause to have your villains fight for, honestly. Makes it easier to sympathize w/ them.
Yep, the guard is dead. Rip.
my heart
al u nugget
Bradley. Is that the fuhrer? I forgot his name.
AND HERE HE IS. THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND, ARMSTRONG.
wat
flying armstrong heads
k
bros to the rescue
oh hey, fire and ice. good shit.
DENIED
we summoning satan now boys
oh shit philosopher’s stone LET’S GO BOYS
Although this is the first episode still, so yeah, either it isn’t the Stone of they lose it.
Again with the “you don’t know what this country is doing!” shit. I’m really curious. Is it going to be something generic, or genuinely awesome?
Good lord Isaac, mind the collateral damage.
And here’s what i thought was gonna happen. The city being a perfect circle was way too conspicuous. I didn’t think it was gonna be an ep 1 deal though.
Wait, King Bradley? Wasn’t he Fuhrer Bradley? Is he King Bradley, the Fuhrer? Wow.
Oh, so Al can use metalchemy too! Cool! We had only seen fight CQC so far so i wondered if he even could do it.
And here is the “im an armor my guy lel” reveal. I wonder what they’ll do with this plot point.
And here is the backstory. I sadly already know all this from browsing and hearing anime stuff for years so none of this is new, but it’s still very fucking cool. I wonder why it was so... uneven, though. Why did Ed, the one who actually did the alchemy, only lose two limbs, while Al lost his whole body? Question, questions, questions.
Isaac, you’re fucked.
TUMBLING DOWN, TUMBLING DOWN, TUMBLING DOWN,
OH MY FUCKING GOD WERE THOSE BLOOD SPEARS???? JESUS SHITTING CHRIST
Good god Ed are you okay, that looked like it went very deep.
Guys, you’re mooks in an action anime. You’re virtually useless.
See, that’s what you should do. Wait for a main character to show up and fix shit/make it worse.
Roy: The weather... My only weakness...
Well hello there sudden color pallete and atmosphere change. We’re going horror/thriller now? Ok.
You aggro’d the boss. You’re fucked.
Yep, roflstomped.
Huh, the blood is now gray, but this little orb is the red thing now... Is this the philosopher’s stone?
And it just... evaporated. What the fuck was that? His essence? His soul?
ARMSTRONG WAS LOSING THE SHIRT REALLY NECESSARY
And that guy i forgot to comment on again. Who is this man?
Fuhrer President King Bradley. I’m done.
“A helping hand” buddy you’d have killed him easily even without Ed’s help.
Hughes you beautiful man
“A” philosopher’s stone? There’s more than one?
And here’s the Armstrong i know. Overly Flamboyant Manly Man.
YAMEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why hello there villain lady. What’s your deal?
“Oh, so he used it all up.” So that red orb *was* the stone! He just overused it and it “died” simultaneously as he did.
Oh, so these are the sin characters. Gluttony, and i’m willing to bet the woman is Lust based on her design.
“It” will begin? What will?
And episode 2 will be a backstory episode! I’ll probably have less to talk about there because i already know mostly everything (i think) so i might squeeze it in later today.
And that was the first episode! I can definitely see the foundations of a great series. Although it hasn’t yet hit me with the “best anime of all time” a lot of people seem to give. But, HxH also didn’t until late Chimera Ants arc, so i’ll give this some time. I rate Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, episode 1, an 8/10!
I’ll be hanging out over at Zephyr’s discord until i start episode 2, so see you there if you’re there! And if you’re not, what are you doing with your life?
