From 2005 to 2011, I finally made this steel after 6 years~ 4 days Turning black and white, 105 episodes and 2,100 minutes of "tempering", why I watch it, sometimes I can't tell, whether it's funny or a thrilling storyline. At the end, it seems that these are not the most important reasons, maybe it is Because such an anime can make people think about it in addition to making everyone laugh.
One or two のdifferent
minds suddenly have a lot of ideas about this anime, and to be precise, two versions of a play. It can be said that the background of the story is basically the same, but the ideas of the characters in the development of the plot have been completely changed, and it is completely a new mentality to read again. The second part is undoubtedly the end of the set. It is no longer as scattered as the first part and can't grasp the main points. Many times, some characters just appear for no reason, and then fade away.
In fact, the two plays have the same story and clues. They are all based on the same reason: the two brothers secretly made human bodies for the resurrection of their mothers, and then they were exchanged for the brother's body and one of the older brother's legs and arms. A horrible half-finished product. In order to restore their bodies and seek something called "Sage's Stone", they were forced to leave their homes at a young age, and joined the Central Army as national alchemists. At the same time, they began a long and arduous journey. The clues of the story revolve around the search for the Sage's Stone, emphasizing a principle-"equivalent exchange", and at the same time uncovering the secret truth hidden behind the Central Army, the Isbar region, the androids, etc. step by step.
But the point of view that the story ends up making is different. Some people say that the second part is more provocative than the first. The emotional color of the first part is cold and dark, even desperate, it seems to be cold to the end~. In the face of the fact that "Sage's Stone" relies on the sacrifice of living people, the attitudes shown by the brothers are still different. The first part was hesitant at first, but in the end he insisted on looking for it~~ This seems to go against some things, and it feels a bit fate; while the second part is to give up this evil thing, insist on insisting on justice to the end, and change This kind of thinking, hoping to find a new way to restore the body, just as Ed reminds himself to "think" every time when it is difficult. There are many means to achieve the goal, is it to stick to one's own principles, or to accept the reality helplessly and do something against the will? This may be the biggest watershed between the two dramas.
I always feel that the first part is a bit scattered, and the story of each episode is a bit separated. The two brothers are always inexplicably shuttled in some cities, busying themselves, and then some inexplicable characters appear, such as what is the name of a war madman I don't know, anyway, at the beginning, I felt that I was going to do something big, but I didn't understand it and died. Sometimes I just want to pull the timeline faster and don't want to see those people talking nonsense.
Heart of Steel is better highlighted in the second installment, and the fight scenes are much more intense than the first.
Ed seems to have become more mature and sensible. Of course, in the end, he has really grown up and is no longer the hot-tempered Douding Haha, congratulations.
In fact, the second part is based on the first part, hoping to make a kind of perfect, rich, Happy Ending is the most likable after all~. After so many years, I hope that many things can be better improved, I think any creator will do so.
2. Comparative analysis of characters
1.
Some backgrounds of the androids about the androids. The two parts focus on different characters. The first part mainly talks about the character Lust, which is in line with her status symbol and her love. The memory, but I feel a little weak, the second part did not pay attention and died somehow.
The brother's artificial mother Sloth and the master's artificial son Lath seem to have nothing to do with their original sin symbols, and more want to make them feel guilty. In the second part, Sloth was purely a giant who was very tired and troublesome all day long, but was forced to dig tunnels all day long, and finally the Armstrong sisters and brothers spent a lot of effort to get it.
Greed's rebirth through Yao Lin in the second part is much more powerful than the hasty death in the first part, and this guy with inflated desire actually has a shadow of love and righteousness in the end, he finally The desire is a partner, it is really annoying.
And Envy's weight in the two plays is actually very heavy, but the characters in the second part are much richer. He and Ed's opponents play with ease, and there are also some "loving" plots. Although he caused a war to kill Hughes, the anger of the chief officer was unstoppable, and he forced the revenge factor in his heart. It was imperative to kill him, but at the critical moment, human nature suppressed hatred, and finally "jealousy" also Turning into a poor little worm and committing suicide in shame and tragic, it is profound.
President Kim Bradley (Wrath) and his son Pride (Pride) in the first part of the son is a normal person, the life experience of the president has not been specifically explained, it seems that the first president is the representative of pride. The second part explains that the president is an elected human pillar, not made by refining, and his son is also a baby. In fact, their fate is similar and they have lost the care of motherhood. They have been the puppet of the central government since childhood. The so-called fathers manipulated as a tool to satisfy their ever-expanding ambitions. In the end, their deaths also have a reasonable echo. The president died of PK with Ska, (the first part was with the chief) to end the war hatred between the two countries and nations. The son also returned to the prototype of the baby and continued to live with his adoptive mother.
