Checked holy thread

He's also voiced by a real tween boy in the dub rather than a grown woman doing a shit job of sounding like a teenager

>>3942785
Rie Kugimiya's Al was always pretty unconvincing, but I'll admit I do like Romi Park as Ed. I have a visceral dislike of Vic Mignogna though, that might be giving me a bias.

Thoughts and feelings on armorcest?

>>3940358
>>3940425
You know, I never thought about it that way before, but you're absolutely right. I wonder how many people he slept with to get to Colonel.

>>3942789
>Rie Kugimiya's Al was always pretty unconvincing
Still better than the chick they got to voice him in Brotherhood's dub. But that dub just had shit casting all-around. Selim's actress didn't even try to not sound like a grown woman.

Sweet. A thread about soulmates.

>>3942794
That one doujin where Ed desperately jerks off in the shower while licking the walls and imagining it's Alphonse's armor still remains one of the most kino doujins I've ever read

Anon, you can't just say something like that without dropping a link or a title.

i lost count of how many times i used to replay the fight on my dvd player as a tween, little i knew this little non-canonical cutie had awoken something in me, jeez

>>3943035
He's a better character than the "canon" shota Homunculus.

pov: My dream has come true

>t. Envy

I want him carnally

> have a visceral dislike of Vic Mignogna though, that might be giving me a bias.
Why I thought he was good as Ed

>>3943035
Literally me, Wrath was a cutie

>>3945644
Not that anon but wasn’t he a creep?
Personally I can only hear Ed as him. The dub voice actors make Ed and Envy for me.

>>3945650
>>3945651
Nice.

Yeah, I don't know a whole lot about the sexual harassment allegations, but there have been a lot of them. I was new in anime fan spaces in the mid 2000s, and I remember he had a thing where he would basically proselytize at conventions. He called his fans the "Resembool Rangers", and he would hold Christian sermons for them at cons. FMA03 was a show that helped me work through a lot of religious trauma I had from childhood, and it always rubbed me the wrong way that he used his popularity from voicing Edward to spread religious sentiment. He also had the attitude of someone who thought he was like a rock star. Something almost felt wannabe cult leaderish to me. Given that behavior, it would not surprise me if he had been inappropriate with fans, but I really haven't followed the allegations at all.

I also don't like English VAs with a limited vocal range, even if they are a decent actor. I have the same problem with Johnny Yong Bosch. I end up only thinking about a previous character they voiced, or, more likely, the VA themselves.

I do think that the 03 dub had some good writing and good deliveries, and I think Vic was a good pick for Ed, controversies aside. And I do kind of like his cover of the OST song "Bratja". But I just can't listen to that dub anymore. I can't speak to the Brotherhood dub since I only ever watched it subbed.

>>3945672
Kek, for real? That religion shit is creepy in itself, yikes.
I will agree that I prefer voice actors with more range but then again, someone like Vic or like, Richard Horvitz from Invader Zim has distinct voices that sort of make the character for me. I could see Vic being an insufferable douchebag who thought the sun shone of his ass, for sure. That >>3945672
being said, he will always be the voice of Ed for me.

Fellow FMA 03 oldfag here, can confirm this shit happened and Mignona was extremely up his own ass. Also regarding the allegations, pretty sure I remember seeing comments on LiveJournal about him being a creep to girls back in the early oughts, but nobody gave a shit if you perved on teens in those days so nothing really came of it.

>>3945833
>>3945844
Yeah, I had to do some digging, because a lot of this shit has been buried under the harassment allegations and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't misremembering. It went deeper than I remembered. He didn't just hold Sunday services at cons. His "Risembool Rangers" (to avoid copyright infringement) would arrange bible studies sessions, and he'd give out CDs of him reading bible passages in "Edward's voice". Being open about your faith is one thing, but what fucking right did he have to appropriate a character he didn't own to peddle his beliefs like that?

I'd forgotten about the homophobia too. He voiced Fai D Flourite in Tsubasa Chronicles, and during a panel when a fan brought up his character's close relationship with Kurogane, another male character, he claimed that he "spoke with CLAMP" and they confirmed that Fai was 100% Not Gay and actually interested in a female character. And when fans had follow-up questions he had nothing to say because obviously he pulled that out of his ass. I don't follow CLAMP stories, but as I understand it these two characters are literal soulmates, and their relationship is heavily queer-coded, if not explicitly gay.

