Can't believe I've missed this topic...then again I have none of the manga. I really should start to get it.

People did keep saying there were more hints in the manga...and from what I've read here it sounds about right.

I feel all warm inside

Someone restart the anime topic of EdxWin it got lost in the pile again 0_0 poor EdxWin it was so sweet though the manga *nods*

oh, arakawa's sneaky. a tiny hint, perhaps?

http://www.livejournal.com/community/fm_al...647.html#cutid1

Yay for the above picture.

Would an Ed/Win fan please post on the anime Ed/Win topic. I was last so I can't do it again.

Sure you can, all you have to do is Edit your post!!

But, really, that was AWESOME!!! GO-MARU-SAN!!!! YAY!!

Haha, Arakawa is awesome. XD

^In total agreement.

Wow, this must mean Arakawa pays quite a bit of attention to the fandom, if she knows about 503...

503! she's awesome but I wonder why Winry and Edward are called 503? Ahwell she's sneaky!

If you're wondering about why they're referred to as 503, then why are you saying Arakawa is awesome?!

The use of '503' is the reason some fans think there's a EdxWin connection(look through the mentioned link a bit deeper).

To summarize, for those who don't want to follow the link, there is a Japanese jeans company called Edwin that has a particular brand of jeans called 503. (Brad Pitt did commercials for them. ^^;;)

Therefore, Edward+Winry=Edwin=503. Very clever. We should add that to the Orange/Apple codes. XD

She is awesome I'm just wondering at the same time why "503" means EdxWin. I will look at the link deeper.

To help you...

Hint: Brad Pitt (just look through the links there)

Thanks Guest I checked I understand now XD I would have never guess that Brad Pitt and EdxWin are related 0_0.

well, when i think about it now i think it would actually be easier for Ed to settle down rather than Al, because you have to take into account that Edward needed to write in his pocketwatch the day he burned his home so he wouldnt forget that he needed to keep moving on, however Alphonse did nothing of the sort

and im Ed/Win as well as new here

That 503 thing was really fun!

But what amused me a lot - is that in ch.44 Ed was askind Winry about marriage matter I think it's really fun!

He was having the hardest time asking Winry Perhaps one time he'll pop up the question.

Now look what you did

*goes off into fantasy world of EdWin with starry eyes*

GAH! Me, too! Now I have fanart ideas!

*bangs head against keyboard*

Considering the thread of why people hate Winry and/or EdWin is kinda dying in my opinion, I began to wonder why people like the pairing and figured it might make a good discussion in critiquing one of the most popular het pairings in the fandom.

Please keep in mind that the purpose of this thread is critique. You can't just say "OMG, they are soooooooooo kuuuuttttteee together!!!!1111onesie" and leave it at that. Think it through. Give a reason. Why does it appeal to you?

EdWin haters/dislikers/unsupporters/indifferent are welcome to leave their opinions as well.

As for me, the reason EdWin appeals to me so much is because I am very partial to FemDom relationships! Not that I'm an active femininest or anything, I just find those situations hilarious. XD C'mon, everyone knows Winry would give Ed the run for his money. She would be the one wearing the pants around here, and, because she's nice like that, will occasionally let Ed think *he* has the upper-hand. She beat the crap out of him only to give him a sweet kiss later making our poor little Edward wonder what the heck he had just gotten himself into and yet at the same time unable to leave (as in leave the relationship, not travel b/cuz he has things to do ya know).

On a more serious note, I believe that Winry is the only character (female-wise, anyway) that can truly understand Ed for who and what he is. He needs someone who knows he has much to accomplish and who doesn't expect him to stay put for very long b/cuz she knows deep down that he will always come back.

Well, I don't know why but I don't like anime/manga where is romance. O.O Of course there must be a little or else it would not be fine. This doesn't mean I like series where is only blood, guns and other horrible things. But somehow, I don't like it. It doesn't bother me if people want make doujinshi's or fanfics 'bout Edos and Winry's or Mustang's and Hawkeye's romance, not at all.
I'm kind of weirdo, sigh..

