Oh, oh, very much agreed. Nowadays people spit down on things like characters interaction. And based on the words of some jerk on the forums, EdWinry is "pointless drivel" and people are idiots for being happy about them than wanting more action.
Yeah, because PAIRINGS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN, AMIRITE? Only what they want should happen. Because pairings are so over-rated, and we're all looking for something different and tragic and dry, yes? Because a story's not good unless it's overflowing with nothing but plot, and no character interaction that happens in everyday life. (Hell, in everyday life, it's all "What dress should I wear? Would he like it? NUUUU")
They shouldn't try to change the spirit of a story. If they want no romance... they should go read Death Note! Why are they reading the FMA manga. Didn't Hughes constantly teasing Ed and Winry about getting it on clue them in, way back in volume four?
It's Arakawa's choice, and let those who want to enjoy it, enjoy it. Also, I find it hypocritical that one moment they say you don't like romance, next you say EdRose would be better?
Yeah...
Yeah, people come for the action, but stay for the characters and how the plot and situations develop. it's not all about fighting, Ed does not always win, etc. It also has fresh character interactions that make you want to jump up and down.
Quoting from a favorite book of mine, "The tale is wiser than the teller". Say, you are reading a story about a bunch of people hiding from bad guys, and at one point they hide in an olive jar-- the person who you told the story to might just be enamoured with the concept of hiding in a olive jar and try it.
So yeah >.>;... EdWinry fans find EdWinry awesome while still enjoying the story.
Whether they kike it or not, Arakawa loves family scenerios. Like it or not, Ed's prolly gonna get someone. Whether they like it or not, it just might be the one girl who can scare him and make him melt (Haha, cheese much?). FMA isn't just about how badass Ed is oh how action-y a chapter is. it's about the characters and plot and development.
I really don't see why that's so looked down upon here (prolly why I'll never regularly hang out here except for manga posts like these) but yeah... just wow. So immature, people trying to be all "deep" and going all "FMA is different and only how I see it, RAWR!"
But no, once a story has romance and thougfht rather than action, IT IS TRASH! :D YUH!
