My Review

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is an anime adaptation of the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist". The comedic, action-adventure anime has a good storyline as it is filled with conspiracies and plot twist that will blow your mind. The anime is also filled with memorable fighting scenes and comedic scenes that will make you laugh hard. The flow of the storyline is good as it has sufficient amount of time and episodes to tell the story. I was able to understand the storyline as the details given in the anime was sufficient. However, the anime tends to be “draggy” as it can take up more episodes when it can be told in just a few episodes. Despite it being “draggy”, the fighting scenes and comedic scenes makes the anime much better. Overall, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a good anime with a great storyline and I would highly recommend you to watch, especially teenagers. I rate this anime 8.5 / 10.


*Human transmutation is to bring back a person from the dead by using alchemy.
