I watched it until I was recommended by my classmate Lin Dabai in high school.
Pull away. I watched this "Fullmetal Alchemist" on Bo Zhao's recommendation, referring to the TV version filmed in 2003-04. Because the speed of the manga is lower than the animation, the second half of the animation is off track and completely original. Generally speaking, this often leads to a lot of criticism, such as Conan's theatrical version of cheating money in recent years, but "Steel" as an exception, its animation original has achieved amazing success, and it also attracted me to finish it for several nights in a row. 51 episodes.
Many animes are relatively slow, and "Fullmetal Alchemist" is one of them. The first 20 episodes are basically each relatively independent wandering adventure story, which is quite depressing due to the background setting, and the plot develops slowly. want to give up. I guess it was because I was waiting for the comics to progress. After 20 episodes, the rhythm suddenly accelerated, and it is estimated that I decided to create my own. The painting style of "Steel" is not exquisite, there is no Zhengtai loli or beautiful boy, but it has rich imagination and some full characters. Such as the various factions within the army, as well as the different positions among several androids who appear to be one faction. In short, each character has his own principles and what he wants. Everyone uses or confronts each other in this way, avoiding masking, and has some excellent live-action movie qualities.
Beware of spoilers below.
The director's skill can also be seen from this. The rendering of the whole atmosphere and the feelings of the characters are very depressed and sad, and the feelings of the two brothers who are the protagonists have been pushed to the top. The Russian song "Brothers" has already been integrated with this film, adding radiance and radiance to each other. Although there are still some logical problems and character motivation problems, it basically does not affect the fascinating viewing experience of this film. I have always despised happy endings, but this film has infected me, making me feel that the ending of the TV version is quite cruel.
Just a few words above. I still recommend this anime.
