Argh. I had a longer, fangirly post (because I got m'self FMA v9 this weekend), but it got munched by the Internet gods. In summary, somewhat out of order:
1. Roy with stubble is hahaha teh funneh. No, really. XD
2. The realization that you know, when the scans were floating around, I never actually DID read the chapter(s) that deal with Ed and Al finding out that thing. You know, in that whatever-chapter-it-was, with that person and the stuff. You know, the THING. The thing that FMA fans have the angst about. I think. XD
3. Gracia rocks something awesome. OMG, new fangirl respect♥
4. You know, Roy never did actually lie to Ed and Al. You know, about that THING. He used the same sort of colloquialism that got Greed and his gang confused. ("It was my brother, but ... he's gone." "... did I say something wrong? >_>" "Well, he's only a fourteen year old kid.")
5. Arakawa, your art makes me so happy. So happy. ♥
6. Can Envy transform himself into inanimate objects? I know the manga outright shows him changing himself into a dog, to try and escape N33NJY4, but I had the impression at one point that he'd transformed himself into one of the flags to keep tabs on Armstrong.
7. Speaking of Armstrong, woooow. That was SUCH a contrived excuse to get Ed to go with you, haha. XD
8. MARIA ROSS LOVE. Also, Havoc love. "OMG I HAVE A GIRLFRIEEEEEND."
9. I somehow get the feeling that Hawkeye's name really IS "Riza," and not "Liza." The entire conversation she's having with Roy is in code, with "Kate" = Kain Fury, and "Jacqueline" = Jean Havoc, which are sort of the same, but not, so ... eh. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but given how well Arakawa spells all other names (Armstrong is still "Alex Louis Armstrong," and not, like, "Alex Rui Armstrong"), I'm starting to think maybe it really is Riza. Eh, who knows?
10. Volume 10 has Havoc with the STABBITY STAB STAB. omg. I'm so looking forward to this♥♥♥♥
And now, back to working on my DP submission. Am I the only one who has a hard time balancing the necessary amount of exposition with the natural story flow? AUGH BALANCING ACT WAUGH.
