lost beauty

Steelmaking is one of the few Japanese animations I've watched.
In my impression, Japanese animation is really a cultural invasion. Apart from pornography, violence and boring plots, there is basically nothing left. What I can't tolerate the most is the lengthy narrative, hundreds of episodes at every turn, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it. However, after I spent all my patience watching Steel, my impression of Japanese cartoons changed slightly.
With the strong recommendation of a friend and the condition of providing the disc for free, I spent two days to read all the content. What impressed me the most was not the entanglement between the two worlds, but the group photo of Edward, Al and their mother in the title--the three smiling sweetly under the gentle sunshine... Then the classic principle of equivalent exchange sounded. After watching this cartoon, this scene has been in my mind for a long time; like all good things, its existence is as short-lived, but it can illuminate the life of Ed and Al, and support them in their struggle and pursuit, and in harmony with human nature. Ugly and tenacious fighting, fighting... but in the process of pursuit, they gradually grew up and gradually hid this beauty in their hearts. At the end, on the other side of the door, Ed and his father together reminded me of that photo again, and the long-lost beauty lingers in my heart for a long time...

    The last 6 episodes are full of high energy. That powerful belief infected me, the power of belief. Conspiracy, forbearance, I don't know how to be a good moment. No matter how the world works, individuals must have their own beliefs and principles to support their lives. Inside the army, inside the androids, the alchemists, the people in each group have their own intentions, good and bad, greedy for good for no reason, weaknesses or strengths. It is love and trust that create faith, and it is faith that makes people's lives start. And the price of greed, and innocent victims. You will always make mistakes, admit your mistakes and continue to work hard for your beliefs, constantly groping for what you want or what you don’t want to lose in the process. What moved me, the setting that the android can change his appearance is full of confusion, and the sentence she said, I have no soul but have memories with you, which makes me painful, this sense of division. And that synthetic beast said that he would rather die than be sealed. The alchemist knew that the daughter he had refined was just a body without a soul, so he still held it tight. Different people's different choices cannot be explained simply by whether they recognize the reality clearly. Their own big dreams.
