 Beloved Biblical and historical fiction author, Tessa Afshar has a new series beginning, and wow! Persian history comes to life as we get to know Roxannah and how she became not only a cook in Queen Esther's house but also... the queen's friend!  Listen in to learn more. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  This new series focuses on fictional women who could have interacted with Queen Esther and even has "excerpts from the queen's journals" which is a really cool way for readers to get to see Persian culture of the time through a lens that Esther could have had.  I don't know about you, but I'm already looking forward to the next book. #BecausePottery!  The Queen's Cook by Tessa Afshar  In the heart of ancient Persia, the empire's Jewish citizens face an ominous edict that threatens their very existence. Roxannah, the daughter of an impoverished Persian lord, is devastated by the news but feels helpless to come to the aid of her Jewish friends. Desperate to support her family, Roxannah approaches the royal physician, Adin--the man whose kind eyes haunt her--and seeks his help to find employment in Queen Esther's kitchens. In the opulent palace of Susa, Roxannah tries to survive the spiteful ploys of the other cooks as she ascends through the ranks. Her loyalty earns her the trust and friendship of Queen Esther, who is navigating dangerous politics with wisdom and grace. When Roxannah and Adin uncover a sinister plot against Amestris, the king's most powerful wife and Esther's archenemy, they find themselves tasked with the impossible job of discovering the culprit. As secrets unravel and alliances are tested, the fate of Esther's reign hangs in the balance. Learn more about Tessa on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

We continue our project of reading ALL of God's Word for our listeners. The post-exilic Book of Esther is set in the time between the prophecies of Haggai and Zechariah (520-518 BC) and that of Malachi (450-430? BC). The Jerusalem temple had already been rebuilt (c. 515 BC) some 35 years prior to the events narrated in Esther. However, neither Ezra nor Nehemiah had yet returned to Jerusalem. Ezra would lead the return of the second wave of exiles in about twenty years, and Nehemiah the third wave in another fifteen years after that. The historical timeline of Persia's King Xerxes is a perfect match to Esther's story. The events of chapter 1 would have been in the years of military planning leading up to Xerxes' famous attack on Greece. Queen Vashti was likely his queen Amestris, whom Xerxes married on his ascent to the Persian throne in 486 BC. It was in 480 that Xerxes and his army defeated the Greeks at Thermopylae and burned Athens, but then losing decisively in the naval battle of Salamis. Xerxes with the remainder of his fleet and much of his army, returned home, fearing that the military defeat at the hands of the Greeks would inspire rebellion within the empire. Thus, he would have been present at the palace in Susa, as it says in the second chapter of Esther, in the 7th year of his reign (479-8 BC) to choose Esther as queen in Vashti's place. It is important to remember this, as Queen Esther in the palace at Susa may be the queen mentioned in Nehemiah 2:6 as sitting beside Xerxes son, Artaxerxes (though it might also be Vashti/Amestris, mother of Artaxerxes, who was still alive at this time). It is possible that Queen Esther continued to influence Persian politics for quite some time.

The post-exilic Book of Esther is set in the time between the prophecies of Haggai and Zechariah (520-518 BC) and that of Malachi (450-430? BC). The Jerusalem temple had already been rebuilt (c. 515 BC) some 35 years prior to the events narrated in Esther. However, neither Ezra nor Nehemiah had yet returned to Jerusalem. Ezra would lead the return of the second wave of exiles in about twenty years, and Nehemiah the third wave in another fifteen years after that. The historical timeline of Persia's King Xerxes is a perfect match to Esther's story. The events of chapter 1 would have been in the years of military planning leading up to Xerxes' famous attack on Greece. Queen Vashti was likely his queen Amestris, whom Xerxes married on his ascent to the Persian throne in 486 BC. It was in 480 that Xerxes and his army defeated the Greeks at Thermopylae and burned Athens, but then losing decisively in the naval battle of Salamis. Xerxes with the remainder of his fleet and much of his army, returned home, fearing that the military defeat at the hands of the Greeks would inspire rebellion within the empire. Thus, he would have been present at the palace in Susa, as it says in the second chapter of Esther, in the 7th year of his reign (479-8 BC) to choose Esther as queen in Vashti's place. It is important to remember this, as Queen Esther in the palace at Susa may be the queen mentioned in Nehemiah 2:6 as sitting beside Xerxes son, Artaxerxes (though it might also be Vashti/Amestris, mother of Artaxerxes, who was still alive at this time). It is possible that Queen Esther continued to influence Persian politics for quite some time.

