as per usual when i am extremely overworked and pulled so many all nighters in a row that i no longer wish to exist i want to roast something. today i will roast one of the most hyped mainstream shounen battles of all time, FMA in da hood straight outta compton.

my thoughts overall can be expressed shortly as: entertaining enough that i didn't start spacing out and daydreaming for 5 minutes before realizing that i have to rewind.

i kind of want to compare it to d.gray man. i'd like to think this is what d.gray man would have looked like if the author actually used the ideas and setting in an interesting way instead of making it into a one pattern snorefest.

so it is about two brothers who do alchemy. their mom dies, they try to revive her and end up losing bodyparts/whole body. they then start working for the corrupt military, responsible for some genocidal war, and it turns out the ones pulling all the strings in these wars are artificial humans, called homosexomonculus or something, and of which the original homo-thing was created from, we don't get to know, only that van homoheim added his blood to it. the original homonculous has very vague, if any at all, motives for his creating of philosophers stones by destroying nations. as far as i know none of this is explained and it is thus hard to take seriously, he only blabbers on about "oh silly humans how pitiful they are blablabla insert generic grumpy old man muttering".

give him some warm milk and an alt-right newspaper subscription and send the bastard to the retirement home i say.

if your mind isn't boggled by above it is pretty great. well structured, the pacing is top notch. quality entertainment

TL;DR artificial human/homo-thing wants to destroy/consume god by gathering philosophers stones by destroying nations and killing all of its inhabitants, for reasons unknown.
