Adult swim...Fucking it up again...
So the new anime was the old anime sort of. Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood. This is the second anime based on the manga and this is the one that follows the manga. Course you could just wiki this if you wanted to know that. The main difference is the scope is easier to follow and contains less flashbacks and plot points that get forced down your throat. And following the manga it has the other million or so characters that the original anime didn't have. So how would I be able to make this judgment only after seeing one episode. Cause I have already watched the first twenty episodes. And no I didn't illegally download this... it's on the fucking internet already. On youtube funimation has been streaming these in the uncensored, undubbed, subbed, japanese version. With only a minute or two of commercials interspersed in the streaming it's also easier to watch on the internet. That's right... when ever the fuck you want to. But sometimes the English version is easier to digest for some people. First off the themes both opening and closing are clipped. This seems to be something that adult swim does to Fullmetal only. Even bleach with it's fucking eighty two thousand themes gets played in its entirety. Now this isn't the issue that one could complain about. The voice acting is as good as the first but I can't help but hear Al as sounding a bit younger than he should. Also major hughes stays in his wacky voice way longer than is tolerable (course it ain't like he's gonna live that long) but this isn't really an issue either. The real issue is that adult swim made a purchase of something that we can see unedited for free. They have a tendency to edit out blood and nudity cause we are in the USA. Even airing a disclaimer means you have to play around with the natural order. Blood isn't a problem. Nudity isn't much of a problem. Stop fucking with things. Also if you are stuck on this no blood thing then you are missing the other animes that are nice and bloody that we will never get to see on tv over here. Still since I mostly work saturday nights (cause I suck okay) I really don't get to see these things. The good is that I will not have to complain as much. The bad I won't get to complain as much (I miss complaining already).
