Full Length | FMA Brotherhood | 1x1

Will NING

Just came back this channel couple days ago after nearly 8 months away, exactly becuase I noticed you gals started FMA, well done. And can I just say that you shouldn't even think for a sec re sub or dub, pls always go for original soundtrack, especially for Japenense amine

Mythrial

Idk if I'm ready to feel all the feels again but here we go

Phillip

Billy Dancel

CraigoD96

If you have the cash the bluray is reasonably priced and widely accessible

Jakob

VPN that shii.. Or buy it. Or watch the edited clips. Or use Hianime.to

Azrael

Broski, just use a free streaming site. Like aniwave.se.

Sankai

NOOOOOO 😭 I was looking forward to rewatch this show with you, but only just found out that it's only on Netflix in my region 😭 Guess I'll have to wait for a while and then catch up... (or watch the edited version...? 🤔) I really like this show and hope you'll be able to enjoy it as well!

Just like many folks would recommend going back to sub if they switched. With a poll this close there's no way to satisfy everyone, the best they can do is stick to their decision.

Which makes him a father, yes, but that's not the part that gives me suspicions of mistaken identity

Not a spoiler, but I'm not sure if you guys are aware that there was an original FMA anime from 2003 before this one was made. The original FMA anime explained alchemy in a lot more detail and this version assumes that most of its watchers have seen the original so it doesn't explain it as much. I won't go into any FMA:B spoilers but just a quick lesson on alchemy that this version of FMA doesn't get into: Think of alchemy as a branch of science, and as something that anyone can learn. But it requires basically a PhD in chemistry and engineering so the average person is just not gonna bother to spend their time learning it. Any alchemist will know the basics of using alchemy and can essentially work with any material to some degree. However, most alchemists will specialize in a specific material (like water, fire, or metal) because it's too much work to learn the chemical make up of every type of material. In 2003 FMA, it really showcases that Ed is famous for being a child genius, and it's because he's a master of all subjects. He's comfortable with using alchemy on any material, whereas most alchemists just stick to their specialty. That's why he was able to make a bat from a metal street pipe, make a platform from stone tiles, melt Freezer's iceberg, immediately recognize the red transmutation circle, and many more transmutations to come.

Easily one of the best animes. Years ago, I watched the dub on a whim. And every rewatch was dub. This will be fun hearing the sub this time. So far, so good! Regardless, you two will love the show & all the characters. Enjoy!

Chris Jarrett

Been only a year or so for me, but same with never seeing the sub! So I'm actually happy they picked the sub even though I love the dub, since it'll be somewhat new!

Smelly Mammoth

Bradley said he would tell his son that he got to work with the Fullmetal Alchemist

Zee

Finally watched it! Man, I forgot how fun the show is, I missed the characters, especially Roy and his lady subordinate (no name yet hehe). You girls are so perceptive, you got the details and wonder about a lot of interesting points, which hopefully be answered soon! I especially laughing at "in the show we watch we always doubt the government" lol. Really, no matter in real life or fiction, goverment always sus af lol (Also I love Carissa's hair, it's so cute!)

Darktorēsā

Been many years since I watched this show and never seen the sub version. Guess this is a good enough excuse as any to rewatch it.

Flubbedsquid

I find the subtitles tend to be better than the writing for the dub. I agree that the voices are iconic, but they flubbed a lot of lines imo.

Nuni

I just don't see the point of it tbh. Almost made me drop the anime but I guess that's personal preference. Glad others like it tho!

Nuni

Nice! As long it didn't made you bored, I'm happy

BreadCEO

both are very good, its really up to preference.

Mustafa Hassan

no worries! Hope you enjoy it

Haylo

Sorry! We did what we though best and went with the votes even though it was very close. Excited to see why this story is so beloved none the less!!

Haylo

Glad you're coming along with us! 🤗

Haylo

We're really excited to see them all afterwards!

Haylo

We don't know about the overall story obviously to have a proper opinion, but we did really enjoy this pilot!

Haylo

The community is clearly very split! We went with the majority vote but I'm sure it's enjoyable either way. We are loving it so far!

BreadCEO

OPM AND FMA Brotherhood starting?? The next months will be peak entertainment for the two of you :D

Scavenger

Thats a horrible take.

