Despite its mainstream appeal, it still maintains a mature tone that really grabs you.When I first heard about Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, I was skeptical.Seeing as the original Fullmetal Alchemist is the first anime I have ever completely watched and is the spark that ignited my obsessive love of anime that I have today, a redo seemed unnecessary to say the least.
What could possibly be improved upon a show as fantastic as Fullmetal Alchemist With hesitation and doubt in my heart I started watching the series. I wont lie, my first impressions were not only that the show didnt live up to the original, but that it was also an abomination that was dancing on the grave of a greater show. I cried, I screamed, I broke things, I didnt do any of the above because Im exaggerating and not actually crazy, but I was still quite upset. The criticisms bubbled up inside me until I was frustratingly glaring at the TV appalled at such changes as Alphonses voice actor, or a lack of the opening starting with the classic in those days, we really believed. Moments in the original that got me hooked fell flat in Brotherhood, and I was fed up and ready to write the letter of complaint to end all letters of complaint. As the episodes began to fly I realized that it wasnt good, it was great. After finishing the series I knew without a doubt in my mind that what I had witnessed was my favorite anime of all time. The story of Brotherhood is better than that of the original on so many levels that the two shows truly dont compare. If you enjoyed the story of Fullmetal Alchemist, stick with Brotherhood and I guarantee you that you will not regret it. Not only is the plot and storyline vastly improved upon and more satisfying, the animation, music (in my opinion at least, some disagree), characters, and overall feel is far better. Therefore, if you are a true fan of the original series dont give up on Brotherhood after only a few episodes like I was so tempted to do, it is a show that grows into something that will go down in history as one of the greats of animation history and you shouldnt miss out. First of all the the voice cast were chosen to perfection every voice portrays the character as who the were meant to be. Secondly The Storyline was so well written compared to the first series. And lastly the animation is very fluid no cheap faraway shots where the characters are talking but not moving which is used commonly(see Neon Genesis Evangalion). I will finish by saying that if you are going to watch one anime in the entirety of your life time Choose Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. This series was my first foray into the world of FMA, I must say, it is VERY excellent. First off, the series has a huge cast of interesting unique characters. They are each quite different from each other, and act in different ways. The way the series elegantly manages all the characters developments and story lines is a feat in itself. The series also has a fantastically crafted plot, filled with action, humor, tragedy.
