Full Metal Alchemist

It was rather intelligent, I agree. I was also expecting just hardcore action with alchemist fights and such, but I was surprised to note that the show actually required brainpower to intepret.

One thing's for sure. Armstrong is the best character since the other best character... things happen to him >_>

I enjoy FMA very much, i like the scar character. The first time i saw it i dint like how the kids high voice was in the big armour lol.

I've just started to watch this great anime. I'm on episode 25 right now, and i've got through 3 strait days of mostly watching FMA all day. The episodes leave you wanting to see the next one right away ;-;

I've loved every single episode so far. FMA keeps you interested by having a serious side that addresses serious issues, but also makes you laugh in other parts some parts. All the characters have a serious/funny side. The shorty jokes still seem to get me to chuckle, and whenever Hughes talks about his daughter I still laugh.

Gotta love the action scenes too. *SLIGHT SPOILER*The fight between the Flame Alchemist and Ed was damn good. */spoiler* It's not just brainless fighting either, because alchemy and physical strength apply real stratedgy and thought was put into the fight scenes. The "Anything Goes in a Fight" rule really applies in every single way throughout the series

Mind if I step in being the new one here?
*ahem*
Well, I have never seen subtitled FMA but being me if I had the money I would watch it through in english and then in Japanse. However I do like the voices in English, especially when you compare modern anime voice actors to those od old school anime.
As far as Al's voice, he is voiced by, obviously, a very young child, this actor also did the voice of Hiro Sohma from Fruits Basket. I think he was about 8 or 10 so give him a break. It's a heck of a lot better to get a young boy to play a young boy then to have a grown man try to make a youthful voice. It would just sound awkward.
But of course we could go on and on about the sub/dub wars, it's an unresolvable battle.

So anyway, the main thing I like about FMA: The raw emotion. One thing that caught me by suprise was the episode where Ed nearly gets killed by that serial murderer in the meat factory. Normally in anime the main character would whip out with ultra cool moves and put the beat down on the baddie. But in this case fear and helplessness is prevalent.
Kudos to Fullmetal Alchemist!!!

So FMA's new season on adult swim starts in about 2 minutes on AS for those of you who live in EST.

I can't stand that robot guys voice that travels with that guy with the arm. When I watched the first episode, I decided not to watch the rest.
Bad mistake I guess.

The episode just ended where I'm living at. So, if you live somewhere outside of the EST timezone and haven't seen it yet, just ignore this post...

When Ed and Al's teacher hugged them after punishing them through a major beating, I was like...Wow.
But I liked the ending theme from the first season better than the ending theme for this one. The one for the first season had a nicer melody to me.

I'm glad AS is airing the "new" episodes now. I was pissed off when they kept repeating the series up until that one part when the master comes. At least it gives me something to watch on Saturday that is actually half decent... And, with wishful thinking, they might decide to play the rest of the Samurai Champloo series...
O_o

The movie is already out. And it's really boring.

I can't believe no one has said Full Emo Alchemist yet... Holy crap i can't stand that show.

[Eyoshi]

Well, it's not like the main characters look depressed just for the sake of it. I'd imagine that it would be awful if you've lost your arm and leg and your sibling lost his entire human body and had to have his soul in a suit of armor.

Saw the new episode a few hours ago. Nothing in it really grabbed my attention, though the ending of the episode was kind of interesting.

[Omeganitros]

After the "Mercutio" of the show died, I pretty much lost interest in the show. I felt I understood everything, and with Sleuthing at some foreshadowing, I feel I know how this show ends. The only mystery I have left is this: If I remember correctly, the Humonculus said they wanted the stone to become human. Why would they want to be human?