All links can be found at JapanimationStation.Com or by searching in your favorite podcast app. Thanks for listening! The first Fullmetal Alchemist anime comes to its ultimate conclusion in the 2005 feature film Conqueror of Shamballa, a narratively messy but beautifully made movie that showcases the best and the worst that this ‘alternate' version of Fullmetal Alchemist has to offer. With Edward Elric lost in ‘our' world on the other side of the gate, Conqueror of Shamballa is set primarily in 1923 Germany on the eve of the Nazi Party's ‘Beer Hall Putsch,' with Ed navigating a society on the brink of collapse into genocidal fascism. It's a fascinating and often quite effective setting, while the action back in Amestris – where Alphonse Elric, back in his human body, is searching for a way to get back to his brother – feels pretty threadbare. The worlds eventually collide, and we see how Seiji Mizushima and company bring this version of the story to a close, with Sean and Jonathan giving their final thoughts on how the 2003 version of Fullmetal Alchemist stands the test of time nearly 20 years later.

We're sharing the first few episodes of JAPANIMATION STATION here in the Weekly Suit Gundam feed, but be sure to subscribe to the new podcast feed on your platform of choice. All links can be found at JapanimationStation.Com or by searching in your favorite podcast app. Thanks for listening! For our first anime subject, we're diving into the world of Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist, starting with the 2003 anime that partially adapted the then-young manga before branching off into an increasingly divergent anime-original story. While it was a huge and acclaimed hit, in Japan and abroad, at the time of release, the show has a more controversial reputation now, years after Arakawa's manga was completed and faithfully re-adapted as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Sean and Jonathan are coming at the 2003 series from wildly different directions – Jonathan a lifelong fan who started with this anime as a kid, and Sean only recently having read the manga without ever seeing either anime – so our perspectives inherently diverge. But if there's one thing we clearly agree on, it's that this is a fascinating show very much worth talking about. Whether one loves it or hates it, it's clearly more than an outdated curio, and we think you, like us, will come away from this conversation with a greater appreciation for all versions of Fullmetal Alchemist.

Sinopse: Edward e Alphonse Elric são dois irmãos nascidos na aldeia de Resembool no país chamado Amestris, os dois irmãos viviam na aldeia com sua mãe Trisha Elric, onde seu pai, Van Hohenheim, saiu de casa por razões desconhecidas. Anos mais tarde, Trisha Elric morreu de uma doença incurável, deixando portanto, os dois irmãos sozinhos. Após a morte de sua mãe, Edward decide ressuscitá-la através da alquimia, que é uma ciência avançada em que os objetos podem ser criados a partir de matérias-primas, com o princípio da lei da troca equivalente. Eles pesquisaram sobre Transmutação Humana, uma técnica proibida em que se tenta criar, modificar e até mesmo ressucitar um ser humano. Como ja era de se esperar, essa tentativa fracassou e consequentemente Edward perdeu sua perna esquerda e seu irmão mais novo Alphonse, perdeu seu corpo inteiro. Numa tentativa desesperada de salvar seu irmão, Edward sacrifica seu braço direito para unir a alma de Alphonse a uma armadura que se encontra no local. Após isso, a perna esquerda e o braço direito de Edward são substituídos por um tipo avançado de prótese, chamada de automail, construídas por sua amiga Winry Rockbell e sua avó Pinako. Então, começa a saga dos dois irmãos alquimistas à procura do catalisador lendário chamado de Pedra Filosofal, um objeto poderoso que lhes permite restaurar seus corpos, que foram perdidos na tentativa frustrada de trazer sua mãe de volta à vida.

