Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

[Inui]

This might be my new favorite anime of all time.

Imo, it thoroughly trounces the original. I think the story is way better and makes more sense. I like the new characters.

Who else has been watching?

I started last week...and watched all 58 eps that were out in 4 days, lol. The wait for the rest is killing me.

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

I've actually been thinking of giving this anime a try. All i've heard are good things about it and besides I need something to keep me busy while I wait for the Soul Eater dub.

One thing I wanna know, how long is the anime?

 

[Untrust Us]

how long? you mean the runtime of an episode? it's around 22 or more minutes. If you're talking about how many episodes then I don't know what to tell you but the last FMA anime had 51 episodes.

 

[Mota]

Definitely in the top of my favourite animes.

Haha 58, that's over 24 hours worth. Good man.

I watched the original up to about episode 15 before completely giving up from sheer boredom. I was sceptical when my mate gave me Brotherhood.
But hotdam, was instantly absorbed by the much faster pace and battles. The story is better presented as well with awesome characters. Enjoyed every moment, the fight scenes, even the emotional parts *wipes a tear away*

Roys fire alchemy is overpowered imo haha

Spoiler

Homunculus are supposed to be superior to humans, yet Roy can vanquish them with a click of his finger (literally). Lust was cake, Envy was actually scared ****less, running away. Perfect alchemy for killing them I guess.

Pride reminds me of Gaara, the way he can just stand still and ****.
General Olivier Armstrong is my fave char, such a badsas. <3

Well I meant how many episodes in total the anime is, if it's already ended.

 

[Mota]

Fortunately the anime hasn't ended yet. Yay!

EDIT:

There are 63 episodes, but they haven't subbed them all yet.

This anime is really cool. I haven't watched anime in a long time. I watched K-On but I kinda got bored with it. I've been watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood straight. I still haven't watched the latest episodes yet though.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I watched the original too, and I must say that I prefer this one over the original. All in all, I do like it a lot, not my favorite though, but def up there.

 

[Inui]

General Armstrong is a little too crazy for my tastes, but she's a good addition to go along with her brother and I like what the whole Briggs group adds to the show.

I love that Mustang and Envy, my two favorite characters, got buffed in terms of both power and importance. It's keeping me more interested than the original did, since Mustang was just at his desk all the time in the original and Lust overshadowed the other villains until the end.

Brotherhood is actually making me feel things. The story can really move you to tears or laughter at times. The original couldn't do that to me.

Brotherhood is actually making me feel things. The story can really move you to tears or laughter at times. The original couldn't do that to me.

Really? It's kind of the opposite for me. I will not say that Brotherhood's story is worse than the first one's, because in reality the first one's story was a mess and when I try to rewatch it I can't... But when I did first watch it had me pulled in all of the way through, and it made me cry.

Brotherhood hasn't really made me do that. I have felt for the characters and I like the story, it's just not as emotional to me. I don't know why.

Anyway it's incredible how fast this anime has caught up to the manga. Good thing they timed it up so perfectly so the manga would end just slightly first.

 

[G U R U]

Brotherhood is fantastic. I love the music in the show as well. I don't think there has been a OP or ED I haven't loved to death.

Same

The OPs and EDs are awesome.

The show is sooo good I love it

 

[RoxasDe]

I started watching yesterday and it was great!

 

[Minato]

Brotherhood is almost over (in Japan), so sad. I like it more than the first series since this one's more faithful to the anime. When I first watched the first series, I liked the first half but was somewhat disappointed with the second half when it deviated. But the first half was done better than the beginning of Brotherhood. I give Brotherhood the benefit of the doubt since they were obviously rushing to get to new material.

Currently, I'm beginning to appreciate the first series more than I did before just for how certain scenes and the direction was presented. So my attitude for the first series has changed slightly, but still I like Brotherhood more.

And one more chapter of the manga and it's over.

 

[Mota]

So true, most on my ipod. Again by YUI <3

I'll admit I got teary and moved in some parts.

 

[Inui]

I downloaded a lot of the music.

The action scenes involving Bradley are incredible. I wish Bradley and Mustang were that awesome and involved in the first anime. Bradley's fighting style is my favorite type in anime/games/etc.

 

[Inui]

The new episode was good like the rest. It's a shame Mustang got shafted so hard. The Door of Truth sure ***** him hard.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Only now watched it? pfft~

But yeah,

Spoiler

Mustang being blind is a nice plot twist, also surprised that Alphonse didn't accept his old body, the most interesting is that he said that he'll come back to the body :o

 

[Inui]

I'm not surprised. That's how he rolls. He made it clear early in the series.

 

[global-wolf]

My favorite anime of all time. Though I haven't really watched many, lol.

Plot, characters, animation, and background music is too amazing <3

 

[VideoKidHEERO]

Lucas, I love you for making this thread.
You don't even know bro.

It's by far my favorite series of all time. I love everything FMA. Any of the people I went to high school or past girlfriends can tell you about my obsession with it.

Anyways, I've only had one single complaint about the series.
In the original anime, we were exposed to Nina and Alexander in two back to back episodes and were given a lot of time to become attached to those characters. When she died, I'm not ashamed to say I cried yo. It was one of the saddest moments in anything I've ever seen.

I felt like Brotherhood didn't do that part of the series justice. Though I honestly can't complain too much because I highly doubt they could've made it any more emotional.

Ling Yao<3

Lastly... I wish Frank Archer would've had a roll in Brotherhood. I actually liked that character for some odd reason.

 

[L__]

Roy Mustang is my favorite character

this series is/was amazing

 

[Minato]

I'm sad the manga's finally over. It's been quite a ride these past several years.
Can't wait to see it all animated in Brotherhood now.

 

[Mota]

I like that it's ended, can't wait.
Mangas and animes that never end really just deteriorate in quality after a while.

 

[gotpho]

Honestly, I did not enjoy FMA at all but Brotherhood is awesome. Much more fast-paced and more interesting characters.

 

[Mota]

Ep60 and 61, things are definitely picking up, a little too fast and rushed imo.

 

[Mota]

The FMA brotherhood is finished

It was a nice happy, wrapped everything up, was a bit zzz but expected.

Definitely one of my faves animes, what did everyone else think of the ending and overall?

 

[VideoKidHEERO]

It's nevah til it's ovah...

They did announce a movie after all ^.^

 

[L__]

[CRASHiC]

[VideoKidHEERO]

Lol no, not Conqueror of Shambala.

At the end of the last episode, they confirm the movie.
Go on Random Curiosity too.

I'm much more lazy than you are so you can get your own link >:3

 

[L__]

Found it...

Too lazy to share.

That sounds interesting, I guess.

Right, it's just too much work to share xD

There are rumors saying it's going be live-action.

Oh god...

 

[L__]

Wut?

* A movie version of the series was announced at the conclusion of this episode. My guess is that it’s going to be a condensed version of the same story.

that's all the info I saw on the movie... did we look at the same info?

 

[G U R U]

Brotherhood is #1 on MAL right now
