FMA Manga

[ladybug_archive]

I love the manga so far, but the anime definitely improved on the train incident. Hughes wasn't in that in the manga. ;__; **sniffle.** He was one of the best things about the episode. XD

Also, I don't know how accurate the translation was, but I winced at that guy using such colorful language. **smile.** And they didn't even have the part where he was telling Ed that they were alike because of their limbs. I love that part!

I did end up ordering the Saiyuki movie. **nod.** It should get here next week sometime. ^^

And I dearly do love Alexander. XD **pats him.** So cute.

**ponders.** I think in general, I like developing OCs better in RPs than in stories. OCs are generally only cared about by a handful of people, and in an RP they are generally among those who've seen them develope and who care about them, but put them in a story and it's hard to capture the same magic for lots of people. XD; I think that's why I'm having such trouble with Phantom of the Theatre. I know that people just won't care about Runihura's story the way Aubrie and I do.

I love OCs in anything, if they are done well. Like any canon character, they have to be well crafted. In essence, it is not the character but the writer. I remember writing a REALLY long guide to writing a YGO OC once. It included romance (ha ha) and everything. I was gonna post it in my journal but my friend said her bro deleted it off her janime account and that was the only copy >

Blah, too bad it got deleted. It sounds like it was interesting. XD

Yeah, a good OC is a tricky thing to accomplish. I hate it when any OC suddenly takes the spotlight and the canon characters are all pushed to the side, though. There must be a balance.
