Synopsis
Edward Elric and his little brother Alphonse Elric decided to do human transmutation using alchemistry to revive their dead mother. However, things don’t go as planned as they fail what they set out to do only to be affected by the law of equivalent trade, as Edward loses his leg and brother in the process. Desperately, Edward binds his brother’s soul to a suit of armour, losing his arm to do so. From then on, Edward and his brother set out to recover their original bodies back and learn the secrets of the Philosophers stone.
Characters/Development
At first I thought 51 episodes would have been a bit much but the length of it kept your interest in characters and the story for longer. I didn’t find a single episode boring as each one is as good as the last, with different adventures throughout the series developing the story more as it progresses. Characters were overall really good with great designs and their own personalities which are shown throughout, be it hilarious or serious. Some good moments was when Hughes brags about his daughter and when Armstrong brags about his muscles. Each character is developed and not forgotten about, especially those who appear early in the series, with more appearing with a useful role to play out. Even the villians had some good character development, learning more about them and getting used to them a lot more rather than just being people that only have the view to rule the world. Story wise, I found them repeating stuff about the Philosophers Stone with the same information each time got very annoying. I found the anime to flow well but a bit on the slow side, but not on a level that was boring. However, towards the end it started to get more to the point. There are a lot of twists in the plot throughout the whole series, and they are always there. These then also change how you feel towards some of the characters and get you thinking during some sections in the anime. There’s a good mix of comedy, action and emotion in the anime, which all worked well and didn’t go over the top with things.
Animation/Scenery
Animation wise, was very good and it got better as the series progressed. The battles were quite exciting but I did expect something as good as in the opening sequences, but they weren’t bad either and there was sometimes a little too much talking during those times. I felt Alphonse didn’t do too much during the majority of battles which was a shame. The backgrounds were really detailed keeping you immersed with the surroundings were crafted very well, great colour and toning. There were a lot of locations in Full Metal Alchemist adding a lot of variety to the places you see.
Audio/Music
Audio was good quality with a wide selection of sound effects and ambience used throughout the series. Voices for all the characters didn’t sound at all too similar and fit well with their characters. The Opening themes were all good, I loved the first one most as it set the scene far better than the rest. But not to say those were bad as I enjoyed each one. Can’t say much for the endings as I never listened to them, except from the first one, which I enjoyed.
Conclusion
Exciting and funny which was a very good watch that flows well and keeps on track without getting boring at all. Lots of twists and turns that can keep you at the edge of your seat with some great characters and development throughout.
