I’ve mostly been very pleasantly surprised by what I’ve seen from the first three episodes.

As a result, I likeFullmetal Alchemist,as a whole, a lot more than I did.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Personally, the most effective relationshipsare ones that are fraught with present-day conflict rather than just past traumas.

Before watchingFullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, I knew that Ed was a prodigy despite his young age.

But maybe that’s why I was so put off by that idea back then.

Ed only gained pivotal knowledge because of what this supposed deity forcibly showed him, which I find fascinating.

This is a trope that I greatly respect and never get tired of.

I can therefore agree more with people who say thatEd Elric is one of the best shonen heroes.

Surprisingly, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has one of the most memorable and beloved romances of all time.

Irrespective of what the actual conspiracy is, its addition just further adds to the main story’s appeal.

I could very well just be reacting to this acclaim and going in with higher expectations.
