Hello!!! This is Dorchet-chan, for those who know Dorchet-chan from DeviantArt, Dorchet-chan has decided to start a blog to post the anime reviews that Dorchet-chan does. Yeah, yeah, everyone does anime reviews, but Dorchet-chan likes to do them anyway, and Dorchet-chan likes to take review requests, which means that if you want an anime reviewed, Dorchet-chan will watch and review it for you. So no more delays, Dorchet-chan is gonna jump right in with a review of one of Dorchet-chan's favorite animes, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood review

In a failed Alchemic ritual, Edward Elric lost his right arm and left leg while his brother Alphonse, lost his entire body. Fitted with artificial limbs known as Automail, and his brothers soul fixed to an antique suit of armor they head out to become Alchemists of the Amestiran State Military in order to gain information on the object that might allow them to return to their original bodies, the Philosopher's Stone. Along the way they gain many allies, including Ed's superior, Colonel Roy Mustang and his crew and the Twelfth Xingese Prince Lin Yao and his servants. But with new allies also comes new enemies. Mysterious beings known as Homunculi try to thwart Ed's efforts at every turn and force him to assist in their devious plans. As well as the Homunculi, the dangerous Alchemist Killer, a man known only as Scar, tries to kill Ed and Al to avenge the death of his people. Through it all Ed and Al persevere and try to make their wish come true.

The series Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a remake of the original series, now supposed to closer to the manga. As for the plot, it follows the manga closely, but seems to be a little to fast paced, it makes it difficult to get attached to the characters before they are removed from the series. The animation is average, in some instances it is incredible, perfectly done and beautiful, and other instances the characters appear shoddy and poorly done. But if you can overlook the animation, and get down to the story, the series is quite enjoyable. As for the opening, the music choice was well thought out, even if it seems a little more dark than the show, but the animation was poorly thought out, it doesn't lend itself to the enjoyment of the series. The second opening is a much better done opening, but the first one is still burned into the viewers mind. In my personal opinion, the series as a whole comes out well, but many important individual components are severely lacking.

7 out of 10
