Day 11- Your favorite fight


Actually this is harder than it looks. I have much love for the Greed vs Ed fight from the first anime and I have much love for the Roy vs Lust fight from Brotherhood.

Greed vs Ed was beautifully orchestraed, had a stunning soundtrack and was emotionally wrenching.

Roy vs Lust had bare-chested Roy being all hot and bad-assed and stuff.

Hmmm, hmmm. Do I go with a well choreographed and dramatic fight sequence or Roy being hot? Hmmm.

Ok I go with Greed vs Ed as my favorite fight!

Do you mean Greed v. Ed where Ed kills him sort of without meaning to and then totally wigs out? Romi Park's voice acting broke my heart in that scene back when I first saw it. I get anime #1 fights all jumbled with their manga/Brotherhood equivalents now, it's been too long O_o.

Roy v. Lust raises the very important question of when and where Roy is secretly working out. Nobody with a desk job gets abs like that without trying. Other things about this fight I enjoy are its total badassery, Lust's unexpectedly sporting attitude to losing, and the fact that Roy gets a cool scar that is both fun to draw and totally matches Ed's (seatbelt called the scars "manly wedding rings" once XD).

Fight not mentioned, but one I thought was exquisitely potent was from original anime: Ed defeating Sloth/Tricia. The music, Ed's intense calm & resolve , and the way it was illustrated made it a great scene.


However, I will also enthusiastically jump on the "Roy shirtless" bandwagon. I loved that episode so much that I watched it 3-4 in a row before continuing to the next one. I think that this scene was especially great because the English voice actors have IRL chemistry. (Speaking of that chemistry, about a year ago, I remember watching an interview from a con panel with Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey discuss what the atmosphere were like at home the week that scene was recorded. It was too funny )

That was a good fight, and the cheap shots with the face changes were emotionally hard ... but I dun like how the fight ENDS. D:
