The thing is with the original GBA you had to be in direct sunlight to see anything anyway.
Oh yeah for anything else, the GBA's dim screen was riduculously bad. The GBA sp was a godsend and it was only a frontlight at best. Kids don't even realize how lucky they were with the DS and after, how something as simple as a backlight is taken for granted.

What was real bs was the solar power needs for that Boktai game.

Never finished it because of it. Gameboy didnt even have decent backlighting to play outside too
Er it was the exact opposite. If you played a regular gba out in the sun everything would look much clearer. It's actually when consoles that have backlighting (like the DS) which don't appear clearly in the sun because the backlighting is conflicting with the natural sunlight outside.

I played boktai a few summers ago on our roof and first noticed a regular gba actually makes it look clearer than had I played it on anything else.

Looking as well now. I have always been interested in crickets and other insects as a more sustainable protein source.

I doubt you could ever get the general public to eat them though. Too much ick factor for many...
It's funny because when you think about it, shrimp and lobster are kind of like the bugs of the sea, but these are highly sought and even considered a delicacy.

The homunculi feeling like Saturday morning cartoon villains was definitely a flaw in Brotherhood. Some people lived and died with no character depth at all. The original show tried to humanize nearly everyone, except maybe Gluttony and Kimbley.

The first show's problem was that the plot started falling apart near the end. When it first started to deviate from the manga, it was still good. Alphonse being turned into a Philosopher's Stone was very interesting. But then you get all these weird plot twists, and the true antagonist comes out of nowhere. But while it made questionable decisions, it still handled those decisions very well. The endings (show and movie) stayed in keeping with the show's major themes of sin, atonement, and sacrifice for a greater good.

Brotherhood's ending was nice, but too safe. Considering everything that's happened in the series, I feel like most people got off too easy.

What bothered me the most was the way everyone turned on the original anime when Brotherhood came out. The first show was lauded as one of the best anime ever, then once Brotherhood came everyone pulled a 180, saying Brotherhood was perfect and 2003 was crap (past the shared material, which everyone agrees was better the first time). That passion seems to be cooling down lately, and more people are appreciating the differences between the two now.
Oh yeah, it was absolutely difficult being an FMA fan a decade ago, there were borderline witch hunts for any fans of the original show hehe.

Anyway, the original show's plot does fall apart, and it has probably one of the worst endings of all time (Brotherhood's ending on the other hand went too far on the other side of the spectrum with its happy-go-lucky "everyone lived happily ever after" conclusion) since I feel it actually goes against one of the most important themes of the original, that being the journey and relationship of the two brothers, which is what makes the original FMA so much better.

The followup movie wasn't that great either. The concept of the gate leading to an alternate real world of ours was somewhat intriguing but I don't know if it was ultimately a good idea.

But yeah it is a shame because it was such a great show so the final part ending badly and that ridiculous villain didn't help either. It's funny, both shows had a pretty terrible lame villain but for completely different reasons. Yet they're both inexplicably tied to Hohenheim.

It took nearly a decade, but it's great to see that it's safe for fans of the original to discuss the show and strengths/faults of both freely without backlash.

Actually what bothered me about Brotherhood is that the actual story and villain were pretty blah. The homunculi were also just boss fodder, the kind you find in a dbz fighting game. No personality, no complexity, they and the main villain were just there.

The original FMA did a great job of showing the homunculi as basically being a result of the hubris of humanity and their arrogance to think they can use alchemy to raise the dead or "play god" as it were. It ties in greatly with themes of "we make our own demons" and such. Though not without its faults of course. But still better than the manga brotherhood version.

Or rather, I was just indifferent towards it. I was already disliking the time travel portion in season 2 but then they didn't just lean into it, they made it the whole show.

So he goes back in time and erases what happened. Whoop de doo. The Lenny that was his sister that was Lenny kills herself. All the other characters... I mean wasn't division 3 a mutant hunting division? Was that put on the backburner for the whole david thing?

I thought there was going to be a lesson about never going back in time, and how selfish it is that he wants to change something for just one thing, but nope, he selfishly wants to change time just for himself, and gets what he wants. No reprimanding, no if someone could go back in time they'd kill Hitler, no any of that typical lecture you get.

Like, do you want me to stop caring about the plot and start deeding? That can't be good for business.

On the other hand, it makes me think the director is a huge perv who wanted to strip the actress down. I bet he had more retakes of naked scenes than any other.
To be fair nudity isn't automatically sexual... it's meant to be "artistic"
