Greed in humans may seem to be about wealth & status, but what deep down Greed (or people in general) really wanted is companionship. Same for Envy, Envy represents all humans that are jealous of other people's traits & companionship; of which he never had. So it is understandable that many people will sympathise with them, because those 2 sins are self-destructive.
I pitied Envy even tho he was a piece of shit he was still likeable, his relationship with Al was hilarious and in the end it was sad wacthing him die after we find out he just wanted to be human and live a normal life
@@int0the3p1t32 Mustang was pretty much out for revenge at that point, Envy killed his best friend, then threatend his MOST valuable underling, I would be pissed as well!
One of my favorite moments in the show is when Edward breaks the door open and tells alphonse that he is without a doubt coming back. + the outro music was perfectly linked and sounded great.
Also, what I loved much about the anime was about it's Symbolization and hidden meaning to it. The examples are: Homunculi's death and its relation to main characters What the character that performed human transmutation lost. First, going into Homunculi's death, you would know that All 7 of them died related to their sins. Lust died in the hands of womanizer, Greed died sacrificing everything for one thing he wanted, sloth died because he was too lazy to fight, Envy died after he realized that he envied humans, Wrath died with a pieceful smile on his face, Pride died because he threw away his pride as Homunculus, Gluttony was eaten by his fellow homunculus. Also relate to the character that they died to, and you can see how the plot was carefully and so meticulously made. Pride was killed by the boy alchemist who lost his limbs and brother's body because he was too proud that he thought he could go against natural law to retrieve his mother. Later, after he gives up alchemy which was his source of pride, he was able to retrieve what he lost. Lust was killed by a womanizer who was trying to protect the one he really cares. Mustang was the character who was most strongly related to lust. Ling came to Amestris in his greed for succession of throne and philosopher's stone. In the whole process, he lost "greed" but because greed was sacrificed he was able to safely return to his country and fulfill his greed. (Greed weakened father a lot) Scar who was so blinded by rage that he killed whoever was on his way that were people of Amestris, had to "get over his rage" and work with people of Amestris he hated so much to really "kill Wrath which was his real arch-nemesis" (which both make sense in homunculus and emotion itself) Sloth was killed by Alex Armstrong who was looked down by his own sister because he ran away from Ishvallan war (refusing to remain in the army to make it different nor actively going against army's wrong ways) He overcame his idleness and was than able to defeat Sloth.
If I was a space alien and I saw that giant androgynous cyclops sprout up from the Earth and scream at the sky, I'd say fuck this and high tail it to the next galaxy.
Personally, my best scene was Edward's last transmutation. That is one scene in anime that showed scene does not need a fight to be epic. Also, people are salying Brotherhood is full of shit because it is just about fighting, but if younjust saw this anime as a typical "Good guy wins the bad guy , Great fight is all that has" kind of anime, either you are so into original version that you did not watch it carefully, or you just didn't watch it. This is Anime that portrays " We humans are not so perfect, but because we try to improve our wrong and have other people to correct our wrongs, we achieve greatness." Compare dialogue between Truth-Father and Truth-Ed. You can see what you missed in the anime and what it os truly trying to say.
My favorite moments: Honorable mentions: 1. Greed's sacrifice: This was close to being in the Top 5, but the scenes that were chosen are just too good. Greed was always one of my favorite characters, but his dying moment of awesome only made my love grow stronger. Seeing Greed finally giving something up to stop Father, and finding out that all he really wanted was friends, was so, so beautiful. And it makes sense: Father purged his emotions in order to become perfect, but wanting to become God is greedy. So he only purged his desire for friends, which was the exact reason Greed betrayed him in the first place. And Greed's friendship with Ling and Ed was truly genuine, a perfect end for such a humane homunculus. 2. Greed, Fu, and Buccaneer vs. Bradley: This was the beginning of Greed's finale. Watching him duke it out with Bradley was filled with hype and excitement. Seeing Bradley defeat Greed in Dublith made his victory all the more satisfying. Fu and Buccaneer's sacrifice, Falman's courage, and Ling's rage leading to the destruction of the Ultimate Eye, all made for a wonderful battle. 3. Roy kills Lust: Definitely one of the most satisfying defeats in the series. After seeing Lust cripple Havoc and nearly kill Roy, I was almost sure that she won. But when Roy made that first spark, I knew that she was screwed. And the foreshadowing of Roy being blinded by pain was so clever and threatening. 