This aspect has been considerably toned down ever since they got to the exclusive manga material

You almost have to. Brotherhood needed to rush what had already been covered by the original series, and they cut out a number of arcs and scenes. Until the recent episodes, the series felt horribly rushed.

Actually, i'd like to hear the opinion of someone who hasn't watched the first season. Maybe it just felt rushed like that to use because we knew all the stuff that was missing from the last anime adaptation.

I didn't watch the first one

The second one isn't rushed at all..

you know I can't say much more about it... "it's not rushed", is pretty much all I can say.
you could say it's fast paced, because you see many new and different characters each episode.. but thats not a negative thing imho.

I don't know what parts didn't make it into the second anime, but at least I don't have the *feeling* that something is missing.
If someone would ask me about the story, I'll have no problems to explain it.

Well there a few things that in my opinion should have been mentioned, but as i suspected if one didn't know about them beforehand they don't really take anything out of the story

I'm sure they'll all be explained eventually later in the anime

Krayz, are you going to watch the first one after this show has concluded?

**itadakimasu** · Sun, 07-26-2009, 03:29 PM

I saw the original anime and only read the first couple of volumes of the manga so I haven't really felt that it's rushed, aside from the part w\ the chimera's... that was a more involved storyline in the first anime and in this one it just all happened really suddenly and didn't have any kind of build up. When marta died in the first series it was kinda emotional and what not but she had no charactor buiild up and then just died quickly in this one.

uhm maybe ye, if I can get it from a friend or I'll visit to a stream-side.
I won't download it though (because it's been licensed for such a long time here :/)

I want to see the fights in the first series, from what I've seen in AMVs etc, they look great too

[Eclipse] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - 17 - HD | SD

**darkmetal505** · Sun, 07-26-2009, 09:22 PM

I've seen the original and keep up with the manga. I don't feel that Brotherhood is fast-paced and it seems to be following the storyline spot on.

**Prof. Chaos** · Mon, 07-27-2009, 12:53 AM

Thanks. Though has anyone else compared the HD to the SD?

**DarthEnderX** · Mon, 07-27-2009, 01:24 AM

Well that was like the most blatantly faked death ever.

Also, TWO BARRYS?! What is going on!!

***Buffalobiian*** · Mon, 07-27-2009, 07:52 AM

Do all likable characters have to die?

First Hughes, and next week, it looks like Barry. (that guy really does like being shot by chicks)

About Barry, all he remembers is having his soul being taken out of his body, he didn't witness exactly what they did with it. We just assumed it was used as a sacrifice to make 2nd-grade Philosopher's Stones.

Faked death it was. Could they have made it believable even to the audience though? I'm pretty sure no matter what happened, we would still believe Ross lived.

Except if Bradley diced or up or something. I don't think that guy messes up often. Nor is it in his interest to let the truth out.

I'm kind of regretting reading the manga and knowing what to expect, now. And yet at the same time I'm not. I can't friggin' wait for the plot to thicken.

I'm really liking that chinese(?) prince, he's hilarious ^^

They did a much better job with it on the manga, so much so that i actually entertained the possibility of it being real for a while

Also, why the hell is the anime skipping on so many scenes from the manga? Do they have a limit of episodes they're allowed to air? They've skipped some hilarious bits...
