Reading this last story is absolute agony. I don’t mean that in a bad way, since I’m completely addicted to everything that’s going on, I’m flying through the pages, and I wouldn’t miss any of it for the world. It’s more because I know what I would like to happen. I want to see Ed and Al get their bodies back. I want to see Roy succeed. I want to see Ed and Al walk away with Hohenheim and go back to Winry. I want to see Wrath and his little son Pride go down in a horrible way, along with Kimblee. And I want to see what that gigantic alchemy circle is for (not that I don’t already know).
But before I get to see all that, I have to watch all the preliminary fighting. Those parts are still good. Quite good, in fact. There’s a great scene where Hohenheim and Al outsmart Pride, and then later, Pride outsmarts them back. Lady Armstrong pulls a nice ace out of her sleeve, and the fighting gets underway in Central City, and I loved watching Roy’s army outsmart everyone they were fighting against a bit further away from headquarters.
All that stuff is great. But man, I know there’s at least two or three volumes of this awesome stuff before I get to the parts I really, really want to see. Nothing wrong with that, since ignoring all the exposition would break the story. Still. Curse you, Fullmetal Alchemist, for being so awesome that you make me impatient.
