Two non spoilerly things you should know since you're reacting to this. First, the show has several episodes with after credit scenes, you can probably find a list of them. Second, the dub team did a blooper reel for the show. It's easy to find on KZfaq and it's practically a tradition for reactors to react to it after they finish the show.

So one main difference between FMAB and Avatar is that the alchemy of FMAB is science rather than "magic". Like scientists, the alchemists tend to have a specialty (e.g. freezing for Isaac, flames for Mustang), but, unlike with Avatar, they can also manipulate other things so long as they have the prerequisite knowledge.

Most of the episodes that are in the 2003 version that aren't on this are filler though (even before the split). The only Manga cut chapters that are in 2003 are the train hijack and Yoki episodes, and the latter gets recapped later (though is a good one to watch tbh).

@mistingwolf Ай бұрын

@@BCPvideoI tried to do this a while back. FMAB is basically whiplash compared to FMA 03. So many characters are introduced so fast, and the emotional connections get rushed because all of this was covered in the original airing before the story split, which would be Episode 20 of FMA 03, and Episode 9 of FMAB. And yes, you even need the "filler" episode from FMA 03's mining town misadventure to understand some of the events that happen in FMAB. Unfortunately, FMA isn't on Crunchyroll, even with their absorption of FUNimation's titles.

Thank you for sticking to the dub. Honestly if theres one thing that puts me off a FMAB reaction its when the reactor insists on using the subs. Having watched both I genuinely prefer the dubs.

Without spoilers, their powers are based of old alchemy. So symbols have power and different symbols allow for different changes.

For a modern example think of it more like the Glyphs from Owl House than the Bending in avatar. The transmutation circles are like a visual/pictoral spell to achieve a specific effect. A lot of alchemists will specialize in one thing- a lot of them are element specialists but you also have folks like Armstrong who specializes in Weaponized Sculptures, lol.

@TDoughter23 2 ай бұрын

Every alchemist is capable of performing most transmutations but the State Alchemists specialize. The Freezer specializes in water with a preference for freezing it. Roy specializes in fire. But, he would need the right transmutation circle to do it. I think that’s spoiler free, yes?

@laurainathunderstorm 2 ай бұрын

@@TDoughter23 yes, that a good explanation, because I've seen reactors confused when some State Alchemists transmute something that isn't their specialty, bc they don't always catch that alchemy is not exclusive, anyone can learn it and master many ways to transmute different things, specialisation is just for the sake of battle efficiency.

Yeah, don't worry about dub haters. Most of them are either older folks who have bad memories of super cheap dubs in the early 90s, or people just being snobs. Otherwise: Alchemy is a science, not magic. It's a skill one learns to do, not a talent one is born with like bending. Different alchemists specialize in different things. McDougan specialized in water, Armstrong specializes in stone, Mustang specializes with fire, but they can all do other kinds of alchemy too if they learn the right transmutation circles. This show does a great job of answering your questions as it goes on, so don't worry about things you don't understand right away. The show definitely has some mature and dark moments, but my kids absolutely loved it all the way through. Excited to watch you watch it like I got to watch them.

Didn't expect to wake up to this! FMA:B is my absolute favorite show of all time, so glad you're checking it out! No worries about watching the Dub over the Sub, this is one of the shows that has such phenomenal English voice acting that it doesn't matter too much, it'll still be a fantastic experience. It's happy, it's tragic, it's dark, it's hopeful, it's exciting with just the right balance of calm. It's a beautiful story that manages to bring together every loose end, every point in the plot, and it's nearly impossible to find any significant flaws with its writing. Now, that isn't to say that everyone's going to love it, everyone has different tastes and it's definitely not for everybody. From a purely objective point of analysis, though, it's really hard to criticize the story, aside from maybe the fact that some of the earlier story beats in the manga were skipped over because they'd already been covered in the 2003 anime.

Just so you know, Brotherhood came out only a few years after the original Full Metal Alchemist anime and kind of assumes you've watched that one. The first anime caught up to the manga about the midway point and then deviated to do its own thing while the author was finishing it up, while Brotherhood actually had the story the author intended. So if later on in the series it introduces characters you feel like you should know but don't, that's why :P

I absolutely adore this anime. Fun fact, this got made because the original FMA anime was being made while the manga was still being written and they got to the point where they got ahead of it. Brotherhood got made because they wanted a fully faithful telling of the manga. It was actually pretty fun when brotherhood first aired to see where the original anime diverged from the source material

@frenchynoob 2 ай бұрын

It's not a "fully faithful telling of the manga", it can sometimes stray pretty far from it, that myth needs to die.

@joeb918 2 ай бұрын

Not fully faithful, but a lot more faithful in comparison.

@frenchynoob besides the first episode and a slightly faster pace in the first 13 episodes (+Yoki ep cut)... where is it not Faithfull? I own the manga but haven't read it fully in a few years but dont remember any changes besides what's mentioned above.

@frenchynoob 2 ай бұрын

@@XSpiegel I'd argue those first 13 episodes are more important to adapt correctly than anything else, especially if it was intended to replace 2003 as people claim. Besides that, a lot of the flashbacks are heavily truncated, the Ishvalan War being a prime example, Trisha is barely shown _at all_ , I think Xerxes suffers from it as well. The order in which the brothers' backstory is revealed is also change I would argue for the worse: in the manga we only learn their backstory when they meet back up with Izumi, around Volume 6 or so. I'm not trying to say BroHo is bad, mind you, I just hate people using the false argument of "it follows the manga perfectly" to justify erasing 2003 from existance (my own personal bias aside, since I consider 2003 a better work of art than BroHo in every way).

In fairness they were basically just doing a recap of the previous show to get back to the point where the original show caught up with and diverged from the manga's story, so they could get there as quickly as possible and continue on at long last. They give us enough for newcomers to keep up with what's happening but it really is a recap of the first half of the previous show more than anything.

Don't worry about the dub haters! I have severe ADHD and have to watch anime in dub. (Tbh, I think it's kinda ableist for people to demand everyone watch subbed.) I always watch dubbed on my first watch of anime because I want to appreciate the art and I just can't do that if I have to read subtitles. I do sometimes check out subbed on rewatch to see what I miss.

I find it really annoying when a reactor has already stated they're watching it one way and people keep complaining and demanding they change it up. This happens a lot in the comment section of the Letts React channel, both reactors that run that channel have audioprocessing issues and doing sub would be extremely uncomfortable, but people can't seem to grasp that. Your comm reminded me of them. I myself am a sub watcher but I don't go putting my nose into other people's business because who am I to demand?

Okay, just one thing... If at any point you get confused by the introduction of a character, it's probably because the show assumes you watched the 2003 series.

You don't have to watch it if you don't feel like it(though it is worth watching) just wanted to make sure you know it's not you

This show is great. Outside of things like Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh (or Avatar if you count that, many don't since it's western-made), this was the first proper anime I watched in full as well, and while I've been a bit too busy to watch many more anime series since then, I still think you've picked a great starting point. It's also been long enough since I watched it that I can't remember a lot of the specifics of the plot outside of the broad strokes and a few specific moments, so I'm actually really looking forward to going through the whole story again with you. This show is dark as an abyss and endlessly twisty, so you're in for a ride!
