Okay...I've watched every episode of Brotherhood so far, and I think I've finally got a solid opinion formed on it. медведь with me; this is kinda long, but I really need to vent this out. Also, before Чтение this rant, keep in mind that I was introduced to FMA through the first Аниме series, and I read the Манга afterwards. So unlike a lot of fans, I haven't gone through the frustration of Чтение the original epic stories and then watching something that goes in a completely different direction.

Okay.

Manga enthusiasts, don't kill me...but I've tried to give Brotherhood a chance. I've tried SO...

This is part 1 of my response to NaokoElric's rant about sexism in FMA, link While I admit my initial reaction to her rant was a bit knee-jerk ("WHAAAAAT OMG NO FMA IS NOT SEXIST WHAT PLANET IS SHE FROM HOLY ARAKAWA"), it proved to be a fun and interesting challenge once I gave it a chance. It forced me not to take FMA for granted and really look at the content, and helped me gain a greater appreciation for it and a better understanding of why I believe what I believe in.

I thought it'd be interesting to share the rant rebuttals over here and see what Ты guys think about the issue. I'll post...
