Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood🦾🩸
Sit down boys, girls, and attacc helicopters cause imma tell you the story of how this show completely shattered my heart and stepped on the bits and pieces for good measure.
So, imagine me— a naive and happy-go-lucky child, who was unaware of the hardships and problems of life, watching this show and in utter horror (hehehe foreshadowing) realize that life wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine, I mean I’m not that sheltered and I knew not everyone had the best life they could have, but it made me think about how other people live and what choices they had and have to make.
The whole Scar arc was definitely my favorite, seeing his story, from when he was introduced as a villain to us—the viewers, understanding why he made the choices that led him to where he is right now, and not just him.
Most shows would probably put in a generic mustache twirling villain and call it a day, but when I was watching this, I realized that I could understand each and everyone of the characters. They were/are so fleshed out that if I was put into this would I might also may the same choices and do the same things as them. The villains, though opposed to the brothers, were suddenly characters who weren’t just black and white villains. I understood their motives and decisions.
And let’s not forget the others. Roy Mustang, Mae Hughes (insert me bawling my eyes out), Riza Hawkeye, Major Armstrong, and so many more made me feel emotions that I didn’t know I could from a show.
When I pressed play on episode one I expected a good time; a show to entertain me for a minute and then for me to forget everything and move on, BUT I got so much more than that and I’m not mad about it. This was the first (and hopefully not the last) anime that made me stop and think about life. I got countless lessons from this and words cannot describe how much I love this show.
