Transmutation Circles

[Sulker]

Have you noticed that Ed and Co. Can draw Transmutation Circles in an instant? Like in one of the earlier episodes (4-6) A man steals someones purse and Ed Stops him by Drawing a huge Transmutation Circle out of nowhere and catches him by making a cage fall on him. It doesn't even show him drawing it, it's just *poof* there!

The in-universe logic behind that is that people who broke alchemy and went through the whole mystical mysterious door buisiness can instantly summon circles. Everyone else has to have a circle physically drawn.

Um.. What?

[Diocletian]

He alchemicaly used the ground to make a symbol?

If only magical girl animes were like that!

Sulker won't get this unless he's seen the episode/chapter where they explain it.

Uh... another reason might be also... we'd get bored watching him draw a circle. O_o

I suppose it is a case of "practise makes perfect". They have been drawing transmutation circles on the most part of their whole lives. Just like people whom have been using PC's for a long time can type up things extremely fast without even looking at the keyboard.

Oh yeah, also it is a fictional anime.

Um, I think that it has something to do with the fact that it's an anime and animes are still animated serieses(aka awesome cartoons on staroids) So, the laws of time and space don't really count...0.0 at all.

That, too. I guess...

lol - I drew'em pretty quickly. 2 years ago I used to draw'em all over my hands and call'em wicked tattoos O_O; It was pretty dumb...=_=; But in the anime they didn't show the drawing process 'coz "we'd probably wouldn't want to watch it"...It wastes time - since that we all know it's gonna turn out to be a transmutation circle - why see it? It's anime, ya know =w=~o

Yea, I agree, I can't draw circles to well :/ but they probally did not want to show it all, why show it actually.

I had a chemistry teacher who was part protractor and drew perfect circles in one arm motion.
