Absolutely nothing would change in my life. I never was addicted to fma in the first place.

I would have missed out on a new fuel source for my creativity, Furher King Bradley, a brilliant narrative, and Anime in general. I was pretty much turned off towards the medium until I found FMA. Now that I'm ever so slightly more open-minded, I've found other great Anime shows I would have totally missed out on, like Samurai Champloo.

Oh, yeah, and me and one of my friends wouldn't pretend to blowing each other up a la' Zolf J. Kimbley style.

i have never thought of such a thing.my life would probably be a little weird i guess

I attend law prep high school in Alexandria...

I would've done my projects in time if only I din't spend all of my time trying to find

OVA version of Full Metal Alchemist.

If there was Winry, I'd marry her. If I was female, I'd marry Ed!

It's because FMA was there for me!

If there was no FMA... I'd be getting A's in my Judication II Honors...

There would be a lot of philosophical issues in life I would never have touched on, and a lot of debates I would never have experienced.

Life as I know it would cease to exist. My laptop would have a lot more local disk drive left, I would have gotten 2,000,000,000 more hours of sleep, I would be about $215,343,615,475,474 dollars richer, and I wouldn't have a stalker-ish folder of Roy, Ed, Al, Havoc, etc, etc.

There would still be a lot of life lessons that I missed out on.

With all of that said, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

hmm lets see if i never had fma in my life i would be so quiet in school you'd think i wasnt even there and i wouldnt draw as good as i do today

I'd probably be glued to Love Hina.
btw I'm new, so, hi to all!

This is a lot of people's first anime/manga it seems...

I'd still be addicted to Love Hina and Trigun, I guess.

i've thought about that before and i don't really know what i would be doing with my life right now

i would have probolly had so much time on my hands i would have gotton into drugs! *gasp*
I LOVE YOU FMA *hugs*

You're from Gaia aren't you? Please don't type in bold Size 7. It's retarded and will get people pissed at you.

WELCOME!

No more alternatives for Naruto... back to the PC days again.

I WOULD DIE!

well...i'd never know what anime is and i'd probably be draining my life away watching some horrible 4kids anime that i did'nt know was anime at all! >__<


a-a-and i'd never of met you all ;_;
do you know what this means?



GROUP HUG!!!! *huggles*

I would still be thinking "Fooly Cooly" is my favorite anime - instead of my (barely) 2nd choice.

Plus, I would be really quite bored. After I first began watching FMA, I began searching out more info on the backstory. On an anime forum, I first heard about Fanfiction.net and after checking that site out, my desire to write fiction reawakened after a roughly 5 year hiatus! (Holy writer's block! )

well, if i wasnt addicted to fma, i wouldnt probably be stuck to the computer all the time surfing thru fullmetal-alchemist.com... i would have read more books, i would probably have stayed out later more often (coz i had to be home on time for the show). i wouldnt miss roy so much - wahahaha - i wouldnt be editing and posting so much wallpapers in the gallery about fma... well, not much would change, when i think about it. i was already addicted to photoshopping even before fma came along...

What would I do? Heh. Well lets do the cons first. I wouldnt have one of my best friends (I hated her until I found we had something in common - FMA - and then I got to know her). I would probably be killed by my cousin (He was the one who got me into FMA, funny story really, he was playing the game and I saw Al and I said "Who's that robot dude?" and he- I swear I thought he could kill me with the look. He explained that Al was Ed's younger brother and he was a person, not a robot, he then grabbed me by the collar of my shirt, brought me to the computer and made me watch the first two episodes, we were halfway through the third when I had to leave ). Um... I would probably still be more depressed over Harry Potter. Thats a long boring depressing story though. As for some not-so-bad things... I would have more space on my computer thats for sure, I would be on different websites, I wouldnt have gone to an emergency psychologist the night I saw the last episode (I have psychological problems, depression for one, what happens is I get upset over something like what happens at the end of the show, then I get angry at myself for being stupid and do less-than-healthy things to myself) , I would probably be less stressed, my friend would not be doing her homework (She gets on the computer to RP with me and does her homework at the same time). Although she may pay more attention in class if she wasn't bolding anything she saw that had the word "Ed" or "Al" in it or "Major" or something to that extent. Oh well, I'm happy with my obsession, so is she.

If I wasn't addicted to FMA then I would probably be addicted to some other anime. Like Inuyasha or Samurai Champloo. Something else that comes on late at night. Don't get me wrong, I love those animes too but I just love FMA more. If instead of being addicted to FMA or any other anime I would probably actually do my chores and school work (when I had it, I just graduated) or be on the computer a lot more. Although I'm on it a lot.

...I would probably still have my best friend... No I'm just joking. I'd probably never get into philosophy, or watch 5 hours of FMA just because I saw Edwards brand pie at Wal-Mart...
I think I would have found something else to be obsessed with.

at this moment my brain can't even comprehend it! -i mean .... no role model, nothing to stay up late and watch, nothing to obsess over, that would be a big change! i mean, i think i'd go crazy -ed is SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!

