I don&#39;t watch anime that much but decided to give this one a try after seeing so many positive reviews and I&#39;m glad to say that i wasn&#39;t disappointed even a bit !<br/><br/>Viewing anime morea fiction and not a reality i constantly tried to look for flaws in this show and undermine it,but i was blown away by it. The characters are all brilliant,the pace of the story was to the point neither fast nor slow. Not even a tiny detail was left out, it had been all thought it through. The team has really done a good job overall. One thing i loved so much about this show was that each and every character was given equal importance and attention not just the elric brothers. The character developments and also the sound effects throughout the show was perfect. Although I haven&#39;t seen the original series but by judging the response this series received it&#39;s safe to say that someone should probably go for the brotherhood series first. I hope they bring out a series that takes off after the ending off this series. Overall it&#39;s safe to conclude that this anime was fantasticit&#39;s the first review written by me on IMDb. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a near perfect adaptation from the acclaimed manga series. The story follows two likable protagonists Edward and Alphonse Elric, who are both on a quest to restore their original bodies after a failed attempt of bringing their mother back, resulting in Edward having a metal arm and a leg and Alphonse being a soul bonded to a suit of armour. During their quest the two brothers run into a conspiracy that threatens the country and maybe even the planet. The voice acting is flawless and so is the animation, but since nothing is perfect here is the flaws of the series (this is basically nitpicking): 1. The beginning of the series feels rushed. 2. There are a couple things missed out from the manga here and there. Other from these the series is basically perfect and the worst thing about it is that finishing it is extremely upsetting,it was amazing the whole way through. Overall I think Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is an absolute must watch for anyone, it has brilliant story, characters, animation and the soundtrack is already being replayed over and over on my phone,every music track is amazing.