It's like he was afraid voicing a gay character would turn him gay by association. It goes without saying that he hated Roy/Ed shippers, but many always have since it's a pairing that involves an underage boy. Still, it's rich that he would have problems with shippers considering his own "Edward as a bible thumper" fanfiction.

Oh hey, it's Edward's birthday! Happy Birthday Ed!

He would be 120 today if he were still alive.

>>3946009
Is this canon?

>>3946013
I saw people celebrating it on Twitter, and Google's AI overview confirmed it, but looking more into it apparently it's fanon. It is canon that his birthday is in Winter, so I'm celebrating it anyways.

>>3945846
>It goes without saying that he hated Roy/Ed shippers, but many always have since it's a pairing that involves an underage boy
Back in the day, the objection to RoyEd wasn't the age difference, but that it was gay at all. Vic hated it, but I remember he did voice a line about loving Roy once as a gag and everyone lost their minds over it.
>a CLAMP character being not gay
lmao I remember him being pissed about Fai being gay too. I have so many memories about him being extremely weird and culty, which made me all the more annoyed when anti-woke retards who know nothing about his past dickrode him after the allegations went out. Older fujos know the truth about that freak.

>>3945662
>The dub voice actors make Ed and Envy for me.
Envy's dub voice is so feminine though. The chick doesn't even try to sound like a dude.

>>3946599
>the objection to RoyEd wasn't the age difference, but that it was gay at all
Yeah, you make a good point. I don't think the age difference was a complete non-issue, but definitely a secondary concern next to just being gay. It's crazy how even the most vanilla homo ships used to be treated like the height of degeneracy back then. We've come a long way.

Is it bad that a part of me kind of misses it? When all slash was considered depraved by normies there was less moral policing that happened withing fujo spaces. Now that BL has become practically mainstream it's also become a lot more boring. I blame Yuri on Ice.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

>>3948223
Happy Valentine's Day!

>>3946925
I don’t feel like his sub voice actor sounds any more masculine. I don’t know, I think the androgyny of his voice adds to the intrigue of the character. It’s pretty clear (which I prefer) he’s masculine but I find it rather attractive. Isn’t Ed’s sub voice actor a chick, too?

Sex
Raw sex
Nasty raw sex…
With Edward Elric!

He so preeetty

Envy pit bump

I love Alphonse's dub VA in Brotherhood. It fits him so well as an adult. Yes, Alphonse is a soft, gentle man, and his voice (a woman lowering her voice slightly) fits that.

>>3957862
she did a good job but nothing beats having hired an actual preteen boy for his 2003 version, so cute

>>3957862
>>3961395
As someone who prefers FMAB one of the things I think 03 did better was Alphonse’s voice.

Also happy belated Envy day.

back In the day 03 tricked me into believing otoutos were this cute, devoted and sweet.

>>3961399
his (?) is one of the few cases where a female voice works perfectly to his favour. I am curious as to how it'd be to hear him with a male voice though...
Gosh hes so sexy

>>3961399
speaking of brotherhood vs 03, I still think the dark/dirty blond hair on Al looks miles better than the same shade as Ed's

>>3961408
Agreed. Al having darker hair and green eyes to resemble his mom was kino.

>>3961404
Envy's voice is incredible (not just saying that as a stan), it fits him so well. He's very sexy, I like him on the buffer side, like in FMAB.

>>3961408
>>3962548
Agreed as well, I much prefer him with darker features, I ignore that from FMAB. Also Ed staying smol.

There are things I prefer in both series.

I never finishes reading the manga so my question is: is there any clue that Al ever felt an inkling of normal-growing-teenage-boy-emotions™ whilst he was in the armour? There was this gag omake that had him being jelly of Edward's "sexy" heroic moments like the one where he walked in Winry changing, but thats it

>>3942780
>>3945846
I am an oldfag but didnt have the chance to browse the internet back in the day, how was the status of Elricest back then? My dumb underdeveloped brain didnt catch how much the brothers were devoted to each other but I am sure older fans had a field day, but was it was popular as say RoyEd or has it always been niche??

>he will never step on me and crush me

>ywn have a cute otouto downright obsessed with you

>>3967513
>>3967521
it's so over for us all. billions must become Philosopher's Stones

>>3957862
Meanwhile, Pride's dub VA in Brotherhood sucked absolute shit. No idea why they didn't just get 03 Wrath's VA back.
