Everyone said this was a great anime. I decided to watch it because of a clip I saw of Mustang snap firing Envy's ass, I thought it was looked awesome. Lets just say I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. It really is a great one. I binged it and thats 64 episodes so I may not remember everything I wanted to say.
10/10 anime would definitely recommend a watch.
- Very interesting from the start. Usually anime take a certain time to get into them like maybe the 20th episode. Since its so short I guess it only makes sense.
- There was no Netero or Yamamoto of this anime. Maybe if you count Bradley but he was a bad guy, I always look for those leader types who are crazy strong but there wasnt any in this anime.
- Hughes death
- Sad, he was a great character and I was surprised by his death. But he went out great, totally showed his intelligence. - Nina's Story - Pretty damn tragic. I love this anime for taking a minor character and making them big through the main character's resolve. Nina's story was small but Ed and Al never forgot about her.
- 7 Sins
Lust - Maybe died too early? I thought she was a good female villain, maybe her character could have been expanded upon.
Greed - Just awesome. Favorite sin and one of my favorite characters. I didnt think he was going to be such a major character when he first came on but I still liked him alot and am glad he was a major part.
Wrath - Epic. Man had an eye patch, nuff said.
Gluttony - He seemed very innocent when he wasnt in monster mode. Like when he traveled with Al but then Pride came lol.
Envy - Ugly ass second form. Real form had an innocent voice.
Sloth - Bulky ass tank.
Pride - Cool abilities. I am glad Selim was reborn in a way to be an innocent child. - I liked how the goal of the main characters had nothing to do with becoming stronger, they wanted their bodies back. There was no training arc which I loved.
- Power scale was pretty even across the board. Even minor characters were shown to be great fighters like La Fan and Foo. No one was overly above anyone else except for Father and the sins.
- The Ed's short run on got a little annoying so thankfully that was lessened towards the end.
- Everyone mistaking Al for the Fullmetal Alchemist was funny though because of Al's reaction.
- The constant 'Teacher' and 'Brother' got annoying but I am guessing its because I watched the Dub instead of the sub where they probably said 'Sensei' and 'Ani-chan'?
- While it had fighting thankfully it was not very flashy but flashy enough. A lot of it was contained to certain abilities like earth creation and such. Abilities didnt differ much among the Alchemists and a lot of the strong people werent even Alchemists.
- Surprisingly I wasnt a big fan of any of the openings and ending except for the first opening. I love the part where the beat picks up and it shows Ed's arm and leg disappearing, Al's whole body and then Winry just doing whatever lol.
- When Drachma appeared I thought there was about to be some epic battle but they got fodderized LOL.
- I am glad Mr.Tiger survived. Epic when he bit right into Kimblee's neck. Wrecked.
- Roy Mustang was just awesome. The Flame alchemist is a total win.
- It was interesting how we later found out why Ed was so short, I liked the reasoning as some nutrients were being used to keep Al's body alive. I liked how they were connected.
- Very dark themes overall like right from the start with human transmutation and then the Ishvall War.
10/10 anime would definitely recommend a watch.
