8) I personally watched the anime first and then read the manga. Several watchings and readings later, I find that I much prefer the manga, but only for a few reasons:
- Dante was a worthless villain. Father is also pretty worthless, but at least he has the potential to not suck?
- Better character development (or at least more in-depth) in the manga, especially for anyone not named Ed or Al.
- But most importantly...you have no idea how much I rofl'd when I learned that the other side of the Gate in the anime was our world. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Way to dial up the camp, Bones. And CoS, too. Nazis? Nukes? Ed got caught up in the Munich Beer Hall Putsch? JORU*(#F*(EJ#(* You've got to be fucking kidding me. Even for a series about genius teenage alchemists, I couldn't get my mind to wrap around that. I thought the entire premise was fucking stupid, and I still do.

But hey, that's my own opinion, and you've got yours. Rock on.

(P.S. The FMA anime and FMA manga stories are so incredibly different that I almost find them incapable of being compared. The fandom-wide wankery is rather stupid, I agree. Live and let live.)

29) I hate Misa not because of shallow character development. No, her character was one of the best-developed in the story. And I don't hate her because she's a girl. I hate her because I find the worst traits of humanity in her.

- Sociopath? Check.
- Absolutely blind to everything except a very disturbing, unquestioned loyalty to Light? Check.
- Either blindness or implicit acceptance to being used for her skills (i.e. Shinigami eyes because Light was too fucking chicken to sacrifice half his own lifespan), as well as (likely) physically (come on, Light's got to have fucked her at least once in the 3 years they've lived together)? Check.
- Believes in the righteousness of retributive justice? Check.
- Believes in a draconian interpretation of an eye for an eye? Check.
- Believes that it's better to punish the innocent than let a few guilty people walk free? Check.

Seriously. She's fucking creepy. Yes, even creepier than pre-Near Light.

thank you. Misa is SCARY. Yeah, feminist rants could apply. But the main thing is is that she is a terrifing piece of work. gah.

Agreed.

Just as I agreed with all their points about the manga, I agree with your's about the anime.
I love them both, but they both have their flaws as with everything.


Dante, and all of her ties to everyone else.
and since I spend a lot of time rewatching the series, we sort of... ignore the last disc, altogether. It's like up until episode 48 was the series, and 49-51 was just a plot device for the movie to make more sense with less explaining. (even though it still doesn't.)

29 OP

You have a legitimate reason to dislike her- I don't see this as bashing.

I dunno, that's kind of what I like about her. One of my favorite things about Death Note was the morally grey weirdos. :P