4. Ed stops Winry from killing Scar: One of the most saddest scenes for me. Winry's reaction to the revelation of her parents murder was absolutely depressing. I hoped and prayed that she wouldn't kill Scar. But the fact hat Scar was accepting Winry killing him added a new layer of depth to his character. And I'll never forget the way Ed removed her grip, while counting the wonderful things she has done for everyone. Top 5: 5. Scar vs. Bradley: This was the culmination of Scar's journey from hatred to dedication. After living a horrid life of hating Amestris, killing State Alchemists out of revenge for his people, Scar finally learned to accept coexistence between nations, and fought to solidify that future. Seeing two nameless men, seething with rage, fighting for the good of either side, was so fitting for the both of them. And when Scar revealed his tattooed arm, using Alchemy to it's fullest, was both unexpected and earned. And Bradley's speech about how he loved his life, spending the last moments of his life in peace, just pleased me. Definitely a fitting finale for both men. 4. Al vs. Pride and Kimblee: This was absolutely one of Al's greatest achievements. After spending dozens of episodes vowing to not use the Philosopher's Stone, Al finally used one to fight back. Heinkel's persuasion couldn't have been said any better. Al's creativity in combat, Pride of all people being put on the ropes, Heinkel mortally wounding Kimblee, even Yoki ramming Pride in the face was nothing short of awesome! 3. Ed vs Father: Arguably the greatest final battle in the history of anything! Throughout the entirety of Father's journey, he just kept winning, and winning, and winning, until he finally achieved his goal. If not for Hohenheim's counter-Transmutation Circle, I thought that everyone was a goner. But seeing Father fail so miserably, having Greed give his friends a fighting chance, and everything that everyone threw at Father was so awesome. But when Al gave up his soul to bring Ed's arm back, just broke me. Seeing Ed throw every ounce of his fury on Father, and his mocking of him being reminiscent of Cornello's defeat back in the beginning, gave me even more hope for victory. 2. Envy's defeat: Now this, this was something else. After Envy murdered Hughes, I was so looking forward to seeing Roy find out and kill Envy. But the way that Envy mocked Maes by bringing up how "pathetic" he was, shapeshifting into Gracia, laughing at Roy, I was just as pissed as he was. Every single blast felt so satisfying. But at the same time, it felt so painful to watch Roy destroy himself. I was afraid that he would never be able to return if he did kill Envy. The fact that Scar of all people was able to talk him out it, it just amazed me. But what hit the nail on the coffin, was Envy's suicide. Everything Ed said to Envy, tearing him apart piece by piece, just screamed emotions. Envy's emotional pain far exceeded his physical pain. His tears, his deconstruction, and his goodbye were so heartfelt, that it hurt. 1. Ed's final transmutation: I couldn't have chosen a better spot for this scene than #1. Everything that Ed and Al have gone through to get their bodies back all led up to this. When Ed offered up his Gate of Truth to bring Al back, even *Truth* was shocked! And when Ed told us "who needs Alchemy when I've got them," it felt so heartwarming and satisfying. When Ed and Al walked back home, I never felt so relieved. This story couldn't have ended any better than this. Fullmetal Alchemist will always be the (near-)perfect story to me, no doubt about it.
Dude, your list is amazing! Hohenheim's death, Father getting The Truth, Pride's death, Mustang's lost of sight, the whole episode 4, Ed finding Al's body are other moments i absolutely love.
"But will he be coming to get you?" "He will. Definitely."The absolute trust Alphonse places in his brother is just so incredible. He doesn't doubt for a moment that Edward will come after him.
I think Mustang losing it and completely unleashing his full power on Envy is epic. I couldn't show the whole thing because of time constants, but the struggle he has afterwards with Ed and Hawkeye while remembering Hughes is one of the most poignant moments in any anime. His fight against Envy is when Mustang completely loses it, unleashes his full power, and his rage almost completely consumes him.
5. I LOVED that fight, Alphonse was such a badass there. Before I go any further though, I believe that all the fights in brotherhood are ALL beautifully animated. 4. That was a pretty high tension moment there, I thought everyone was going to get fucked. 3. That wasn't a fight, that was an exhaustion becuase roy was a fucking BADASS THERE. Honestly it was my number 1. 2. Scar has got some serious moves and bradley was a really menacing tough opponent in the series. 1. That would have been my number 2, just for the fact the way ed beat the shit out of the "father" guy was done so well and I love how everyone was cheering him on during the beatdown.
i think another epic moment (idk what ranking it would get) is when edward finds his brother's body in his soul and says that he's gonna get the body back ("wait for me"). that's a great scene.
A lot of people mentioned that. I love Roy v Lust, but I limited myself to one epic moment per character. I've always seen Roy v Envy as the defining moment for Mustang because it's when we see him at his darkest point. He loses control and unleashes his full rage on Envy. There's a lot more going on in the Envy fight for Mustang as a character than the Lust fight.
A lot of people have said this. I love the Lust fight too, it's Mustang's moment of badass glory. However, the Envy fight is his moment of badass hatred. This fight has a lot more character development, exposing his biggest flaws. Plus, I love seeing Mustang completely lose it when he burns Envy nonstop near the end.
every scene from the manga has more text than the TV adaptation. But some scenes it's too much. For example, the manga has 1 volume (200 pages) for Ishval Civil War, and the anime adaptated into 1 just episode (30).
