This is Romi Park, voice of Edward Elric. She often represents Arakawa at events.
This is also Romi Park.
This is Haruka Kudo, member of the long-running idol group Morning Musume, and fan of Silver Spoon. (Also, Kudo is 16 and Arakawa is 43.)
Hiromu Arakawa is known for not revealing her face to the public. If you see a photo that’s supposedly of her, it’s probably Romi Park or someone else who isn’t Arakawa. Please stop posting photos saying “This is the real Hiromu Arakawa gaiz!!1!1!” when they aren’t.
okay BUT, this one is DEFINATELY the real Arakawa gaiz
Don’t join the FMA fandom if you can’t handle the discourse
Ok, I just started FMA a few weeks ago with my husband (who has seen it already and thought I’d enjoy it) and this is LITERALLY THE FIRST THING I BROUGHT UP LIKE WHYYYYYY
Roy’s really good at acting. Roy’s also decided that the general mask he wants to put on around people is “cool, stoic, composed, selfish leader” so they don’t go assuming too many things about his real ideations. Since he’s a good actor, he’s real good at putting on this front.
Off to incinerate Maria Ross? Cooler than ice. Facing confrontation about his role in her murder? Ruthlessly chill. Associating with (well anyone really) when other military personnel might be watching? Thermometer’s reading absolute zero.
But of course the keyword to all this is acting. He’s really talented at acting cool, not to be confused with “He is actually cool”.Because whenever he’s not putting on a performance for someone, his whole personality is pretty well summed up as “high-pitched indignant yelling”
look… you can make fun of anime straight to my face and i will either blink and go on with my life or even agree with you… but you can’t mock fullmetal alchemist… fullmetal alchemist isn’t just an anime it’s a lifechanger
Literally no anime death will be dirtier than the death of Maes Hughes
Like, you set up this guy to be the comic relief–FIRST OFF, that is DIRTY as hell. You don’t KILL the comic relief, THE comic relief is supposed to LIVE (or die a very tragic death)
They set up Maes Hughes to be this family man AGAIN, DIRTY. AS. HELL.
It’s just as bad as that “2 days from retirement” bullshit except WE ACTUALLY SEE HIM doting about his family EVERY SINGLE CHANCE–
EVERY SINGLE CHANCE HE GETS HE TALKS ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL HIS FAMILY IS.
THE LAST THING HE SEES BEFORE HE DIES IS HIS WIFE’S FACE. WHAT THE FUCK. THAT IS SO BAD, LIKE WHY. WHY THE FUCK. FCKUING THAT IS SO DIRTY. LIKE LIKE–
AND THEN! AND THENNNNNN! NOT 5 MINUTES AFTER HIS DEATH
THEY BURY THE FUCKER
THEY BURY MAES HUGHES BECAUSE HE IS DEAD AND HE DIED AND HE IS no longer LIVING
AND the final NAIL on the coffin, HA-AHAHA_HAHAHA…………
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HIs daughter is AT the funeral. AND SHE’S LIKE
WHY ARE THEY BURYING DADDY MOM
HE WONT BE ABLE TO DO ANY OF HIS WORK IF HES UNDERGROUND
FUCK THIS SHOW
FUCK IT
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF UCK IT
Yeah, this pretty much fucking sums it up
Might I add that you can experience this pain through the manga AND both anime adaptations
