Watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood For The First Time

Ototo

The first several episodes of Brotherhood are actively not great in my opinion, they really rush through things to get to a certain point (because the audience at the time had already seen all these storylines) and then it takes off. Also the use of ''Fuhrer'' is very deliberate, it's a facist nation.

Full metal goes right after ATLA, I would like you to do the same thing on this series if you wanna :) Dub is ma pref tho ^^

FMAB is really good but Avatar good?! Hell, No that's cap. I still recommend though there is 1 scene that I like more than almost any scene of Avatar.

Fuck yeah bro. keep this series going! Its honestly my favorite anime series. Have you seen the first Full Metal Alchemist?

I can't tell you how excited I am for this. This is my favorite show and I was just thinking how much I was hoping you'd do this show after A:TLAB.

It's really annoying that the subtitles on Netflix are the direct translation from Japanese but the actual dub dialogue doesn't match since they needed to rephrase things to make the syllable count work.

The Ultimate Ed

I enjoy the action in this episode. But it's literally filler. The studio wanted to trick the audiences into thinking it's an entirely new series from the 2003 version. Which... it kinda is. From this point on, it remains MOSTLY faithful to the manga. It does speed through a few things for the first few episodes. Again, they figure most people watched the 2003 anime, which was faithful for the first few arcs before diverting into madness. So if this episode feels weird and hamfisted... it's because it's trying to do a lot of different things. It's trying to hint at plotlines the 2003 version left out. Show characters that aren't supposed to appear till later. To let manga readers that they're gonna get it right this time. WHILE ALSO trying to show that it's a different show to anime only's.

o man, just getting around to watching this and yeahhhh the first episode of brotherhood is not very good at all imo. It's completely unlike the rest of the show, it's pretty campy and generally just kind of cringy. I was honestly thinking the entire time when first seeing this "this is the show my friends are freaking out about?"

Hell yeah love this anime

Be My Valentine

If you post it, I will watch. Did you enjoy doing this style video? I’ve never actually seen the show, but I still found your comments/reactions entertaining. Looking forward to more.

Also I fuckin swear in my editing program the show audio is so much louder than when I export it. I'll fix it in the next video.

Definitely a great series with similarities to Avatar but obviously two different shows. Would be interested in seeing the whole series as a reaction as things would only get better the more practice and comfortability you get. That being said, definitely recommend continuing to watch the show even without a reaction series!
