vestt2 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Alchemy is the art of transforming matter deconstruction and reconstruction. However, in order to create something, the alchemist has to present something of equal value; this is the golden rule of alchemy. After losing their mother to a disease, Edward and Alphonse Elric try to resurrect her, an illegal taboo in the world of alchemy. Through the unsuccessful process Edward loses his arm and his leg and has to transmute Alphonse’s soul (which lost its body,) to a suit of armor. Afterward the two set off on a journey to find the legendary philosopher’s stone and use its magic to reunite with their bodies. In the process Edward joins the army and a much bigger plot unfolds.Edward Elric now has AutoMail- Is Metal limbs, when Elric became a State alchemist he also got a pocket which enhanced his alchemy skill.Elric uses his arm as a weapon through alchemy and also uses the ground to make weapon.To do that you need transmutation circle which could either be on drawn on the floor or be drawn on the floor, or when you see the gate you can clap to use alchemy. is essentially an exploration into morality and the many philosophical ideals that have governed humanity. Edward and Alphonse’s journey to regain their bodies is symbolic of the show’s journey to build a true moral body of its own. In the act of regaining their bodies, Edward and Alphonse must also build on their ideals and morality. The various characters in their journey each bring their own ethics to the table. In General Armstrong and Fort Briggs we see an influence from Darwin‘s survival of the fittest. In “Father” we see Nietzsche‘s philosophy of the “ubermensch” (the super person who has the power and the right to rise above all those weaker than him.) The philosophical references are endless; ranging from Schopenhauer‘s “will to be” and pessimism, to Hume‘s skepticism. The true merit of this anime’s philosophical journey however lies not only in the various references but in its answer to all the questions. It does not simply throw a bunch of references out there to appear intellectual. It brings all of them together in order to give its own answer. An answer which eventually takes the side of Kantian philosophy in stating that the true “goodness” of our actions lies in our intention.

GODSBANE123456 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Grammatically, it is atrocious and somewhat hard to read, but the idea behind it is long and complex... perhaps with a team of 5 (not counting voice actors) it could take a few months to complete. You have to do all new animations, new meshes and textures, new towns, and someway to incorporate casting "magic" on yourself so as to create a transmutation circle. Or you would have "gloves" act as the transmutation circles so that you can just "attack" to cast a fireball per say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
