I love the Dub. I think as far as anime dubs go it is one of the best.

D Q

this is probably one of the top three most liked anime of all time together with one piece and Naruto. I love it too, but I won’t be watching episode four with you guys. As a parent, the cuts run too deep.

Monte

The sub is NOT better than the dub

Caradoc Elmet

So glad you're watching the subbed version. I wouldn't have watched the dub but the closeness of the vote did make me curious. I think I will watch one episode in dub for myself to see what that's all about. It's time to give one of my most disliked things one more chance, I guess. It's good to test your prejudices once in a while.

Shimini

Thanks ! Sadly i know more about it than them but ill still enjoy it for sure !

Râ

It's probably one of 5-anime where I wish I could erase my memory and experience it once again for the first time. Enjoy the ride

Griff

WATCH IT IN DUB

Luke Mckay

Im so happy to see you ladies watching this

Amiguresu

I’ve never watched this version before. I used to watch the older version of full metal alchemists. I guess I’m gonna experience this with you guys~

Miguel Hernandez

The one thing I will say about the intro and outro to this show is that get played sometimes as the show is closing out so you’ll prob hear the song either way.

Shimini

i never watched this anime so ill watch it for the first time with u hehe

CM

I watched this anime so many times since I was a kid. Idk what it is about it but I love it so much. It’s such a good story. I hope you guys like it.

fr0st

It's been a LONG time but feommmemory we start off FMA in a certain town and plotline that I won't name because spoiler which imo provides a more accessible way to get introduced to these characters and this world 😄

Ben Asay

???

Ben Asay

What did you think was gonna happen. Votes were more in favor... 🙄🙄🙄

Ben Asay

People love the dub because of the great voice cast not just nostalgia

Ben Asay

I seem to remember a action packed train scene from the first one..😜

Saban

I read the manga first, then watched sub and only recently watched dub. Dub is better by far

Oscar Lopez

FMAB let’s go! It is a little weird for me to hear it in Japanese though. I think it’s obvious that anime is usually better in its original language. Heck maybe the Japanese prefer hearing Disney animated movies in English lol. I personally enjoy dubbed anime because I can understand it more clearly, and I usually check them out after I watch the original subbed. The big 3 dubbed has a special place in my heart since they are nostalgic but all in all I am a sub guy, and I believe most anime watchers are usually as well. However, FMAB and DBZ have got to be the exception! In all honestly, I probably need to give FMAB sub a try, but I once gave the DBZ original sub a try and it’s almost a completely different show lol. Anyways, thanks for all the great reactions and interactions with your community. Peace.

やばいハガレンメッチャ嬉しい😊

The first episode of Brotherhood is very fast paced, wow. I haven't seen it in a while. Glad you picked this though, this anime is one of the best.

E. H.

They are watching Japanese dub, English sub. It's great.

Danny Patino

Watch it dub please 🙏

Mr. Slowhands

man, the only anime that i feel belongs in dub is FMAB, but oh well, sub is good too

moonte

at around ~30th episode, i don't remember, watched it 1 year ago

ScaringCrows

Well dang, I always fall off when the reaction is in Sub. That sucks but I can't argue if it won

Arnold Kim

Okay, so between one piece and FMA brotherhood, my two favorite anime/manga, I literally have something to watch from you guys every weekday. This is so great😁 It’s an amazing show, and it’s really well written, with some great setups and payoffs down the line. You guys are going to love this.😁

Arnold Kim

Yeah it’s pretty noticeable. I did the math, starting around episode 15, it’s like a 20-25% drop in chapters per episode, even excluding 2 filler eps, 2 chapters that were never adapted, and some super long chapters near the end.

Arnold Kim

How far did you get?It’s definitely front loaded with that kind of thing. While it doesn’t just drop off a cliff after a particular episode, it’s far less common in the back half than in the front.

Arnold Kim

I actually watched the sub first, when the series was first airing. Still think the dub is better.

