Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood review
My Rating: 7.5/10
IMDb Rating: 9.1/10 Metacritics Rating: N/A/5 MyAnimeList Rating: 9.25/10 My Favorite Quotes: 1. “A lesson without pain is meaningless. For you cannot gain anything without sacrificing something else in return. Although, if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find you have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle, yeah.. a heart made of full metal." - Edward Elric I was very disappointed in this series to say the least. For many reasons including the fact that the original series (Fullmetal Alchemist) was arguably the best series of all time. Also because Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood has been rated the greatest anime of all time ratings wise. So this series is very similar to the original and beibg someone who did not read the manga I do not know which series is more accurate. Anyway the plot is pretty similar to the original and very well done. The fighting scenes are certainly better than the original. On the other hand FMA Brotherhood lacks the emotional attachment to each of the characters. The theme is very similar to the original and very inspirational, except towards the end Edward sacrifices his ability to use alchemy to get his brothers body back and how in any way is that equivalent exchange. That totally contradicts the theme and makes it much less meaningful. The characters just lacked something which the original contained. The ending to FMA Brotherhood is much worse in my opinion. The soundtrack is equal if not better than the original. I can't seem to get the last Opener out of my head that's how good it is. All in all a very good show and I feel like whichever series you watch first will most likely be your favorite of the two. 7.5/10. |
