Toeing the line between “there’s too much stuff introduced” and “there’s too much stuff not explained” is what this show does so well. Episode 1 is full of 10 different things you know nothing about and the show has decided to explain them at their own pace - I love it.
And by the end it all comes together so perfectly
And I greatly enjoy and appreciate how the characters actually stay in contact and share valuable information, instead of not realistically informing your allies of life changing information.
I think that's a very generous interpretation. I'd say there is definitley too much. It was made essentially with the idea that if you were watching it, you would have already seen the 2003 version. So it speedruns through things that were already covered in 2003. I think later on it gets better but that first section where it has a direct comparison to 2003 isn't nearly as good as 2003, especially the "fusion" (for lack of a non-spoiler description) storyline.
@@davidn9261 Agreed. Brotherhood rushes through the really storyline and skimps on properly establishing alchemy in the early episodes. Also, due to the extra story added for episode 1, the moments in Leore which originally served to dramatically introduce Ed's automail, Al's body, and their dark past now feel quite repetitive and unnecessary as they've already been revealed.
While it's a fantastic series overall, this aspect is probably FMAB's greatest flaw.
@@davidn9261 I mean, as someone who consumed the original multiple times on Adult Swim (and whose English 111 course taught a lesson on the Liore eps from the OG series), I’d have to say I’m unqualified to make this point on my own. I have too much prior knowledge to know if it does this well or not.
Which is why I pulled on the experiences of my wife and several friends who hadn’t seen the OG who wrapped up the first episodes of this “intrigued and confused, but ready to watch more” - which is precisely the balance I’m suggesting the show strikes.
For everyone commenting , thry have already finished the anime and its up on their patreon...just releasing on UA-cam now.
Good to know, I’m getting subscribed
Do you know if they continue in sub or dub??
@@falilia5619they switch to dub and watch it through in dub
@@falilia5619 Dub
@@falilia5619 They switch to dub for episode 2, back to sub for episode 3, then dub for the rest of the show.
For anyone wondering, they watched episode 2 dubbed, episode 3 subbed, then back to dub for the rest of the show
Nice!👊
Thank heavens!
Aaaw damn. I am one of the few that likes the sub of FMAB.
@@PintoConrad Honestly I first watched it dub bc everyone said it was better, but when I saw that clip of Ed's fist breaking through the door of truth in the Japanese sub it gave me chills. They're both great
nice they agreed to keep the dub
This little exchange was so hilarious to me “When is the little brother gonna come out of the mech??” “No…” 🤣💀
'Around the end of the series, hopefully...' 😁
This is like The Godfather of manga/anime it may not be your favorite but it is a classic and you sure respect the hell out of it
It's not my favorite but I think it carries a sheer quality of writing especially towards the end that I just can't help but appreciate. It's definitely in my top 10 for sure, but personal preference wise not my #1
i got so freaking bored by chapter 20ish
@@luishurtado2170 that’s fine dude. You have the right to not like certain things hahaha You can’t expect of yourself to like everything
Like Brig said Hughs has the same VA as Leorio (and they kind of look alike), Ed has the same VA as Hange and Roy as Knov 😁
There's a reason why the early episodes of Brotherhood seem to be so fast paced. When FMA: Brotherhood was released, the animation studio assumed that most people have already watched the original FMA 2003 anime. So they rushed to get to the point at which FMA 2003 departed from the manga. That's why I usually recommend that you watch the first 25 episodes of FMA 2003, then continue on with episode 10 of FMA: Brotherhood. Many of the early arcs and character development hit harder in the original FMA 2003.
The reason there are 2 adaptations of FMA is because during the airing of FMA 2003, the anime caught up with the manga around episode 25 (This is the reason why filler episodes were used in older anime). So the studio decided to continue ahead of the manga and made their own non-canon storyline. FMA: Brotherhood was made to adapt the canonical continuation of the manga.
Really should've started with the first few episodes from the OG anime, those are a far better introduction than FMA:B, eventho FMA:B is better later on.