If I never watched FMA

• I would've never have seen Ed and his hottness
• I would've never became an Otaku
• I would've never known about alchemy. (Well, I wouldn't say never.)
• I wouldn't be addicted to creating AMVs
• I would've never have thought twice about the taste of milk
• I would've never have wished that I grew up in a rural town
• I wouldn't have started reading mangas
• I wouldn't have ever gone on the Internet
• I would still be watching crappy American shows
• I wouldn't have about 50 (Or some other double-digit number) FMA songs on my iPod
• I wouldn't have an iPod
• I wouldn't have gotten into J-Rock
• I would've went to war without a second thought.
• etc.
• (I wouldn't have made this list.)

I'd have a life if I wasn't a fma fan XP But hey, it's hard to resist fma!

I dunno, I probably wouldn't be all that different than I am today. :/ I'm not a total FMA-moron, FMA has its flaws, it isn't the greatest anime ever, but I still like the originality of the concept and unique art style.

I probably would have froze to death during winter, though. xD I wore my FMA hoodie all through winter.

I probably wouldn't have gotten into other animes and mangas, like Chobits and Love Hina. My first manga was FMA (if you don't count the Legend of Zelda ones I downloaded), and I liked it enough to get a few more.

One of my online friends would freak out at me. She's an FMA dork.

I wouldn`t met this forum, I wouldn`t have known that Alchemy is the mother of the chemistry. Iwouldn`t buoght my FMA shirt. I wouldn`t have known what the song that a band of a event sang . I wouldn`t stay up this late to get in or post on another forum. I wouldn`t been a FMA fan.

Hmm, let's see...

I'd be able to sleep on Friday Nights after fma, seeing as I wouldn't be wondering what would happen in the next episode.

I'd actually have studied for my Science exam rather than dive through my textbook looking up stuff on alchemy.

I wouldn't spend so much time looking up stuff on alchemy and fma in any aspects of my life and have a lot more free time.

My life would be boring without fma, plain and simple. It's something that I look forward to every Friday and if they ever stopped showing it, I'd die. :3 but Youtube has saved me countless times when I couldn't wait for Friday.

A little off-topic, but the first thing that came to mind when I first heard 'Full Metal Alchemist' was a mad scientist... It sounded kind of weird at first but I got hooked the first time I saw it and mentally beat myself for having doubted it xD

If I'd never seen fma, then my Birthday list would probably consist of more things than "Anything to do with Full Metal Alchemist."

Not...much different, methinks. O.o

I would probably be just as obsessed with Seto Kaiba and Yuugiou as I was before I watched FMA...after I watched FMA I became less obsessed with Kaiby and a bit more with Roy. xDDD

But then I wonder what would've help fill the void I felt once YGO ended. YGO was sadly a large part of my life for 5 years and the ending was so disappointing (good idea, bad pulling it off). I still love it however regardless. But, even tho I started watching FMA BEFORE YGO ended, I found my FMA obsession was able to help me...cope with the crappiness of the final YGO episode and the end of such a long obsession.

....

The YGO dork will be silent now. *shuffles into a corner*

I agree with Fushigi...

I guess it is my philosophy that a manga or an anime can't dramatically affect your life. If there was no FMA, I would have spent my time finding another anime to watch. You guys must admit that there are animes or mangas that are as cool as FMA.

However, I am still glad that I was able to watch everything I can possible watch things that are related to FMA.

i would be in love with yu gi oh and i would be probably a money saver and wouldnt save on the manga and dvd... T_T

ey...good question...I have never thought about a thing like that!!! >_<
It would be so bad because is one of my favorite series..well for the other hand I would have a little more money..jeje but I would finish with my obsession with roy and the homunculus...
the only good thing is that I woulb be obssesed with get backers..but I would miss fma very much..and all its characters!!!!!

well i'd get alot more done, have alot more money, but then i think i'd have so much time i'd get bored and not know what to do...

My life would be boring. Or I'd still be obesessed with FB

If I wasn't addicted to FMA, that could only mean I haven't watched the show. If I didn't watched the show, then how could I miss something that I never knew existed? So, since I wouldn't miss it at all, life would continue as normal for me; just as it did before FMA and just as it does after FMA.

No, Colonel, there's no way you wouldn't know what FMA was considering you're my best friend. So, technically, if you didn't know what FMA was, you probably wouldn't know me!

Ain't you glad you like FMA?

hahaha

Hi! I'm from Argentina and I'm not to write much English..but I will attempt it ^^
good.. my boring serious life.. because I would not know that to make in intenet one weekend x'D
Greetings and I hope to know them to al =D

omg, YGO person! =D

*clings to you like a leech* FRIEND. 8D


Yay, logic! xDDD Can't miss something you never knew!

