Episode 1: Fullmetal Alchemist

We begin seeing a dude drawing a circle with symbols in it (I'm going to speak as if I don't know what this stuff is from the 03 series) showing his face real quick and scrolling up to a huge city as we hear someone talk about the freezing Alchemist. It is an military briefing and the person who spoke on him was a colonel, his name is Mustang. The person doing the briefing is named Fuhrur Bradley. There is also a rising young star in this city and the Bradley is putting him in Mustang's detail. Mustang wants to confirm who is being spoken of. That person is the Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric.

We scroll back up to the city and on a roof blazed against the moon we see a blonde haired kid in a styled jacket. He is lamenting the face the colonel won't let them leave. Transition to a suit of armor talking that they already bought tickets to Liore, and wants to make sure they are still going. This armor was called Al by Edward. Ed says he doesn't know, and lets just get this over with, and the armor says lead the way brother. (So Al Elric then). This leads us to without exaggeration one of the most crowning moments in all of anime......

Op 1: Again by Yui.

Holy fucking shit. Meet the second best op in history. (Again is a better song than Period, I just feel Period does the animation to the chorus slightly better). Again is a brilliant piece of music by Yui, who was immensely talented (and not bad looking either). I believe she went on hiatus a few years ago. I don't know if she ever came back. I've watched entire concerts of hers on YT (mind you I can't understand the words, still awesome). She also did Rolling Star for Bleach, another great intro song. But truly her crown is Again. I'm not gonna talk on everything in the intro here, I'll just say that every moment if it means tons even if we have no bloody idea what they mean now. And you can tell the animation was done when they already had the song, because every beat goes perfect with what is happening on screen. (And yes, it's incredibly funny when Ed loses his limbs, Al loses his body, Winry is blown away by wind). I have never ever ever once in my life ever skipped ReWrite, Again, Period, or Rain when watching these shows. I think that says a ton since I binge watch multiple in straight hours usually.

On to the show, brilliant Op, can't do it justice.
