RSG may be the iconic song because of how they fucked with the Openings on Adult Swim, but the actual OP isn't anything specials.

Kind of how like the GO!! AKA Fighting Dreamers OP everyone swoons over in Naruto is real boring.

Nah I just really fucking like RSG

Fighting Dreamers is alright and all but Naruto has way better openings

Ready Steady Go is awesome.

Once I get to "Rain" I'll give you a ranking of all of them including the 4 Vanilla FMA ones.

(Spoiler, Melissa is bottom 2).

I'll be ranking them both as songs and intros (but the top 2 are the same either way)

Good taste. For me, just doing Brotherhood: Period > Rain > Golden Time Lover > Again > I forget the name of the NTtW song.

Sadly Chemistry isn't that great outside of Period, from what I've heard. And Period is both far from my favorite Opening by this point, I don't think it's even top 5 of male singers.

The first 14 episodes are in fast forward till it about passes the point where the first anime completely deviated. And I say about because there's still a bit stuff in the Greed arc neither anime covers.

Yes. I know there is a few things it does miss from the manga. (The Greed arc being by far the largest contributor to that). But it's still about the most faithful manga adaptation. Unless it's like less than 20 episodes.

It's such a shame they did Brotherhood so quickly. The manga needs an adaptation that gives it the respect it deserves.

Brotherhood is good but perfect? The fact that it bastardizes the first like 5 volumes should be enough to say it's not perfect.

There's also tons of little interactions that make the character relationships feels a bit warmer and real that just had to get cut because you can't do 27 volumes in 60 ish episodes. You can't.

This might also just be a pet peeve but I HATE giving Father's final form the same old man voice. That was so disappointing and made one of the hypest final boss introductions feel kind of lame.

Watch the first 26 of the 2003 series. Problem
Solved. (Except some Greed stuff).

You're crazy if you think they were gonna (5 years later) rerun the exact same first half for 30 or so episodes. People would have checked out. They did the right thing taking it down to around 10.

I watched Brotherhood for the first time about a month ago.

It was good but not great. A bit too comedic for my taste, was hoping for something darker.

Music was great but as a whole, the EDs > OPs.

The manga has a lot of comedic moments. The 2003 series was too dark for the manga it was based on. Don't get me wrong the manga is dark and a mind fuck....!but not like 2003. And the ending to 03 is so anti what she originally intended. FMA was NEVER supposed to have an ending that BITTERsweet...

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uq34TeWEdQ


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.
