Full metal alchemist live action review7/23/2023 They learn of the Philosopher's Stone, which has the power to recover Alphonse's body. In the aftermath, younger brother Alphonse lost his entire body and his older sibling Edward an arm and a leg. The story, briefly, goes like this: In an effort to resurrect their dead mother, the Elric brothers had embarked on a dangerous and prohibited human alchemy project. Japanese fans are used to loving this like an old and trusted friend. And what better vehicle than Fullmetal Alchemist, the story of two brothers who are genius alchemists on a quest to find the mysterious Philosopher's Stone and make themselves (and the world) a little better? The original manga is retro-cute, with faux-science themes and a whiff of Harry Potter, and it has already spawned anime movies and TV series. We're ready for something stylish and fantastical, with moments of hilarity to alleviate the seriousness. “ Full Metal Alchemist the Revenge of Scar” does not reach the levels of some of the recent anime adaptations, as in the case of “Rurouni Kenshin” or “Mole Song”, but still emerges as an entertaining watch, particularly due to its action scenes, that will satisfy both fans of the original and of sci-fi movies.The timing is right: After Ghoul and Titan, moviegoers and anime fans alike are a little fed up with flesh-eating gore fests. Probably the best trait of the presentation of the story is the gradual revealing of a bigger conspiracy that is going on within the army, and the role the Fuhrer on the one side, and Mustang on the other, are to play in it going forward, with this aspect also benefiting significantly from the rather cool rendition of the two characters by Hiroshi Tachi and Fujioka respectively. The subtle moments of humor, though, are quite entertaining, with Ryosuke Yamada's enervation as Elric, every time someone mentions his height, and Dean Fujioka's realization that his powers are useless during the rain as Roy Mustang being the apogee of this trait. On the other hand, when there is no action, the movie truly suffers, also due to the aforementioned fact, of trying to squeeze all those characters and episodes in one film, making it really hard for any viewer to empathize, or even remember them after a fashion. Also of note is how close to the original the appearance of all the characters is, in a testament to the quality of the production, with the combination of Keiji Hashimoto's cinematography, Takeshi Shimizu's production design and Rie Nishihara's costumes resulting in a rather impressive outcome, even if the blond hair does not always work. Particularly the fact that the brothers get their share of punishment from Scar works quite well here, as much as the presence of Gluttony, who emits a constant sense of both idiocy and danger. ![]() This aspect actually permeates the movie, with the production working quite well in the action scenes, courtesy of the big budget allocated to the special effects, and Masayoshi Deguchi's action direction. ![]() The same applies to Tsubasa Honda's Winry, one of the most interesting characters in the film (and the franchise) who gives a rather appealing performance apart from the moments where she has to emote drama, which, unfortunately, end up being melodramatic instead. Mackenryu gives a very fitting performance, even if the dramatic moments could be handled a bit better. Some exceptions do exist however, with Scar actually being quite eloquently portrayed, as a very strong man who is tormented, though, by his past, with his connection with Winry highlighting this trait in the best fashion. ![]() Envy and Gluttony are still almost everywhere running their own schemes, while the whole past story of Ishval is eventually revealed, connecting all the aforementioned with Winry, in the most dramatic arc of the movie, and Roy Mustang and his crew.Īs usual, trying to fit around 20 anime episodes in a two-hour movie proves a futile effort, and much like the first film, Sori fails in highlighting both the characters and the events in their rather intricate style that was showcased in the anime. At the same time, Edward and Alphonse stumble upon a prince named Lin Yao and his two bodyguards, who are in search of the Philosopher's Stone, as much as Lan Fan, a kind-hearted girl who is from the same country as the three foreigners. ![]() As it is soon revealed, Scar is on a mission to kill every State Alchemist, in a desperate effort to exact revenge from the genocide the army committed years ago in Ishval, with his quest eventually revealing another side of the army and particularly of the Fuhrer, which was not evident at all before.

Hoat coolant leak7/22/2023 This solution was revolutionary and brought a big change in the car-making industry for its endurance. The first ethylene glycol solutions were brought up in 1926 and the first solutions were marketed as permanent antifreeze. This will be of great importance for beginners who are starting to wrench and don’t have a lot of experience working on cars.Ĭoolant has been with us for ages. Let’s first start from the basics and learn what antifreeze is in general terms. So, before we delve into explaining what does antifreeze smell like. What Is Antifreeze, And Why Does It Have A Smell? So, if you want to learn more, follow along till the end. Then we will learn how you can fix leak spots in your cooling system. Later we will learn what does antifreeze smell like and how to tell if your car is leaking antifreeze. After, we will learn how the cooling system works and know the possible leak spots. But don’t worry because we are going to teach you everything you need to know.įirst, we will learn what is antifreeze and why it is so important. At least these are the things that do not require a huge mechanical knowledge But before you learn this stuff you need to understand how the cooling system works and where to look for your problem. I bet that most of you would choose to fix problems like these by yourself. So, which you would choose? To fix the problem by yourself and call it a day for $1 or pay $300 to a mechanic? The next thing you do is diagnose the leak and secure it with a clamp. Knowing how something smells, like in this example with the antifreeze, will help you diagnose your car quickly and effectively. Learning this stuff can sometimes be a true lifesaver. Cheap insurance to just replace it if you have low coolant in the radiator and can't find other leaks.Do you have an antifreeze leak that is quite difficult to track and you are trying to learn what does antifreeze smell like? If this is the case, then you are at the right place because there will be a lot to cover in this topic where we will learn everything you need to know when it comes to antifreeze in general. It is possible for a radiator cap to pass the pressure test but still allow air to get sucked past it instead of the heavier coolant from the expansion tank. Always pressure test the radiator cap when looking for leaks. Before you decide there are no leaks, leave the pressure tester on for a long time to make sure the pressure does not slowly drop. Small leaks will let in lots of air over time but may be very difficult to see. The pressure cap should have its rated pressure printed right on it. Never pump more pressure into the cooling system than what it is designed for. Cooling system pressure testers are easy to use once you find the proper adapters. Feel for pressure in the upper radiator hose to help decide if it is safe to open the radiator. When the engine is hot and the coolant is under pressure it is dangerous to remove the radiator cap. If the radiator is not completely full you should check for leaks. A true 50/50 mix will show -34☏ on your coolant spectrometer. Upon occasion the capacity published is incorrect, or an average of various capacities used in that engine. Be sure to re-check your freeze level after running the engine through a complete warm-up and cool down cycle with the heater on HOT. If you flush a cooling system with water, be sure to add pure antifreeze first until you have reached 50% of the entire cooling system capacity. Consider removing a freeze plug to get water out of engine blocks that do not use freeze plugs. If the engine block does not use drain plugs there will be a significant amount of water trapped in the engine block. IF the engine block has coolant drain plugs removing them will let several quarts of water drain out. When you are done with this process there will still be water left in the system. Using a garden hose, flush clean water through every opening in both directions. Removing the heater hose lets you flush out the heater core. Removing the thermostat allows water to circulate through a cold engine. The best method to get rid of all old coolant (recommended for neglected cooling systems) is to remove the thermostat and remove a heater hose.
