Fullmetal Alchemist 8

I actually wound up liking this volume a lot.  So the evil characters are named after the seven deadly sins.  But where’s Pride?  Maybe he’ll come in later.

I didn’t actually like the way Greed was handled.  He is what he is, and it seems strange that those characters didn’t grasp that.  But woah, Wrath threw us a curveball.  I kinda don’t like where that’s going, but it makes for some pretty exciting manga.  I’m excited to see what happens now, especially since it doesn’t seem to be dragging its feet like in the beginning and Al getting his body back is a distinct possibility.

There were some pretty awesome fight scenes in this volume.  Mostly they were the fight scenes involving Greed, but there were others too.  Most certainly none of the ones that concerned the travelers from the other country.  I HATED that new characters like that were introduced so late in the game.  It’ll be cool if Ed and Al get to master this other form of alchemy, but I hate the character that seems to have latched onto them.  What a creep.

I’ll probably wind up finishing this series in one go without reading anything else between volumes, I can’t stop myself and I might as well run with it.  So sorry for the big slug of Fullmetal Alchemist entries.

    So I finally got into reading Fullmetal… ^_^ What can I say, it’s great, just as addictive as the best shonen series like Naruto, One Piec or Bleach… and I’m glad I bought 15 volumes so far… I’m afraid I will be buying more soon… ^_^

    I wasn’t an instant fan of Fullmetal Alchemist, but man, once you get going, it is impossible not to tear through all the volumes. It’s one of the few that made me completely revise my early opinions, and I do love how well it’s plotted out. It’s slowing down a little bit where I’m at right now, but I’m still desperately waiting for every new volume. I’m hoping the release will start to pick up a little now that it’s finished in Japan, we’ve only got a few volumes left in English, I think.
