The marks on his hand are easy to make. Just cut them onto your palm, after all thats pretty much what he does.

So are you telling me there are two versions of this show, manga and anime. What's the difference. and just for the heck of it, since I know anyway, what's magna and anime?

is it comprehensible.....

Yeah there are a differences between the manga and the anime. Manly characters. There are some who just appear in the manga, and some who just appear in the anime. If i tell you anymore it would ruin the plot.

As for your second question, umm are you joking? lol

The one you watch is the anime version. The manga is at volume 34 im pretty sure, and there are 37 volumes? Someone could correct me if they know, im not 100 percent sure.

Manly Characters. LoL I meant Mainly Characters. Sorry about that.

What is the difference between these volumes? Are they all different stories or something?

is it comprehensible.....

LoL different stories? No there all Full metal alchemist, just different arcs.

✅ It is the same story just in two different ways of telling it.

i'm confused. why is it then so many different volumes and box sets and everything if there are only two stories.
And how can you have the same story and a tell it in two DIFFERENT ways, wouldn't that make it two DIFFERENT stories then?

😕

is it comprehensible.....

Over all its the same plot. But characters, and sub-plots are different. You have to take into acccount all the filler episodes the anime has sometimes.

The best thing I could say is go to a book store and see for yourself. You should see the two different volume and pick up the first book of each and compare them.

I don't know what filler episodes are and I didn't know they had books out for the show.
Do they have a book out for each episode or one book for the whole season?
Is it a book or comic book?
And is the anime and manga made by the same people?
What's the point of having an anime and manga?

is it comprehensible.....

Ok, Full Metal Alchemist is an animation adaption of a Manga. The manga was first, then the anime. Filler episodes are just episodes they throw in to occupy time so a new story line can be released in the Manga. DBZ is notorious for having filler episodes, due to have so many episodes that dont appear in the manga.

And no the anime, and Manga, are not created by the same people. Though the maker of the Manga probably had some say in the anime.

Whats the point of having comic book's, and having shows like the Justice League?

I wasn't saying there's no point, Obviously since I know little about this area, I was just asking to get an answer to better understand them.

So a manga is what the show is over in japan and when it is made for the u.s. by different people it becomes an anime.
I was trying to think about which episodes could of been filler, but they all seem pretty crucuial to the story line.
And that would mean that they were making the show over there the same time as over here, but i thought they were made over there first and then years later released over here.

And i didn't get that comic book, justice league thing.

is it comprehensible.....

LoL comic book is to manga as cartoon is to anime. Thats what im trying to tell you. A manga americanized would be considered a comic book. And not necessarily complete episodes are fillers, some parts of an episode might be a filler. IE: Winry going shopping, or the likes.

And I know you dont know much about it, I was just giving you an analogy.

if anime is the american version and anime is like cartoon, then wouldn't an americanized manga be an anime?

is it comprehensible.....

No anime is a cartoon. Manga is a book. It has nothing to do with being amarican or not.

I was trying to explain that a manga would be considered a comicbook in america. And a anime would be considered a cartoon.
