The Philosopher's Stone is an actual part of real-world alchemy. Of course, real-world alchemy doesn't actually work, but it was a serious study a few centuries ago - the idea that you could turn materials into something more valuable or useful. The Philosopher's Stone was a perfect material that allowed the user to turn lead into gold, heal injuries and extend their life. The creation of a philosopher's stone was a central study of alchemy but of course, no one ever achieved it.

Real-world alchemy is quite relevant to _FMA,_ because the author, Hiromu Arakawa, did a lot of research and incorporated that into the work. Even one of the character's name is based on a real alchemist's name (slight spoiler: Ina Uburaurvz vf anzrq nsgre gur 16gu-praghel Trezna nypurzvfg Cuvyvcchf Nherbyhf Gurbcuenfghf Obzonfghf iba Uburaurvz, nyfb xabja ol gur Yngva anzr Cnenpryfhf).

So exciting! This is a great anime! Im sure youll really enjoy it.

Show recommended DEATH NOTE I am super glad to see this. Hope you watch Fullmetal Alchemist as well. Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood is good but watching the original helps you develop bonds with characters.

I'm really excited that you're reacting to this, it's easily one of the GOATs in anime. Some anime do one thing or another better than FMA, but really none have managed to top it in all areas, and it excells in pretty much all areas. I'm sure others will or have explained it, but the pacing in the first dozen episodes is a little fast and condensed. The reason is that there was a different adaptation that came out several years before, but the original source manga had not yet finished. Due to delays, they had to basically invent the back half of the original anime. FMA Brotherhood is the more faithful adaptation, but the problem was that it came out close enough to the original anime adaptation that the kind of had to assume you were at least a *little* familiar with it. That's why they introduce so many characters so quickly, it's rapid fire because at the time the audience was largely expected to have known who they were already and instead of fully recreating 25ish episodes exactly the same, they sped up the beginning so that they could get to the new material faster.

This makes me very happy! So looking forward to this! *EDIT:* I agree… the English dub is great.

Okay, so here's the deal with The Philosopher's Stone. It's totally an idea thought up by alchemy IRL. They called it a stone, but they weren't sure if it would be solid, liquid, energy, or what. They just "knew" it would be the magic ingredient that could turn lead into gold, or give you immortality. Why was the lead into gold part connected to the immortality part? Because alchemists didn't understand about atoms and periodic elements yet. They thought lead and gold were states of the same matter, and that gold was lead "purified". Therefore! If you could "purify" lead into gold, then you could "purify" a human being with all their flaws into a perfect immortal angelic being. They weren't seeking the philosopher's stone for wealth, and not even seeking it for the immortality, but to reverse the Biblical fall of man from the garden of Eden to restore mankind to its original state of grace. Like nature had a crack in it, and it was their job to spackle it. That was the idealistic premise, anyway. Governments and treasure seekers just wanted the gold and immortality.

I would absolutely LOVE to see her reaction to Cowboy Bebop, probably my favorite anime of all time and a true CLASSIC.

It's not an anime series, but I really think you'd like the animated series Love, Death, and Robots. Each episode is a short story, about 8 - 20 mins long depending on the episode. They are all very unique and well done, and some of the best animation and storytelling you'll see.

It's so cool that you're reacting to this as it's one of the best ever.

Dude I'm so glad you're reacting to FMA Brotherhood!😌👍🏼

Always excited to see my favorite reactors take a journey through this anime!

This is the best anime to start with if you have never seen any. And I love that you're watching the english dub. IMO it's better than the native language. There are so many great anime that I don't really have a number one but I say this my favorite, usually.

The nicest thing about the fmab community is that I can just trust someone will tell u what the best video pairings are. Oh, I needed this today. Go queen. Lolz

Yes! One of my favorite anime and it’s the dub! Bless you 🥹❤️

Glad u like the music, it's one of the strongest features of the show, not enough people mention it!

FMAB is a great show. One of the few where the dub is quite good. I will enjoy watching with you!

I usually prefer original audio in everything, but this one really has excellent voice acting and I love the people who did it. (Critical Role ftw!). There is also an extra voice acting outtakes video and it's pretty hilarious. EDIT: On the other hand, I like that you kept the english subs to the japanese version, the translation is much more precise.

I personally feel like any work should be watched in its original language, simply because that's the truest form of the directors vision.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (slice of life, adventure drama) 3. Avatar: The Last Airbender * (action, adventure drama, most FMAB-like) 4. Demon Slayer (action, adventure drama) 5. My Dress-Up Darling (romance, comedy, slice of life) - just to throw in some other genres

As someone who's in the original/subbed version camp, this anime hold a special place in my heart as one of the first dubbed animes that I watched. Brotherhood is a great anime, but imo you should've maybe started with something you could finish in a week or two depending on your schedule like Frieren, which is easy to pick up and given your knowledge of the German language the characters will be easy to remember.

