Yang Xiao-Long Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Fullmetal Alchemist is the only anime ever to make me cry. It's because I played the Broken Angel for the PS2, and so yeah...it's pretty straight-forward from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its a chimera. If you watched more it would be more better. And what about Germans? Just because they use the word Fuhrer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodnight Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 No anime's as epic for as long as the last arc in FMA: Brotherhood was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaltZ Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 In my opinion, FMA Brotherhood is superior to the original series. The characters were more developed, it told more story, and I thought it was more touching. For example, in the first series when Rose was telling Edward that he shouldnt have come, I didnt think it was that touching or sad. Then look at the same scene from Brotherhood, that delivered much more emotion from both Rose and Edward. Now I'm not saying FMA was bad, it's one of the best anime of all time, but the remake was better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I watched FMA: Brotherhood and part of FMA. FMA is more of a BG to me, it showed more adventures of The Elrics! But Botherhood stood more out there, I was easily caught in it and I just kept watching. As for FMA I never really got into it as fast! Botherhood gave an amazing back story of the kings at certain times to give it more of an edge and the flash backs were very interesting. Overall Botherhood was more developed and FMA is more slowly intriguing. FMA - Full Metal Alchemist, original Botherhood- Full Metal Alchemist: Botherhood.

Goodnight Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 [quote]FMA - Full Metal Alchemist, original Botherhood- Full Metal Alchemist: Botherhood. [/quote] Technically, Brotherhood is the original because it is faithful to the source material. first halfish of the first FMA anime is faithful, but then became its own story when it caught up to the manga. Not what you were meaning, but I figure'd I'd elaborate anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No. Some opinions are unacceptable. Believing that some people are inherently inferior to others is one thing, but saying FMA wasn't good? Unforgivable! By the way, anyone with [s]more[/s] any knowledge of Japanese know why the title of Fuhrer was translated as...Fuhrer? The first series FMA anime (which I will now refer to as the 'deviant' FMA 4tehlulz) was intriguing up until the last few episodes, when...well, I won't spoil it, but one of several TVTropes pages apply, including Jump The Shark and This Is Your Premise On Drugs. Haven't seen Conquerors of Shabhala, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Fuhrer was translated as Fuhrer because he is the Fuhrer. Translation didn't change at all. Now, if I were to assume, I'd guess you are confused as to why he is also known as "King Bradley". King is his first name. This is assuming you're talking about the manga or subbed anime, as I haven't watched the subbed Brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzoku Kira- Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 It is a great show has plenty of action, and you get shocked every now and then. The episode where they got placed on the island, and that naked boy keeps stalking them. Then, when they get back they realize he took the body parts they sacrificed for their mother.

Goodnight Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The answer to that is there is no English equivalent to that word and Fuhrer is the very closest word that exists for it. and it's still not even an English word lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSS Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Führer iis a German title meaning "leader" or "guide". Also Since the action takes place in Europe-Germany and nor America the word Fuhrer was used to describe the leader (Bradley, King). So yeah there you go, the best explanation of why fuhrer was used instead of "Leader","Dai-sotou" or any other english or japanese terms used to describe Fuhrer.

Tentacruel Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Amestris strongly resembles Germany, so that's probably why they did it. Besides, it sounds cool beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I will call him: Fearless Leader King Bradley. Just considering his position, I'd think something like Chief General or Commander-in-Chief would be appropriate. Whatever. Funimation and Viz can do whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 It took me forever to realize that King was Bradley's first name. XP Amestris is Germany, Xing is China, Drachma is Russia. Brotherhood was much better IMO, just becuase how badass the final arc was. [spoiler=kinda spoiler]I like how they took the 2nd Greed's fan name of "Greedling" (you know, cause it's Greed and Ling) and Ed actually called him that in the dub. Though it sounded like he said "Greeling", but whatever.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
