Full Metal Achemist : Brotherhood

I can still remember the rage from the FMA community when they moved away from the manga's plot...

Of course. That monstrosity they created was horrible. It made no sense whatsoever and they went so far as into making a movie out of it and fucking up WWII! What I hate the most is the ignorance of the fans of this version. They scream off the top of their lungs that this is the best anime ever and denounce other anime and what not. Most of these fans though have never even read the manga version of FMA and then they go around attacking others of their anime fandom.

I'm going to rep you when I can. +Rep. Your words are spot-on. And what's even more annoying is that according to MAL, there are 5 times the amount of people who saw that piece-of-trash anime compared to the amount of people reading the manga now.

Seriously, that pisses me off really bad.

Well as i have read the post people are looking for dubs?
well they have only released 1 EP to the world and they are subbed.
This sunday will be the second. Im hoping as it was epic, after i watched that i decided to compare it with the original FMA which i own and man it was way better ha ha.


if the reprots are true and there are only 26 EPS people who are looking for Dubs it will be a while before Dubs are made lol like maybe begining of next year my guess before they start releasing dubs.

otherwise i'm very looking forward to more FMA!

Did anybody else think that the first shot of Ed in the opening made him look like the Crimson Alchemist?

Anyways, the episode was alright, but I was disappointed, having read the manga. I wanted some cool never-before-animated action right from the get-go.

But for a made-up story and an introduction to the characters, it was pretty good.

ur r so evil =)



No i didnt, for me he was like his father ^^

I guess if you guys don't mind waiting a few days after the fansubs, the "best" subtitles available would probably be straight from Funi.

I definitely enjoyed this episode, but I also felt that it was probably very disjointed and confusing for anyone who hasn't read the manga or seen the first anime. It was as if they were just trying to pack all the major players into the first episode so that everyone who is familiar with the series could just have a big fangasm. Like, "here's what you have to look forward to, guys".

It looks like episode 2 will start from the beginning though, so that's a bit more promising.

hey how many episodes do you guys think it will take for it to get up to where the manga is?

It's hard to say. The first anime often followed the main storyline of the manga while changing certain things. For example, when Greed shows up, the anime was very similar to the manga at times, but a lot of stuff also happened that wasn't in the manga.

I think for at least a dozen episodes, fans of the first anime will know exactly what is going to happen 90% of the time, while little things pop up that surprise them.

I just watched a couple episodes and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'll admit that I never read the manga so I'll just judge it as a stand alone piece. There were some areas of the original I liked but, it felt very thinly connected while this version seems to have left out some of the stuff I liked from the original. Such as scenes with Rose the entire thing just felt a little compacted and forced.

Overall, I'd still say it's a good anime.

I believe most people are going to watch the first half of the 1st anime FMA to refer to the manga up until the GREED part and then watch the Brotherhood for the 2nd half.

ok look i no how excited you are, i was excited too, but its not as good as you think it will be

the art is totally different. i miss the good old classical fma not what ever Brotherhood is. its not bad but it's hard going from one great story line character plot etc to the absolute middle where your like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

it crushes hard core fans like me

It crushes hardcore fans of the manga when the original anime FMA pulled off that BS 2nd half that made no sense whatsoever. That made us go "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT THEY CALL A FUCKEN STORYLINE"!?

You can say what you want about the storyline, but the art is not fucking different at all. It's slightly better, since it's been a few years since the first anime, but the character designs are the same, the backgrounds are the same, and pretty much everything is the same. There's almost no difference between the art of Brotherhood and the art of the first anime.

nice anime... still wanting for moar... episode 4 is next.

What i try to do is make sense of what they are saying, so when they say stuff i LISTEN and try and figure out what they are saying without looking at the subs, and if i cant figure it out, then I just read. That simple. It's pretty easy to figure out because in anime they talk slower than they do in reality.

And if you guys really watch anime as much as you do, then you should be able to figure it out.

Yeah i got that. I figured out that there was gonna be a stupid ending after they showed

So far so good ... the art's a bit okayish, preferred the art or character drawing on the first series to be completely honest. There's no REAL theme so far which is kinda disappointing for me ... but, at least it's being told the way it should, following the manga n such.

Kinda sucks cause i feel like the FMA manga is nearing its end maybe thats the reason they made the FMA anime.. Plus the compress to much chapters into one anime often never showed any of the other chapters like yoki in the mine (i know he will be the comical character with scar in the mid of the series)
