Fandom:Fullmetal Alchemist
Pairing: Elricest (Edward and Alphonse Elric)
Spoilers: Major backstory spoilers for the anime through Episode 6. One minor spoiler each for Episodes 10, 17, and 46. See Disclaimer.
Overview
Elricest is the fandom slang term for the yaoi pairing of Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric in the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist. This series has aired in its entirety in Japan, and has just begun its run in dubbed format on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim in the United States.
DISCLAIMER: I tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, and the majority of the spoilers are related to the basic backstory and will take you through Episode 6. However, if you read this you WILL be spoiled for a few things that you don't normally learn until Episodes 10, 17 and 46. They are all fairly minor spoilers, and you should be able to enjoy the anime even knowing this, but BE WARNED if you are very paranoid about spoilers. You will also be spoiled somewhat for the manga, although the manga and the anime do not follow the same timeline. I actually could have cited even more evidence for Elricest based on what happens farther down the anime, but I decided that avoiding spoilers was more important, considering how new the anime is to the United States.
NOTE: Although I have read the manga, I am more conversant with the anime, and at the risk of sounding like a heretic, I think the anime plot is better than the one in the manga. I therefore refer entirely to the anime in this essay. However, the evidence for Elricest in the manga is more or less the same as the evidence in the anime. Only the details of the events differ.
( You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family. )
