FullMetal Alchemist New Series 2009

This is a semi-clone.

This is a remake using the manga storyline. The anime diverges greatly after the first twenty or so episodes from the manga.
 
Episode 01 i actually liked the first episode, it's been soooo long since i saw the last FMA so it was a good refresher in my mind, and plenty of action with all the main characters getting some good screen time. The next episode is a definite filler with them retelling us the whole beginning...that i'm not looking forward to since everyone knows that part.
 
This episode wasn't that bad.

The connection between Roy and Riza is at least established. It's going to become pretty important at one point.

We don't even really see what happens to Basque Grand in this version, so I can't see why it would matter a whole lot.
 
It did turn out to be a problem with the subbers so I do retract my grievance but I can only laugh when someone calls Shinsen-subs retarRAB.
 
LOL! yea i think i'm just a bit of a pessimist is all. you are trying to talk about all the cool, positive parts about there being alchemy and i'm trying to talk about the fact that there would be people who oppose the world and try to bring about destruction... i have to say, thanks for helping me realize that i'm such a pessimist, that's something i definitely need to fix.

ANYWAY, we have gotten very off topic so i'd rather not kill this thread any more than i already have
 
I never read the Manga but I still like this version better. It is cool cause Its very quick and to the point and i think that if i were never to see the first FMA I would understand things good with this series... IDK maybe i am wrong but i think so haha...
 
Hey man, left/right is kind of a basic thing, but yeah Shinsen is usually pretty quality so I'll retract my comment as well. Anywho, shouldn't be discussing specific subbing groups. :x
 
Don't get me wrong, i really liked the comedy as well. Its just that when you tell the same joke over and over, it stops being funny after a few times, and they already told all these jokes in the last series. But there are other funny things every now and then that makes me laugh so its not that bad.
 
To my opinion, I prefer the first serie of FullMetal Alchemist. In fact, I don't like the funniness of this anime ! It's so ridiculous.

Note that it streams right away with no way of pausing, making the video lag every 2 seconRAB. I couldn't stand it, so I'm waiting until a youtube link is up.

But seeing Al in armor would, hopefully, mean that they'll start from scratch following the manga...?
 
Pretty good first episode. I liked the first series's first episode a bit better, but this one was still good. The nostalgia is already having an effect on me. It's great to see this again. =)

And even though it's going to be hard for the first couple of episodes, I'm not going to compare this to the original, especially the characters and events since the personalities of the characters in the manga compared to the original anime is a bit different.