Al wasn't lying when he said he is a better fighter than Ed. That kind of quick thinking in battle, tricks after tricks to do, even with a philosopher stone, is hard to do. And that is him fighting with mercy in his mind, not to massacre people.
Father meeting "God" was by far the most epic scene in my opinion! i was like this when i saw this scene: O____________O and this still make my bones shake everytime i watch it
A lot of people mentioned Lust. I love that moment, but I personally like Roy v Envy more because it's showing Roy at his lowest point, when he's completely given in to his rage (it also shows how much of a badass he is). There, he completely lets loose and shows off how deadly he is.
The number one... it is so sad and I really have to cry. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is one of the best Anime in the world. It's so amazing how he uses his alchemy.
The death of Pride feat. Solf J. Kimblee, will always be Nr.1 epic to me! But I liked your choices too! I just love the way he waves back to Edward whilst fading into oblivion! Kimblee was awesome!
Always, and always, the very best and epic scene ever is when Al sacrifices himself in order to save his big brother. God! Ed's scream is SOOO real!! "STOOOOOOOP!!!" I love you Romi Paku -w- and I love you Arakawa-sama! ;w;
Envy vs Mustang was a brilliant fight but I found it to be also one of the saddest. Envy was being tortured physically constantly, was jealous of humans but tried to act like he was above them and was one of my 2 favourite homunculi (pride is the other), so, to me, ended up being a character that I almost pitied. Mustang was completely consumed by rage, revenge and anger. Both of them were suffering massively in some way during that fight, so I just felt sorry for both of them
10:53-11:01.... Edward Elric's most epic moment... in all of the series and manga. Such intensity. His voice is so SERIOUS AND FIERCE.. You could feel his anger!
Nice job compiling these, though I admit I was a bit peeved by the quality. If I could add 5 more to this list though, it would be (in no particular order): the first Greed's death, Greed's final death, Greed vs Wrath at the beginning of episode 45, Fu's death, and Lust's death. But that's just my personal preference :P
man this anime blew my f***king mind away, one greatest anime of all time no questions asked. Heck this cant even be classified as just an anime anymore, its that great. theres so many epic moments, envy's first transformation, ed seeing Al's body in the gate for the first time, and the one that got to me Van Hoenhimes death, which was done very well. and the list goes on. man if i ever see the author that created this masterpiece, i will shake their hand.
I knew I wanted a Wrath moment at number two. Almost chose his fight with the tank but ended up with his fight with Scar just because he's so ridiculously strong even when severely injured, to the point where he grabs the sword with his teeth just to land a final blow. How epic and badass is that!
Tbh, I agree with what everyone says. This was the first anime I ever watched properly(well the original series at least) back when I was 10 years old. This is what truly made me fall in love with anime. When I heard about brotherhood I was so psyched. And it really delivered. It's just the best series hands down. Even over naruto and fairy tail( my two personal faves out of the really big anime)
And finally, somebody being grateful for the subbed version. Seriously, I'm so tired of people saying "Dub > Sub" on subbed videos, when people on dubbed videos go bonkers simply because they're dubbed. So, thank you.
And again, we have a video full of people saying "You should have used the English version. Dat's so much better." I'm fucking telling you, NOBODY'S EVER SATISFIED. YOU COULD MAKE A VIDEO WITH BOTH LANGUAGES IN IT SIMULTANEOUSLY AND PEOPLE WOULD STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE VOICE ACTING. GOD, WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVERY SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THE FREAKING VOICE ACTING??? I'm sorry, but I'm REALLY tired of seeing these kinds of comments on FMA videos, English or Japanese. Either way, people are always complaining about the language in the comment sections.
Drawtoonz Studio I usually keep quiet about it... but FMA... the english voices seem to fit some of the characters much better, like alex armstrongs voice in japanese just doesn't fit his eccentric and prideful attitude while the english one is just so damn perfect, and well, EDs original voice just hurts my ears so damn much DX he doesn't sound like a guy at all, i get he's young but he starts the series at 15! most have had their voice crack by then, regardless of height.
That's fine by me. I just hate how no matter which FMA videos you go to, there's always people saying that the language the video isn't in is better. If you like the English version better, go look up dubbed FMA videos/episodes. If you like the Japanese version better, go look up subbed videos/episodes. Talk about the anime, not the language it's in. If you don't have anything else to comment on besides the fact that the language the video's in isn't your language of preference, don't comment at all. And don't worry, by "you" I don't mean you specifically. I'm referring to FMA fans in general.