PB CX

JMAC

Staple anime

BossKingGodd

Let it go. The poll won

BossKingGodd

Let it go. The sub won the poll

BossKingGodd

The sub is better than the dub lol. Only reason so many people love the dub is because of nostalgia

Franky E

So excited for this journey and so impressed at how much info you were able to absorb and question just from the pilot episode. Rewatching this after a long time, the pilot episode is so dense with information.

Dale Cooper

It is actually one of the anime I will say I prefer the dub over the sub. The sub isn't bad at all I just really like the dub.

fr0st

Yess, the manliest of men, Alex Louis Armstrong is here! This show had an earlier incarnation (just called Fullmetal Alchemist) that ended differently from this version because the manga wasn't done by the time so the anime folks just made up their own ending but the older one I feel starts better in that it doesn't just toss you directly into the action but sets up stuff a bit first.

Vall

Dub with Bradley or Mustang especially

Newton Acker

Oh dang, the intro has spoilers? Haven't seen it in a long time so I don't remember, but the intro song is one that still sticks with me to this day. Might be some nostalgia bias though :)

Stick Haul

during IRL earth's funkiest period of pseudoscientific advancement, the age of alchemy, the philosopher's stone was a sought-after hypothesized crucible for turning any element into any other element, most famously lead into gold. it has featured in a large amount of fantasy and science fiction literature, including the harry potter series, where it was renamed to the "sorcerer's stone" for its american publication because "philosopher" sounds boring i guess edit: to be clear i've not seen this show, this is just information from real life

Stephen husuc

It definitely was Evangelion... The amount of times Aot references it is almost absurd, in the best of ways

Amrith Selvaraj

This show is a masterpiece

Ruzoku

yewwww!! my absolute! my unequivocal! i'm so glad you girls are starting my personal #1! enjoy!

JQ

Really sad we don’t get the dub but excited that you both are watching this. Definitely one of the best anime that’s come out.

Profi206

Im really Glad you give this a try one of my favorites. This Show has it all. I Hope the discussion for sub and dub dont continue in the comments going forward. I understand that people Like it more in dub (Im Not one of them btw), I get that some will have some Nostalgia towards it and also when a show finally has a good Dub it will be held in a higher regard since its finally a very well done one. Either way I think sub also won the poll since people who dont have english as their First Language will Vote for sub. But even If you would have chosen dub I would Just watch the uncut Video with sub on my second Screen :D Wish you all the best and have fun with your 2 new Shows!

KIMI

Ed's dub is one of the highlights honestly

moonte

agree with you completely, I think the humour just not for me but I'll see how this goes :)

Ben Asay

No problem! I don't understand the dislike. I'll watch it either way 😅😎

revel

Unfortunately, for you, this is a common occurrence in most popular anime. I like it but I know it's not for everyone. It's something you'll have to either grit your teeth through and accept or just ignore the anime like you did. Be prepared though, you'll get this a lot. It's a popular thing to use. FMA is a great anime. If you can get around the comedic trope it's actually quite worth the watch. Good luck!

Haylo

That's really interesting!! This first ep felt a tad fast one could argue but it really got us hooked and wanting more right away. We're loving it!

Haylo

Thanks for trying it in a new way with us! 💖

Haylo

WHAT?! We were trying to place Ed's voice in a future ep and couldn't. Now we won't be able to unhear Hange! Such a great voice actor. 💖

Haylo

Sorry to disappoint! We're sure we would've enjoyed it either way. Really excited to see why it's so beloved! 💕

Haylo

Noted! Thank you, appreciate this info a lot!

Kat7ra

Totally get the showrunners there buuut... it does the show no real favours imo. The introduction to the world and the characters is done so much better in the manga/original anime. Not gonna do into details cause of spoilers but the 2 first episodes in the OG anime is one of my favourite introductions to any show.

moonte

man the anime "funny" tropes in this anime really annoys me, dropped it mid series 1 year ago but I'll try going to the ending this time.

