Title: Edward vs. Edward
Author: Dearheart
Rating: Rated G for Giggles! :D
Summary: Once upon a blank piece of paper, two very different characters from two very different fandoms happened to bump into each other. One was an alchemist with height issues. The other was a vampire with no fangs. Chaos and comical verbal attacks ensued.
This goes out to all of you who are Team Edward - as in the REAL Edward! *wink* The knight in shining automail - our awesome, butt-kicking, short-ranting Ed - was around long before sparkly people began invading Stephanie Meyer's dreams. This is also something that anyone who's familiar with both FMA and Twilight can enjoy. Whether you be Twi-hard or Twi-hater...if you know both Edwards, you should like this. ;-)
Without further ado, I give you...
Edward vs. Edward

This may sound old and tired, that someone's life was changed by an anime.
But mine was.
Back in 7th grade, when I first saw FMA at my friends 13th birthday party I was awe-struck.
I had always thought the name "FullMetal Alchemist" meant it was a mech anime but I was wrong.
I remembered I had wanted to watch YYH but the T.V.s at the hotel we were staying in were 3 hours ahead and I ended up watching FMA.
I remember me and my friend were very shocked when we saw Ed's arm and leg and when we heard Al talk. We both thought Ed was cute though.
After that my friend had researched it and it was kinda out of my mind.
All my friends started getting into it at once, and I was put off edge by how much they liked it, so I started to not like it.
It was silly of me, not giving FMA a chance back then.
I said I hated it, even though I didn't know anything aobut it.

Okay...I've watched every episode of Brotherhood so far, and I think I've finally got a solid opinion formed on it. Bear with me; this is kinda long, but I really need to vent this out. Also, before reading this rant, keep in mind that I was introduced to FMA through the first anime series, and I read the manga afterwards. So unlike a lot of fans, I haven't gone through the frustration of reading the original epic stories and then watching something that goes in a completely different direction.
Okay.
Manga enthusiasts, don't kill me...but I've tried to give Brotherhood a chance. I've tried SO HARD to love it and plug into it, and now and then I have truly loved it...but it's just not working. Something's missing; something vital that the first series had. And I've finally figured out what it is.
It's heart.
Don't get me wrong; I'm glad they're doing another series, and there are many things about Brotherhood that I love. I'm glad it's following the original, stronger storyline, the art is GORGEOUS, the world is bigger and better, and because I've read the manga, I know the characters are going to grow and develop a lot...