THANK YOU. I don't think anyone, including myself, could've expressed my thoughts as well as you just did. It's so irritating to see them fight over this crap. People really need to stfu about such trivial matters. It also pisses me off when people start comparing fma to fmab. What the hell is the point of fighting about this? Why can't people accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinions?
I agree with you. Sure, I prefer the Japanese version because the English version doesn't suit my tastes, but it's actually quite annoying seeing fellow fans argue about this crap. Word of advice, if you don't like the version your viewing, look for another one.
For me one of the best moments of the show is ep 9 where Maria slaps Ed... It seems like a small thing but that one slap actually changed the mentality of him and we could see that in the rest
Even if he was not immortal, he still had powers beyond normal humans, as he had a philosopher's stone. His lack of immortality was due to his stone having only one soul, his. But the stone power was still there.
A number of people have said that. It is an extremely epic moment. However, Mustang vs. Envy always gives me goosebumps. Killing Lust is Mustang's moment of triumph as he destroys her with a cool head. His fight against Envy is when Mustang completely loses it, unleashes his full power, and his rage almost completely consumes him. I find this low point for Mustang as a character to be far more interesting than his moment of triumph with Lust.
A lot of people have mentioned Roy v Lust and Wrath v Tank. I personally like Roy v Envy more because it's showing Roy at his lowest point, when he's completely given in to his rage (it also shows how much of a badass he is). I love the Wrath v Tank fight, but the animation during the Scar fight is so good along with him grabbing his sword with his teeth, all while bleeding profusely, I find that to be Wrath's most epic moment. As for Father, I just liked the character-focused moments more.
While number 1 was pretty obvious, how the Hell did narrow it down to five ? I would have problems narrowing down to just 10. The episodes leading up to and during the Promised day alone, have more epic moments than any other tv series I've seen, at least proportionally.
Yeah you'll notice all of these moments are from the last 12 episodes of the show. That's where things really started getting epic and amazing for me. I had to narrow it down to 5 to fit it in the video time limit.
I totally agree that these 5 moments are definantly the most epic from this series! And theres a lot of epic moments, must of been hard to choose only 5..
I was tempted to put on the fight between Greed and Wrath. There's a lot of epic stuff that happens in the North (fight with Sloth, Ed ripping that spike out of his body) but I've always found big final battle in Central to be my favorite part of the show. It's non stop climatic awesome action.
Envy was a little bitch, I hated his/her character. See right there, you can't even tell if it's a guy or a girl, those characters usually suck. Envy killed fricken Hughs, which is enough of a reason to die in a fire, but he threatened the lives of many many people and when he was about to be squashed into a green glob of crap by Mustang, I was yelling "DO IT MUSTANG HE KILLED YOUR BEST FRIEND." So to put it to scientific terms, I don't like Envy...
FMA was tonally very different from FMA:B, and from the manga. Arakawa's writing had a much more traditional shonen slant, but it was so much more than that. Strong female characters, a narrative that tied up every loose end satisfactorily, and a stronger commitment to fleshing out supporting characters/subplots. FMA was a battle manga, and anyone who says otherwise is misrepresenting it. But its writing and world building was extraordinary and more strongly mirrored in FMA:B than in the 2003 adaptation.
I'll say its more practical fma... It deals with day to day life.... Just like Dante said fmab is more on the universe as a whole.... Thats y fma is more emotional and dark
my favourite moments .not necessarily epic moments are when alex armstrong stopped sloth to save her sister , when ed realized the chimera was nina and the dog , when mustang cried at hughes' funeral, when ed was fighting greed, when hoenheim captured pride, many hawkeye and many major general armstrong moments and many many others but these pop into my mind right now.
I think it's heartbreaking that Greed dies just after we find out what a good guy he was the entire time.
I have never seen him as a villain in the series, he was just more of a character that is deeply in need of help. he was my favorite lol
^^ what are you talking about XD They were talking about Greed not Envy XD
^^ Hahaha XD
Greed in humans may seem to be about wealth & status, but what deep down Greed (or people in general) really wanted is companionship. Same for Envy, Envy represents all humans that are jealous of other people's traits & companionship; of which he never had. So it is understandable that many people will sympathise with them, because those 2 sins are self-destructive.
I pitied Envy even tho he was a piece of shit he was still likeable, his relationship with Al was hilarious and in the end it was sad wacthing him die after we find out he just wanted to be human and live a normal life
If there is one thing I can give Japenese actors credit for, is that they know how to scream their lines.
godofdarknes they're good at screaming and crying
So you mean showing emotion? Lol. The dub was in my opinion better in this anime's case, but most of the time the voice actors are incompetent.
They are good at all synchro. And come on, english synchro sucks at everything. Considering 'murica's cinematographic history this just makes sense.
Genuinely think the english VA's for FMA:B are genuinely leagues better than their japanese counterparts.
