I know this seems like a joke, especially considering that as a fan of Twilight, while I more a Team Jacob kinda girl, I did in fact fall for the lack of charm Edward Cullen had. I honestly thought he'd be my favorite fictional character named Edward! Thank God I educated myself on Full Metal Alchemist!
Granted, Ed Elric does have an uncontrollable kiddy temper that is more cute than annoying,and he's also a bit on the shorter side.,but who wouldn't love the infamous older half of "The Elric Brothers"?
Edward Elric may not be romantic like some unnamed Cullen kid(lol) and while they both seem to be willing to do whatever they must for the ones they love,Elric happens to have something Cullen does not. Unconditional Love!!!!!!! That's right! A love that most would lead to believe only people extremely close or actually be biological relatives to have the honour of feeling. Sure Cullen has siblings. In fact he has four. However it seems as though they're mostly family to make up appearances. In any of those books have I ever gotten the impression that their love was one that transcended bloodlines enough to love each other even through awkward times.
Example: Say Bella all of a sudden decided, "I will no longer be known as Bella,call me Ben" and assumed the identity as a man. Would Edward roll with that? Ha ha. I think not! However Edward Elric,as the most important person in his life being his brother,this issue,if ever brought out, would probably be an issue. But due to that annoying unconditional love beaming in out of nowhere,I'm sure he'd look past that if Alphonse happened to make the same choice.
I'm not saying love between a man and a woman isn't as beautiful as a mother and daughter,or two siblings. Without a man and woman falling in love,these other combinations would not even exist. But don't you agree that there are often things you can tell a family member, that you may be to ashamed to tell a significant other?
This is why i relate to Ed Elric. Because I know what it's like to have unconditional love for people. And this is why I love Elric over Cullen. Plus technically Elric came first,for however wants to argue with that logic. So he wins! End of story!