Topic: Fullmetal Alchemist Tutorial/Experiment   Ep 82: Fullmetal Alchemist Tutorial/Experiment   An Experiment: This week, we’re asking mom and our audience to not only read some Manga, but also to watch some anime, and a movie.  All of these things are the exact same things.  Which makes it even more interesting.  Namely, Fullmetal Alchemist, which is not only a long running manga series that ran for over 9 years, but also two Anime, and a Japanese movie.  So, what happens when print media becomes a TV series and a Movie?  Let’s see what Mom thinks.       What is Fullmetal Alchemist? Hiromu Arakawa is the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist.  She was born in 1973 and grew up on a dairy farm in Hokkaido.  From young age, she loved manga and would collect it whenever she had money from her allowance.  She initially went to agriculture high school, a theme she would later revisit for her next Manga “Silver Spoon”.  After graduating, she spent another seven years working on her parent’s dairy farm before moving to Tokyo to follow her dreams of becoming a Mangaka.    She initially started as an Assistant before eventually getting her big break with ‘Stray Dog’.  This won her the 21st Century “Shonen Gangan” award in 2000, and the company, Gangan, would eventually become the publisher for most of her work.    Her next big title, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, aka Fullmetal Alchemist, began publishing in 2001.  The series was a monthly title, which consisted of roughly 35-40 pages per month in Square Enix’s Monthly Shonen Gangan anthology.  The series would run for the better part of 9 years and become one of the most defining Manga and Anime for a world wide audience, particularly in the west.  This would eventually win her the prestigious Annual Shogakugan Manga Award  in 2003.  The series also spawned two anime series, with two follow movies for each series, as well as a live action movie in 2017.   Hiromu’s additional works include: Hero Tales – Imperial China theme wars/conflicts Silver Spoon – Agriculture High School, Slice of Life The Heroic Legend of Arslan – Based off a similar book series     World/Story Fullmetal Alchemists tells the story of Edward(Ed) and Alphonse(Al) Elric, a pair of brothers gifted in the science/magic of Alchemy, as they travel around the fictional country of Amestris in search of a way to recover their bodies and become whole.    In this ‘steam punk’ world, closely matching technology of the early 19th century, alchemy is the most practiced science throughout the world, which allows users who have studied to do transmutation magic.  Given a collection of items or materials, an Alchemist can draw transmutation circles across along a surface and channel energy in to it in order to create something new from the materials.  The magical system primarily operates by first identify the material, breaking it up in to its most natural components, then rebuilding it based off the transmutation circle.  The magic system is a hard magic system, consisting of rules and laws that must otherwise be followed.  The most fundamental being the Law of Equivalent Exchange, which directs that in order to create something, you must first lose something of equal value; and is also referenced at the beginning of every episode in the Anime.  Because of the hard magic System, Alchemists are limited in what alchemy itself can do, these include: You can’t make something without the proper components.  IE, you can’t make a metal sword out of wood. You’re limited to making something of equal size as the amount of components you have.  IE, you can’t build a house with only a single plank of wood. The more complex the alchemy, the more complex the transmutation circle.     Within the country of Amestris exists the military, an omni-powerful organization that runs the country and is tasked to maintain order throughout the country and its borders, but may have secret motives and directives.  While they act like a standard military army and political organization, the most defining feature is the State Alchemists, Alchemists that are hired and operate for the military on their behalf.  The benefit works for both parties, as State Alchemists receive large stipends of funding from the government, but can be called in to service by the military to act as human weapons against opposing forces.  State Alchemists are also known as Dogs of the Military, a derogatory term as the military likes to throw State Alchemists at their problems, and that Alchemists must heavily rely on the military for funding to continue their research.  Each Alchemist is given a code name, which usually had something to do with their alchemy style, such examples include: Flame, Iron Blood, Crimson, and ofcourse, Full Metal.   