Omg I thought the whole time that the original FMA was a departure from the original writing. But that ending… had a continuation? In what world? 😂
This is not really a good argument. Brotherhood is fast paced because the manga is extremely fast paced in the beginning. The only thing they cut is Mustang vs Ed, Yoki's episode, Greed gang vs Al and their small shenanigans and Izumi fixing a toy. FMA03 starting is not good. It completely breaks every rule of the world they set up in the previous episodes for the sake of shock value. FMAB first few episodes are like only 20% faster than the manga's pacing
Now if only GRRM would finish Song of Ice and Fire so they could do this with Game of Thrones
they already finished the entire fmab bro, its been on patreon for ages 😂😂
As a sub only watcher FMA is the only anime I’d ever watch in dub highly recommend
dbz and mob psycho also have excellent dubs even tho for the most part i watch sub. aot too at times although i feel like some of the lines are a bit off
FMA and Cyberpunk are the only anime that's dub over sub. just lends itself really well to english for some reason
i watched it in dub too but i wanna rewatch it in sub cause the show is so good
i personally think mha, naruto, mob psycho fall under peak dub but fmab is def in the upper tiers
Cowboy Bebop and Monster are also better in dub.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood can be a little confusing at the start, but this is due to the creators expecting you watched the 2003 version.
Overall Brotherhood is the more faithful adaptation of the manga and better
FMAB was created as a love letter to the OG fans so they sped up the initial stuff. It's always crazy to me how many people watch brotherhood before the original and then get annoyed that things don't make sense. It'd be like watching any show's season 8 and then having no idea who the characters are or what's going on.
omg i agree sm with carter! i personally like how they had introduced episode 1. it's just my personal preference but i enjoy it when shows are written this way. to me, it's more effective in building intrigue and making the audiences want to know more about the story and characters. it's definitely what happened to me when i first watched the show. what's crazy about fmab is that it's so good at building suspense, and as a viewer, it makes u feel more invested in following the events. the music scores of the show as well! crazy good!
FMA originally came out in 2003, but had to create its own ending due to the manga being unfinished. Brotherhood came out in 2009 faithfully adapting the manga(and with some of the most consistent high quality animation ever). Because the original FMA exists and aired just 6 years prior, Brotherhood moves at a very fast pace through its early episodes. Most people were already familiar with some of the story and characters.
Episode 1 of Brotherhood is also filler actually. In general it's much easier to follow from episode 2 onward which are the real story.
I like the original one better than brotherhood.. I'm a bit disappointed they skipped the original and straight to go brotherhood. But as long as they stick to subtitle, I'll watch them.
Finally these fellas are onto actual peak fiction
Wdym? They already started Naruto XD

@@springdeerling7866 do you know how often they are going to upload episodes to youtube? or how often they usually do?
the way I sounded like gorilla when I saw this notification because I'm excited. LMAO. Thanks for finally releasing this to public!
im new to this channel, how often will they be uploading episodes of this to their youtube?
@@gigabit6226 usually twice a week
I've been waiting for the fmab reactions ever since I heard they watched it on their Patreon, gotta say this is easily my favorite anime of all time.
It's definitely a fantastic anime. Upon rewatch last year tho it dropped a few spots for me because of the writing choices. The author took a lot of artistic lisence with convenient and borderline impossible coincidences
Agreed! FMAB is the best anime, the best storyline ever!!
Same!❤
Strap in. I dont know why nobody says it but this is obviously the direct inspiration for AOT. You'll see. This is imo not my favorite (AOT), but it is the best anime ever created, absolutely deserves the praise. Actually almost done with my second rewatch as we speak, this video was a surprise.
Edit: had no clue so many people didn't notice all the similarities. I binged FMAB to learn more about how to write manga as im creating my own, and every episode i wrote down clear inspirations for AOT, heres juat a few i wrote down.
•Amestris is literally surrounded by walls.
