I've always read it as at least a little bit a comment on the Iraq war, but what's it's deal? It's the only anime I can think of that climaxes with a military coup, and its cool that mustang wants to put people on trial for war crimes, but then he gets in power and doesn't do it.
It's also just got a whole plotline about racism, but it feels slightly off? Like minorities are okay if they save your life.
Matt Christman said something to that effect the other day and I thought it was brilliant. "liberalism cannot fail, it can only be failed"
what ep ws that?
572, maybe 571. I tend to catch up and listen to a couple of eps in one go.
ooohh that's a good one