Gluttony, the fat boy who can never get enough to eat, is stupid except to eat, but his appetite has made him crazy and cruel. His "great mission" in the first part is to put Madame Dante at the end. eat.
The two methods for the final destination of the android are completely different. The first part was sealed with an alchemy array and transformed into other substances, and it didn't really perish~ The artificial son fell in the forest and I don't know what it means. The second part is a complete fight or rebirth or ashes. Which one is better or not comment. (Note: The androids are not immortal but tenacious, they will die many times.)
2.
The basic characters of the main characters and the protagonists have not changed much, and the images of the supporting characters are more three-dimensional. Every character has their own appearance. The meaning is no longer just a trick. It seems that everyone has their own story behind it, and it also continues with the development of the story, which plays an important role in the elaboration of the theme. In a good work, even the smallest characters should have their meaning, so that people can not forget it.
Axis of Evil: Madam Dante VS Father Father (the villain in the flask)
Specifically, that Madame Dante and that Nora and Rose appeared out of nowhere. I didn't look at it seriously, so it felt abrupt, for the sake of immortality. How does the so-called love story with Hoynes feel like a vampire legend, and she died so cheaply in the end, it's too cheap for her, after doing such a thing and killing so many people, she was eaten by her own android~? There are still some unknown things about the Fifth Research Institute, and Dante seems to be just one of the little ghosts.
The little man in this little flask (also an artificial man, of course someone has to make this thing) is just a smear of coal ash in the little flask, it is very knowledgeable, the great ideal is to leave the little flask and walk out of the world to live freely, the beginning is beautiful The ideal has actually developed to become the overlord of the universe and become a god~~ terrifying desire, I believe this may be some prototype of most people, I believe that Hitler didn't even think about becoming the world overlord, at most, it is a good job. All right.
Hoinheim of Light VS Hoinheim
of Light --- 400 years ago, the Sage's Stone was successfully created, and the soul was transferred to another person's body to survive. However, after performing a soul transfer once, he lost his resistance to physical deterioration. He left her because he didn't want his wife to see the decaying body.
The father in the first part is obviously a pervert. He said that he loves his wife a lot, but he didn't feel what he did. The stone of the person is a "cause of disaster".
The second part is obviously to rehabilitate this father~ The story gave this father an ancient identity---slave 23. In order to gain knowledge, he became attached to the villain. In the end, because of the expansion of the villain's desire, he was involved and absorbed half of it. The "Sage's Stone" made by people, and then got the immortal body. After a hundred years, I met Brother Aide's mother, and then gave birth to these two babies~ Finally, I didn't know what to do and left. It seems that this father is not that bad. Although he is not too responsible, he seems to have ulterior motives. His love for his mother is also much deeper. The final death of old age in front of my mother's grave can be regarded as a warm explanation.
The second part increases and strengthens the emotional scenes of the protagonists, so let's analyze the protagonists from an emotional point of view.
New characters
from the East: Yao Lin Lanfang Fu ~ Ye (the most loyal love)
Several people from the royal family of Dongfang Xingguo (it seems to be the Qing Dynasty), the prince in distress, and his entourage, the rich man and granddaughter Lan Fang, for the sake of Looking for some kind of immortality, he is probably also looking for the stone of the sage. He is also a careerist when he renews the country and ascends to the throne. The scene where he and Greed were combined into one scene was quite exciting, and the two of them had enough desires to inflate, and in the end they were considered friends in adversity. Lan Fang's loyalty and silent love for the prince are also very touching, a good emotional line.
Zhang Mei (with Little May) & Aier (the purest love)
My favorite red panda, Little May, is like a lump of rice balls, and every action is as funny as her little master, but it is fierce It will bite people~ But in fact, the courage is still very small, seeing her expression is so loving.
Her master, the descendants of the royal family of May, is also trying to restore his clan. Sure enough, she is a complete nympho. When she sees the two brothers who are crazy, she also fantasizes about the story of the prince and the princess, and she is still a "shouting bag". Tears can be used as weapons~ Look at her, she is too speechless to El's nympho , Al, you can take it, everyone is so affectionate.
Elva, what a good baby, she is pure and kind, so people don't love her, she is gentle, polite and caring for her family, and sometimes she is shy, so a piece of cloth in front of the big armor covers her shame~ acridine~ I can't think of it~ I'm still old I picked up some stray cats and dogs and put them in my crotch~~~ Those big pure eyes are so cute~~ And the sound of "Nai-san" makes people suspect that Al has always had a crush on his old man. Brother, there is a suspicion of broken back, and it's still in love, it's too complicated~~~~~~ So in the second part, I have to find him a girlfriend quickly so that he can't fall into it.