•The German aesthetic is obvious
•Each story has the declaration of war scene
•Both MC's end up dating another character in the ending
•The way homunculi are created/born is quite literally the same way titans and shifters are
•In episode 46 theres some guy i cant remember the name of who's been missing and he shows up eating pie, same as that annie scene
•The ishvalins and their special "powers" might've inspired the ackermans
•The literal year both stories take place is basically the same
•The two brothers trying to change the world thing
•FMA and AOT have a similar location where characters go (the paths or the door of truth thing)
•It's not a basement like in aot but there's some notes and stuff the cast goes to find, kinda like the basement
•The way Greed lives in Ling might've inspired bert haunting armin
•Lady Armstrong is literally erwin smith
•The "monster is made from humans" thing
Thats just a few, i wrote down tons of notes while watching, and yeah I already know about the other stories that influenced AOT, but yeah, as i said. FMAB is the best anime, but AOT is my favorite, as they're both very similar stories with similar worlds. Both 10/10's. Go watch and pay attention.
i agree easy top 5 anime for me
it takes the second spot for me after aot
Definitely top 10 anime of all time
Aot better
In what way is this the direct inspiration to AOT?
Congratulations UA-cam Geks for finally getting FMAB released!!
PS. I genuinely forgot about Cannon not trusting this was good at the beginning 😂
Do they end up switching to dub? :)
@@victoriabooth6299 Yepp :D
@@oothekreisWhen? I can't read subs while watching Gek so I'll probably wait til that one's out lol
Ep 5 or6 i think? Could be wrong though @@SomeUA-camTraveler
@@jemaselite8076 aight, thanks!
Guys, this may sound like a complain from a bitter FMA fan, but I sincerely think you will enjoy it more if you stop comparing it to other animes mid-watch. I can’t think of an easier way to get distracted and not connect with the plot.
Compare all you want afterward in the discussion; because yes, there are good comparisons and points to be made.
NO WAY! I JUST STARTED REWATCHING THIS SERIES FOR LIKE THE 10TH TIME! It is one of the best. Strap in like many others have said!!
Buzzcut Brig is back
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is a little older video because he said "it's 9 months into the year" 3:44
They have already finished the show on their Patreon. they started it last September.
@@benu7701 yeah, I knew it had to be on patreon or something
@@khalil2153It is. This was on Patreon for a bit now.
@@benu7701 what are they currently watching????
Honestly I’d recommend watching the dub for this one. The sub is good but the voice acting in the dub is fantastic
It's not. And they already had this on patreon
@@joansebthey switched to dub. They made the right choice.
The original is always better
@@thorkagemob1297 dub is never better than sub you can prefer dub that's your opinion but sub is better in every anime
@@maxime746 how is that not your preference 😂 majority prefers dub its ok bro
I think FMA is talked about less because its an instant classic. Kinda like Carter said, its so impactful after your first watch. Not necessarily a favorite of mine either but without a doubt unforgettable.
This is the only anime I prefer the dub to the sub. Also one of the best stories in anime. The author actually has a solid understanding of real alchemy and there are tons of hidden references, lore and philosophy.
The only anime I rather watching in dub
Same
Dragon Ball Z** both have amazing dubs.
YYH
@@Clooger-naruto too
Don’t forget about Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo
Thank u sm for uploading it on UA-cam too 😊😊
日本語で見てくれてるのたすかるなぁ
Todo buen fan del anime lo mira en su idioma original, es parte de su magia 😊
I think they watched in japanese for the first 4 or 5 episodes only, then went to dub
Don't get me wrong majority of time I would do sub but fmab dub is just superior
those fucking dub person is lobbying, fucking annoying
me too. I really hope they decide to keep it subed
ATTENTION... this show have phenomenal dub, in fact it's the only show that i can watch with dub without cringing
They end up switching to dub in a couple episodes
@@springdeerling7866thank youuu
How about AOT? I reckon the dub for that mostly is pretty good, though I’d still pick the dub over the dub
Yu Yu Hakusho's dub is superior to anything tbh!
I've been waiting for FMAB content ❤️🔥
thx guys, good luck always🥹
I'm so used to the Dub that the Sub sounds cursed. I legit can't listen them without hearing the Dub voices in my head.
