Fullmetal Alchemist review
for the first part of the manga it was really good, the story premise looks really interesting, the characters looks cool, the enemies looks powerful and threatening.
BUT I was really disappointed to learn that they really arent, throughout the story you will be met with stale repetitive comedy, there is really not much character development at all throughout the story. Most of the main character and supporting characters doesn't really do much at all, you won't really feel anything for them because you won't really know them at all. There will be also a part where they would introduce new characters that are also useless. I wished they simply developed the characters rather than introducing new ones. The enemies are ridiculously weak. The story felt really rushed it's like the author doesn't really know what to do with the original story, it ended up like they can actually solve their problems without having to go through all that, there are no real threats on the story as the enemies are just really weak, the ending so anti climatic, it ended up really disappointing me considering FMA is regarded as one of the highly ranked mangas. I feel that this manga / anime simply got popular because of the cool looking characters. |
Fullmetal Alchemist review
One of those series that isn't particularly exceptional at anything, but all the parts are solid enough to give it a very good base to work from. The art is decent, not great, same with the characters, villains and world building which feels like an industrial era Germany.
I suppose the strongest point about FMA is the bond between the brothers and their tragic backstory, it fits well into the narrative to form a basis of why they're doing what they do, rather than them just being a couple of stubborn headed kids who want to be a pirate or something. I disliked Winry and her awkward romance with Ed and their comedic moments left a lot to be desired. I give the show props for having a planned out beginning, middle and ending rather than inventing new villains and conflicts. Overall it's a good manga but I slightly prefer the Brotherhood adaptation it's one of the few series that I think works better as an anime. |
Fullmetal Alchemist review
I have watched FMA: Brotherhood first then picked up this manga, and rewatched Brotherhood again to compare (you could say my latter half of 2016 was dedicated solely to FMA). It is the first manga that I've finished and I gotta say it was well worth the ride.
Story (9) Arakawa managed to combine various genres into 108 chapters with hardly any filler which is quite a feat. Fantasy/magic (alchemy) mixed with politics with some sprinkled action and adventure on the side (and a bit of romance too). The alchemy side of things seem well-researched also and I appreciate the effort put on that. The story moves along at a smooth pace from the introduction of our main characters right into the climax and into the inevitable conclusion. I think my only negative comment here is the introduction of the Briggs arc with the reason that one character hid something important there. It just seemed quite far-fetched and execution was a bit clumsy- all to show a new place. I also had a incredibly minor issue with Arakawa's execution of the various deus ex machinas in her story. Can't let our main characters get themselves too much in a bind, eh? Art (8) This is only my second manga to read so I don't really have a good basis for comparison. However, on its own, the art is quite clean, crisp and consistent. Though not spectacular enough for me to be wowed, in general it is detailed and descriptive enough to add to the atmosphere. Character (8) FMA has a wide array of characters so it'd be impossible not to find a favorite: we have a cynic, an optimist, a vengeful murderer, a visionary, an ambitious prince and a handful of loyal henchmen among other things. I like how some of the antagonists of the series, the homunculi, aren't exactly cookie-cutter villains and were given depth to their characters. On the other hand, almost any story will have typical secondary characters who have hardly any growth and are merely used as plot devices; FMA is no exception to this. However, they are introduced and utilized in such a way that you will come and care for them no matter how small their roles may be. Enjoyment (10) When I first watched the anime having not read the manga, I thought the way the comedy/seriousness went fluidly from one to another was off-putting, but having read FMA I realized it was just adapting whatever was in the manga. My initial reaction was to side-eye Arakawa's propensity for this but I have since come to appreciate this wacky side of things. My main gripe on FMA centers around Al. He is my favorite out of the Elric brothers and this is the problem: often times he is forgotten as people mention the trials and suffering Ed face. Both brothers went through a lot together even though Ed may have been exposed to a lot more ridicule as a State Alchemist. I may be biased but I've always thought Al has always been in a tougher place than Ed is; it's just that Ed is more vocal and cynical while Al tries to be constantly cheerful despite living in an armor body. Part of this is my thinking that there are two MAIN protagonists in the story, but Ed is and has always been the primary character with Al as the supporting one. The above paragraph is my only 'real' hindrance to me thoroughly enjoying FMA and even then I'll give it a top score just because it was incredibly fun to read, it wasn't boring, it can be as deep as it wanted to be but at the same time it made me laugh out loud in some scenes. Overall (9) I think one of FMA's greatest strengths is that it is very easy to dive into but it has every little bit of everything that will please everyone. I've said almost everything I've felt about it in the above paragraphs. The next on my list is to watch the 2003 version, though having spent a long time in the Amestris world I might need a few more months to cleanse my palate first. |
Fullmetal Alchemist review
Fullmetal Alchemist is a series that sure isn't lacking in anything. The characters are well-rounded and interesting, the world is fascinating, and the action and humor in the plotline will keep you begging for more. The family bond between Edward, Alphonse, and their mother that caused the two brothers to go to such great lengths for each other and her is heartwarming. There is plenty of darkness in this manga, from cold enemies who care nothing for human lives to the questions the series brings up about humanity--but in the end, even if killers are still on the loose and the heroes are still bleeding,
I always end up with a smile on my face. The way problems are solved is always clever and you can bet on a few good laughs along the way, be it laughing with the heroes or at the enemy (or both!). The world seems real to me and it is easy to lose myself in it. The art is fantastic and what really stuck out in my opinion are the characters' expressions. I find myself feeling along with them a lot of the time. So, while like everything, this series may not be for everyone, it is certainly an amazing series that is worth your time.

