Renton is so cheesy sometimes. Time for FMA Brotherhood.

 

[Amikami]

Well, that's it for me for now. I might be back for Cowboy Bebop later. Later.

 

[lazybones18]

Oh, it's time for "that" episode of Brotherhood

 

[Jafku]

Goodnight Toonami-Gaf. See you next saturday

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Time for some human Keldeo.

 

[prwxv3]

We need another Anemone vs Eureka clash soon.

You will be getting something else with a bit more impact soon that stars off the next arc.

 

[Baroni9]

It's been great guys.

 

[Seda]

Nina :/

 

[ThatObviousUser]

~ AGAIN - butchered ver. ~

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

I hate how Bleach gets full intros and FMA's are butchered.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i'd be mad if it was a good song

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nina :/

More like "Nina ;_;", amirite?

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

All of the Brotherhood intros are good.

 

[Parallax]

Ugh, naruto is using rise for the intro? I'm out til gxp.

 

[Seda]

Enter Scar

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Scar: GOTCHA BITCH!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

i'd be mad if it was a good song

Again is probably my second least favorite Brohood OP, but it still doesn't deserve this.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i remember whole fucking heads exploding in FMA. what the hell was that?

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Ugh, naruto is using rise for the intro? I'm out til gxp.

Millions fell before the might of Fat Ninja. Truly he is an intro-worthy villain.

The 2003 version was generally much more violent than the manga. Scar only destroys their insides, he doesn't blow up their head. I find it bizarre (or really just plain wrong) when people accuse Brotherhood of having too many fight scenes, because the 2003 anime used as many excuses as it could to shoehorn in fight scenes and graphic mutilation.

Should have edited in that quote with my previous post.

Also, I have never found the name of the song that plays during this scene where they meet Nina.

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's a good thing the military are pretty incompetent or Scar would not have been there to help them out in the end.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Edward Elric is a true Sword of Justice.

 

[RagnarokX]

Such a shame. Basque Grand was a pretty swell guy in the Ishval War.

and it was awesome, too

 

[Schadenfreude]

Edward Elric is a true Sword of Justice.

He does not yet understand the true weight of his sword.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

He does not yet understand the true weight of his sword.

That will change soon.

But with that, I'm going to bed.

Fat ninja was in rocks too. I don't understand why bleach has its intros intact, but naruto has that.

maybe those songs were created specifically for Bleach, but that isn't the case with Naruto and they didn't want to license them?

 

[Raxus]

I hate how Bleach gets full intros and FMA's are butchered.

To be fair that also means that Bleach (in theory) gets edited to accommodate for the time. So people don't have to suffer as much.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Still doesn't explain butchering of the FMA intros.

Fun fact: Apparently the author of FMA considers Tucker to be the only character that deserves to be sent to hell.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i think the original FMA had less Obviously Bad Things Will Happen, too

 

[Jintor]

Two things:

This motherfucking episode ;___;

Ed is short as fuck ey. I forgot how much he grows physically throughout the series, probably one of the few I've seen that doesn't do it with timeskips

Tucker is pretty much an asshole, so I agree.

I haven't encountered an anime with that issue except for speed grapher. And that was because of Duran Duran in the Japanese intro.

 

[Seda]

No, don't play with Daddy!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

it's worth noting that InuYasha has a generic intro as well.

Al is short as fuck ey. I forgot how much he grows physically throughout the series, probably one of the few I've seen that doesn't do it with timeskips

No, no, no. Al is the suit of armor. Ed is the shrimpy one. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SO SHORT HE CAN ONLY BE SEEN USING A MICROSCOPE?'"

Lol no, all of Bleach's songs were already singles.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

well then i have not a damn clue lol

Journey review

In case you missed it on TV

 

[Jintor]

Look again! It isn't what you quoted anymore! How can this magic be?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Evil Wears Shiny Glasses

how often does this happen in anime...

 

[Seda]

Still gives me shivers.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Sometimes Hughes' or Grumman's glasses are shiny. But Tucker's glow in the dark.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Post Changing Alchemy is forbidden. Prepare to meet the Truth.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

god this is so rushed.

and all the subtlety is gone. "WE'RE THE SAME. BECAUSE YOUR ARM AND YOUR BROTHER. WE'RE THE SAME!"

 

[-Mikey-]

The original series has better music than Brotherhood. That's for sure.

 

[Seda]

god this is so rushed.

and all the subtlety is gone. "WE'RE THE SAME. BECAUSE YOUR ARM AND YOUR BROTHER. WE'RE THE SAME!"

Yup the common complaints of Brotherhood are:

1.) First 10 or so episodes are rushed
2.) More comedic animation/slapstick throughout

The rest more than make up for it though more me to prefer it over the original FMA