Same
Complete opposite for me, here I was excited that I finally found a channel doing the sub but apparently they switched to the dub so I won't even bother with this.
@@KaregoAt Yeah thanks for confirming this. Dub is fine, but still has that standard cringe performance. Sub is the only way to go for me.
I'm fine with either and I watched in dub originally
@@KaregoAt sorry but the sub just doesn't hold up to the dub in this case, literally every main character is better in dub than sub. Some background performances are meh but in the grand scheme of the show? Dub us where it's at
So excited you guys finally posting yo😮ur FMAB watch! I cant wait to follow along & see your guys reactions for the series. I gotta feeling you all are gonna LOVE Mustang & you'll appreciate Ed/Al's dynamic & storyline
This video is old af. Glad you guys pulled it off Patreon-only and put it on YT.
Also good to see that Cannon is pulling deep into his roots of Anime haterade still to kick this show off. Curious to know how y'all feel about it now that you're done with it.
when was this video originally recorded?
@@gigabit6226 In the fall of last year? I could be wrong tho
@@gigabit6226 september 8th on their patreon
@@gigabit6226 I'm an old person, so I'll say Q4 2023, but closer to December, maybe late November? Can't recall exactly, but in that timeframe.
OMG you guys are finally posting this on yt? As non patreon I've been waiting for this one to be released here. Yes!!
Ohhhh fmab, you guys are in for a treat. One of the GREATS.
This is a masterpiece! And whichever you choose either Sub or Dub it's gonna be a good ride.
I was gonna suggest episode 1 and 2 to get the bigger picture right away but I guess you'd appreciate more separately seeing how some people felt the first episode was 2 much
Been following you guys for a while and was waiting for this❤
Omg I’ve been waiting for this !! Can’t wait to watch y’all’s journey with FMAB ☺️
By the way for the first episode it is like a recap for 2003 version of Fullmetal Alchemist. Actuallay starting from second episode it will go more understandble
It is not at all a recap, and is an anime original episode. It was specifically designed to get people interested in the story.
The second episode, while great, really throws viewers into the deep end without showing them what the rest of the series will be like. The manga itself doesn't even start with that whole story, and prepares the reader with the brief Lior arc.
Listen guys, I'm a sub watcher all the way. HOWEVER, this show's dub just hits like you're watching a cartoon from back in the day. I'm just saying that kinda adds to the entire atmosphere of the show. Definitely give it a good try! (My favourite voice change is by far Mustang's)
yep
they've finished the show and watched all of it in dub
Totally. And in dub, it sounds much funnier in the funny parts and very sad in the sad parts.
@@AidanDonnelly-sn2nv how do you know?
@@thelustfulbehelit2827they have it on their Patreon. I think they finished it around 2 weeks ago
I'm glad you guys started watching this and posted it to yt 😊
This show has so many layers! Its equal parts simple and complex at times, its so well balanced. Im so excited to see it unravel for you guys
i really wish you guys watch noragami but i know it wont ever win the poll or even made it.. good plot, nice balance of action and comedy and the MCs are voiced by people that you guys know well too..💙
edit: plus, quality animation
it makes me mad that carter is the only one with consistent good takes

I am so freakin excited for this!!!! Both versions of FMA have had my heart since childhood! Super unexpected to see this reaction from y’all but I cant wait!
The world building is amazing and alchemy is one of my favorite power scales I ve seen in an anime. Both versions and the movie are awesome imo.
I can safely say this one will blow your minds
Wow watching this subbed makes me relize how good the dub is. The translation and the emotion is so high quality on the dubbed.
I am SO ready for this!!!!
OMG YES! FMA is like my favorite of all time! 😭 Im so glad you're doing an episode on it. Enjoy watching FMA guys! It'll be a wild ride!
The dubbed is WAYYYYY better than sub in this anime, this is coming from a person who watched all of one piece subbed.
Yip, much easier to keep on top of all the moving parts.