Daniel Lee

Sir Alex Armstrong is the 🐐

Geo

Kinda sad your going to miss out on how good the Dub is but as long as you watch it with good subtitles it's not that big a deal.

Stephen husuc

Yeah sub is always better... The exception being fmab... The english voice actors are veterans and do a genuinely better job in my opinion... But eh the show is killer regardless so whatever

Felipe Campos

subs are gonna be better 100% of the time, but FMA dubs come really close in quality to the original, the only issue is some side characters have extremely anoying voices

Mentrion

I love the sub just because I love to hear Hange's voice again hehe. Hope you both enjoy the FMA adventure! :D

Kat7ra

Before AoT was the anime people recommended to everyone it was FMA, I've forgotten what it was before that... I want to say maybe Evangelion? Not talking about the big shonen stuff ofc, but the "how to get your friends into anime" ones. To convince them it's not all just half naked ladies or kids shows.

MrMegaman94

probably because japanese still sounds better or more familiar for watching anime. also if english is not your foreign language it is much easier to understand the context by reading instead of listening. Just my opinion as someone who has english as a second language.

Mojira

many has this show has GOAT. Amazing show. it's one of a few shows where every episode is fantastic, arguably the first episode being the worst. Enjoy the ride! this show will have you crying, laughing, and screaming within span of few minutes!

Ace Mbodji

Yay we got the sub

cooc

This show is awesome

Michael Ballinger

I have never heard the sub before and it’s so strange haha! Loved y’all’s reaction and can’t wait for more of this amazing anime!

Luca

its ok im here to listen :)

Ben Asay

No one is hurt from your comment, I just don't like uneeded toxicity...

DevilWearsAdidas

So I will say this about dubbed; this is one of the best dubbed anime out there. The VOs did an amazing job, I just wish you would give it a shot, but I understand that the votes are in. The voice over for this anime in english is top tier, definitely top 3 just for how well they portrayed the characters. I get this feeling that the majority of your fanbase are just 'sub only' fans because quite frankly, I have no clue how sub won over dub. I'm actually shocked by that. Ah well, subbed it is.

Joseph Allen

I have only 3 show I have to watch in dub. Code Geass, DBZ, FMAB

Erwin Smith

Yesss I've been waiting for this one. Enjoy the ride with this show:)

Ang

tiny bit of background - there was an original anime back in 2003 that branched off from the manga around episode 30ish, and then started telling its own story (which imo was not as good) when this show relaunched in 2009 with a plan to more faithfully follow the manga, those 30ish episodes were compressed to 13-14, some scenes were removed, and the first episode is an anime original that tries to tie up those missing pieces (the freezing alchemist is an anime only character) I think the show runners just didn't want to make the audience wait to get back to where the manga and the original 2003 anime diverged, so if the pacing feels off at all in the beginning of the show that's the reason beyond that, I would take note of Sam Nicholas's comment about the after episode scenes, there are quite a lot of them in this show

Mesha

Sub not touching the dub big dawg

Mesha

Ah hell nah sub

Deonte Hall

YES! You guys are in for an amazing time with this show. One of the best of all time.

sune jeppesson

yay sub <3

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

Rockstar

Why not watch it if they can read and watch a show as intended? It's so insulting to the voice actors. Not all americans are slow and can't read. And some want to watch the show in it's original form. You people need to chill.

Luca

Im sorry if my comment hurt you

Ben Asay

That's a little intense don't you think? Overreacting, Overdramatic? I love the dub, I grew up with it. Doesn't mean people can't like the other thing.. But you do you...🙄🤷

Ben Asay

This will be my first sub watch! I re-watch this once a year. So excited for you guys!

Isiah Gomez

How? All he’s saying is that no one likes a bully and he’s right. Bully’s suck. Like how you’re acting right now.

Isiah Gomez

Dude, you’re generalizing! I watch stuff in SUB and DUB! Do I not know how to read now?

Lee Wood

excited about this, one of the all time greatest.

Ben Asay

Don't be toxic. Some people grew up with it and it doesn't sound bad to those people. Just because people don't like it doesn't mean it's bad..