Alex Buczala japanese sub is more amazing than english dub... English dub sucks...
this is a perfect anime; no fillers, beautiful animation, fantastic music, and unbelievably close to the original story and manga.
This was the greatest fucking show in the history of mankind
+OrdinaryAsianGamer Hunter X Hunter
It still is :)
+Leandro Catarci yesss
it will be forever
Kasperi01 give it chance. After the 5th episode it will become the bomb.
I feel like Mustang killing Lust was a better moment than when he killed Envy.
Envy's death was really sad T_T
Greed > Envy
Envy was pretty envious of greed XD
Envy's attempting suicide tho
You're right
I thought on place 2 would be lust's death but no WHY THE F***
Nah. Envys death was satisfying and justified. Something about mustangs rage; I identify with it.
@@int0the3p1t32 Mustang was pretty much out for revenge at that point, Envy killed his best friend, then threatend his MOST valuable underling, I would be pissed as well!
One of my favorite moments in the show is when Edward breaks the door open and tells alphonse that he is without a doubt coming back. + the outro music was perfectly linked and sounded great.
Also, what I loved much about the anime was about it's Symbolization and hidden meaning to it.

yes this animes amazing
Thank you for you enlightening analysis!
damn nice analysis... I loved the show and its really well made otherwise it wouldnt have touched all those fans but never thought so deep about it.
김은정 no youre wrong my opinion is correct
kookie biase note that pride did not actually die but became a human, a creature that he saw as inferior. Otherwise great analysis.
If I was a space alien and I saw that giant androgynous cyclops sprout up from the Earth and scream at the sky, I'd say fuck this and high tail it to the next galaxy.
Well said.
Personally, my best scene was Edward's last transmutation. That is one scene in anime that showed scene does not need a fight to be epic.
Also, people are salying Brotherhood is full of shit because it is just about fighting, but if younjust saw this anime as a typical "Good guy wins the bad guy , Great fight is all that has" kind of anime, either you are so into original version that you did not watch it carefully, or you just didn't watch it.

Compare dialogue between Truth-Father and Truth-Ed. You can see what you missed in the anime and what it os truly trying to say.
Your so right! I cried by the last scene😭😭
@Whisper Walter same here also fmab is super underrated
For the first not 7.9/10 but brotherhood was better 10/10 original just confused me
im just normal human from very begin, who couldnt even saved a little girl...

Envy vs Mustang: Best episode ever
Lucas Conforti yes best but sad at the same time
Envy couldn't even fight back
Any one ordered homunculus bbq?
"But will he be coming to get you?" "He will. Definitely."The absolute trust Alphonse places in his brother is just so incredible. He doesn't doubt for a moment that Edward will come after him.
I actually forgot how amazing this show was. I need to re watch it some time, this is the greatest masterpiece ever.
I think Mustang losing it and completely unleashing his full power on Envy is epic. I couldn't show the whole thing because of time constants, but the struggle he has afterwards with Ed and Hawkeye while remembering Hughes is one of the most poignant moments in any anime. His fight against Envy is when Mustang completely loses it, unleashes his full power, and his rage almost completely consumes him.
The video is 7 years how is ur comment 8 years?
For me 1. is when Roy burns Lust , that was more badass then when he burned Levy.
you mean Envy.
Levy is from Fairy Tail
Fira Sunstar
Ye right xD
***** that's Levi.
Nah, seeing Roy so pissed off and putting Envy in his place is the most badass thing he did.

One of my favorite scenes was when Bradley took out the tank that was epic
5. I LOVED that fight, Alphonse was such a badass there. Before I go any further though, I believe that all the fights in brotherhood are ALL beautifully animated.
4. That was a pretty high tension moment there, I thought everyone was going to get fucked.
3. That wasn't a fight, that was an exhaustion becuase roy was a fucking BADASS THERE. Honestly it was my number 1.
2. Scar has got some serious moves and bradley was a really menacing tough opponent in the series.
1. That would have been my number 2, just for the fact the way ed beat the shit out of the "father" guy was done so well and I love how everyone was cheering him on during the beatdown.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
エドとか周りのやつのせいで分かりにくいけどアルめっちゃ強いな
肉体は首の錬成陣以外に直接的な弱点が無いし心理の扉ブーストもあって普段からエドと手合わせやってるから肉弾戦もアホみたいに強い
アルの年齢ゆえの精神的幼さや脆さを突いて相手は優位に立ってたイメージがある
まぁエドはアルに喧嘩で勝ったことがないみたいなこと言ってたし霞んじゃうけどなんやかんや強いよね
4:55 i don't know why, but i just love to see Mustang burning Envy again and again it's so satisfying
i think another epic moment (idk what ranking it would get) is when edward finds his brother's body in his soul and says that he's gonna get the body back ("wait for me"). that's a great scene.
