Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND THREE
The third volume of the FMA manga covers the Elric brothers’ trip back to Risembool to get Edward’s automail arm fixed (it was destroyed by Scar), the research at Central’s library into the Philosopher’s Stone, and most of the Laboratory 5 incident. The first animated series stayed pretty faithful to this portion overall.

Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND ONE
Hiromu Arakawa’s long running manga, Fullmetal Alchemist, has had the luxury of not only being extremely popular both in Japan and here in the U.S., but recieving two anime adaptations. The first was helmed by director Seiji Mizushima in 2003, and ran for 51 episodes. The second will air this year, helmed by Yasuhiro Irie. The two series were/are productions of Studio Bones, known for its high quality productions.
Bandai’s 1/100 Master Grade Sinanju was my first build of 2009*.
(I haven’t proofed this article, so suck it)
From a build quality this kid if fucking fantastic. Not only does it look great, but it’s a big sucker, considerably taller than most MG Gundams. Much to my surprise this kit lacks pollycap joints. While I hated that on my Crossbone the mechanics here are great. The joints are innovative and make for lots of movement. The only issue here is that the shield can be a bit heavy (at least with the beam saber things attached) than the arm can support. If it’s clipped on the forearm it has a tendency to pop off all to easily or slowly cause the arm to dip down.
