    Second, the dub team did a blooper reel for the show. It's easy to find on UA-cam and it's practically a tradition for reactors to react to it after they finish the show.

      I know in Australia FMA:B is rated either M15+ (recommended for 15 or over) or the more strict MA15+ depending on the DVD set. I think it being PG-13 in the US is more due to there not being anything in between that and and R.

    So one main difference between FMAB and Avatar is that the alchemy of FMAB is science rather than "magic". Like scientists, the alchemists tend to have a specialty (e.g. freezing for Isaac, flames for Mustang), but, unlike with Avatar, they can also manipulate other things so long as they have the prerequisite knowledge.

      Most of the episodes that are in the 2003 version that aren't on this are filler though (even before the split). The only Manga cut chapters that are in 2003 are the train hijack and Yoki episodes, and the latter gets recapped later (though is a good one to watch tbh).

So many characters are introduced so fast, and the emotional connections get rushed because all of this was covered in the original airing before the story split, which would be Episode 20 of FMA 03, and Episode 9 of FMAB. And yes, you even need the "filler" episode from FMA 03's mining town misadventure to understand some of the events that happen in FMAB. Unfortunately, FMA isn't on Crunchyroll, even with their absorption of FUNimation's titles.

      For a modern example think of it more like the Glyphs from Owl House than the Bending in avatar. The transmutation circles are like a visual/pictoral spell to achieve a specific effect. A lot of alchemists will specialize in one thing- a lot of them are element specialists but you also have folks like Armstrong who specializes in Weaponized Sculptures, lol.

    Honestly this is one of those pieces of media I would describe not only as one of the best animes, but a masterpiece in storytelling (especially the manga, but this is an extremely close adaptation). There seems to be a common thread between this and A:tLA, where if you resonate with the themes and narrative of that (and can handle a darker tone) then you’ll probably love this, even if you’ve never seen/don’t like anime. And you definitely got pulled into Avatar, so it’s safe to say you’ll probably vibe with this really well.

    Yeah, don't worry about dub haters. Most of them are either older folks who have bad memories of super cheap dubs in the early 90s, or people just being snobs.
    Otherwise: Alchemy is a science, not magic. It's a skill one learns to do, not a talent one is born with like bending. Different alchemists specialize in different things. McDougan specialized in water, Armstrong specializes in stone, Mustang specializes with fire, but they can all do other kinds of alchemy too if they learn the right transmutation circles.
    This show does a great job of answering your questions as it goes on, so don't worry about things you don't understand right away.

    Didn't expect to wake up to this! FMA:B is my absolute favorite show of all time, so glad you're checking it out! No worries about watching the Dub over the Sub, this is one of the shows that has such phenomenal English voice acting that it doesn't matter too much, it'll still be a fantastic experience. It's happy, it's tragic, it's dark, it's hopeful, it's exciting with just the right balance of calm. It's a beautiful story that manages to bring together every loose end, every point in the plot, and it's nearly impossible to find any significant flaws with its writing. Now, that isn't to say that everyone's going to love it, everyone has different tastes and it's definitely not for everybody. From a purely objective point of analysis, though, it's really hard to criticize the story, aside from maybe the fact that some of the earlier story beats in the manga were skipped over because they'd already been covered in the 2003 anime.

    I absolutely adore this anime. Fun fact, this got made because the original FMA anime was being made while the manga was still being written and they got to the point where they got ahead of it.

      @@XSpiegel I'd argue those first 13 episodes are more important to adapt correctly than anything else, especially if it was intended to replace 2003 as people claim. Besides that, a lot of the flashbacks are heavily truncated, the Ishvalan War being a prime example, Trisha is barely shown _at all_ , I think Xerxes suffers from it as well. The order in which the brothers' backstory is revealed is also change I would argue for the worse: in the manga we only learn their backstory when they meet back up with Izumi, around Volume 6 or so.
      I'm not trying to say BroHo is bad, mind you, I just hate people using the false argument of "it follows the manga perfectly" to justify erasing 2003 from existance (my own personal bias aside, since I consider 2003 a better work of art than BroHo in every way).

He could heat or freeze water, but preferred to freeze. As you might have guessed, next episode you will hear more of the brother’s backstory, but there are no representations from the government from preforming human transmutation.

    Hello! I really enjoyed this reaction and great job remembering so many names, a lot of people have trouble with that early on. FMAB reactions tend to have the same people commenting the same things, tips, and list of episodes with after-credits scenes. Most reactors end up missing the 4 OVA episodes, they're basically extra side episodes usually going into backstories of side characters scattered throughout the series. They're not necessary to watch but you may want to consider it as they're all quite good.
    If you are interested, 'Simple People' can be watched after episode 2, 'the Blind Alchemist' can be watched after episode 20, 'Yet Another Man's Battlefield' can be watched after episode 30, and 'Tales of the Master' can be watched after episode 33.
    Otherwise, so happy someone new is watching the series and it really seems like you're putting thought into your commentary and reflections, which I appreciate so much. This show definitely rewards thinking about the plot and world, so your questions are not wasted at all.
