OMGosh!! The ending of Fullmetal Alchemist was great!! A great ending for a great series!! 

I started reading this series when Channel U was showing the first during the weekends... I think that was back somewhere in secondary school. 

And probably because one of my favourite voice actress was acting in it. 

When I went onto my favourite manga website, to quench my week-long wait on the latest chapter of Bleach, the headline of the website was "Full Metal Alchemist 108 (END)". 

And even though I know the end was imminent, since they've announced it quite some time ago, I went, "So fast?!"

That's the thing about series ending. You watch or read it wanting to know the ending, but when the ending comes, you don't want it to end. It's either that or the ending totally suck.

For FMA, I probably was the only person reading it who couldn't understand the fight. I re-read it, and I still couldn't figure it out. Seriously. But the way the manga artist drew the aftermath, I love it all. There's something touching about it. I can't describe it. (I probably can't be an author if I can't do that... Someday...)

One thing about this title, there's so many messages I can find throughout the manga. The most significant one is family love. The main characters' love for their mother, the hatred for their father, the characters' brotherly love for each other... Then there's other elements of love as well, ...well, the normal ones. 

The other significant theme is sins. I love how the artist incorporated the Seven Greatest Sins. It's clearly depicted in here, and sometimes I learnt something that is so familiar in life, that I didn't know they were kinds of sins. But I also learnt in here that some kind of sins can also bear fruit to good things. Those are the things...

Anyway, my favourite part of the manga was the proposal. It's damn hilarious! Somehow, I kinda expected the main MAIN character to propose with those words, but the effect was still hilarious! It was touching in the end though. I went "Aw..."

That's all for FMA manga. I shall watch the second anime once it finishes. And when I've got time. 

And hopefully, Bleach doesn't end so soon. It's the only shounen manga that catches my eye now, since Eyeshield 21 and Cross Game ended, D.Grayman starts to suck, and Naruto decided to become child's play. Oh yeah, and Ookiku Furikabutte's update is too slow for me. Still love that title though.
