So when I enter in the anime world, my friend recommended Fullmetal Alchemist to me, he says "oh this is easily the best action anime ever." But I watch the wrong anime lol. I love the Fullmetal Alchemist from 2003 and for some reason I was afraid to watch the Brotherhood cause, maybe too much action can ruin the philosophy of the classic, and man I'm happy to be wrong.

After some years I decided to give a try and really surprises me, and maybe it hurt me a little but is way superior than the 2003 version, but I wanna start with the problems/flaws, because doesn't exist perfect series, except mirai nikki he is perfect.

Obviously the first 10 episodes is rushed, especially compared to the classic, they probably think that everyone that decided to watch Brotherhood will first watch the classic, and this make no sense , and oh my god the first episode is horrible, with you didn't watch the classic will be a mess, the music choice is questionable in the first episodes too, aways repeated the same two tracks, and obviously the comedy, humor is very subject,the first episodes exaggerated a lot, (I think I only laugh of two jokes)even in moments when he shouldn't used, this really bothered me especially compared to the 2003 version, but fortunately the humor start disappeared takes some episodes but he "disappeared".

Now the things that this show do right, it's impressive, the storytelling is amazing after the 17 episode the anime just get better and better, the animation is amazing too, considering that it's been 13 years since the beginning of this show, the choreography of the fights is great, they start using others soundtrack, the voice acting is great in both sub and dub, and the character development is spectacular, my main issue with the classic one it's the fact that he only focus on the two main characters, and kinda forget the rest, but this one focus in every character, even the secondary have an appreciation too, the villains are great especially King Bradley, he is way more interesting than the last version.

Other things that is great is the pacing, there's no filler episode and no slow or boring episodes, and the result is 64 episodes that are enjoyable and entertaining. Even with the "shounen" energy he still can be very dark(cof cof Nina) with is really a good thing.

My favorite part is probably the conclusion, it's so well made and written that made me so happy, especially today that is kinda rare having an anime that don't disappoint in the conclusion is obviously a positive point.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is easily one of the top tier animes, I'm happy that my expectations didn't disappointed me if you are a action, adventure or even drama fan, I highly recommend this one, you probably will be satisfied.
