Do not watch this if you're new to anime.
# __Verdict__
This is __undoubtedly__ one of the top 3 animes to have ever been produced. The art, the music, the story and it's characters all fit together perfectly. If you choose this as your first anime, you will hold almost every other anime to it's standards for quite a while. For this reason…
Read full review on AniList →Watch this show like really it's a must watch. Everything here was just flawless.
__Even though the shounen genre may have been overrated sometimes by the anime community itself, and me myself hated it being a repeated concept in the industry, FullMetal Alchemist;Brotherhood showed me what this kind of genre really is capable of. I see shounen as being just non-stop action and hy…
Read full review on AniList →A great show but does not meet the hype!
This is a very good show, but it was still disappointing because I started the show thinking it would be a masterpiece, seeing as it is ranked #1 in MAL and so highly praised by so many people. Here is all the places I thought the anime felt off:
**SPOILER ALERT**

Read full review on AniList →Let's talk about the mess that is Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Hello, dear readers.
In stark contrast to the cascade of positive reviews Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood has, this relatively short write up is going to hit many fans in the raw nerve. Am I new to anime? No. Am I a Shounen lover? No. Perfect- the least amount of bias.
Before we begin, I'll give…

**What** are we fighting for?
Is it for....Greed? ****? Gluttony? Sloth? Pride? Wrath? Envy?
Maybe all of the above? Maybe none of the above?
It could be that we fight because of an ignited Flame or a deep Scar? Maybe we hide behind Armor or go all out in a Fullmetal manner?
Everything? Noth…

I think I'll never be able to recover from this. I've been watching anime for years, but every time I think of FMAB my heart immediately tears open, I don't even know from where to start.

Read full review on AniList →Brotherhood is a masterful work, skillfully keeping its themes and stories impactful across generations.
I'm still of the opinion that this is one of my favourite anime shows out of both nostalgia and out of pure unadulterated enjoyment. Despite my perfect rating, upon my rewatch I did notice a lot about <i>Brotherhood</i> that stuck out much more than it did originally when I was younger, for better a…

~~~ `From a journey of a boy and his younger brother desperately trying to get to feel their mother's warmth again to the same brothers desperately trying to get their body back, BUT without using no one (but themselves) as a ****.` That's what makes them special.

I know there's a fair amount of debate as to what the "correct" way to watch _Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood_ is. Some insist you have to watch the original series, while others say you don't. Since there was a lot of contradictory information floating around the inter…

I have a love-hate relationship with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
First of all, I’d like to say that my main mistake was going in expecting it to blow me away and be the best anime of all time, which it wasn’t. If I found it of my own accord and watched it without knowing that fact I would ha…

So when I enter in the anime world, my friend recommended Fullmetal Alchemist to me, he says "oh this is easily the best action anime ever." But I watch the wrong anime lol.

__Above average, but not a "9" __
This show, despite its insane popularity is about as good as any other shounen of its time. The characters are fun enough to see interact, and the greater story threads turn an adventure anime into a grand supernatural conspiracy, which was very impressive. There's…
