yea, interesting past. want to see how Scar killed the Rockbell's

the WORLD.
Dunno. Can someone give me a summary of it? I don't have the time to read it right now. >.>
Basically it shows what the military did in Ishbal. Marcoh and some other scientists transmuted some former Ishbalan soldiers (discharged when the annihilation campaign began) into a Philosopher's Stone. When some Ishbalan civilians were trying to escape they were allowed to leave by Armstrong, only to be blown up by Kimbley. And Roy and Maes discussed how they didn't expect "this sort of thing" when they were in training.
Ah yes, and Hawkeye, the daughter of Mustang's alchemy teacher, is a sniper and saves Mustang and Hughes from a random Ishbalan.

Kez said:Right, I have only read a chapter or so of this, and I have been watching the anime. How close are they to each other? if at all because the anime has finished but the manga is still going.
The anime and the manga went two completely different directions just like Trigun did. The manga has mcuh deeper and suspenseful story and more new characters. Vol 6 I believe is when it starts to diversed from one another.

I haven't heard about it in the UK but I can look into that, Kez. ^^
I have two issues of the manga, but I haven't read much of it at all. The anime is great and that's what I've seen all the way through.

Plus, I think we'll get at least (somewhat) of a bit happier ending. xD
Kez said:Cool. So it is like getting 2 different versions of a similar story? Well, I think that the anime is great. I have yet to read the manga.
Doies anyone know if there are plans for it to be published in the UK? I really want to read it.
Just order them online from the US. ;o
Hm, I should really read the manga. I've read only the first few volumes, and it seemed pretty similar to the anime, but now that TSC said they become different stories, I need to read more of the manga. D:

Well yea, I mean the manga is still continueing right now so yea its gets different.
The whole Homoculus deal is way different from the anime perpective, especially Envy's transformation.
To Kez: Well so far I believe 14 volumes are out in Japan, and the latest chapter is 58.

I like Ling and Ran Fan in the manga. they are just so funny. but there are major differences, like how the homunculi were created and so on, and even their bosses.
if you are interested, i have a site that has chapters 1-58 so far loaded.
go to Readmanga.com
I've read most of it there, but i still buy the volumes

Yeah, I'm hoping for the manga to have a happier ending then the anime. Oo;;; I'm REALLY hoping.
Yeah, I've read the latest chapters off the manga. I'm going to run off now. ^^;; *walks away before he starts posting too much FMA information. XD*

for the majority: yes. Mainly cause the manga is the original source and able to play out many things the author wants. Where anime, the have restrictions and setups the have to follow. Time is also another issue for animation.
there are rare exception where anime is better than manga.
Can't believe that I haven't posted in this new thread yet... Anyway, expect for the newest chapter to be out in less than a week. I'm looking forward to it.
When it comes to adaptions of manga to anime, yes, for about ninety-nine percent of them out there.
Elfen Lied had a manga to anime adaption where it went from fan service, awful art, and bad characters to a great deal less of fan service, simplistic but very refined animation, and understandable, sympathetic characters (although there were some moments where the reactions were... not believable). Though, the plot seems more focused in the manga than the anime, but that's probably just because of length.
It all essentially comes down to adaptions. Berserk is better in the manga simply because it explains more, it doesn't cut out characters and plots, it has more material, and simply because while the animation was rather muggy at times in the anime, Miura's art work is some of the best that you can find in a manga series. Same way with Trigun/Trigun Maximum. Then, you have original anime series like FLCL, Vision of Escaflwone, and Neon Genesis Evangelion where they are essentially adapted to manga form, and they're complete crap.
(Yes, TSC, I will never stop b*tching about what Sadamoto did to the characters in his adaption of Anno's work. Realize that. ;D)
