This is best girl. Arakawa has great taste in women.
>>287538545I hate this cunt a lot.
I hate girlboss characters.
>>287538545For me its Izumi Curtis.
>>287538545She is very hot.
>>287538605Is she really a typical girlboss character though? A key aspect of girlboss characters is how condescending they are towards men and the only men she's condescending to are her brother and Mustang and both of those are for reasons other than them just being men. She's especially respectful of the men working directly under her
>>287538545>bestgirl2003 riza
>>287539097>disrespectful to men that are the same level or above her in status>only tolerates men she knows are "beneath" herThat is being a girlboss bitch, yeah.
>>287539146How is she different from Brotherhood Riza?
>>287539151Both Mustang and her brother are lower ranking in the military than her, she is disrespectful to a fellow general, but only after he reveals himself to be part of the occult glownigger conspiracy ruining the country. She disliked her brother Alex Louis Armstrong for being a pussy that disgraced their family by not being willing to commit war crimes. A hostility that she drops entirely during and after her and Alex's fight with Sloth. Her hostility towards Mustang is because she views him as a schemer and especially dislikes his ladies' man routine. There's this soft power struggle between her and Mustang during the coup that Mustang wins by virtue of having friends and allies outside of Briggs.
>>287539151Yes I too get my understanding of the world from youtubers who will turn out to be pedophiles.
>>287538545>>287538605Nah they're awesome. Ugly bastard rape hits harder when it's a girlboss.
>>28753945003 is just cuter, BH is still cute but she's a little frumpierPlus 2003 has the feet licking scene
Arakawa knew the way to not make her horribly insufferable was to give her a motherly side. Now that I think about it she did that with basically all the female characters
>>287539879>Arakawa knew the way to not make her horribly insufferableShe didn't.
>>287539879She can't stop herself from making 10/10s
>>287538545would have been better if she was as tall as her brother or even taller
>>287538545the armstrong family had 10/10 women and men
>>287539879I thought part of Ed’s character, maybe more in the 03 version, was looking for a mother (and surrogate family in general) figure to fill the void of the dead one.
>>287540259It's definitely much stronger in 03 especially with characters like Maria Ross but it is true a running theme of the manga and brotherhood is that most of the adult characters see the brothers as kids without parental figures in their lives and empathize with them heavily.
>>287538545hell yeah motherfucker
>>287539844NTA but yeah, '03 has a better art style than Brotherhood. I never quite liked how Windy just kinda has a shovel face near the end of the end of Brotherhood, specially since she was cuter before the promised day arc
>>287538545>This is best girl.That would be Lan Fan.
>>287541253Agreed
>>287539151That's better than the other way around.
>>287539844I really like this uniform on her. Military girls are cute.
>>287538545I originally watched FMA about 10 years ago, and perhaps I'm misremembering something and she had some positive qualities I overlooked back then, but I never liked her. She was too much of an asshole for my taste and not even a cool one to begin with. Risa was honestly the only female character in FMA that I liked.
>>287538545>big lipsDoesn't look good on anime characters. They always end up looking like botox.
>>287543142boob tent + high-waisted skirt is a beautiful combo
>>287543307filtered
>>287543307Nah, big lipped anime girls are hot.
>>287539879>Arakawa knew the way to not make her horribly insufferable was to make her look like 80s Kim Basingerftfy
>>287538545She certainly gives Best Girl a run for her money; I'll give her that.
>>287543775Jojofags genuinely have the biggest shit taste imaginable. Fucking insufferable retards.
>>287538545She doesn't do anything
>>287546474She does plenty of things to my dick.
>>287538545Why do they all have such plump lips?
>>287540259>>287540305They don’t really follow up with that inclusion for Maria in 03 though. I don’t even think they actually interacted after that episode. What’s actually true is that 03 Ed pushes away any sort of familial/adult guardian figure. >>287541243It’s a stark contrast with the manga lol, I think BH was trying to make them all look older.
>>287547140To kiss you better.
>>287547140Also named Olivier.
>>287547140Eh, only Armstrong's look plump here.
>>287545101
>>287547937What's this?
>>287547999Gacha garbage I think
>>287548073Looks trashy but Sukeban Olivier is hot so it's acceptable
>>287539844>the feet licking sceneI'm sorry, the what now?
>le girlbossShe is portrayed as a competent mean cunt, did you really think the audience was supposed to root for her while she looked down on her brother for breaking down because he didn't want to kill innocent civilians? You're not using this terminology correctly.
>>287548151>>287547762
>>287547370Underrated show with some really hot girls.
>>287548151Sorry for dubhttps://youtu.be/Z7ghodu0ixM?si=dSoZcEXQdePWWU2w
>>287548510Adorable and wew lad
>>287539146>>287539450I feel Riza did nothing in the 03 show.
>>287548379Agreed.
>>287540177Where is this from?
>>287548547FMA03 didn't really get to tie up loose ends in the same way FMAB did
>>287548766Silver Spoon
>>287548780FMABs end was definitely more satisfying for everyone.
>>287549781It was a pretty satisfactory ending
>>287538545Lan Fan is too cute and best girl. How is she so cute? Ling Yao won so hard.
>>287543248>Risa was honestly the only female character in FMA that I likedSame. Her and Mustang were the best by far.
>>287545101the sheer AMOUNT of sex that Riza owes me...
>>287551009Chin/a/ girls are always the cutest.
>>287548547She didn’t. They even broke her relationship with Mustang in the movie for some reason.>>287551009She was the only Xing character I liked. I could never see the appeal of Ling and Mei was annoying. I wish Greed survived and stayed with her instead of Ling. She’s also capable of fighting unlike Riza even though she’s just a chink version of her (Ling is a lamer chink version of Mustang too)
