Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Complete Collection One
M**T
A masterpiece
This isn't the original Fullmetal alchemist anime that released and had a movie brotherhood ! This series is canon from the manga's and fallows the story in every way the manga described And the way it was meant to be ! Emotionally breathtaking English dub and music that godly in sound to having drop dead seeing our favorite two faces in high definition and this was for me only the basic DVD version ! And that's okay because wow the picture and the sounds unbeatable in recent anime releases ! Can't spoil the plot or details on anything besides what I have mentioned ! But hopefully this helps your decision and can leave me a like so I know my opinions are heard and helped ! Matthew quint YT Youngreddawg158

Pro's and Con's
I recently have been watching the anime subbed on Youtube and Hulu, so I was overjoyed to find that I could finally watch the anime dubbed. But as any anime I have a few pro's and con's:Pro's The voice actors in this did a amazing job on this, the writing is superb, and the suspense keeps me up in the night till 2 in the morning. I'll admit that in the beginning I was very "if-ie" about another person playing Alphonse Elric, especially since it was a girl, but over time I grew fond for the "girly" Al. When I went back a few days ago to watch the original it was strange for me to hear the other persons voice playing as Alphonse! I have to say that the animations are also wonderful as well as the writing. Every point gets across as the Elric's discover a evil plot involving the philosopher's stone, what it is it made of, and what they have to do with it. I would recommend FMAB to any FMA fan who didn't like the ending (like me), or anyone who was a fan of the darkness in Soul Eater or the drama in Fruits Basket (the manga).Con's: One of the reason's why I bought FMAB on Amazon was to make Amv's and post them on Youtube. What I didn't factor in was that the DVD's might have been copyrighted (which they are) which means that I can't upload them to Movie Maker or PowerDirector. The only way how to get rid of the copyright (as far as I know and if you've got a better solution please reply with it) is to get a DVD Ripper (AKA more money down the drain). Also another problem arose while trying to make these videos: you need the disk in the player while having it up, so I couldn't have more then 7 episodes (ex: Ep. 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 7). The point is this is that if your buying this to make Amv's DON'T buy off of Amazon and make my mistake over again. If you have had this problem already easiest solution is to buy it off of Itunes. This makes to so you can have what ever episodes you want in it so you can have the 1st episode and the last in the same Amv .Keeping that in mind, the first season costs around $30 while the second season is split up in parts so I can't tell you how much is the total cost is, but you will have to invest money in this. The only problem I found in the anime is that the beginning feels a little rushed to me. The first 5-8 (?) episodes that spanned the first 1st and (in some cases) 2nd volume of the manga gave very little time for character development and attachment that was found in the first go at the Fullmetal Alchemist "world". For example, Nina in Brotherhood didn't have much time to develop (Rose was another character I felt they didn't do justice to). Don't be surprised that a some of your favorite characters didn't come back to do Brotherhood. A some new people had to come and do the voices characters such as Roy, Alphonse, Maes, and more.If you have doubts about whether to watch this or not, go to dubbed online or Youtube and then buy FMAB if you like it. I give it 5 stars for the suspenseful action and drama this anime has to offer. Well done Funamation!PARENTS:In part one of the series there is no nudity. But there is violence and blood.

One Of The Best Anime In History
There is so much to praise about this anime... The story is extremely detailed, every character is unforgettable, the voice-acting is phenomenal, the fight scenes are super entertaining, and the music is absolutely awesome. And the ending is probably the most satisfying ending I have ever seen in anime. Even after watching it for the fourth or fifth time, I was so engaged and learned things that I somehow missed the other times I watched it. A must-see series.

I'd buy again just wish the case was higher quality.
The show is excellent it's the quality of the case, It's terrible! Made of cheap flexible plastic that feel like it's going to break by touching it and every time I open it half the discs have fallen out, This really irritates me since this is a really good show and I want it to last especially for 50 dollars.This is not to discourage buying it's mostly to maybe push the quality up.

Mustang is still useless
The original FMA anime follows its own storyline while Brotherhood follows the story in the manga. The two series have basically the same story until they get to Lab 5 and the two anime go in vastly different directions. I'm not here to tell you which series is better. I like them both equally because they are both excellent shows. Brotherhood is much more fast-paced but it also skips a few things from the original series. The first episode of Brotherhood has an anime-only story and an anime-only character and Mustang is introduced in a rather wonky way. Mustang isn't introduced as this badass character but an useless oneI also like the origins of the Homunculi more in the original show. Not that the origins of Father and his ilk are bad but there's really no explanation on where Father came from other than a throwaway line. The motivation of Father is also kinda boring: become a god to "fix" the world. It's just like any other anime plot.Brotherhood is far from bad. It has great characters, great action, great funny moments, great animation and a fantastic dub. I feel like I should justify why I prefer dubs over subs.The subtitles usually go by a tad too fast for me to read them. I usually focus more on the subtitles and nothing else. Plus I can't tell who's talking if someone is off-screen unless they have a VERY distinctive voice; all I'm hearing is Japanese and NOT the character who's speaking. I hear no accents, no emotion, no passion, all I'm hearing is a foreign language that I can't understand without watching what amounts to is a book--an actual book--shown on screen page by page. I don't watch anime to read a freaking book.Yes there are good dubs and this counts as one of them.The original show is good and so is Brotherhood. I would recommend both shows actually. They are equally good in my opinion.

字幕の消し方
字幕の位置を下げることにより画面から字幕を消すことができます。DIGAの場合、字幕→字幕の設定→字幕の位置で字幕を下げてみてください。他の機種でも消せると思います。

Fullmetal-tastic!
I absolutely love the new FMA series, reading the manga before the first series I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to see some of my favourite scenes from the manga animated but with this new series I got exactly that which makes me so happy, which is why I didn't question ordering the series as soon as a I can and I found it with importcds_ and they shipped it quickly and it arrived right on time! Definitely will be ordering from them again!

On the shoulders of giants
A not-to-be-missed anime that shines above its competition. The astounding narrative will pull you in even after the finale. This is a story worth looking in to, trust me.

when are you going to buy? now
音声はDolby TrueHD 5.1、日本語 Dolby TrueHD 2.0となっているため日本語音声で視聴しようと思っている方は5.1chのスピーカーでも2.0chの音声となります。(日本語音声の場合は英語字幕付き)ディスク4枚で各8話ずつ(計32話)収録されており最初に他アニメの宣伝があります。All playは当然として、Episode選択もあるので見たい話だけをすぐに視聴することもできます。鋼の錬金術師に出てくる登場人物は日本語名ではないので(エドやアル、ウィンリイなど)英語音声で聴いていても違和感がないのは助かりますね。発音が良すぎてブラッドリーに聞こえたりはしますが。北米版の声優さんの演技もなかなかのもので、さほど文句を言いたくなるような場面はありません。余談ですが、「うま・・うま・・」「馬?」「赤ちゃんが生まれる!」といった日本語の洒落が混じった場面は「the bay...the bay...」「the bay??(馬)」「the baby is coming!」となっており、凄いなぁと思いました。