HotShame

its only superior due to nostalgia, to me i can never watch this in Dub. usually dub sounds so silly and over-exaggerated to try and mimic the japanese energy. I only watch dubbed stuff that i have watched when i was a kid.

Ben Asay

I rewatch this every year! This will be my first sub watch through! Gonna be so fun. 😎

Scavenger

As much as i love this anime, this is the only anime that the Dub is far superior & cant bring myself to watch it again in Sub lol, hope you two enjoy!

BlindPanda

two new legit shows to the rotation love it.

Marie(舞鈴)

Even after more than 15 years, Bones' animations are still insanely cool! I can't wait to see your reactions more! When the cast of FMA was decided, Arakawa, the author, said to the voice actress of Edward Elric: "Ed is my son, and I entrust it to you." With these words in mind, she created the character of Edward through numerous retakes. I am sure you will see the results of her efforts ;)

Rohit Nair

I am aware, as I said - give it a try. No harm in it is there? You can see many folks recommending it in the comments

HauntedSandwich

Yes ma'am the hair, style on em!

Eloy BM

You think? It's pretty much the only anime episode made up instead of brought from the manga and even when it's not thaaat relevant storywise speaking, I do believe it's a pretty nice and smart introduction to some of the main characters and the plot that's ahead of us.

TamashiiTheGemini

To say I am very hyped for this watch-along is an understatement. I love this anime! It's a joy to watch you already get the imaginary corkboard up to figure out what's happening here.

Garrett Gee

they made a poll and dub lost

RocketAdminW

They consider this a spoiler please delete it

Logizmo

draeonic 🪼

Did Carissa of the Glorious Hair confuse Bradley with Hughes for a bit at the end? "Nice, funny dad" isn't what I'd call Bradley from this episode 😂

Rohit Nair

I would really recommend giving dub a try for a few episodes. If you don't enjoy revert back to sub. This is one of the good dubs out there. PLEASE DO TRY

TheCrazyPriest

Big shame about sub winning, but the dub is solid. still excited to go on this journey again!

Nadeem L

Excellent reaction! Not much to say on this first episode except thank you for reacting to it. One of the best animes ever. You guys are pretty quick, so Im excited to see how this develops

Alexander Tonkins

I dont have much to add except its really good to see the gang again after such a long time. Just need a certain blonde to turn up and we gucci

Lazy

Another series to rewatch, it's been like a decade since I last seen brotherhood. I love every single opening.

Nuni

I feel like the first episode is not the best introduction tbh. But can't wait for the next episode!

MotU_Shosha

I am very hyped for FMA:Brotherhood. This will be my first time to watch it subbed and I like that, cause without your reactions I might have never considered doing this. I only know the german dub, which is fantastic in my opinion. The flame alchemist Roy Mustang is spoken by one of my favourite german voice actors. I guess there are only two voice actors I like more and that's the one who speaks Luffy and one that speaks another One Piece character that you don't know yet, so I won't tell the name.

Ilsuk Yang

"Oh, you're the full metal alchemist" "Actually, I'm his little brother" "So, you're the full metal alchemist? But you're so little" "Who are you calling little?!?" 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, Edward, it's been a while since I've seen you. Forgot how much I missed this anime

Glory

Nooo, the dub is so good for FMAB 😭

thalia

AAA FINALLY! one piece, frieren and fullmetal alchemist brotherhood are my holy trinity of anime and i'm so happy you're finally reacting to fmab! i just know you're going to love it. it's one of the best stories ever told and i come back to it regularly. i'm exctited to do another rewatch with you two! have fun!!

Josh Lomax

Seriously one of the best anime of all time. Im primarily a Sub watcher but the Dub is so phenomenal that it's difficult for me to even watch the sub anymore. It always feels like such a step down to me. Imo, the jokes land better, the emotion hits harder and the overall voices themselves are just so ingrained in my brain that I can't imagine them with different voices. Ah well, can't win them all I guess.

Eloy BM

I really really hope you girls enjoy this heck of a ride that is the tale of the Elric brothers! I'll be restarting it soon with you as soon as I'm back home 😍