Fullmetal Alchemist review
I first watched FMA:B when I was fifteen. I then read the manga immediately after.
Since then I have rewatched it AT LEAST once a year and not enjoyed it any less than the first time. Seven years later I decided to reread the manga for the second time. All I can say is seven years ago this was the first and the best manga I ever came across and seven years later it is still the best story with the best character development, life lessons, interesting plot lines and the most well written masterpiece I have ever come across. Read it, watch it, live it whatever you won't regret it. |
Fullmetal Alchemist review
I began reading this because I tried to watch the anime twice and couldn't get hooked. I know it's very highly rated so I gave the manga a try and found the manga much better suited for telling this type of story. Anyways, on to the review:
Story: The story is really good. I don't rate it higher than 8 because I found there to be too many characters and I had to go back to remember who they were speaking about. Character: I know a lot of people praise the characters, but I found them to be pretty predictable in terms of personality. Which hey, it's not a bad thing, it made the plot of the story itself even more impressive. Enjoyment: Honestly the pacing of this story is fantastic. By the end of every chapter, I want to read more. I stayed up way too late just reading on and on for this story. Overall I liked this. The manga was good. Do I recommend it? Sure. It's got a great plot and keeps you hooked. |
Fullmetal Alchemist review
No writer and manga artist could create such an amazing mangwa with the level of passion that Hiromu Arakawa has with her series FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST. Seriously, You can tell that the author went through near inpossible lengths of research, practice and work to please her fans. The Fullmetal Alchemist series stands on its own category of the quintessence of modern mangwa that a very, very few can even compare. First is the story. The author effectively intergrates relatable and very deep human and moral elements into a complex story of mytery and adventure shared between two main characters and the many of its miner characters.
Not only is the story so superbly portrayed but has also provided readers with artwork that is best described as flawless. As for charavters, From reading the series you can truly appreciate the amount of background work that has been done on each individual character. Each character of the series has excellent substance making each and every character relevant to their importance in the main story but is well organized to not overshadow the main characters as the story progresses. Truly, the Fullmetal Alchemist series is created without equal. It is inviting, motivating, deep, and complex in its intricate story and delivers its magnificence with unparalled excellence.

Fullmetal Alchemist review
I usually don't review manga, but I'm making an exception for this one since it is so popular.
When I started reading this manga, I was tired of seeing the same shounen anime tropes, especially the strong female character who also serves as fanservice and unrealistically strong male protagonists. While I can enjoy shounen anime and manga despite these tropes, I really craved something different. Full Metal Alchemist satisfied that craving. This manga is set in a steampunk world where some people rely on the power of alchemists, people who can destroy objects and reconstruct them into something else. Some of the alchemists are military officials known as state alchemists while others are just everyday people. As described by the manga's synopsis, alchemy is at the heart of the manga's story. However, there is more to the manga than this. While alchemy was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the manga, other amazing aspects included the use of automail, the characters, and the themes woven within the story. Automail is a type of metal used as prosthetics body parts. It looks cool and is so functional I wish it were real. My favorite characters that use automail are Edward Elric and Paninya. Speaking of the characters, they are the most refreshing and relatable characters I've ever seen in the shounen genre. The lead shounen protagonist Edward is a realist when it comes to personal faith, but also optimistic, caring, and considerate toward others. A particularly touching scene with Edward occurs when he is yelling at someone (can't spoil who) and he talks about how hard it is for a single mother, speaking from his own mother's experience. Another scene I liked was when he used alchemy to fix the damage he caused with his battles. This was the first male manga character I've seen do this and it was nice to see. Other characters I liked were Edward's brother Al (he was badass in the armor & has good char. development) and Scar (who has the best char. arc besides the Elric bros.). All the other characters I liked were female. Almost all the female characters in this manga had major roles and practically zero fanservice. No big boobs or boob gags to be found. The closest thing to fanservice is when one character is sitting in a bathtub, but nothing explicit is shown. This is rare in the shounen genre, but as a female reader I welcomed it. Anyway, the female characters I liked were Izumi Curtis (a tough as nails housewife, alchemist, sensei, and mother figure), Winry (automail mechanic who built Ed's arm and leg and fixes the arm), Paninya (she has automail legs that are also weapons), and Mei (a little girl who is brave, strong, and funny). Another aspect of the characters I liked was how racially diverse they were. Ed and similar characters were modeled after Europeans, Scar and his fellow Ishvarians reminded me of Muslims, and Mei and similar characters are reminiscent of East Asians. All together, alchemy and the characters driving the plot are a part of interesting social commentary on things like goverment corruption, personal faith, discrimination, warfare, and more. Depending on how much of it you notice, it may make you think a bit while you read. Overall, I really enjoyed this series and it has become my favorite shounen manga series ever. After reading and watching shounen manga and anime by men, it was truly refreshing to read a popular shounen manga series by a woman. I don't know if there will ever be another manga series or female manga creator that can follow suit, but other creators could take a page or two from this series. |
Fullmetal Alchemist review
fullmetal alchemist is set in what would be a real world europe setting. its about 2 brothers who are i guess you could say "genius" alchemists for their age. their father is gone and its only their mother who passes away due to an illness, they try to use the alchemy they learned to bring her back to life but fail and in the process 1 brother loses his whole body as the other loses an arm and a leg but manages to use what he learned to bond his brothers soul to a suit of armor. the whole goal is the series is for
them to correct their mistake and fix their bodies. there is a lot of friends and foes made in the proccess of their goal and they grow up maturing along the way, lots of laughs and tears and makes for an exiciting shonen like manga. there is a TON of action so dont worry about that. i highly suggest this as a starter manga