While not explicit rules of the magical system, Alchemists within the world are limited in doing two major things with Alchemy.  The first not making gold, as this would throw off the entire economy of the country.  This is also a call back to the origin of alchemy, which at the intent of making precious metals, like gold itself.  The second is that human transmutation is outlawed, and considered highly taboo, along the lines of grave robbing or worse.   To continue with the Steam Punk nature of the world, people who have lost their limbs can have them replaced with robotic limbs known as ‘Automail’.  Most Automail replaces lost limbs like arms and legs, and rarely is it used to replace sections of the body even.  No electricity is necessary as it uses nerves in the body that already exist and blood to power limbs.  While uncommon, it is well known and entire communities and companies exist as a matter of building various limbs and parts.     Characters The story primarily follows Ed and Al as they travel through the world trying to use their knowledge of Alchemy to regain their bodies and become whole.  This is due to Ed and Al attempting to bring back their dead mother using Alchemy using Human Transmutation, but failing to do so.  As a result of this initial failure, Ed lost his left leg and Al disappeared entirely, the toll or price for attempting Human Transmutation.  As a result of Human Transmutation, Ed gained advanced Alchemic knowledge, which he uses to bind Al’s soul to a nearby suit of armor, thus bringing him back to the world, but at the expense of Ed’s right arm.  After a prolonged recovery for Ed to gain an Automail Arm and Leg to replace those lost, the two set forth to find the Philosopher’s Stone, a fabled Alchemy tool that ignores the Laws of Equivalent Exchange, in hopes of resorting their bodies.   Edward Elric (Ed) The main title character of the series, always seen with his signature blonde hair, golden eyes, red coat.  Edward is known as the Fullmetal Alchemist, the youngest State Alchemist, and best known for his signature ability of not needing a transmutation circle to produce Alchemy, a rare gift never seen before in most Alchemists.  Gifted, brave, and fierce, Edward is also a skill physical combatant, using his unique alchemy skills to augment his fighting style by creating weapons out of nowhere, even manipulating plates on his Automail Right Arm.  While a strong individual, Edward is also quite hot headed and temperamental, prone to fits of rage if something sets him off, often his height, which is often considered small for his age.  Despite his hot temper, Edward is very caring, especially toward his younger brother Alphonse, to which he has promised to find a way to recover Al’s body no matter what.    Alphonse Elric (Al) The younger of the Elric Brothers, he is also a main character, and is portrayed through the series as being a giant, hollow suit of armor.  This is due to his soul being bonded to a suit of armor.  This carries some advantages, such as not needing to eat or sleep, also not getting hot or cold, and seemingly immortality, assuming the blood seal remains undamaged.  However, these same pros are also cons for Alphonse, a very loving and caring soul that would rather shelter kittens than every punch a person, as he struggles to continue living without having a proper body.  Much like his brother, he is also gifted in Alchemy, though not at the same caliber of his brother, but is physically stronger and an even more skilled combatant than his brother.  He travels with his brother, and is often confused for his brother from time to time, as they both are in search of the Philosopher’s stone.   Colonel Roy Mustang The Flame Alchemist, a State Alchemist who used his position to climb the ranks of military, with ambitions of eventually becoming the Fuhrer, leader of the country.  Cocky and reassured, his outward appearance hides his true motives and feelings, which is a commander with pure intentions of making the country a better place.  Much like his name, his manipulate flames using Alchemy; this is accomplished by using his special spark sensitive gloves to snap his fingers, creating sparks and then manipulating the air quality to direct explosions and blasts of fire around.    Winry Rockbell Best Friends to Ed and Al, she acts as Ed’s mechanic, as it was her who built Ed’s Automail Arm and Leg, even installing them on to his body with the assistance Winry’s grandmother.  A gifted mechanic, she loves machines in all forms and shapes, gawking over them.  She cares deeply for both Ed and Al, thinking of them as brothers and wishing for only the best for both.  She is often the emotional support for both, and even Physical Support for Ed.   