Best scene in the whole anime.
In the manga Ed just held the gate open. And in the anime version Ed PUNCHED it open, making the scene even greater than the original
やっぱみんなこのシーンが最高に感動的でカッコいいシーンよな！！
ハガレンは何度見てもいい
A lot of people mentioned that. I love Roy v Lust, but I limited myself to one epic moment per character. I've always seen Roy v Envy as the defining moment for Mustang because it's when we see him at his darkest point. He loses control and unleashes his full rage on Envy. There's a lot more going on in the Envy fight for Mustang as a character than the Lust fight.
5 epic moments?
thats not enough
the whole anime is epic and beautiful and genius and i just dont have words to describe this
A lot of people have said this. I love the Lust fight too, it's Mustang's moment of badass glory. However, the Envy fight is his moment of badass hatred. This fight has a lot more character development, exposing his biggest flaws. Plus, I love seeing Mustang completely lose it when he burns Envy nonstop near the end.
best show ever made, if they didn't cut some important scenes from the manga, the show would be perfect.
Alcides Couto What scenes did they cut ?
every scene from the manga has more text than the TV adaptation. But some scenes it's too much. For example, the manga has 1 volume (200 pages) for Ishval Civil War, and the anime adaptated into 1 just episode (30).
There was a general expectation that you saw the first series, which is why so many things were condensed, of memory serve.
*if memory serves
Alcides Couto I didn't know that, I'll have to take the time to check it out cause FMA is hands down my favorite show.
The scene where Kimblee interered in the Ed vs Pride fight was the best moment for me. his guy was too fucking epic.
4:00 arguably the most iconic moment of the entire series😂 flame broiled the kid haha
Mustang the man scary enough to make a homunculus fear what is about to happen
Every scene with Bradly was epic, especially when he single handedly took down the tank
As for number 4: I was watching this scene alone, in my dark room, well past midnight. I literally had trouble falling asleep after that.
best anime EVER
One of my favorite moments is Al using alchemy without the circle for the first time after gaining back his memories.
...such a fucking great anime.
Al wasn't lying when he said he is a better fighter than Ed. That kind of quick thinking in battle, tricks after tricks to do, even with a philosopher stone, is hard to do. And that is him fighting with mercy in his mind, not to massacre people.
Father meeting "God" was by far the most epic scene in my opinion! i was like this when i saw this scene: O____________O and this still make my bones shake everytime i watch it
A lot of people mentioned Lust. I love that moment, but I personally like Roy v Envy more because it's showing Roy at his lowest point, when he's completely given in to his rage (it also shows how much of a badass he is). There, he completely lets loose and shows off how deadly he is.
The number one... it is so sad and I really have to cry. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is one of the best Anime in the world.
It's so amazing how he uses his alchemy.
The death of Pride feat. Solf J. Kimblee, will always be Nr.1 epic to me! But I liked your choices too! I just love the way he waves back to Edward whilst fading into oblivion! Kimblee was awesome!
Always, and always, the very best and epic scene ever is when Al sacrifices himself in order to save his big brother. God! Ed's scream is SOOO real!!
"STOOOOOOOP!!!" I love you Romi Paku -w- and I love you Arakawa-sama! ;w;
this anime is so beautiful that it brings me to tears
Envy vs Mustang was a brilliant fight but I found it to be also one of the saddest. Envy was being tortured physically constantly, was jealous of humans but tried to act like he was above them and was one of my 2 favourite homunculi (pride is the other), so, to me, ended up being a character that I almost pitied. Mustang was completely consumed by rage, revenge and anger. Both of them were suffering massively in some way during that fight, so I just felt sorry for both of them
10:53-11:01.... Edward Elric's most epic moment... in all of the series and manga. Such intensity. His voice is so SERIOUS AND FIERCE.. You could feel his anger!
XD Roy mustang was like KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! AND NUKE THE ASHES
Nice job compiling these, though I admit I was a bit peeved by the quality. If I could add 5 more to this list though, it would be (in no particular order): the first Greed's death, Greed's final death, Greed vs Wrath at the beginning of episode 45, Fu's death, and Lust's death. But that's just my personal preference :P
All of these moments are epic, but number 4 was the best one for me. I remember my eyes were the size of dinner plates watching that part!
man this anime blew my f***king mind away, one greatest anime of all time no questions asked. Heck this cant even be classified as just an anime anymore, its that great. theres so many epic moments, envy's first transformation, ed seeing Al's body in the gate for the first time, and the one that got to me Van Hoenhimes death, which was done very well. and the list goes on. man if i ever see the author that created this masterpiece, i will shake their hand.
3:30 WELL, THERE WENT EVERY CLOUD IN THE FREAKING WORLD
This truly was epic! Thnx for the vid!!! & I still believe Dub made this series. ^_^
09:58 "Let him have it, short stuff!"
idk
The connection between Ling and Bradley in regards to the true nature of being a king gives that fight a lot of meaning. Definitely Shakespearean.