Ang

I was introduced to the original show via late night toonami (which was dubbed) and the sub is FAR superior - you only see people speak up about dub because they know they are in the minority

Ben Asay

Quit being toxic.. people can like both!!! What's unfortunate is that theres a larger number of people who will pull votes for sub, but instead of just preference, its always some dumb toxic exuse like that. People that put others down for this type of reason are not good for communities like this..no one likes a bully... be ashamed.

Luke

cant wait for ep2 thats the episode that gets everyone hooked (at least it did for me).

Rockstar

You talk to people you want to talk to. But it's far from everyone. Your choice of exposure is NOT the definite opinion.

Dark_Eternal

Come on man, why are you spoiling stuff? Please delete this.

Dandy Zoran

Bradley is the walking definition of F around and find out.

Brando

Fun fact: Fuhrer Bradley has the same voice actor as Monkey D Dragon in One Piece

Monkey bing bong

You actually can't lose with FMA:B's dub and sub. They're both good. If anything it gives a great reason to rewatch it.

Alexander Tonkins

People prefer whatever they watched 1st. Its really that simple

Regie Khemvisay

Omg the intro and outro! Not until months later? Damm.. these songs are part of the experience and I still know them by heart. But oh wells, i understand coz of spoilers. Soo excited to rewatch with u guys!!!

Lucia Petrozzi

Yeah, it's a shame because (as much as I am a sub person) when you get a good show in dub, it finally gives you a chance to focus on the animation without having to read the subs.

Jake Smith

I don't like this anime, but I'll watch it along with you.

Mawb

This. Even if we you don't react, it's worth checking it out to form your own opinion.

Mawb

Agreed. I respect their opinion to watch it subbed, but as someone who has watched both multiple times, Dub is just better. Specifically Ed and Roy imho.

Saban

Sub is amazing but Dub is actually perfection. Unfortunate that sub won

Giovanni Paredes

This!!! Same rule applies on books, movies and all sort of art tbh, always in their original language to capture the feel as the autor wants!!!!

Joshua Lindgren

I think dub is more nostalgic back from the toonami days but the sub is still really good! There was no wrong answer here imo

Luca

Stop crying about the sub, Ed's voice alone drags down the dub a lot

Shelby Baumann

Totally agree! Also, Gojo’s VA is a future character, I don’t want to spoil names.

Snowman9712

Remember there aren't just English speaking countries, so many people (like me), have never had a reason to watch the English dub and don't have any nostalgia linked to it. I still checked it out before voting, but I prefered sub

DandyZombie

Guess its probably just one of those things where whatever is your first is what you'll think is better.

Shelby Baumann

Sub has so many amazing voice actors. I feel like because it’s older so many people had to watch dub first and prefer what they originally watched. Honestly I prefer the sub.

Isiah Gomez

I don’t want to be rude but you’re literally the first person I’ve talked to the prefers the SUB.

Nervous

one thing you could do is watch the unedited reactions and just play the dub on your end

Bpet97

You heard wrong

Robin Kuiperij

I agree! I wish I saw the voting poll earlier, but I had no reason to come here for a week. xD This and Dragon Ball are the online anime I watch Dubbed.

Sonicluis

My favorite and all time number 1 anime. But why sub nooooo. People just vote to vote because I’ve always heard dub is the preferred way to go with Brotherhood.

Isiah Gomez

I have NO IDEA why the SUB won the poll. From everything I’ve heard, the DUB is more well loved!

Dark_Eternal

Funny, I thought the same thing about the dub when I tried to watch it. lol

Murali M

What’s a fun fact is the entire series is smaller than few One Piece Arcs, Imagine a full series is smaller than an arc in another show but this one still packs the same amount punch

Jonas AP

Usually i would agree that anime should be watched subbed, but this one is in my oppinion much better dubbed, I find that the original voices arent always that great, where as the english ones kills it all the way through. Highly recommend you try the dub out on your own time for a few of the first episodes and make up you own mind before commiting to the sub.

