I just realized something when watching this, this anime surpasses the manga in every way from the chapters I've read.

The story, Fullmetal Achemist, is supposed to be seen, not read, because there's so many awesome scenes, as Arveene just mentioned in the spoiler. Especially the one with Lust was just pure eye fuck. This anime is definitely one of the greatest animes and greatest anime adaptions in my book. And thinking about this episode; there's 30+ episodes more? YES SIR.

I recently started to read the manga, but stopped again, because of the reasons above, this shit needs to be seen. Besides I hate reading manga on the computer...

Ok, so I just jumped in randomly and watched that episode to see how things were coming along. Despite the 3 or 4 unwarranted bouts of comedy during the fights, I was very impressed! After watching that, I'm probably going to watch the whole thing once it finishes up. Hopefully I can deal with the horrid comedy

For those who aren't sure about the series, you can also watch it on hulu.com, instead of downloading it. It's the subbed version and the episodes come out two weeks after the original air date.

If you mean to say that fansubs are better than streaming, then it should be fansubs > streaming.

Well, I'm glad I stuck with it through the first 10 episodes. They were bad, very bad. And given how the show has picked up since then, it's a shame that the opening episodes are so weak. But the show has pulled a 12 Kingdoms, and after a bad, very bad start, it's looking to be favorite. Although, I could do without boobs jiggling humorously in the middle of a fight scene.

Oh, so I just have to do the opposite of what I'd do when doing that thing I need to do to when explaning that thing. Ah..

One question for the Brotherhood watchers who haven't seen the old series.

Were the the first 10 episodes bad for you?

newy · « **Reply #152 on:** August 12, 2009, 11:10:39 AM »

No, but I had the feeling that it was fast. Now they are noticably slower paced.

Episode 19 was fucking sick... Can't wait to see what comes next.

I really don't understand why everybody is bitching about the few 10 or so episodes. I've enjoyed every episode so far. In fact, every Monday for the past 6 years or so my friends and I gather to get drunk, watch anime, play video games. So, the releases of the new FMA have been great for Drunk Before 5 Mondays. I've been telling them about how people here are bitching about the comedy during the episodes and nobody(myself included) understand why.

So, if you haven't seen it yet, just watch it and make your own decision... you could waste your life doing much worse things.

Question: Did you watch the first series?

Drunk Before 5 Mondays?

We obviously like this series for very different reasons. But really to each their own. The comedy doesn't really bother me. I just think sight gags about girls with giant boobs are lame, so that particular joke fell flat for me.

Overall, I would suggest to anyone who saw the first series and has been disappointed with this one that they pick it up from episode 10.

I'm just saying that they are two different series. I really like how the first series was done. It was something I couldn't wait to watch every week.

I was also able to get a lot of people in to anime through FMA because of how well they did something that people can relate to. The loss of a parent can drive you to do something with your life that has some meaning.

With that said, I can also say that I've seen it many times over and I don't need all the backstory that I already know.

I personaly think that the lighthearted humor is a nice break from how overall depressing of a story it can be. Be it by myself, or drinking with some friends on my day off. I hope that's why everybody does! 8^]

Why do you watch FMA? I do it because I'm entertained when I do. That's enough for me.

My comment wasn't meant to be a dig at you or anything. Sorry if it came across that way.

I pretty much watch any show primarily for character development and plot, and I don't find a show entertaining if these elements are lacking. I'm the first to admit that I'm really picky. Part of the reason I don't often watch anime with any of my friends is that they always ask me what I think of a show afterward and then get annoyed when I tell them.

The first 10 episodes of Brotherhood are thick with new, interesting plot points, but they are short on character development. You're right in saying that these are two distinct series, and therefore Brotherhood isn't gonna get a pass from me just 'cause I'm already familiar with some of it. If I had never seen the first series, I wouldn't have bothered with this new one past the first few episodes.

I'm glad I stuck it out, however. It's turned around just like 12 Kingdoms did after those first 8-10 really bad episodes.

I'm particularly struck with how much more of a stand out character Al is this time verses the first series. I liked him before, but I like this stronger and slightly more willful Al even better. He provides more of a balance for Ed.
