A fun story with an interesting magic system. More serious and emotional than most shonen anime are. I actually prefer this to Brotherhood, it takes a lot more time with the characters and the background, Brotherhood has a more rushed pace to it and a lot more unnecessary characters, while this has notably better pacing.

It's a disappointing fact that this show doesn't follow the source material. But besides from that, this show is emotionally rich, engaging, and action-packed. It isn't a stupid shounen show that includes dumb humor at the worst moments- no, it is a smart and imaginative show.

Wanting to take a look at any dictionary and looking through the various definitions of the word "perfection", we would certainly find the entry "Fullmetal Alchemist". I'll try to be brief, also because to be able to talk in depth about what makes this anime a real masterpiece and my favorite cartoon it would take hours of reading. I absolutely agree that compared to its 2007 counterpart, this differs considerably from the original manga, however it is in these differences that its strength lies: the desire to neglect, sometimes delete or even simplify characters and subplots. , but at the same time strengthen, analyze the main elements with greater strength and depth, thus giving space to one of the characters that I will always carry in my heart Maes Hughes, who in my opinion received a better treatment than the one I had in Brotherhood. Many dialogues have been structured to make the atmosphere dark, mysterious, but culminate with moments of hope, relief and that in a way make you feel good for the characters. We are talking about the characters: their psychological evolutions, their biographical backgrounds, their sufferings, their dark moments, their happy moments, their friends, relationships, the redemptions of bad guys like Greed and Scar; they allow the viewer to create real emotional and empathic bonds with the characters. Comedy is always an icing on the cake: never out of place and puts a good mood in us.
In conclusion, this work is a masterpiece that everyone should admire at least once in their life, for any age.
Final grade 12/10

Personally, I prefer this show to Brotherhood. Situations feel a lot more natural and I find characters and events more interesting. Every time I watch the first episode, I get chills. That tells you this show is doing something right. The animation is very nice, the music is great, and the story is engaging