I knew I wanted a Wrath moment at number two. Almost chose his fight with the tank but ended up with his fight with Scar just because he's so ridiculously strong even when severely injured, to the point where he grabs the sword with his teeth just to land a final blow. How epic and badass is that!
Tbh, I agree with what everyone says. This was the first anime I ever watched properly(well the original series at least) back when I was 10 years old. This is what truly made me fall in love with anime. When I heard about brotherhood I was so psyched. And it really delivered. It's just the best series hands down. Even over naruto and fairy tail( my two personal faves out of the really big anime)
same here.
finally i nice video of FMAB with eng sub :D
And finally, somebody being grateful for the subbed version. Seriously, I'm so tired of people saying "Dub > Sub" on subbed videos, when people on dubbed videos go bonkers simply because they're dubbed. So, thank you.
01:35
この場面で既に、「フラスコの中の小人」の「真理の扉」には何も書かれていないことが示されている。
2:30 Why bother, in space, no one can hear you scream
Releasing some tension I guess.
He's a supernatural being, who says it cant be heard in space?
By the last scene I'm just watching through my tears.😢 That will always be too epic to witness with dry eyes.
And again, we have a video full of people saying "You should have used the English version. Dat's so much better."
I'm fucking telling you, NOBODY'S EVER SATISFIED. YOU COULD MAKE A VIDEO WITH BOTH LANGUAGES IN IT SIMULTANEOUSLY AND PEOPLE WOULD STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE VOICE ACTING. GOD, WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVERY SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THE FREAKING VOICE ACTING???
I'm sorry, but I'm REALLY tired of seeing these kinds of comments on FMA videos, English or Japanese. Either way, people are always complaining about the language in the comment sections.
Drawtoonz Studio I usually keep quiet about it... but FMA... the english voices seem to fit some of the characters much better, like alex armstrongs voice in japanese just doesn't fit his eccentric and prideful attitude while the english one is just so damn perfect, and well, EDs original voice just hurts my ears so damn much DX he doesn't sound like a guy at all, i get he's young but he starts the series at 15! most have had their voice crack by then, regardless of height.
That's fine by me. I just hate how no matter which FMA videos you go to, there's always people saying that the language the video isn't in is better. If you like the English version better, go look up dubbed FMA videos/episodes. If you like the Japanese version better, go look up subbed videos/episodes. Talk about the anime, not the language it's in. If you don't have anything else to comment on besides the fact that the language the video's in isn't your language of preference, don't comment at all.
And don't worry, by "you" I don't mean you specifically. I'm referring to FMA fans in general.
THANK YOU. I don't think anyone, including myself, could've expressed my thoughts as well as you just did. It's so irritating to see them fight over this crap. People really need to stfu about such trivial matters. It also pisses me off when people start comparing fma to fmab. What the hell is the point of fighting about this? Why can't people accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinions?
I agree with you. Sure, I prefer the Japanese version because the English version doesn't suit my tastes, but it's actually quite annoying seeing fellow fans argue about this crap. Word of advice, if you don't like the version your viewing, look for another one.
sydneystar ^ This.
I find it funny when mustang yelled "FULLMETAL!!" without seeing what actually happened 🤣
I love that moment too. She gets to be a badass again.
Ok
Finally a video with the original voices and without any fucking lame music. Nicely done sir !
For me one of the best moments of the show is ep 9 where Maria slaps Ed... It seems like a small thing but that one slap actually changed the mentality of him and we could see that in the rest
Anyone else cry when His brother sacrificed himself so his Big Bro could get his arm and leg back
0:00 - 0:08
"He better get, some, coffeeeeeeee!"
Wow, 1 million views! The quality of this video is pretty bad looking back on it now but I'm glad people still enjoy it.
Even if he was not immortal, he still had powers beyond normal humans, as he had a philosopher's stone. His lack of immortality was due to his stone having only one soul, his. But the stone power was still there.
A number of people have said that. It is an extremely epic moment. However, Mustang vs. Envy always gives me goosebumps. Killing Lust is Mustang's moment of triumph as he destroys her with a cool head. His fight against Envy is when Mustang completely loses it, unleashes his full power, and his rage almost completely consumes him. I find this low point for Mustang as a character to be far more interesting than his moment of triumph with Lust.
A lot of people have mentioned Roy v Lust and Wrath v Tank. I personally like Roy v Envy more because it's showing Roy at his lowest point, when he's completely given in to his rage (it also shows how much of a badass he is). I love the Wrath v Tank fight, but the animation during the Scar fight is so good along with him grabbing his sword with his teeth, all while bleeding profusely, I find that to be Wrath's most epic moment. As for Father, I just liked the character-focused moments more.
