Something I should correct Bamboo Dong on, they couldn't have started FMA Brotherhood at the introduction of the Xing characters

Yeah, I made that point earlier, too.

Amazingly, I've actually heard the "start from the intro of the Xingese" suggestion from people who have actually been reading the manga. Boggles the mind.

People who liked the first adaptation of FMA should watch Soul Eater. They would find both animes awesome with lame endings. The first FMA end so abruptly leaving a lot unexplained, even the movie left a lot of strings still loose. I was disappointed, but then I read the manga and went OMG this is the bomb. The first adaptation has nothing on the Brotherhood.

And can u guys stop calling FMA brotherhood a remake, because it is not a remake. It is a true adaptation, minus first episode. Another thing, if Peter Jackson decided when he was making LOTR he would deviate from the book, I bet you would object. Oh, wait maybe Jackson can tell stories better than Tolken, the greatest English novelist of the 20th century. People watch adaptations not because they want to see something different, they want to see it as accurately as possible. Just ask any narutard

Oh and ask any real FMA fan (not those who watched the 52 episodes one and think they are FMA fans), but those who read the manga, because they love it.

Fullmetal Alchemist should be about hope, always trying to reach your goals even when life tries to stop you.

In the anime Ed gives up, he stops trying to suceed, and because of that he abandons his friends and loves one.

Lol wut? The first series was about that, too. Ed never gave up in the series. Where are you even getting this?

Now you're just trolling.

Why does he stay in the other dimension?

He gives up trying to get back up, he gives up being with Winry.

If you put the manga version of Edward in that situation, no way does he stay, he finds a way back home.

If you knew how the FMA manga would end while the first FMA anime adaptation was still airing, could you done a better job and making an ending that's true to the manga, even though it was an adaptation? Or you just didn't like it ended, even though it did ran 52 episodes as per scheduled?

You tried to compare anime adaptation to movie adaptation is like comparing a Japanese hybrid to an American monster truck, two different beasts with completely different goals. Just ask any movie fan.

I read the FMA manga, and I still don't like the "remake" of FMA anime that's shooting for a closer adaptation to the original manga. Just because fans like you, who shares the same mentality as narutard fans, demands it. And thus take away anime creativity.

Considering that the alternate dimension is spoiler[our world, and the Uranium Bomb was obviously never found, probably means that Ed gave up within 2 hours. Unless you honestly want me to believe that Ed found a nuke, and then somehow disposed of the nuke. Which doesn't make any sense. It's not like you can hide a nuclear bomb in your closet.]

[spoiler]Then again we are talking about a movie that spoiler[tries to tell us that the Thule Society developed incredibly advanced rocket technology 10 years ahead of it's time, and never gave the research to the Nazi party, or that Fritz Lang looks exactly like King Bradley, the Fritz Lang whose picture is on wikipedia must be a fake Fritz.]

Anyway that is going away from the topic which is that the new FMA Brotherhood is not a remake but an "adaptation" of the manga, I do not see why you need to deviate, just deliver what the fans want. This is the only point why FMA Brotherhood is here, to satisfy people who read the manga and want a true adaptation of the series.

If you do not like the anime then chances are you do not like the manga so do not watch it and don't complain about it.

You're being way too critical.

spoiler[Just because the events were based on history, doesn't mean they necessarily follow history entirely.

Whether Edward and Alphonse succeeded in their mission to find the bomb is up to the viewer. Of course, I would have preffered if they left it up to us how the brothers reuinted, as well, since the movie wasn't really that necessary to begin with.]

Here's the thing the movie was supposed to happen in OUR world, not something like our world. You can't have technology that doesn't exist, nor can you have a nonsensical plotline like a secret society with like a thousand members trying to invade a country that's military probably numbers in the ten thousand.

It takes place in our world in the same way that Indiana Jones movies do, using our history, but sort of stretching things a bit.

Also, the head of the Thule Society believed they had the proper technology to fill in the gaps between any possible difference in their militaries. She had no reason to believe that a so-called paradise would have such a large military force.

By the way, Dietlinde Eckhart was a female version of Dietrich Eckart, a member of the real Thule Society in history.

Here's the thing, the movie claims that this is our Earth, that this really happened. I would have no problems if it was like indiana Jones, a movie that is just trying to be fun, but the movie tries to be relevant to go beyond goofy Nazi movies like Indiana Jones, and it suffers from it because they try to fudge history while claiming this really happened.