Fushigi Rockna,

Exactly ! On the contrary, I’m happy Full Metal Alchemist exists and that I have the chance to experience it. I watched some good animes in the past, as well as read decent manga, but nothing comes to par like Full Metal Alchemist. I’m at the point where I am trying to find a manga or anime that will captivate me emotionally in the same way FMA did (which I miss dearly), yet I haven’t been successful. Hopefully, someone would be inspired enough to make something great once more, in the near future.

Hibishi,

You’re from Argentina, eh? That’s cool ! My late mother was from Honduras and she didn’t speak or understand English either. She was able to learn by being around people that only spoke English and picking up their words. Slowly she was able to read and write it, but I notice that many of the people I know who don’t speak English learned in similar ways. So, you’re doing the right thing. You’ll learn a lot just by being here. Therefore, just keep trying and eventually you will become better at it. ^.^

Whaha? My life'd be very boring and I'd get to finish my school work slowly and I might have lower grades... I dunno why I suddenly studied
so much after I watched FMA....

If I hadn't been addicted to FMA.... I'd probably be addicted to something less.... interesting.
Also, that would probably mean that I've never had seen the show (because that's what got me started) which means I wouldn't watch adult swim (which I love) leaving me with no life what-so-ever

>_> I'd also probably bond more with my friends who don't really like manga/anime.

i'd be the same, still watchin animes, and going outside. but fullmetal is a part of me i won't let go

Well, I would still be exclusively a shoujo anime fan, I wouldn't have had a depression of a whole month for some forum issues, I wouldn't have to turn off my PC every night in order to pay a DVD-Box...

And, I would have never met some wonderful persons I know ^^, I would have never followed a manga (I'm lazy to read xD), I would have never found some wonderful download resources I know now , I would have never known LiveJournal...

In conclusion, my online life would be really boring ^^

It's been years since I had been following a recent anime All the animes I like have ended a long time ago...
And, you know what? I love it. I love keeping contact with the fandom and staying tuned on the last news ^^
I wish I could have started watching FMA before ^^

-i would still be fawning over naruto (not that i'm not. )
-i would be very bored here (since there's no tv, and i just watch fma on my brother's laptop)
-i would never have known Envy :3, Pride ~: >, and the rest of "FMA High".
-i would never have found it funny that i'm taller than my older sib (although it would seem funny if i didn't watch FMA but still watched School Rumble though...)

and finally

-i would've saved a lot of money
(because i spend all of my free time surfing the net for FMA stuff, and talking to the clan)


...but who cares?? FMA forever!!! woot!

I would still have my money. And I would not understand my science lessons!

:unsure:Well i never thougth that way if i wasnt a ADDICTED FMA FAN well: I wouldnt scream, beg or, still hate fma like i used too. i will never think of alchemy and and specially, i wont go Aaah and go mushy and remember EDDY in my head I LOVE U EDWARd!!! LOOk at my name it's sammyxeddy its obvious that i love eddo!


[attachmentid=6794][attachmentid=6793]

Hmm.. if I hadn't of gotten into FMA..

Well for a start, my bank account would still of had more money in there.. completely untouched and being spent on nothing.

There would be no pictures of FMA on the computer.. and they wouldn't have their own special section in my photobucket account.

I never would of found this place o.o`

My brain would probably of been dead, since I wouldn't of come across a thread on character ages..and then spent all day looking up on possible birthdates and matching character's personalities with traits from a particular starsign or chinese zodiac sign... nor would I of fixed Greed's birthdate ( homunculous-wise) as 1715.

I never would of known anything about alchemy or finding out about the real Hoenheim.

Me and my sis never would of had those fun FMA role-play's that we do.

I never would've known about any of the characters!

And I wouldn't of got out of my artists block either.. being as the characters inspired me to draw more pictures.

I also wouldn't of made the decision to seriously become an illustrator, since looking at the section of Arakawa and her work-place in the Full Metal Alchemist profiles book, confirmed that you can even have your studio in your own home.. and I'm more than willing to take on getting something done before a deadline.

Hey, Annoying Fangirl sammyxeddy. Don't post pictures that don't have anything to do with your post.

Firstly I would have never realized that snapping your fingers may cause a fire. Secondly, i would have never found out what 'the greatest anime' show would be, and lastly, I wouldn't be in this forum right now.

Heh, I like that one!!

oh, and a lot of things would be different, because after discovering fma, i found this site, and about a million things came off of this site and, in turn, fma, so, I guess a lot would be different!!

I never regret for being addicted to FMA... Actually I've learnt a lot from it, like the basic rule, the Equivalent Trade... And I'm happy whenever I see Ed's cute face... I guess... I'd be bored?

I don't think my life would be really different without FMA. It is a great thing and my favourite anime/manga, but it's not like it changed my life or anything. Well, maybe it got me more interested in chemistry...

I wouldn't call myself addicted....but it is one of my favourite forms of anime-related fangirlishness. Oh, I would have one less forum to waste my time reading. Now that *is* the best form of procrastination....