Best anime I've ever seen and probably will see.
While number 1 was pretty obvious, how the Hell did narrow it down to five ? I would have problems narrowing down to just 10. The episodes leading up to and during the Promised day alone, have more epic moments than any other tv series I've seen, at least proportionally.
Yeah you'll notice all of these moments are from the last 12 episodes of the show. That's where things really started getting epic and amazing for me. I had to narrow it down to 5 to fit it in the video time limit.
I totally agree that these 5 moments are definantly the most epic from this series! And theres a lot of epic moments, must of been hard to choose only 5..
For me best moment Mustang vs Lust , alphonse and Mustang was epic .
Your #1 was spot on. That quote by greed especially gets me every time.
I was deadass scared of Mustang when he was burning Envy like holy shit
makes sense, plus the music and the plot is much deeper, than just some guy killing a tank ^^
Christ, I still almost cry when I see the last couple episodes, makes my stomach flip like mug. It's just such a good ending to the series.
Devon Sharp
The number one scene was a combo of awesomeness and emotional
AyeKunHedgy
I was tempted to put on the fight between Greed and Wrath. There's a lot of epic stuff that happens in the North (fight with Sloth, Ed ripping that spike out of his body) but I've always found big final battle in Central to be my favorite part of the show. It's non stop climatic awesome action.
FINALLY a Fullmetal Alchemist "best of" video using the subs version.
When ever I lose hope in humanity I go back and watch this anime ~
You are absolutely right, it was the summary of the show and best scene ever
Oh my god... Envy's death is so sad! I'm crying!
Envy was a little bitch, I hated his/her character. See right there, you can't even tell if it's a guy or a girl, those characters usually suck. Envy killed fricken Hughs, which is enough of a reason to die in a fire, but he threatened the lives of many many people and when he was about to be squashed into a green glob of crap by Mustang, I was yelling "DO IT MUSTANG HE KILLED YOUR BEST FRIEND." So to put it to scientific terms, I don't like Envy...
Robert Rusk Envy is a she. Notice her voice and her body?
lila chan yea that part was so amazing even tho I hated what he did i couldn't help but feel bad for him
The soldiers called Edward short stuff 9:59 . Good thing he was too busy to hear them
Bruh. Number 4 was the most epic, it should definitely be #1 on the list.
Absolutely amazing list, I would have never been able to narrow it down to just 5 haha
FMA was tonally very different from FMA:B, and from the manga. Arakawa's writing had a much more traditional shonen slant, but it was so much more than that. Strong female characters, a narrative that tied up every loose end satisfactorily, and a stronger commitment to fleshing out supporting characters/subplots.
FMA was a battle manga, and anyone who says otherwise is misrepresenting it. But its writing and world building was extraordinary and more strongly mirrored in FMA:B than in the 2003 adaptation.
I'll say its more practical fma... It deals with day to day life.... Just like Dante said fmab is more on the universe as a whole.... Thats y fma is more emotional and dark
I know, right! It's such a sad, moving moment followed up with complete badass by Ed.
I think Roy Mustang is the only guy to make snapping fingers look so epic.
I would have added the scene where Ed punches the gate after he finds Al's body there, and tells him he will be back for him! Solid list!
Number one is definitely my favorite. I don't know why, but the only dub I I actually prefer over the sub is for FMA Brotherhood.
Father opening the portal and decimating the entire population of Amestris should have been #1.
What's with the pixels, is this a hentai or something?
Viesty lol
Depends on your fetish
Oversensitive fuckers.
Viesty in a sense
Yes
No is a dammit shit quality more not
That is one of my favorites. However when I limit myself to 5 moments, one per character, there's only so much I can do.
my favourite moments .not necessarily epic moments are when alex armstrong stopped sloth to save her sister , when ed realized the chimera was nina and the dog , when mustang cried at hughes' funeral, when ed was fighting greed, when hoenheim captured pride, many hawkeye and many major general armstrong moments and many many others but these pop into my mind right now.
2期はとにかくド派手な錬金術の戦闘シーンが多かったなまさにバトル漫画だった
1期はどちらかと言うと錬金術の術理や道理が重きを置いてたかね
続きものじゃない全く別の作品なんだから
１期〜２期じゃなくて
旧作と新作ではないかな？
2:18: Me when she bites the tip by accident
Dude, your comment made my day 😂
#4: TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOOOOWWWWWWN
I feel like this is the only anime I've ever seen where Sub and Dub are both phenomenal.
i wouldn't have been surprised if 3 of 5 of this was just mustang killing homunculi XD
I limited it to one moment per character, otherwise Mustang and Wrath would've taken over the list.
yeah, i guessed as much xD
TheWWIFlyingAce yea wrath against everyone is my favorite