I'm not into open romance at all. I prefer the question of 'are they?'. That way I get to look for myself and decide what I want to decide. Most of my favourite anime have this aspect in them. Jessie/James used to be the best part of Pokemon for me. In the case of Cardcaptors it was slightly more obvious but I also like that revelation at the end. I like them figuring out that they were in love all along.
Thats what I want to happen in the case of EdWin. As I say I can keep a look out for hints that they care and put my own interpretations to events that occur between them.
Plus there is a whole world of EdWin out there that I love spending time exploring. I love to write and anime romance such as the EdWin lets me decide what (if anything) will happen between them.
As you say, she just seems the best for him. She is understanding but not overtly soppy. When he feels the need to settle down, we know she will be there waiting for him. And that thought makes me smile.
The only problem with this is if nothing happens I can feel really dissapointed. Thats sad I know, but I just put so much hope into things. But in the end, Jessie and James got together, Sakura and Li confessed their love etc. Maybe I'm onto another winner here. I hope I am at least.

shardypsykoelf, your sig makes me laugh each time I see it. I love it...now we know why he visits hey?

Sorry for the offtopic!

Chiyo

Ah, they really do??? Really? I never thought about this pairing before, but now if to think about it... seems so... hilarious. So they officially got together??

^___________________^

Tobu Ishi
Oh, I see.
W-wait a m-minute... she's PREGNANT?! OMG!

0_0 I cannot believe it, oh ya shouldn't this be dicuss in the EdxWinry topic? WOAH

i still haven't seen enough ed/winry interactions to decide how they are as a couple (only seen like 6 episodes of the anime and up to chapter 15 in manga), but they seem like a cute couple. and Winry just seems like the kinda girl who will always be there for Ed, through thick and thin. Ed seems to mean the world to her (right up there with automail ) and wouldn't leave his side until the end.

btw, i LOVE your sig! i almost laughed out loud at it.

Oh Tobu I love that pic...I even made a wallpaper of it once...

Quit getting off topic in my thread! >.<

KIDDING!!!


Wow, J&J got together? You know I knew there was something going on between those two, especially in the first movie where they freak out and James is hugging her kinda low....O.O



I know what you mean about romance mangas. Don't particularly like them myself. Some of them are okay (and the ones where the main character has a significant other only to realize that they desire someone else is very intriguing). That's one reason why the Sailor Moon series turned me off because Serena/Darian's relationship almost seemed too good to be in the least bit realistic.

But at the same time, when a desired pairing doesn't get together in the end, it is very disappointing. Especially when it looks so obvious that they're in love (or at least, have enough sexual tension between them )

I agree with a lot of the other people here. Winry is probably the only girl who can understand Ed well enough. After all, she grew up with him, knew how kind his mother was (so she doesn't blame him for trying something foolish) and always shows up to give him a hand when he needs it. (And they do look very cute together~ )

Um...about the Jessie/James picture...that was from a Pocket Monsters manga (it was one of those random drawings used to fill in blank pages)...and it doesn't coincide with the actual anime...

That may be so, but I still love it. They still got together after all even if it was in the manga

I had that manga too. Good times, good times.

There is a lot of EdxWinry in the manga. Stating that Ed wanted to marry her when she was 4, him thinking she was cute (hospital), and that odd scene in chapter 43 (I think) with the chinese guy and how she said something about being devoted to ed and wouldn't marry the chinese guy.

I need more 503 . I think I'm going through withdraws , because I get kinda cranky if I can't find any new fanart/fanfiction . I guess I'll have to make some of my own... But I doubt they'll be any good *sits down in a school desk and starts writing*

Edward: *has an OOC moment* EARTHQUAKE TEST! *grabs the back of Hex-Sama's desk seat and shakes it violently a few times and then flips the desk over*
YOU FAILED ! Now you can't pass "go" and collect $200 *is refering to Monopoly*

Hex-Sama: *chucks her notebook at his head and hits him*

Edward: ... Ow ! What was that for?

Hex-Sama: Go hang out with Winry or something *picks the desk back up and starts writing again*

Edward: I don't know . She's being acting kinda moody lately, and she gets sick in the morning sometimes. Plus she had some weird food cravings the other day. Oh... *whispers* don't tell her, but I think she's been gaining a little bit of wieght lately.