Scar An initial Antagonist, Scar is a nick name given to a killer of State Alchemists.  An tall and strong Ishvalan (similar to our Middle Eastern heritage/decent), he known for the X-shaped scare along the front of his face.  He hunts State Alchemists due to them having invaded his country and basically starting open warfare when his country did nothing to Amestris.  To combat State Alchemists, Scar’s right arm is adorned with Ishvalan sigils and runes, similar to Alchemy’s transmutation circles, which allow him to break down anything to its base components.  Using it, Scar can break weapons, streets, buildings, and even begin breaking down a person on to their base components as a means of killing them.      Lust One of three initially introduced Homunculus, seven in total, she is represented by a tall and beautiful woman with an Ouroboros tattoo on her chest.  Much like her name, people lust after her and she uses this to her advantage, often hiding in plain sight amongst others in order to spy upon them.  She is cool and level headed, but also sadistic, she enjoys watching humans scurry and suffer around her.  Her unique skills allows her to extend the length of her fingers to razor like talons, upwards of several feet long, and cut through just about anything as a result.  Like all Homunculus, she is essentially immortal, and if killed, will return to life, or rebuild parts of her body, nearly instantaneously   Gluttony Another Homunculus introduced early in the series, he short and very rotund, not too dissimilar to a ball in many ways.  He is often seen eating other creatures and people, as directed by Lust or other Homunculus.  Much like his name, he is always hungry, and his unique ability, allows him to eat just about anything without feel the ill-effect, or getting full either.  Often a comic relief character, he is also the character with the most child like sense of character, having only an interest in doing what other Homunculus tell him to do , please his master, and eating.   Envy An androgynous Homunculus who is often seen with Lust and Gluttony.  He is amongst the cruelest of all the Homunculus, playing and torturing humans for pleasure.   He is the most likely to kill without hesitation and follow his master’s orders swiftly once given.   He is unique in that he can shape-shift in to other forms, including different people so that he may act like a spy, or transform in to his true, monstrous form.  Just like Lust and Gluttony, his is functionally immortal and will recover from injuries and death with near immediate speed.      Adaptations:   Manga – The manga initially ran from July 2001 till June 2010, finishing with 108 monthly chapters over the better part of nine years.  All volumes have been release in the state by Viz Media. 2003 Anime – Released after about only 20 chapters in to the Manga’s initial start, the series diverges after a certain point from the original material.  This is due to the manga still be in production, and only being a few chapters in which it was decided to make it an anime.  As a result, while Arakawa was a part of the initial storyboarding process, she was not involved in the filming, writing, or animation, resulting in a different take on the material. 2009 Anime – With the Manga beginning to wind down, A second anime adaptation was announced, this time following more closely to the original manga.  As a result, the 2009 anime is considered the definitive version of Fullmetal Alchemist as a result.  The anime was purposefully set up to end just a few weeks after the manga, and staff were already animating the final episodes in time with the manga.  2017 Film – In 2017, a live action film was created the follows the first major story arcs of the series.  This film omits quite a bit of world building and simplifies a fair amount of the world, characters , and principles from the original story.  As a result, he’s generally considered the worse adaptation amongst all known adaptation.         Anime

Podcast manga review of Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 8 by Hiromu Arakawa. Translated by Akira Watanabe. Adapted by Jake Forbes. Published by Viz, $9.99, Rated T for Teen. From the back cover: "The raid on the Devil's Nest becomes a slaughter, as government troops - led by the Fuhrer President himself, King Bradley - exterminate the half-human forces of the Homunculus Greed. But will Ed and Al survive the battle unchanged? As Greed is sent to meet his maker, foreign alchemists arrive in Amestris, having crossed the great desert from the eastern country of Xing. They are Mei and Ling, and they've come for the Philosopher's Stone... and a secret even the Elric brothers never imagined..." My Grade: A+