Snowman9712

Dude, they don't want their questions answered by you. The show will do that for them

Mehdi

Love to see you guys react this this beautiful story! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and I'll be following along to re-experience it through you two. Cheers!

I love Hayley

Why would you remind me of Hanj.. i still can hear her final scream in my head 😭

William Morales

Completely agree. Very rarely to I prefer a dub but the team for this one did an amazing job.

William Morales

Would have to agree. It's up there with Cowboy Bebop

Ruben Munguia

I haven’t re watched this in years and this is one of the best stories I’ve ever seen.

Zana

Enjoy the ride ladies 😁

Jose Luis Membreno

This is where the fun begins 😂😂😂 First time hearing this in sub let's go

Ruben Munguia

Oh boy lol this should be fun lol

Richard Knouff

DandyZombie

Ive never watched the sub before, this'll take some getting used too cause oof, cant believe people prefer it

Monkey D. Lucci

☝️

Sam Nicholas

Great video! Just a heads up for this show, there are a ton of post credit scenes but not on every episode so they’re easy to miss. Keep an eye out for 6, 8, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 36, 40, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 49. The endings for 45, 54, 63, and 64 are different too. Enjoy the show, it’s one of the very best!

Jeff

I highly recommend giving the dub a try on your own. I believe it's one of the best anime dubs ever made.

Ewokid

Great viewing for a refresher, hope you gals enjoy it 👍👍

Michael Rockow

So glad this series is being watched. Having watched through the series 5 time myself I can say you will love this series also. Please enjoy every minute of it.

Dan Reed

Been so long since I watched this, happy for a refresher

Zee

Haven't watch it yet (I want to watch the full one together later) but it seems you watch the sub! So happy! I know the dub for this show is on the good side, but nothing beats watching shows in their original language. Ed's voice actress is the same as Hanji's btw, she's so cool!

Scumdog of the WWE Universe

Oh man, this show gets really dark. This is gonna be a fun ride

Yasmine

Crying, and throwing up and I’m so excited!! One of the only series I love the dub for, and was hoping you’d try it 🥺but alas, I’m so happy you’ll be experiencing this story!!

Shelby Baumann

Same!! So hyped!

Zana

Hope you guys enjoy the show! I won't watch the sub with yall (dub only fan for this series), but I'll still follow for one piece content.

CacoMetal

Hello ladies again 😁 This is going to be interesting, I remember having seen this series a long time ago but it will undoubtedly be a joy to see it again with you.

manny

fmab and opm is a crazy duo

Vaby da Kat

Yasss!

Elinaboo

You guys are as sharp and observant as ever :D Hope you like the journey!

Joseph Allen

If you’re doing sub all the way thru I recommend you give the dub a try sometime on your own time if you plan a second watch thru. I’m usually a sub guy but for me it’s very rare for an English dub to be so good in my opinion. Sub takes me out sometimes depending on the place/ characters/ settings.

johan wejdin

Very very happy with subbed FMA and one punch man, making the subscription worth it!

Allen Ruiz

Oh you are right! I didn't catch that, thank you for pointing it out to me. Everyday is a good day ☺️

Ilsuk Yang

Yeah, One Piece is usually the only show they do a double (occasionally triple) drop for due to its length

Eloy BM

I guess that's because, according to their schedule, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays they're watching two animes now =P

Shelby Baumann

They are releasing One Punch Man today too so technically it will be two episodes ☺️

Eloy BM

Finally! 😍 Can't wait to make it home this evening and start rewatching this amazing journey with you two. I really hope you enjoy the ride!

jep2003

LETS GOOO

Snowman9712

Just a heads up regarding the two new shows: One Punch Man isn't as story heavy, so the comment section there should be pretty safe, but for FMAB you should be a bit more careful. It's more of a mix, similar to One Piece

Allen Ruiz

Oh, one episode instead of two, interesting! :D Either way, I have something to look forward to each day of the week!