They already watched this on patreon. They end up switching to dub
i recommend the dub for this one the emotion in the actors fits a bit better in my opinion, and there's some things that feel heavier bcuz of how their said in relation to the soundtrack in the dub vs the sub they do rush thru some arcs in the beginning but i think that's cuz the original started canon and then went into whatever the original wanted to do while this reboot version is entirely canon with some lesser components of some arcs watered down or cut out to focus on the main storyline later on
They end up switching to the dub in a couple EPS. They already watched all of it on patreon

So happy to finally see FMA being uploaded onto the channel. Kind of weird to be seeing the guys from like last september lol. I've been wanting FMA on the channel since it was announced last year and have been commenting about it recently so even though there's no chance, I'd like to think this was for me 😂. Right as I'm gonna get a patreon subscription when I get payed tomorrow lmao
Whether you watch it in sub or dub, I'll enjoy watching the reactions either way. There is a lot of information for sure, and it can be easier to pick it up when its in dub and you don't have to focus on reading a ton while watching what's happening on screen. The dub for this show is actually really good too, so its a viable alternative. 💙 This episode also feels pretty loaded, because the show was meant to start on episode 2, but they wanted an episode to draw viewers in and introduce what to expect during the course of the show itself, so we got this as the 'official' episode one.
Guys you can watch the dub for this one cause the voice actor were the best expressing and playing the role given. Especially when Führer King Bradley May he rest in peace
To this day i wish there was a version that combined both versions of fma (minus the filler of 2003's) so the early episodes dont feel as fast paced.
I'm so glad you started Fullmetal Alchemist! It's one of my favorite shonen ever. It's great and unlike other shonen of its time, its story is very condensed and tightly-paced. The plot points never wander and unfold organically to present you with the story's bigger picture. Plus, the power structure and mechanics of the world directly correlates with the story's ethical questions and conflicts.
FINALLY ITS ON UA-cam
We need more surprises like this☠️☠️☠️....Common w from gek boys🗿
Fma:B is my favourite anime of all time, and I normally find reaction channels through it so I'm super glad you're watching it.

i've been waiting for this moment for so long, this show is fire
Just watch it in sub lol. There is no point in trying the dub when yall clearly have a bias. Its okay to prefer one over the other but why tease the dub when yall are instantly gonna say the dub is trash and complain about it the whole video?

This is the one anime where it wouldn't be a bad thing to watch the English dub. The voice actors did a phenomenal job.
I have been waiting for them to react to FMA brotherhood, so excited
When it comes to anime, sub all the way for me but this is one of those where the English dub is actually better.
One of a handful of anime with a good English dub. +1 for the dub if you haven't decided yet. 🤞
Dw, they switched to dub
My brother showed me fma when I was in middle school back in 2013 and it’s the first anime I watched from start to finish. Went straight into brotherhood after that and I’m so hype u guys are finally watching it. Ur in for a treat, there are so many moments i can’t wait for you guys to experience. Brotherhood starts off a bit jarring if you haven’t see fma but the next couple episodes slow down a bit from the first ep
The plot in this is 10 out of 10. Nothing is comparable
The dub voice of this is so good. Really recommend it.
they switch later on

9:24 They took off the Freezer's sleeve that had the transmutation circle. They thought that's the only transmutation circle he had. Although not confirmed, the transmutation circle Freezer has on his hand might be carved out of his own skin, because any ink might get smudged by the gloves or by sweat. Not a lot of alchemists make permanent transmutations on their skin because it's an ever evolving science for them. What you make permanent on your skin might be obsolete/considered weak alchemy in the future. And permanent transmutations on skin are coded equations; even if you copy them on your skin, if you have no knowledge how it works, you can't produce the same results.
Guys!! The reason why it seems like you've been dropped on episode 40 is because this first episode is actually filler. It is canon to the anime but it wasn't in the manga. It all makes more sense from episode 2 onwards
1000% DUB, FMAB = GOAT 🐐 🔥🍻 this is a blend of Avatar & AOT
