Okay, so I heard that back in 2005 that Fma was really popular.
I knew that Fma used to be popular, so when it wasn't that popular anymore, I started reading the manga, and shortly started watching the anime.

My thought is, how come all of a sudden people are getting into Fma in massive numbers? Like, a few months ago, nobody really talked about Fma anymore, but now recently, a whole bunch of people are slowly putting Fma on the verge of becoming the new Naruto. Maybe Fma's popularity will slowly come down a bit, for all I know. But Fma's sudden spike in popularity just makes me wonder why now...

(My fear is that if Fma become really popular, it might gain a retarded fanbase that will make the smart fans look stupid -_-" )

I blame the dude that answers everyone's letters in Anime Insider magazine(which I read...). He put a full list of names mocking anime fans in the magazine. Of course I saw that FullMetal Alchemist was among them; be prepared to be called a "FoolMetal Alchemist." rolleyes I so lol'd when I first read that...it's not as bad as "Narutard..."

BUT ANYWAY....yeah, I don't really know anybody in real life who knows what "a Fma" is anyway. -_- My friend Noel knows, but that's it....and I never hear about it either(I dont have an anime/manga meeting place crying ). Only twice:

~I was in Barnes and Nobles in the manga section, and I was holding the Al plushie I made. There was this girl who looked at it at first and then was like, "I know who that is, hold on-!" and they were guessing until I finally just told them. Then they were like, "Oh yeah! My friend's all into that now. That's cool that you made that though!" and she left.

~I was in a Hot Topic somwhere not anywhere near my house....but anyway, I was looking at some scarves on sale for 2 bucks and this girl comes up to me and is like, "Is that Ed??" and I'm like, "Lolz no it's Al from the movie," and she said, "Oh yeah, it looks exactly like him! Where did you buy that???!!" and I told her I made it, then she took a look at him, and she was talking about how she saw the movie and how she loves Fma. Ah, good times.

LOLZ true. I'm not going to let noobs ruin it for me...(not like all noobs are bad though O_o)

And yeah; the only thing posers know how to say is like, "ED ROCKZZZZ" or something. O_O Though some actual fans do say that.....OH! What about anybody who calls themself a fan but can't spell alchemist right? Because that word is right in the title. O_o

That's exactly what I'm talking about! Last time someone posted a Fma thing where you answer these like, 15 questions. Their spelling and grammar was WAY off, they spelled really simple words wrong. So I answered the questions but told them how to spell right in between, and they were like, "I don't care if I can't spell" and I replied back, "I don't care either but you're making the rest of us Fma fans look stupid." He didn't reply back I think after that. razz