Hex-Sama: *sarcastically* Well, we can tell from those signs she's not pregnant.

Edward: *serious* Of course not .



@Chiyo: Is that Love Cherry site ganna post more fanart ? I want more!*cries*

@shardypsykoelf: Nice sig. I laughed my @$$ off when I saw it

LOL!!! That sounds like Shardypsykoelf's sig!! I lmao too when I saw it!!!

Hey do you remember the chapter where Ed ended up in the hospital? That go maru san scene, where he said she was cuter than he thought... Have you ever thought what would happen if Winry started to act real cute around him? I think I know...

Really
Anybody have a picture link or somwthing? That sounds interesting.

@SweetJanie: I was inspired by shardypsykoelf's signature, so I had to do a mini skit .

I remember that scene, and I've talked about it a few times on the forum also. I think Edward would only let his feelings for Winry spill out if they got to an extreme, where he couldn't hold back anymore. So if she did start acting cute infront of him all the time... Well, you already know .

Wow, I inspire people. *_*

Ed Plushie: Correction...you SCARE people.


Oh, and it's just Shardy.


Winry would act cute, and then my siggie really would come true!! >=D

I really am not sure, I do keep a look out though.
*sigh* I have seen some good fanfics today. I think I may waste my time and write another myself.

Hoho, Jessie has got a short hair. Good good.

Possibly a new fanfic from Chiyo!?!? YAAAAAY!

Yukina Raven: Not fair!! I have that pic as a sig in another forum too!! XD

Lol, yeah!! I'm making a fanfic about that!! It all starts when Winry and Riza meet in Central and decide to act 'cute' around their love ones!
Only problem is that I have no idea how to end the fic...hum...maybe it'll end with Shardy's sig!!

@SweetJanie: Your fanfic sounds interesting . Tell me when you post the first chapter and I'll definately read it

Does anybody what the letter said when Edward wrote to Winry in the early episodes? It was when he was staying with Tucker and Nina. If anybody knows, I'd like to hear about what it said, please . I guess I won't know until the second DVD comes out .

@SweetJanie: Hehehe... great minds know a good picture when they see one, ne?

@Hex-Sama: I don't believe we ever hear what the letter said exactly. I could be wrong, though.

Raven: I love your sig *dies* THEY LOOK SO DAMN CUTE IN THAT PICTURE *gets all girly*

Okay!! Tomorrow I'll type it and put it on fanfiction, k? Then I'll PM you if you want!!

Yeah...Raven's sig's great...love that pic!!!

There's so few EdXWin fanart...GOOD fanart, I mean...I draw a lot, but I don't like my drawings... O_O

@SweetJanie: Thanks ! I agree with you about finding good Ed/Winry fanart. I've found a few good ones... Well, they look okay to me anyways . I bet your a great artist . You should post some fanart and see what people think of it before you go and judge yourself .

No we don't...I may have to go back and pause my DVD. Something about it 'being easy' if I recall correctly.

Aaaw, you're a sweetie!!! *hugs* If I find them I'll post them!!! And I'm sorry but today I can't type the fic...I have a school work to do...damn philosophy!!! But when I do I'll PM you, k? Thanks Hex!!!

Ah, here it is! The original Ed/Winry Thread I followed when I first joined this forum... *nostalgic*

cool, I didnt know that there were so many more win X edo lover out there...

@Chiyo: I managed to read a few words from the letter too. I read something about 'being suprised' or something like that. You should look at it, since you have the DVD. I have to wait tell April to get the english DVD .

@SweetJanie: No rush. I understand about homework . Since I don't have a study hall, the homework just piles up . I swear, at the end of the day, my backpack must way atleast 20lbs .

Anyways, back to the main topic. There are some official pictures that have Edward, Winry, Roy, and Riza in them. Roy and Riza usually stand together, and Edward and Winry stand together... Well, Winry is kinda dragging Edward away in one of them . They must have been shopping, because Edward was holding some bags. I also happened to notice that Winry can't keep her hands to herself when Edward is in the picture. In one she has her hands on his shoulder and in quite a few other pictures, she has her arm linked with his. You'd think Edward would react to something like that... But he doesn't, he even winks in one of them . Possible evidence?
