I didn't even know there were OVA's 馃槓
Aw.. I was really looking forward to episode 31...but I guess watching the OVA at this point also makes sense. P.S. still hoping you will watch Death Note. :)
State Alchemist are a part of the Military. Ed is a Major and he could wear the military blues if he wanted too, I just don't think that Ed wants to be associated with the military anymore than he is. He perfers what he wears and I believe since he didn't go to the academy and due to his age he has more lenancy in what he wears (he does have the watch to show his affiliation though). He became a State Alchemist to gain access to research material to find a way to get Al's body back. Ed does not like the military - it is why he was ready to hand in his watch to Bradley in ep 29. He stays in the military because it offers him both money and materials he wouldn't have otherwise. Ed's main priority is Al and taking care of themselves. Ed has some basic military training (that is not really alluded to in the anime - but all of Ed and Al's training with Izumi probably fast tracked the process) but he didn't spend time at an academy like Mustang did for a few years (before becoming a State Alchemist which boosted him to the rank of Major). Becoming a State Alchemist involves rigorous tests and evaluations, and Ed was able to do everything when he was 12 (basically unheard of)- becoming the youngest State Alchemist in history. Mustang became a State Alchemist at 20 (which is still very young), which happened after B. Hawkeyes death, when Mustang finished learning flame alchemy. Ishval War Order 3066 happened 3 years later and all combat-oriented State Alchemists were sent to the front line (Flame, Crimson, Iron Blood, Strong Arm, etc.)
4? Did I already miss 1-3? When did that happen?
You are good. They did OVA 4 first because it's about Mustang and Hughes and the Ishvalan War, which was the main topic of last week's episode. :D
when is rick and mortys reaction ? tomorrow ?
Yes
Oh, God why an OVA..:( I want them to see the story...But FMAB is always Awesome!
what is this never seen this before so now ep 33 will be late for another week
33? Wut
People being salty over them watching an OVA have probably not seen it lol
Don't get me wrong I love some of fma ovas but tbh I was a little bummed to see this on Patreon but that's just me
Al actually isnt a member of the military. only ed is. al is still a civilian
I think putting the OVA here makes a lot of sense. Saving it to the end works too, but it doesn't give the same emotional impact as watching it straight after the Ishval episodes.
I completely forgot about the OVA's but I do think that doing them makes sense to get all the story
Why?
Should've saved the OVAs until the end.
It makes more sense here because it expands on the Ishvalan War of Extermination, which was a main topic of last week's episode.
There's no need for an ova. I felt like that was a waste of a week. Still a big fan but was bummed to see it was a ova.
It's a really good OVA. Gives us a lot of backstory for Mustang that helps you understand his motivations better.
I'm confused why are they doing ova 4?
Because it's relevant to Ishvalan War events from last week. :)
