Fullmetal Alchemist is one of my all time favorite manga series (and I’m not just saying that because I work on the English version!), but for some reason, the first anime adapation never clicked for me. The new series, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which launched earlier this month, on the other hand, really nails it. This version isn’t a perfectly faithful adaptation either, as evidenced by the first episode that introduces an all-new character and storyline, but right away it captures the pitch-perfect tone that the manga took many volumes to perfect.
The first three episodes are up at Funimation’s website, so whether you’re a longtime Hagaren fan or new to the series, do yourself a favor and check it out.
