Hohenheim is on point but Bradley isn't doing it for me. Maybe it's just a bad shot. He doesn't look tough enough.

I was skeptical at first but live action Hohenheim is hot and this is enough to sell me on these movies.

I've heard criticism before of how the actors in these movies don't look like their characters, and from what I've seen they are right. But Van Hohenheim, and a to a lesser extent King Bradley, actors look like their characters. Hohenheim is a dead ringer.

Is this the opposite of white-washing? Asian-washing? Laughing

@Fenrin Hohenheim is indeed spot-on! For me thought, it's more on Olivier! I feel like the makeup is too heavy. But if I honestly disregard that, the hairstyle and Chiaki Kuriyama-san is an awesome pick! Watching her on Kill Bill, definitely she will pull it off beautifully~! Very Happy

@enurtsol Well, we can't really say that... after all, FMA was created by a Japanese in the first place. >.< They know what they gotta do~ and as much as the main setting is Western-style, there's still no doubt that they are absolutely trying their best to be accurate with the characters and storyline.
