Hello everyone!
So I just realized I'm at about 9,990 views! Wow, in only a few months i've hit 10,000. that's insane. anyway, I'm currently working on a few different shows, that's why i've been rather quiet lately. and most of my reviews have been short and uninciteful, it's just a matter of getting back into the rhythm of watching movies for critique instead of fun.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Hellsing Ultimate
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD
Somanycharacters I am a huge fan of the original anime series Fullmetal Alchemist. It's a near-perfect vision of what anime should be. It has drama, humor, love, action, suspense, you name it, it has it. It was so good, in fact, I proclaimed it to be Something very common in anime is for a popular manga to be animated before it has concluded. This happened with the original Fullmetal Alchemist series. Once the animators hit episode 34, they had caught up to the manga. They then had to create a brand new ending to finish the series. Fast forwarding several years, the manga has been completed. Not wanting to miss any chance at milking a cash-cow, the series was remade, from the beginning, to tell the entire story. This, unfortunately, was a huge mistake. The first 34 episodes of the TV series (I don't know how many books of the manga it took) is compressed into a mere 13 episodes. The content is told in an extremely hurried fashion. While the previous series used these episodes to introduce us to the characters and to slowly build the drama, the new series rushes through everything so quickly it doesn't have a chance to breathe. "That's OK," I told myself. "On future rewatches I can watch the first 34 original TV series episodes, and then watch the new series starting at episode 14 to see the entire story."
