The Colonel's Girl
I know this is going to be a bit off topic, but why was i almost a scar fan? WHY?! Oh...and another off-topic thing, I drew scar...not a very good one, but i drew him...now i will shut up.

Wasn't  it in 1911 or 1910 that they attemted to resurrect their mom? so add 4 years. . . maybe time doesn't flow at the same rate in both worlds. And Maes might appear as a double, like Alphonse is a double of Al

Dear, have you forgotten when she-who-shall-not-be-named opened your dear Edo's pocket watch and saw the date 3 Oct 10, or something like that, and you got all 'That's the wrong date! It's 11 Oct 10!' So dear, it is 1910.I even have proof if you don't believe me. And they'd better have Hughes if they have a Glacier double, or this perosn will go on a mass killing spree and threaten the movie makers to remake the movie.

About the watch in the anime it says 3 oct 10 ... but that is very wrong if Ed is 15 in 1915...in the manga it is 3 oct 11 and that would make Ed indeed 15 in 1915...
they never messed up his age...just the date...if you like I can explain my full theory...just ask

Yeah...I think it's not the same rate...
And Maes doesn't die in the final episode...so who are you talking about The Colonel's Girl??

What I'm saying is that they should have kept him in the final episodes instead of having him killed, that's all.

Oke I understand...and agree with it too biggrin.gif
The Colonel's Girl
The thing that gets me is why did they mess up the date? I just can't seem to understand that at all?

So, what is your theory, Ravashi?
Ravashi
This is copied from an other tread...just so you know..

Oke I did a lot of math...oke when they transmutated their mom it was february 1910 Ed was 11 and Al was 10..good
They left on 3 oct 1910 (I'm gonna go with the anime...for now) oke...to get on the train where hughes is on will be less then a week, so not significant.
When on that episode we find out Gracia is 5 months pregnant...going 4 months from there it would be.. late Januari/begin February since the baby was early it would probably be late January..but that doesn't really matter...good
This would make Ed's birthday in January I'm not sure about Al..'cause when Ed is 16 Al is still 14 (he says that somewhere...can't remember where) So meaning Al's birthday is later in the year. Good.

Oke knowing this lets make a list:

January 1899 Ed born
January 1900 Ed 1
January 1901 Ed 2
January 1902 Ed 3
January 1903 Ed 4
January 1904 Ed 5
January 1905 Ed 6
January 1906 Ed 7
January 1907 Ed 8
January 1908 Ed 9
January 1909 Ed 10
January 1910 Ed 11
January 1911 Ed 12
January 1912 Ed 13
January 1913 Ed 14
January 1914 Ed 15
January 1915 Ed 16

Oke now here we see the problem and why we should follow the manga time (haven't read it, still should) Cause there it's 3 oct 11...making the list again it would make Ed 15 in 1915 and somewhere (I haven't refound it yet) there stands it is indeed 1915 and at that time Ed is 15...so that would mean someone made a mistake with the anime...

Oke that was my little math...you don't really need the other events, but I went through them and as I see it they follow up on my theory...just making every year go +1 would make my little list in order for the manga

And as to why they messed up the date...I have no clue...if you thought I had a theory on that...don't blame yourself...I can be really confusing sometimes...I have noticed that...
