Hope I’m it too late, watch the first adaptation first. Yes it’s slower and doesn’t have as much packed in, but it gives a more in-depth story and focuses on characters so you care more about them. In Brotherhood for example, we see Trisha Elric for all of 20 seconds before we get a very blunt “and now mom’s dead” like most Shonen Protagonists. In the original we get a whole episode dedicated to her and the boy’s lives before her death, and even a scene where Winry finds out her parents died in the war and it makes them fear for their mother’s life... it’s nice to see them realize and appreciate her before it’s too late. Then seeing what, 7yr old Ed? With tired, dark, sunken eyes as he watched his mother die before him, the grave they just BURIED in flowers, it’s just the most heart wrenchingly sweet and sad thing in this world. In Brotherhood the shine doesn’t even fade from his eyes, let alone any of the amazing animation we see as they dilate and realize in the original. Plus, you get a lot more time with Maes and you get to see him out in the field and in that snazzy purple outfit. Most characters in Brotherhood don’t have much backstory, or have really rushed backstory because it assumes you’ve already seen the first or read the Manga. All the most important things like major deaths are handled in single episodes and do not get the time, amazing music, or lighting direction they deserve. A lot of characters in the “filler” episodes are brought back and given bigger roles in Brotherhood, (like Yoki) but their “filler” episodes that give them a proper introduction, set up the world more, and show us more of the main character’s personalities through putting them in different situations, is completely cut out. The music honestly is better(note “Brat’ja” the Elric’s theme, look up the English version sung by Ed’s VA), lighting direction too! And don’t get me started on expression. The original adaptation is far from scared of putting aside its glossy sheen and polished animation and making everything look dirty, and real, and horrifying. Not to downplay Brotherhood though, DEFINITELY watch it after the first! You might need a different ending after the first just to sleep at night, and besides, so many great characters are only in Brotherhood! General Armstrong, Ling, Xaio-Mei, Etc... and it does a wonderful job at hyping, giving you the most satisfying fights and conclusions ever, and giving you a real sense of how big the world is! Sorry for the long comment, I can’t help myself. - Sincerely, an Otaku
I figured out he was my favorite character. In the middle of REwatching the finale. My thought: Well, no wonder episode 10 hit like an emotional freight train.
I love FMA sm and the ended hit with “yeah a heart made fullmetal “ and I relate sm with the whole show and that quote…only regret about watching it is watching brotherhood with my x but months later of breaking up I was so happy I saw the true ending of them having kids
Beautiful!!! I LOVE FMA. Perfect mix of angst and epicness. Also, perfect scene selection for the music - the minimal effects work great with the way you arranged everything.
this is probably one of the most beautiful amvs i’ve ever seen. i remember seeing it when it was first posted and not knowing anything about the show! it stayed in my head tho, and after finally watching fma:b i immediately thought of it. it was then that i realized you had privatized/unlisted all of your videos. that was over 2 months ago and i’ve just accidentally found this video on someone’s playlist. now that i’ve watched the show, watching this masterpiece is twice as enjoyable. also - i hope you’re doing well. i understand and support your decision - it’s always good to take a break. :)
just wanted to type a little comment here it's 5 am and I watched this video and started crying like crazy literally, like at the point where you scream in pillow and can't breathe and I think this is the best thing you could achieve as an editor absolutely stunning work this show means the world to me and you did it so delicate and unique that it hit right deep inside my heart thank you for this a masterpiece at it's finest.
I keep coming back to watch this edit every once in a while and somehow it still get‘s better. It captures everything that‘s good about FMA:B and feels like a mini rewatch.
this video was posted a long time ago now but this is still literally my favorite amv of all time. you captured both the song and the show so perfectly. idk it's just perfect
u have a very beautiful, smooth, and distinctive editing style. this was so heartbreaking and bittersweet 2 watch. keep up the good work, im sure ull make it next year!!
To be honest, I usually don't like a whole lot of videos like these but oh my GOD this was amazing, it's absolutely perfect and so well made and just the song is perfect and how you timed some scenes just Super nice dude, good job!!
I love your FMA edits. I might compete in Anime Boston if I can ever gather the courage to edit again, but good luck either way! xD This was quite inspirational. I like how powerful and angry this felt.
This is so perfectly edited!!! The structure of the verses and the chorus is so perfectly followed!! Omg I don't know I have have watched something so amazing!!
I just recently finished watching this show (I know I’m pretty late) and ever since then I can’t stop rewatching this amv, it’s just so beautiful and it makes me emotional
This shit needs more attention because God damn this is amazing. I periodically come back and rewatch this every month at least, like it's gotta be one of the best amv's I've ever seen. The song, the timing, the scenes, everything was so perfect. I think I only cried when Hughes died, but this sure made me teary eyed through the whole thing and does an excellent job of showing the pain and trauma all of the characters went through
Ok I honestly don't even know where to start after watching this, this is incredible from start to finish, the timing, the music selection, the quality, and just like ugh the whole edit is just so incredible.
Literally no one gave you the right to cause this, okay? This was phenomenal. I’ve been missing FMA so incredibly much. This was so ridiculously well edited, all the clips matched the lyrics. Whether directly or poetically. Just NO ONE GAVE YOU THE RIGHT
How could 6 people dislike this!? This is an incredible work of art! They should be in shame for clicking that dislike button! Just stunning, well-timed, and amazing ❤️😁
Thank you for this. This AMV is the best I have ever seen for FMAB. FMAB is my favorite anime and I really appreciate this. Me and my friends all love this
Choking on my emotions so hard, I'm breaking down in my own hallway. I'm so in love with this anime, but you've made me love it tenfold. Bless you, bless you so hard.
This is my absolute favorite FMA:B video. Like wow. My heart can’t take the feels. Literally crying afterwards. This was done perfectly. I love it so much!!! Your stuff is awesome.
I'm just crying here at night over an amv of an anime And my parents are in the room next to me so I have to be quiet But dang this really broke me, I don't cry that easily anymore so this shows the quality
this,, is one of the most perfect amvs i've ever seen?? this is one of my favourite songs, and i've never seen an amv do it justice; until now. you manage to fit in as many dramatic moments, as many powerful emotions as you can into 4 minutes, and you do it so so well. the timing is amazing, it just /feels/ epic, and the minimal cuts and effects work super super well. good job on this!
I have a deep and hard to explain relationship with fmab and this song especially.. to say that this video is beautifully painful feels like an understatement.
So, um, I've never watched this show before
*I think I'll go watch it now..*
Have you now tho? 😂
@@orestispasio oh yeah a while ago now

