a FullMetal Heart.......

" A lesson without pain is meaningless,

For you cannot gain something without sacrificing something else in return;
But once you have overcome it and made it your own,
You will gain an irreplaceable FullMetal heart."

This is what was written on the final pages of the ever awesome manga, FullMetal Alchemist.
Yes, it has finally come to an end....After 9 years and 108 chapters, one of the best manga ever in history has finally finished.


I'll call the manga's ending "brotherhood version"
It was somewhat bittersweet for me though after reading the final chapters. Both endings (the first anime and brotherhood) had Edward sacrificing something for his brother's happiness.
First anime was Edward transmuting himself as an exchange for his brother.In Brotherhood, Edward sacrificed his knowledge of alchemy, the gate of truth for his brother's body.

Somehow, i kinda prefer the ending in Brotherhood. Yeah, well...i mean, after all those struggles, i kinda want those characters in brotherhood to end up happily ever after..(although i'm a sucker for sad and tragic ends, i don't want these characters to suffer...LOL)

ok, back to bittersweet....
Yeah, the awesome series ended.....kinda happy that i don't have to crave over the chapters every month now...but it kinda kills the excitement i look forward to every month...ironic much...
the anime will end in another 1 to 2 episodes time ( i believe episode 63 or so......or was it 62? hmmm....) and that's the wrap up of this series..

all i could say is...
THANK YOU SO MUCH ARAKAWA SENSEI...!!! *bows*
ok, now.....
*goes back to studying Roy Mustang......and completing the accesories of his cosplay*
LOL....

It ENDED..T^T
