_A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart. A fullmetal heart."_ *--Edward Elric*
Edward is SUCH a good character. He can def be the typical OP but he has such human motivations and emotions. I really love the way his character was built. He wasn’t some go-lucky boy helping people to help them. He was doing it for his own gain but still had a kind heart. Him ‘retiring’ was the perfect ending and so was him and Al being separated. I genuinely love this show so much and I’m glad it’s still talked abt to this day
Well, now in 2023 I pretty much got tired of tragic endings. I only watch very few anime now because I always need to “cleanse” myself out of depression every series I watch and it's getting harder now because actual good wholesome, feel-good animes are now hard to come by.
@@hinnyu7748 But it's not really a tragic ending for FMA. They won, they're alive. Al even got his body back. It's just that like real life, it's not a *perfect* ending. Which I think is enough of a distinction for me not to consider it a tragic ending. It's not edgy. If you want feel-good anime, "Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu" is one I've been watching recently.
I never got why brotherhood fans always demonize the 2003 anime Heck brotherhood expects its viewers to watch that version first because so much of brotherhood's beginning is so rushed and it skips over characters and plot points expecting its audience to have seen the 2003 anime first
What's interesting about Envy is that he only refers to Ed as "Full Metal Pipsqueak" for most of the series. As he says his goodbye to Ed, that's the first and only time Envy refers to him as Edward Elric.
0:20 Technically he only lost his left leg to the failed human transmutation. Losing his right arm was the price for bringing his brother's soul back in binding it to the armor.
I literally just finished the video covering Al, so I clicked on the channel curious to see if there were any other FMA ones to find this right here. Have to say that it was excellent timing
This anime in my books is the best anime I have ever seen, it’s not like the other “magical” anime that be like “ oh magic just exist and if u yell louder or talk about freind ship u get more powerful”, no this one is backed up and and made so good. The science fiction in here is the best, and the half of the op are a masterpiece
There are only two that I can think of are a tie for me. This Anime the 2003 version and D.Gray Man 2008 version. Both have very similar concepts executed in very interesting perspectives on their own, and amazing main characters.
@@josephnacario81 My main 2 problems for this series is should I watch brotherhood or the original, And does Edward work for his powers or is he just strong at the start because he built something?
You know its always the top anime who didn't know their parents at birth or lost both of them during life that are the top and most powerful people Deku:well mother time to die
@@BarghestsFatAss that's what makes this anime different ... He had the power of using alchemy without Transmutation ...but he chose to be a mere ordinary human being... That's what makes him unique and one of the best MCs of all time.

Know one thing I love about Edward / FMA in general.... well specifically 2003. no weird oversexualization of ANY character. no female lead character calling the male lead character a pervert or awkward romancey/sexually scenarios. Romance is only present in Brotherhood and not even a subplot at that. I love to see it. Not every single story needs in-your-face romance, or romance at all.
Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 deserves a version! Especially the way the original deals with homunculi - Sloth being Edwards mom is more meaningful than in Brotherhood.
I'd like to theorize edward. Edward looks like miles edgeworth from ace attorney just becuase of the hair, but the hair colors have diffrent color, maybe the hair was dyed. And there! My theory :^)
I always wondered why when he restored the armor why he never encased the blood rune so that way it was watertight and always protected within its own little chamber and only accessible through alchemy
not exactly. the summary of the entire anime. major plot points have been explored upon through different character's povs. take in the dwarf in the flask flashback, it was from Hohenhaim's pov
Woah woah woah woah woah, what happened to the whole Ed being transfered to the other side, Al coming back as a 10 year old with no memories and all that?
Is it full metal alchemist or full metal alchemist brother hood because those are two different story’s if it is the first full metal alchemist the stop showing scenes from the other show
Its brotherhood/manga (some clips from the 2003 version were used to fill in places brotherhood only briefly mentioned but happened in more details in the manga and 2003 version )
@@alexc.g8525 You realize that after 2003 ended, the manga was hardly even halfway over at the time, right? So whatever that happen in future manga chapters only happen after 2003 ended. So what is your point?

I can personally relate to Edward’s pain…
No my mother isn’t dead I’m just short
the way you said "ALEX LUIS ARMSTRONG" was so funny
Even though fma 2003 is not purely canon,its still holds a special place in my heart..the ending shows that not everything ends with a perfect smile.
