Yesterday didn't really treat me that well as far as being able to watch episode 51. I intended to watch it during my break between classes, but then I realized I still had reading to do before the class after that break, so... I sacrificed. Then I had intended to watch it after my afternoon class, but when I got home my sister was watching TV.
I refuse to watch on the computer with the TV on behind me. Not the last episode of FMA. No way.
Anyway, though, the TV was on from that point until I gave up and went to bed. But I did manage to get some of my homework for this week done. I have most of my program finished and my paper nice and outlined.
Excellent.
But, since I was thwarted yesterday, I made it a point to watch the episode first thing this morning. So now I have seen it.
First thing I want to say is that I wasn't quite sure what to think after seeing it. I wasn't disappointed. I wasn't squeeing with glee. I was... thoughtful, really. It was an interesting ending.
Not bad... Not AWESOME, but not bad.
Restored Al makes it all good. Al is restored! I can die happy. Well... hopefully not... But we have a restored Al, and I am pleased with this. Even if he is still ten years old. I didn't really see a way around that, though, honestly... Unless his body aged while it was behind the gate. Which wouldn't really make sense.
The fact that he has no memory of the four years he was in a suit of armor is interesting. Although it makes *him* generally happier, I'll bet. No period of adjustment and everything. Ooh... yay! I'm so happy for Al! I didn't think he'd get restored at all.
One thing that was REALLY awesome: Dante's fate. YES. Gluttony EATS her! HAH! Take that, bitch! That was the greatest. I would love this episode JUST for that scene. I'm still cackling with glee over it.
Envy's fate was kinda... meh. I hope he suffered. That's all I'll say.
The fact that Wrath is still around ANNOYS THE HELL out of me! He should've died, damnitall! But, given that he was the only one on my list who *didn't* die... I guess I can't complain. Bah.
The Roy/Riza shipping was kind of lame. I'm kind of indifferent to that pairing, although I figured if they made any pairing canon, it'd be that one. But isn't he still a big womanizer? He suddenly changes... wtf? Or maybe she's just taking care of him. Whatever. I just hope he's in the movie, even though it seems he's a regular person now instead of a military man.
The thing with London was... interesting. That's the part I'm not sure how I feel about. Ed and his daddy, studying side by side... Well, until he leaves to meet Dracula. I'm guessing Ed will find a way to get back to the world of his birth, if only because the movie would be pretty boring if he didn't.
Question: does Ed still have his auto-mail? Or was that just a tricky little thing they did at the ending?
All in all, though, pretty good. I'm satisfied. They haven't wrecked the series. So it's all good.
