If the pacing at the beginning isn't appealing to you, I'd suggest also watching the corresponding episodes of the original anime. Brotherhood quickly sped through the episodes that the 2003 anime had already covered because the good stuff was yet to come. People like to bash on the rushed beginning of the show, but the reason for the rushed beginning is called Fullmetal Alchemist 2003.
There's also plenty of comedy, but it never once ruins the mood of the show (cough cough Pandora Hearts). And the show does this all without losing steam or taking long breaks from the action, and also without having characters monologuing in the middle of fights. Not only does it manage to tell the story of the main two characters, Ed and Al, it also gives ample time to all the other characters to show where they come from and how they think. The story of this show is absolutely phenomenal.
I apologize in advance for this wall of text. I'm also going to address some critique that I've seen of the show and why I agree/disagree with it.Īnime because as far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist. I'm not going to do what I typically do for a review which is listing the categories and what score I gave them just know that everything is 10/10. Honestly, I don't know what I could say about this show that hasn't already been said, but I'll give it a shot anyway. So in honor of FMA Day 2014 (I know I'm a bit late), I've decided to write a review for my #1 all-time favorite anime (and manga), Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