Nympho and Zhengtai are a perfect match~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed-Woo and the beautiful Wendy (the most reserved love)
Ed -Woo is more cute
than El's~ My brother is not easy to mess with, He has a very big temper, and Xiaodouding bursts at a little bit, hey~~ Always be so excited to be careful to burst blood vessels haha. A typical hard-spoken soft-hearted, from his eyes, it is obvious that he is different from his younger brother. The younger brother is round and innocent and stupid, while the older brother always looks disdainful, with a bad spirit. Wendy said that boys can't be too good~~ Maybe that's what attracted her. Why did he lose when he fought with his brother for Wendy back then? I don't think he took the initiative to fight at that time. His love for Wendy was extremely subtle. Every time someone asked if he liked Wendy, why did he blushed? Such a big-tempered man, and he still vetoed it with all his might. She's cute enough, but she's already hopelessly in love, haha.
Wendy~ A gentle and beautiful girl in a mechanical house . She
is obsessed with machinery, focuses on the pursuit of perfection, and always nags Douding on little things~~ Okay, it actually includes infinite love for Douding, silently The woman behind the effort to make Douding.
I finally confessed, it's so powerful~~ Douding, why do you still offer an equivalent exchange, what is half of you and half of me, and Wendy will give you all the love.
Lieutenant Lisa Hawker Aiga Zoroy Mustang RR (the toughest love)
How about this pair~~ Life and death lovers on the battlefield, the most important person to each other. How does it feel like a couple of secret agents, both of them are cool, they are lovers and the best partners, their love for each other is implicit and deep, and they are willing to sacrifice for each other.
Da Zuo's deep temperament and sharp eyes are very scorpio-like, and his calm and calm personality has a lot of ambition in his heart~ I want to be the president, but my friendship with friends is also very deep, no one will forget Da Zuo's work in Hughes The rain and tears shed before the grave, the will to avenge a friend in the end is too lethal~~••
Ross actually has a lot of similarities with the Colonel, and he is calm enough, but he is more pragmatic. Capricorn~~ The chief seems to be a little frivolous and childish. Her love for Da Zuo is not only willing to sacrifice for the other party, but also does not want the other party to fall into the abyss of sin. The PK with Enwei was too impressive. A match made in heaven~~
3. Other supporting roles
Armstrong and her sister~~ In the first part, there is no sister, and the role of this muscular eldest brother in Part 1 is only a comedian role, except for the muscular husband of the master. There is not much room for the muscle love that makes people speechless. This muscular brother is as intoxicated by his own muscles as his old uncle on the guitar was obsessed with his dance. But his kind, righteous and sentimental heart, and from time to time he pretends to have a kawaii expression~ It really makes people feel mixed, and every time I see that bright star popping out of the corner of his eyes, I always feel that life is full of hope. His sister is actually a good character. Under the cold exterior, the inner justice, bravery, and love for her subordinates melted the cold ice in the north, making her subordinates feel a powerful force, and she would die without complaint for her. No regrets, my Snow Queen.
Master and Muscular Husband~~ Let me mention it by the way~ The housewife wears slippers with WC written on it. She is an amazing heroine with an amazing temperament and strength. Her husband and Armstrong are loyal allies of the Muscle League.
Hughes
~~ The special performance is impressive. Although he was killed very early in the front~~ Hey, he is a very important person. He is the first person to discover the secrets of the army. There is also his exaggerated doting on his daughter, the daughter's photo is much more powerful than any magic medicine, and he has to transfer this idea to others, probably taking out his daughter's photo in time at that time may bring him back to life.
Ska~
Carrying the mission of revenge for the entire nation, he hated those national alchemists, killing each other when he saw them. In the first part, his elder brother is simply trying to resurrect his dead lover, that is, the artificial man Lust, and he took his own life by engaging in alchemy, and how can you take the opportunity to ditch sister-in-law~~ The second part His older brother seems to be more righteous. For the sake of the nation and even for innocent lives, he studied a new alchemy to replace the Sage's Stone, and also sacrificed heroically for the younger brother of Ska. It seems that Brother Skarta is the prophet of the whole play.
There are also some synthetic beasts orangutans, lions, toads, wild boars... I thought they would kill them directly in the PK, and they would not be too concerned, but they have not forgotten their human nature, and they also have important people in their hearts. In the end, they all stayed and became their loyal partners. Even the humblest life needs to be respected by others, be it humans or animals, people cannot ignore life too much.
I probably forgot some small characters~~ I didn't pay attention~ I won't talk about it for the time being.
I almost forgot Brother Truth~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who is this white shadow? I don't quite understand the so-called God, the so-called truth.
What's on the other side of the door? ? ? ? Hopefully the new theatrical version has an explanation.
