Fullmetal Alchemist 2003
For the month of December 2020, I fixated heavily on a Conqueror of Shamballa's movie-exclusive character, Alfons Heiderich. To people familiar with Fullmetal Alchemist, he is the alternate version of Alphonse Elric who lives in our real world during 1920s Germany working as a rocket scientist. Sadly, the sequel movie barely gave him any screen time even though he had a very interesting backstory and thematic motivation. In fact, the whole movie was thematically interesting but left a lot of things open. If the term "blorbo from my shows" existed during that time, I would have called Alfons Heiderich that. Some of these fan art I have posted online on social media (they are watermarked) but not all.
If you have only watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, you will be confused. Go watch the 2003 anime and then Conqueror of Shamballa. I promise you its worth it.
