Great video! And I agree - especially since much of the genius of FmaB lies in the story... trying to lull us in a sense of security by casting Ed as the "typical Shonen protagonist" only to unveil his multiple distinct characteristics. Much like Luffy or Allen or Naruto, Ed (at first glance) is the "punch first, ask questions later" type of character. He's a bit cocky, has a large personality and an even louder mouth, yells a lot, and cannot deal with authority - and that's exactly what Arakawa wants us to think. Before the rug is pulled out from under us, by reminding us that Ed is a child in an adults world. Unlike Naruto or One Piece or Bleach, the world of FmaB isn't build around the concept of teenage heroes. Edward being a child in the military isn't treated as a cool feature, but a symptom of the corrupt system. Argh, I am rambling. There's just so many layers to Ed's character and all the ways he's typical and atypical, but I don't want to distract from the point I was trying to make: Great video
FMAB is the best shounen and in my opinion the best anime of all times. I can see it over and over again without getting sick of it, cause is such a good anime. I know that some people prefer the old version cause is more serious and yada yada, but FMAB doesen't to be that serius and dark to be a good anime -not me a fangirl
He is the generic shounen protagonist thoooou Bro you talk about gon but he is not the generic one ( kinda but not ) because when he saw killua killed a man front of his eyes but gon doesn't careless about it , and why you didn't talk about our "TATAKAE" boi , because he build defferent than your Edward boi