My thoughts throughout the whole anime:
I figured out he was my favorite character. In the middle of REwatching the finale.
My thought:
Well, no wonder episode 10 hit like an emotional freight train.
I'm just crying here because of how incredible this edit is ;__;
ㅤmariabesson it’s okay I’m crying to
Only a true FMA fan can understand the magic of this editing....well done
I love FMA sm and the ended hit with “yeah a heart made fullmetal “ and I relate sm with the whole show and that quote…only regret about watching it is watching brotherhood with my x but months later of breaking up I was so happy I saw the true ending of them having kids
Beautiful!!! I LOVE FMA. Perfect mix of angst and epicness. Also, perfect scene selection for the music - the minimal effects work great with the way you arranged everything.
the whole "...but i am forever missing him" got me shook. you are fantastic! kudos!
It's as if Mustang said it to Hughes... pain
And the fact that it has the visuals it does...
Pain.
this is probably one of the most beautiful amvs i’ve ever seen. i remember seeing it when it was first posted and not knowing anything about the show! it stayed in my head tho, and after finally watching fma:b i immediately thought of it. it was then that i realized you had privatized/unlisted all of your videos. that was over 2 months ago and i’ve just accidentally found this video on someone’s playlist. now that i’ve watched the show, watching this masterpiece is twice as enjoyable. also - i hope you’re doing well. i understand and support your decision - it’s always good to take a break. :)
Fullmetal is my favorite anime and I rarely see good amvs with it but this was fantastic. Good job.
So true!!! I'm still crying. It is truly beautiful
The fact I get teary eyes just from the first few opening cords
just wanted to type a little comment here
it's 5 am and I watched this video and started crying like crazy
literally, like at the point where you scream in pillow and can't breathe and I think this is the best thing you could achieve as an editor
absolutely stunning work
this show means the world to me and you did it so delicate and unique that it hit right deep inside my heart

this video was posted a long time ago now but this is still literally my favorite amv of all time. you captured both the song and the show so perfectly. idk it's just perfect
can't stop watching this. this should be sent to anyone you're trying to convince to watch fmab. it had me in tears.
The dwarf in the flask caused all of it.
First Voltrons and now this. You keep breaking my heart but I keep coming back for more. Keep up the good work my friend.
It's nice to find someone who likes FMA and Voltron! Those are my favorite fandoms! And yeah these videos make me cry.
Late to the party, but Fullmetal_B*tch (censored for YT) on AO3 has an insanely good FMA:B x Voltron series. Not just one fic but a whole series.
This truly is one of my favorite amvs of all time. Excellent editing, my emotions run wild at the memories of this fantastic show 🥺
This actually made me cry. Right at “if you’re still bleeding you’re the lucky one”. this is beautiful.
Youth is one of my favorite songs so it's super nice seeing it done justice 😭 Well done!
Another fine addition to my collection
Best fmab amv ever
Fantastic edit. FMA is seriously one of the best series of all time.
Holy crap, I wouldn't have thought of how incredibly fine this song works with FMA:B. This is just mesmerizing, I love the montage
I’m still recovering from rewatching this show. And now you’ve gone and made me cry.
u have a very beautiful, smooth, and distinctive editing style. this was so heartbreaking and bittersweet 2 watch. keep up the good work, im sure ull make it next year!!

Criminally underrated this is.
I love your FMA edits. I might compete in Anime Boston if I can ever gather the courage to edit again, but good luck either way! xD This was quite inspirational. I like how powerful and angry this felt.
This is so perfectly edited!!! The structure of the verses and the chorus is so perfectly followed!! Omg I don't know I have have watched something so amazing!!
I'm so happy that so many people think that fma/b is masterpiece and best anime
I love this anime so much. FMA:B is my favorite anime/manga ever. And this AMV is one of my favorites.
I LOVE THIS SONG, AND THIS ANIME, beautiful video!!!! I loved all the parallels you did with the scenes/timing! Great work!
NShippudenFan what song is this?
I'm so glad that I found this edit, it's just so good 😢💓

I just recently finished watching this show (I know I’m pretty late) and ever since then I can’t stop rewatching this amv, it’s just so beautiful and it makes me emotional
this is a masterpiece. the lyric-scene connections are incredible and the timing and the emotion it sends is amazing. you have a lot of talent!

I'm just crying here at night over an amv of an anime
And my parents are in the room next to me so I have to be quiet

one of the best fma amv i have ever seen
you ever just cry because of how beautiful something is?
me: "fmab is my comfort show"
said comfort show:
:')
this,, is one of the most perfect amvs i've ever seen??
this is one of my favourite songs, and i've never seen an amv do it justice; until now. you manage to fit in as many dramatic moments, as many powerful emotions as you can into 4 minutes, and you do it so so well. the timing is amazing, it just /feels/ epic, and the minimal cuts and effects work super super well. good job on this!
2021 you're a legend ...hope you're doing well
