![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The villains have some dimension to them and are not purely evil or misguided minions as they are in many more mainstream series. The Elric brothers and their large supporting cast are generally well thought out with believable motivations. Fans of the first anime series who have not read the manga series may be a little disappointed that Brotherhood is not a sequel, however, there are enough differences in plot to keep things interesting for those familiar with the series.ĭespite containing many visual and thematic conventions common to the genre (the prodigal youths, violent adversaries, over the top destruction, and giant sweat drops), the storyline contains an enjoyable balance of action, tragedy, humor, and surprisingly mature themes. Unlike first Fullmetal Alchemist series which had its own original plotlines, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood reboots the Elric brothers' story as it appears in the manga. This is the second anime series adaptation of the popular Japanese manga series Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa. Manga purists should be ecstatic as not only is the original storyline kept intact, but the art is closer to that of the manga as well. ![]()