So happy to see you enjoying this series Mary. It's just begun, but I really think you'll be gratified watching it. Thank you, ma'am!

FMAB has some of the best Dub voice acting of any anime. Just fir fuhrer Bradley alone the Dub is amazing.

I loved this show when I was younger. It still holds up pretty well, but the Full Metal series has two different canons that mirror each other in a lot of ways and can make being a fan a chore.

As far as I'm aware, they're only for translation of the Japanese (unless they added ones for a re-release, or it's different in region 2 or something). Not sure, but there _might_ be closed captions. But those are very different. You need a CC decoder to see them, which I don't think is very common in computer media players. Or there might not be CCs at all.

Dont worry about the preview, this show is done so well that there is absolutely no spoiler in the preview

I’m looking forward to this series so I really hope you like it. As for other anime titles I just want to say you should avoid any Studio Ghibli things. They are GREAT, don’t get me wrong, but they are super into making copyright claims. There have been a number of reactors that I like who have lost their channels because of them and had to start over from scratch which I would hate to see happen to you. If you watch any Ghibli things I’d make them Patreon exclusive. OK, thats it. Enjoy Fullmetal Alchemist!

AHHHHHH EXCITED!!!!!!! GOOD SHOW GOOD SHOW!!!! This show is the very peak and best example of English dubbed anime, it revolutionized the industry into American companies taking voice acting seriously. That being said, you are not a native English speaker, there is a high chance subtitles will be just as appreciated as English dub.

Watch Cowboy Bebop. It's only 26 episodes and it's one of the best. The English dub is also incredible. You've GOT to watch it at some point on the channel.

For once I'm glad someone is doing a dubbed version. I've seen the anime years ago, but the subtitled Japanese version. So I'm going to watch the dubbed episodes before your reactions now. Also my eyesight has gone really bad and it will be at least some weeks before I have new glasses, so I'm struggling with the subtitles. This will be great!

Hell yeah… get ready it’s gonna be a wild ride

Hellsing Ultimate (Dubbed) would be an interesting anime for you to watch come October. Vampire all around 😂

Yay! I know it wasn't me but having said to maybe watch this in the last animated movie video I feel like it is :D

I think the subtitles you have on are for the Japanese dialog. There might be another option to have cc subtitles for the English version?

If your looking for excellent anime that people will be excited for then Attack on Titan has to be the top of the list.

anime: Lovely Complex romantic comedy

Ed being annoyed about his height (or perhaps, lack there of) makes a LOT more sense when you know that he's 4'8. And 15 years old. He IS short for his age. The milk propaganda comes directly from the author herself, as she grew up on a dairy farm (also her author avatar is a little cow). If the difference between the subtitles and what was being said confused you, it's cause those would be the english subs for watching it in Japanese (so a more, direct, translation), as opposed to the subs for the dub translation (the "dubtitles" as I've seen them referred to). So there's going to be a slight difference in translation(b/c dubs and subs have different parameters to work with, such as the dub having to match the lip flaps on screen, while the subs have timing and can't be to long since people need to be able to read them). So you have the Japanese subs turned on as opposed to the dub-subs on. If that makes sense. Unrelated but your cat looks very adorable and is just stealing the show chilling out back there.

Are you German? This is a really good Anime, and yes the English Dub is actually better im opinion (same with the anime "Death Note") Next episodes should be interesting.

Anime suggestions: the first season of Berserk

Well, the first episode showcases the personalities of the main characters and (very superficially) the world and the magic system, so viewer's have an idea what they're getting into. Then it just follows the manga; granted, maybe a bit rushed until we get to Dublith, as the 2003 series had already covered those bits, but we get the same exposition and character development as we got in the manga or the 2003 series, so it should be equally easy or hard to follow.

The new FMA is good, but it's always a shame because they never start watching the original FMA, which is much darker, takes a pessimistic path and ends with everything going wrong and everyone broken, both FMA are not faithful, each one adapts one part, just as the second has a lot of things that only exist in the first, anyway

As annoying as it is, the differences between the dub and the sub are fascinating. I always love seeing how people translate things to get the same point across fot different languages

Vinland Saga is another great anime to check out. Seeing your taste and emotional intelligence in previous reactions, i think youll absolutely love it. Its also one of those anime that is paced, written, and storyboarded in a way that is similar to live action. Its one i could see being a great live action if they treated it with the proper respect it deserves. Thats another reason why i think its a good show for newer anime watchers to check out.
