The 09 version of Steelmaking has never been seen, but the 03 version has always been an unforgettable work in my teenage years. At that time, I had never watched "Deep" anime, and I was deeply shocked by its dark plot, the discussion of human existence itself, the emotions between brothers and so on. So much so that I ranked it number one in my heart for the anime I've watched. During this period of time, my own experience has gradually enriched, and the books I have read and the works I have read have also increased. The interesting setting of the door to our world and so on still haunts my mind constantly. So I decided to revisit this masterpiece in my heart and reconnect the shots in my mind. I watched the 51 episodes + theatrical version in one go, and finally I understood some of the plots that I didn't understand when I was a child, and I also had a deeper understanding of what the whole anime was talking about. First of all, the plot of the entire anime is as follows: ——Failed to become a mother, and wanted to pursue the sage's stone to get back hands, feet and body (at the cost of becoming a national alchemist and being constantly hunted by Ska) ——Fifth research The found sage's stone is to use people as a sacrifice (the conspiracy to discover the artificial man is to use the protagonist to make the sage's stone) - looking for other ways to make the sage's stone, but found that Ska wants to make the sage's stone to retaliate Army - Stop Ska, prevent more people from dying (and get involved in the battle with the androids, and discover that the androids are the product of the failure of human body forging) - stop Ska from failing, countless innocent people die, and evil spirits Yang Cuo obtained the sage's stone - a decisive battle with the artificial man, to avoid the tragedy from happening again, and to clear his own sins (the ending of the brothers is separated from another world, the theater version reunites) Secondly, this anime actually discusses these issues 1. Is Equivalent Exchange Really the Truth of the World? This concept has been discussed several times in the anime, and finally the answer given by my father is that "the love of a loved one is unrequited". In fact, the discussion is not deep enough. 2, what kind of people? What is soul? How to prove that Rast, who has feelings, is not human, and why is Al, who only has armor and incomplete memory? The protagonist has always denied that androids are not human, but I think that since he admits that Al is human, Rust is confused by his own existence, Eunbi's jealousy of love, Gulid's greed and loyalty, Ruth's innocence and lack of love, Guladni's feelings for Rust, mother androids wanting to get rid of the shadows of the past, and emotionally rich androids, why don't they admit that they are human? Edward is actually not qualified to shout "You are not human" to use this slogan to hurt the killer. The more reason should be that the androids have done bad things rather than because the androids are monsters. 3. The relationship between animals and humans, and between humans and nature, expresses the value of "one is all, all is one". Humans are part of the world, and the world is constantly circulating. But the older brother and younger brother who knew this truth still became mothers, and in the end they used the Sage's Stone to exchange their lives with each other. (So ​​they are not actually fans of this creed, they just adopted a part of it) All in all, from the current point of view, in fact, this anime still has a lot of imperfections, except that the above issues are not discussed in depth, and the plot is progressing. It is also a little stiff, the fighting scenes are not exciting enough, and the portrayal of some characters is also very problematic (for example, the chief has been climbing up without taking revenge for Hughes. I am very puzzled by this setting, although he finally denied his stupid behavior. ). But after saying so much, the love is so deep, when I heard the Op chorus of the theatrical version sounded, Edward was fortuneteller's deep heart nostalgia, I couldn't help crying, no matter what, this is my youth , my steelwork. Steel has abused me thousands of times, and I treat steel like my first love.

    "Even so, we still believe that people will not gain anything if they don't pay. The pain we endure must be the price we pay for what we get. And no matter who makes the effort, they will get what they get. Equivalent exchange is not The principle of the world, but there will always be a day of reunion, this is the promise of my brother and I."
