Both the OP and the ED put cream up in my jeans.

Depends on what you like. Original, creative anime? Then probably not.
But hey, if you like cliche romance/harem anime... ehhhhh fuggitaboutit!

But yeah, anime of the year 2009 right here. Will probably end up being my favorite of all-time or just under TTGL is it's executed as flawlessly as the opening implies.

Bastards playing up the Hughes angle. Dont do this to me again. That scene with him and his wife having a late night chat. Don't want to go through it again...
Interested to see what this adaption is going to skip and then link in with. Seems like it's still going to do Lior at least?

I highly doubt it. However, I'm sure the usual workarounds are possible.Mii said:

So does this mean
they're gonna rename the Homonculi to their original manga names?
Huh?Relix said:
You don't read the manga, nor did you finish the original series?
I could maybe understand where you were coming from with regards to the manga (you'd rather experience all the content for the first time animated), but the first anime series diverges from the manga around the halfway point, so it shouldn't have any impact on your enjoyment of this series.

Oh man, the first episode was really badass. The only new VA that I didn't really like is Armstrong, but I guess I'll get used to it soon enough.

Read the OP.
OP is awesome, first episode was pretty good, although I'm dying to see some darker episodes. Can't wait for the next episode.
But I wonder how they're going to manage the chronology; the first series went from the Lior episode, then back to the preceding events until it caught up with the Lior episode again, right? If next episode is analogous to the original series' second episode, I'm guessing that means we won't see the events in Lior until a much later episode, even after Ed becomes a state alchemist?

Awesome. It looks like they got the formula down. I have faith in this series.

The animation was so nice. :O The ending and the opening are both quite nice as well. Watching this with Japanese voices is so weird; I want the American VAs so badly. >_< I've tried to substitute their voices in my head, but it doesn't work that well. I rather hope the next episode is of a more serious tone. Serious FMA > Wacky FMA.
I'll have to go back and check, but there didn't seem to be much of a noticeable score.

Yeah, that was a bit disjointing. Then again, all the voices are disjointing.Halycon said:

Funimation won't have it up until April 9 at 10:00 a.m. Don't inquire about illegal/questionable methods too much or duckroll may smite thee.FunkyMunkey said:I know this has probably been asked, but where can I watch the first episode online subbed if I live in the US? Thanks

My only major gripe with the episode was the scene near the end when Al brings up how they had suspected Isaac had the Philosopher's Stone and Ed just says that they'll do better to leave all investigations to the pertinent authorities. You'd think Ed would be jumping out of bed, injury or no injury, to go scrounge around the alleys for a fragment of the Stone.

Now that you mention it, that is a bit out of character. I figure they just didn't want to spend much time on the Philosopher's Stone just yet.7Th said:
Yeah. :\ I just hope that it's only for the first episode to get new viewers. Though, it wasn't completely void of darkness.zhenming said:i guess this new one is refreshing but i dont like how the animation turned out.... its less dark/serious....
Like when Bradley kills Issac.
The last series had very "wacky" episodes too; it's just part of the charm. Anyway I'm pretty sure it's gonna get much more dark as the story progresses; even the promotional posters seem to aim at a much serious tone than that of the original series.zhenming said:i guess this new one is refreshing but i dont like how the animation turned out.... its less dark/serious....

I really enjoyed it...though I don't know how it compares to the original one..as Nostalgia might kick in...or just because I haven't seen anything of this good quality (animation) in a while.

Yeah, you are absolutely right.
I feel like I appreciated it more because I actually understood what was going on.
Newcomers must have been really confused.
