Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
In a world where alchemy exists, people through the use of transmutation circles can manipulate and transform objects into other objects. There is one law that alchemist must follow,the law of equivalence exchange, that states to obtain something you must sacrifice something of the same value. The story follows the two Elric Brothers, who after a failed attempt to resurrect their dead mother through alchemy, seek the Philosopher's Stone because both had to pay a heavy price after breaking such taboo in the alchemy world. Edward Elric, the Full Metal Alchemist, wants to use the Philosopher's Stone to recover his little brother's body whose body was lost in the failed resurrection of his mother and the limbs he lost to attach his brother soul to a suit of armor after his brother lost his body. If you love alchemy, never ending action, and a tragic story that you can't help but cheer on for the success of the main characters, then you will fall in love with this anime.
Good anime but what is it that made you fall in love with it?
ReplyDeleteThe reason I truly fell in love with it was the way it integrated the human condition really well in the story. For example two orphan boys who felt alone after losing their mother sought to revive her so they wouldn't feel alone. In reality most people would want to do the same, There are many more reasons but this is one of the main reasons I fell in love with it.
DeleteEnjoyed brotherhood more than the first one.
ReplyDeleteTo me both seem the equally good but I kinda understand why you would enjoy it more. Unlike the first one, the brotherhood version's plot had more direction to it since it followed the manga till the end unlike previous version.
DeleteSuch a good anime. I haven't seen the brotherhood version but I remember watching the original on adult swim version when I was 15. And I still remember how hard Maes Hughes' death hit me.
ReplyDeleteYeah that death got to me as well. Such a great guy to die and leave such a cute daughter behind when throughout the anime you saw how much he love to showoff his daughter.
